Charlotte Colbert is a multimedia artist fascinated by questions of identity, nature, inheritance, and cultural demands. Her feature debut, SHE WILL, is an ethereal ghost story about healing, witchcraft, and revenge. LA BOUM is a movie from 1980 about a cute 13 year old who goes to a fun party. Where do these paths intersect? In “the Noumenon,” apparently! 

After that far-out and philosophical conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about Mia Goth in general, and the forthcoming PEARL in particular.

Jordan quotes this interview with Charlotte from 1883 Magazine.

Greta Gerwig’s solo directorial debut tells the story of Lady Bird (nee Christine) in her final year of high school – dabbling with not just a new name, but also new boys, new hobbies, pushing the boundaries of her old relationships, and somehow disappointing her mother just by being herself (and applying to out-of-state colleges). Relatable much? Mary Kate Wiles (Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Fairly Odd Parents: Fairly Odder) definitely thought so.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about her recent SDCC Panel (on Bold New Voices in Horror).

W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America, We Need to Talk about Cosby) has carved out his own, personalized niche in media, a blend of comedy, documentary, and community. His path didn’t always make sense to his peers, but he forged ahead because he felt that his mission was clear. That’s just one thing he has in common with Denzel Washington’s Eli from the underloved 2010 “post-apocalyptic neo-Western” The Book of Eli.

Writer (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Maniac of New York) and co-host of the The Flop House Elliott Kalan has loved film and New York City almost all his life. While cinema has offered him no shortage of characters to relate to, there was one character that Elliott related to as a teenager that, for him, represents the very things he is most happy to have grown beyond. And that’s how we’ve come to discuss Martin Scorsese's dark 1976 classic, Taxi Driver.

Plus, a unique One Quick Thing about another DeNiro picture (sorta), Joker.

As Kristen Meinzer (Movie Therapy, By the Book, Romance Road Test) observes, Anne of Green Gables does something relatively rare in media: it centers the story of an adopted heroine. Growing up in Minnesota, there were many aspects of Anne Shirley’s character than Kristen saw in herself, for better and worse. She and Jordan unpack that, get meta about podcasts (Kristen did, after all, write the book on podcasting), and put an end to the myth that happy people don’t have trauma (and traumatized people can’t be happy).

Then, honest to god, in honor of Tom Cruise’s 60th, Jordan rhapsodizes about Cruise’s turn as Stacee Jaxx in the ROCK OF AGES movie.

Rebeca Huntt’s debut feature is a personal documentary that, even through its specificity, tells a story that is familiar to many but rarely depicted on screen. So it follows that when she thought hard about what character made her feel seen, no one character jumped out. But the ones that she named – Frances Ha, Poetic Justice, Lady Bird, Matilda – had something special in common with one another, and with Beba. Plus, Rebeca and Jordan bond over a childhood of watching movies as a family activity (regardless of the MPAA rating!).

Then, we keep the Greta Gerwig love rolling with one quick thing about her new BARBIE.

Growing up, writer/producer Ali Schouten-Seeks saw herself as a total Kathleen Kelly (that is, Meg Ryan’s quirky character from YOU’VE GOT MAIL). But as she got older, she began to learn the value of owning even those quirks that some would have women tamp down…much like Sally Albright in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (also Meg Ryan, of course). Only on FEELING SEEN does rom-com comp lit meet self discovery. Enjoy!

Then, Jordan embraces the vibe shift to tell you all about the new Korean film THE WITCH: PART 2. THE OTHER ONE.

Brianne Tju has starred in series like Light as a Feather, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream, and plays the lead in the new Blumhouse movie Unhuman. She’s broken barriers and had several “firsts” under her belt. But for her, seeing the films of Wong Kar-wai was a major first – the first time she saw complex romantic relationships between characters who looked like her. 

Then, Jordan has one (quick?) thing about Top Gun Maverick and the women sharing Tom Cruise’s action spotlight.

You can stream Unhuman on Amazon or AppleTV now!

When he was a kid growing up in Beverly Hills, writer/director Christopher Landon (DISTURBIA, FREAKY, HAPPY DEATH DAY) watched MOMMIE DEAREST with his older sister, on repeat. The 1981 film is now a camp classic, and Faye Dunaway's Joan Crawford is, to put it mildly, over-the-top. But on today's show, Chris tells us why he sees himself in the character of Joan's daughter, Christina Crawford (whose memoir was the basis for the film).

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a modern-day powerhouse actress. For your consideration, it's the one and only Elle Fanning.

How is an overprotected ballerina on the brink of a major career coup like an up-and-coming director with a huge debut thriller on her hands? It’s not a riddle — it’s the topic of today’s episode with Chloe Okuno, director of the brand new movie WATCHER. She’s talking about how she sees herself in Natalie Portman’s Nina Sayers in BLACK SWAN.

Then, it’s even more women on the brink with Jordan’s one quick thing about LUX ÆTERNA, one of Gaspar Noe’s new films.
