Action-adventure director James Nunn's latest film, HUNGRY is about man-eating hippos in the Louisiana Bayou. This week on the show, he's telling @jorcru.bsky.social all about how he made that happen, and how Indy's quest for the Holy Grail spurred him on. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Yellow square graphic with the words "FEELING SEEN" in black text. A red-tinted image of a man in glasses, pointing at the camera (James Nunn) is framed by two film stills. One shows an angry hippo running toward the camera; the other shows two men in chairs tied back-to-back with rope (Indiana Jones and his father, as played by Harrison Fold and Sean Connery).

Sometimes the character/movie pick comes through and it's really a stunner, like "tell me MORE about THAT!" This week, we've got BUNNYLOVR director and star Katarina Zhu with a pick like that: Young Joe in Lars von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC VOL. I. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

A yellow graphic with film stills in the background -- one of a teenage girl wiping her hand across her lips, and another of a woman lying down, apparently lit from a screen she's looking at, with a small white bunny on her stomach. A red-tinted image of woman with short black hair is large in the left corner. Across the graphic, the words "FEELING SEEN."

Yellow square graphic with film strip stills in either corner. In one, woman with big hair clad in a red dress sings into a microphone with two male backup singers behind her. In another, the same woman stands in the rain talking to a man in a leather jacket. At the forefront of the graphic, a red-tinted image of Jen Yamato looking at the camera. Text across the graphic says "FEELING SEEN."

Alex Heller-Nicholas @horrornonna.com wrote the book on women in horror. It's called '1000 Women in Horror' 💅 And now it's a documentary on Shudder! This week, she and @jorcru.bsky.social are diving deep into the horror depths, with Lucky McKee's MAY as a guide. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

A yellow square graphic with the words "FEELING SEEN" in black. Around the words, comics-style graphics of eyes, along with two stills from the film MAY, both of Angela Bettis as May. In one, a slender, mousy woman stares off into the distance; behind her, we can see a pale doll seeming to stare out at us, and at her. In the other, May wears glasses and looks coyly up out of frame. In the corner of the graphic, a red-tinted image of a woman with dark hair, cat-eye glasses, and septum jewelry smiling with her eyes closed.

A true legend of stunts, Buddy Joe Hooker, tells @jorcru.bsky.social all about how he relates to both Hooper and Ski in HOOPER (a movie that might just be about his own relationship with its director, Hal Needham). #stunts #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

In a still from HOOPER (1978), Burt Reynolds as Hooper talks to James Best as Cully. In the trailer behind them, tape on one of the drawers reads "Buddy Joe Hooker."

When @mangiotto.bsky.social sent us his character pick for this week's episode of Feeling Seen, he asked "...too obvious?" Always a good sign. Fans of the cinema arts, you gotta hear the singular film critic Walter Chaw and @jorcru.bsky.social talk about BARTON FINK. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

A yellow square graphic with the words "Feeling Seen" in the center. Film cels around these words show comics-style close ups of eyes, as well as frames from the film BARTON FINK (John Turturro in a suit and glasses pointing angrily to his own head; Turturro at a desk, writing in a notepad under a desk lamp). On the left side of the image, there is a large, red-tinted head shot of filmmaker Walter Chaw.
