Feeling Seen

An earlier edit of this conversation was released in March of 2024, in conjunction with the release of director Gabriel Abrantes' AMELIA'S CHILDREN.

Jack Haven comes from a creative family, and has been acting and creating music and art since childhood. In adulthood, success in their career has shown them the difference between being playing a role on screen and playing one in real life. Joe Buck, the pretend cowboy and wannabe hustler at the center of 1969’s MIDNIGHT COWBOY goes on a journey of identity, too. It’s also a journey of friendship, and one through the perils and pleasures of life in the big city. We brought back this episdoe (which originally aired just before I SAW THE TV GLOW was released) in celebration of Jack's role as the central antagonist(?) in director Jane Schoenbrun's latest film, TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA.

If you don't already know Daniel Bernhardt, he definitely looks familiar: you've seen the Swiss actor, stunt man, and martial artist in The Matrix Reloaded, John Wick, and even HBO's Barry. He starred in last year's delightful Deathstalker, J.J. Perry's Dave Bautista sci-fi film Afterburn, and Nobody 2, the recent Man of War. Daniel shares his connection to Sly Stallone's Rocky and his philosophies on success in an ever-changing world of action, stunts, and entertainment.

Samy Burch's new film, LATE FAME, stars Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee and opens this coming weekend; her big debut, MAY DECEMBER, earned her an Oscar nomination. This singular screenwriter has maybe always been a sicko at heart: she's relating to the one and only Thora Birch in GHOST WORLD, an artsy outsider teen who's trying to make sense of a the world she's constantly scrutinizing -- and being scrutinized by. 

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Statham Month at The Action Desk.

This interview originally aired in June of 2025; this version has been re-edited with new content from Jordan.

Samantha Sloyan is a familar face from countless television shows (Grey’s Anatomy, Rizzoli & Isles, The Pitt), 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, The Haunting of Hill House, and now the forthcoming Carrie miniseries, in which Samantha plays Mrs. White, Carrie's mom. At the time of this interview, Sloyan’s latest project is a departure for Flanagan, and perhaps for her as well — The Life of Chuck. 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 a new one quick thing...

With a glance at her lengthy filmography, you'd never know that Australian filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay is barely in her twenties. THE SERPENT'S SKIN (now available on digital and Blu-Ray) is her sixth feature. And while her work is generally categorized as horror or fantasy, the undercurrent of romance there is a tell for the romantic saga that made her feel seen: TWILIGHT (the books, the movies, the whole series). So which Bella is she? And how has she made so many movies already? Jordan asks all this and more...

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Alice's next movie, plus an indie from SERPENT'S SKIN actor Avalon Fast.
