Danielle Deadwyler is an actor who wows and captivates with every performance, across moods and genres. You may have seen her as Mamie Till in TILL, as Berniece in THE PIANO LESSON, or in the new post-apocalyptic action thriller 40 ACRES (in theaters and now available to rent at home). Danielle shares her deep ties to history, the whispers of the ancestors, and the power of stillness in this conversation, through her love of PAN'S LABYRINTH and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.

In a conversation full of personal revelation and discovery, M3GAN & M3GAN 2.0 star Jen Van Epps and Jordan think hard about the taboos of motherhood and the uncomfortable neediness of the acting profession -- and have a shocking amount of fun doing so. Leda (Olivia Coleman/Jessie Buckley) in Maggie Gyllenhaal's writing and directing debut, THE LOST DAUGHTER is a character Jen wasn't thrilled to relate to; feeling seen by Lucille Ball's irrepressible (but very thirsty) Lucy from I LOVE LUCY is a lot more fun.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

The rare prolific voice actor whose face is also extremely recognizable, Alan Tudyk is one of those guys who's a household name if your household is awesome. He's been in everything from ROGUE ONE and FIREFLY to A KNIGHT'S TALE and TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL. But he's really gotten his chance to shine in the series RESIDENT ALIEN (now in its fourth season!) in which he stars as Harry, an alien who takes on a human form. Alan and Jordan bond over robots, bygone comedy eras, and of course, the nearly-inimitable Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein in the Mel Brooks classic YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.

Then Jordan has one quick thing about the new John Cena/Idris Elba action flick HEADS OF STATE.

This is a moment 179 episodes in the making: Jordan and Allison Williams (of GET OUT, GIRLS, M3GAN, and much more, including her new podcast LANDLINES) reunite to talk about Allison's latest film, M3GAN 2.0 (on which she's also a producer). A little background here: up to this point, Jordan and Allison's professional lady-bromance had its apex in Jordan's WIRED profile of Allison, back when the original M3GAN came out. Now they're talking about feeling seen by two of Julie Andrews' most iconic roles, and how Allison's views on life and the characters she embodies have changed over the years.

Then Jordan has one quick thing about her nominee for who should play the new James Bond.

His mainstream star might still be on the rise, but to die-hard action fans, Marko Zaror is already a legend. He stars alongside Scott Adkins in DIABLO, directed by his longtime friend and collaborator Ernesto Diaz Espinoza. An accomplished and disciplined martial artist, Zaror idolized Bruce Lee from a young age -- just like Jason, the main character of Cory Yuen's 1986 American debut, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER.

Then, Jordan has one (more) quick thing from the realm of action cinema; MEGAN 2.0?!

DIABLO is in theaters and available to rent now on most major streaming platforms.

Today, he's a notable writer, filmmaker, and artist (Letterboxd called him "The Godfather of Queer"). And as a young man trying to figure out his place as a person and as an artist, Bruce LaBruce was instantly fascinated by the films MAKING LOVE (1982) and LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR (1977). While the two films are very different in tone, execution, and commercial success, they both center around characters who are living lives that break away from oppressive cultural norms around sex and sexuality.  

THE VISITOR is now available on Blu-Ray from Vinegar Syndrome.

Long before Catalina Sandino Moreno found herself starring in action movies with names like John Woo and John Wick attached to them,  she was a young unknown in Colombia, unsure if her dream of becoming an actress would ever come to fruition. Then, her first role -- as Maria in Maria Full of Grace, directed by Joshua Marston – earned her an Oscar nomination. Catalina reflects on that role, what it taught her about empathy and art, and how it's affected her life ever since.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Amazon Prime show Overcompensating.

Samantha Sloyan is a familar face from countless television shows, but that face will be particularly familiar to anyone who keeps up with the "Flanaverse" -- movies and shows from Mike Flanagan, like Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Haunting of Hill House. Sloyan's latest project is a departure for Flanagan, and perhaps for her as well -- it's the new movie The Life of Chuck, which hits theaters this weekend and expands next week. Together, she and huge fan Jordan discuss the ways that she feels seen by FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachan) in David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and the many ways that Lynch's storytelling style appeals to her craft as an actor.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing that doesn't stray too far from the main topic...it's about the casting of Flanagan's new Carrie adaptation.

What do the little boy in HIT THE ROAD (2021). the dad in CAPTAIN FANTASTIC (2016) and the nearly-hopeless old driver in TASTE OF CHERRY (1997) have in common? Ask actor Bobby Naderi. He and Jordan find the common thread of a nomad lifestyle and a reckless spirit across these three films, as they track the path that led Bobby from Tehran all the way to his latest role in THE BETTER SISTER.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about HONEY DON'T!, Tricia Cooke's follow up to DRIVE AWAY DOLLS.

If you're wondering what connective tissue could possibly exist between Final Destination Bloodlines and The Muppet Movie,  consider this: Jordan's talking with the former film's directors, who are feeling seen by Kermit the Frog. Since this conversation, those directors have seen their first ever studio feature film become #1 at the box office, have the best ever opening in the FD franchise (by a mile) AND the biggest R-rated horror opening of the decade. Talk about dreams coming true...can we get these guys their Standard Rich & Famous Contract yet?

Jordan also has one quick thing about an upcoming miniseries that brings the story of Hawaiian unification to AppleTV+.
