Starting off with his deep identification with the singularly obsessed Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, Paul shares stories of his childhood as a sci-fi loving movie nerd, his adulthood as a newly minted horror fan, and a bunch of stuff in between.
When this interview came out, Paul's latest was The School for Good and Evil, streaming on Netflix. Paul and Jordan also discuss his series Welcome to Flatch. As of this re-release, his movie Jackpot!, starring Awkwafina and John Cena, has just come out on Amazon Prime.

Comedian Jen Kober always knew why she felt an affinity with Mindy Cohn's Natalie on The Facts of Life. Natalie was the rare bigger girl on TV in the 1980s, and yet that wasn't a huge part of her character -- she was smart, goofy, and beloved by her friends. As for Jodie Foster's tomboy teen in the original Freaky Friday movie? Sure, it was good to see a rough-housing girl at odds with her mom for not being girly enough. But there was just something else about young Jodie Foster that made sense...
Presented with our apologies to any emotionally intelligent men out there ;)
The Jordan has one quick thing about the new trailer for Y2K
Jen's special is called 'No Flies on Me,' From 800 Pound Gorilla Media. You can find out where she's performing next at her website.

When writer/director Justin Simien (Dear White People, Haunted Mansion) first saw William Greaves' groundbreaking 1968 film, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One. He was mad. Not about the film's avant-garde style (part fiction, part documentary, part performance art) but about the fact that he hadn't seen it sooner -- it might've saved him a lot of trouble as he found his way in a challenging, second-guessing industry. Now Justin is introducing more people to the contributions to cinema made by Black creatives like Greaves, through his series Hollywood Black, now streaming from MGM+.
Then Jordan has one quick thing about Brandy and other stars lighting up the late-summer/early-fall horror slate.

Director Jennifer Phang has helmed episodes of some major shows -- THE BOYS, RIVERDALE, THE EXPANSE, RESIDENT ALIEN, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, and more. Her latest film is Disney's DESCENDANTS: THE RISE OF RED. In this conversation, themes of humanity, mother/daughter relationships, and robots of all stripes abound in this episode, and no wonder, when Jennifer's brought us the rich dual Grace Park roles of Boomer and Athena from beloved '00s sci-fi series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the upcoming Big Bad Film Fest, which celebrates independent stunt and action films.

Before Bill Burke founded The Optimism Institute and started hosting the podcast Blue Sky, he had a major career in entertainment business -- the first GM of Turner Classic Movies, former CEO of the Weather Channel, ghostwriter of Ted Turner's memoir, just to name a few. Now, as someone devoted to the cause of seeing the positivity in the world with clear eyes, he's brought a character who seems to do the same: Henry Fonda's "Juror #8" in the 1957 Sidney Lumet classic (like, it hardly gets more classic) 12 Angry Men.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new book from past guest Anna Bogutskaya, Feeding the Monster.

First time feature director Sean Wang wanted a story that only he could tell, specific yet relatable. And so, with his new film 'Dìdi,' (a Sundance hit this year) he chose the coming-of-age genre and a semi autobiographical narrative. He was inspired in his filmmaking by a movie he'd seen in the theaters when he was around the same age as its protagonist, Mason, is at the end of the film: 'Boyhood,' Richard Linklater's grand moviemaking project shot over 12 years of the actors' (and filmmaker's) lives.
Following that discussion, Jordan has one quick thing about the forthcoming ALIEN ROMULUS.

Sequoia Holmes, host of the Webby Award-winning BLACK PEOPLE LOVE PARAMORE grew up idolizing Raven-Symoné...or was the real inspiration Raven's character, the self-assured and big-dreaming Galleria Garibaldi in 2003's THE CHEETAH GIRLS?

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about TRIGGER WARNING (the movie).

Actor (and director, writer, producer) Devery Jacobs might be most familiar to folks from her role on RESERVATION DOGS, but she's carving out her own space in Hollywood with projects like the new movie BACKSPOT (executive produced by Elliot Page and directed by D.W. Waterson). And even as she's playing her part in making sure Native actors feel seen on screens, she's still battling to be herself on screen in projects that aren't centered around the Rez. Hear about all that, plus (of course) the many varied (and variably queer-coded) faces she's seen herself in on screen.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about LONGLEGS.

This episode originally aired in April of 2023, but has been edited to include a new and updated "One Quick Thing" at the end! Season 2 of Manzoor's We Are Lady Parts is now streaming on Peacock in the US.
Balancing the dark and the light sides of coming of age, womanhood, and navigating the social order is something filmmaker Nida Manzoor always strives for in her projects (like WE ARE LADY PARTS and POLITE SOCIETY). And she wants to shout one of her biggest inspirations from the rooftops: SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS (1998, Tamara Jenkins), which centers on high-schooler Vivian Abromowitz, as played by a young Natasha Lyonne.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about her momentous latest appearance on Screen Drafts.

Whether he's starring in major movies like ELEMENTAL or JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION, or sinking his teeth into roles like his his latest (in Yorgos Lanthimos' new KINDS OF KINDNESS), actor Mamoudou Athie follows his gut and ignores the algorithms. When Dev Patel's directorial debut, MONKEY MAN hit theaters earlier this year, Mamoudou found new depths of admiration for Patel as an actor and director -- and he also found a character he could deeply relate to in the determined Bobby/The Kid.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the latest film from past guest Ariel Vida, TRIM SEASON.
