Rerun: Janeane Garofalo

Recorded in a cozy hotel room at SF Sketchfest, Janet and Janeane Garofalo sit wedged between the wall and the bed, following whatever tangent might present itself. Does Janet get left in the dust in matters intellectual, political and otherwise? Sure. Is that okay? It’s going to have to be, because Janeane is smart, fast, and fantastic.

Virginia - Sic Semper Tyrannis

Janet Varney presents to John Hodgman the commonwealth of Virginia! What a creature filled state! Everything from tiny bats with big ears, directional cardinals and water-based horses. But before we can get to any of that we have to discuss that motto. Sure it’s a little aggressive and has some unfortunate historical baggage; but you’ll hear why it’s actually a very hopeful message. Plus, we’re joined by Dimitry Pompée, one of the hosts of the MaxFun podcast “Eurovangelists,” which is all about the song contest: Eurovision. He’s also a longtime resident of Viriginia. And even though he’s loved living elsewhere, he’ll tell us why he just can’t quit the Mother of States. And before you ask… yes, this podcast is for lovers. Special thanks to Laura Kicklighter and Denise Sumiel for supplying episode art this week! Produced by Julian Burrell. Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.

Cyrus Cohen on 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'

Throughout the much-lauded, jam-packed runtime of EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, Stephanie Hsu shapeshifts from depressed, suffering Joy Wang to countless iterations of the fabulous big-bad Jobu Tupaki. But the flashy confidence of Jobu Tupaki might be a misdirect from the pain she's feeling -- Joy's pain. Cyrus Cohen, film critic and programmer for NewFest, gets into it with Jordan on this week's episode. Then, one quick thing about Jordan's recent Morning Edition appearance. *** With Jordan Crucchiola and Cyrus Cohen Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun.

Justin Simien on 'Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One'

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. *** With Jordan Crucchiola and Justin Simien Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun.
