Feeling Seen

This interview originally aired in January 2023, and we've updated it with a fresh opening and "One Quick Thing." 
Comedian Gianmarco Soresi is brutally honest with us this week: he deeply relates to Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham!) in Milos Forman’s 1984 classical classic, Amadeus. But while Gianmarco can own his Salieri-like insecurities, he can’t let it keep him from pursuing virtuosity.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about an exciting new action film from master Yuen Woo-Ping, Blades of the Guardians.
Gianmarco's latest special is Thief of Joy.

Drag superstar Latrice Royale has been in the game since before Ru Paul’s Drag Race was a phenomenon. She won Miss Congeniality on her season of that show, and went on to appear on All-Stars and Drag U. An actor and performer, Latrice leads Season 4 of HBO’s drag docuseries We’re Here. And if you know anything about Latrice, just a few moments with Della Reese’s character, Vera Walker, in the Eddie Murphy-directed dramedy Harlem Nights  will show you how Latrice’s persona may have been shaped by Vera’s no-nonsense power and heart of gold.
Then, Jordan has one quick think about Humane, directed by Caitlin Cronenberg.

We're thrilled to be adding the delightful Sophie Nélisse to the list of YELLOWJACKETS stars we've spoken with on the show; you'll recognize her as young Shauna Shipman from that series (or perhaps from her role in the beyond-buzzy HEATED RIVALRY). Now she's starring in the fun and freaky cursed-object horror movie WHISTLE, out in theaters this weekend (February 6, 2026). Now 25, Sophie's been acting since she was 11, and all that has taught her a thing or two about her emotions -- naming them, trying to control them, and knowing when they just can't be reined in. We are talking about all of that through the lens of Pixar's INSIDE OUT 2 on today's show!
Then, speaking of emotions, Jordan has one quick thing about the transcendent Catherine O'Hara.

If you're one of Chris Stuckmann's 2 million + YouTube subscribers, you've known about his debut feature, the horror film Shelby Oaks, for years -- long before the movie was bought and distrubuted by NEON, maybe even before he started the record-breaking Kickstarter campaign that funded the film. But you might not know all that much about the world Chris grew up in -- and left behind, in part because of his deep love of cinema. It's a world rarely depicted in film: the world of the Jehovah's Witnesss. And that's the setting of the movie he chose for this episode: 2022's You Can Live Forever, a queer, teen romance out of Canada.
Then Jordan has one quick thing about another horror film, this time one that just screened at Sundance: Undertone.

Jolenta Greenberg is a very familiar and comedic voice to anyone who's heard BY THE BOOK, HOW TO BE FINE, or her new show, HOT MESS-TERPIECE THEATRE. She and Jordan are talking Real Housewives, 4-Hour Work Weeks, and above all, the hilarious and sometimes horrific antics of Jerri Blank, Amy Sedaris's iconic character of the small and big screen comedy STRANGERS WITH CANDY.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Margot Robbie's overlooked turn as a heroic supervillain.
Additonal listening:
Kristen Meinzer on 'Anne of Green Gables'
Alan Tudyk on 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Resident Alien'
