<p>It was such a pleasure to reunite with WHAT LIES WEST writer-director Jessica Ellis for this thoughtful, breezy, good-hearted celebration of three films about women's sexuality onscreen. Diving into two very different, boldly inquisitive bright lights of '90s cinema in CHASING AMY & ANTONIA'S LINE, which bookend this conversation, we also explore 2024's lovely, compassionate, surprisingly bittersweet, highly recommended indie MY OLD ASS, which feels like a throwback to the coming-of-age indie films made in that same era.</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (4/21/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/127082687"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/127082687">https://www.patreon.com/posts/127082687</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq">Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition">Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</a> </p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>

<p>It was wonderful to welcome back poet, teacher, writer, & scholar Elizabeth Cantwell this week to explore haunted houses both in film & real life, plus the existential, psychosexual, guilt-filled, Freudian, & supernatural realms of THE HAUNTING (1963), THE CHANGELING (1980), POLTERGEIST (1982), STIR OF ECHOES (1999), & more. I always learn so much when I talk to Elizabeth & we laughed far more than one would think going in given the topic, so this episode instantly became one of my favorites. Grab a flashlight & meet us at the top of the staircase, gang, we've got this!</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (4/13/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/126578705"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/126578705">https://www.patreon.com/posts/126578705</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq">Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition">Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</a></p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>

<p>And now for something completely different... featuring one of past guests & fellow authors Ace Atkins, Megan Abbott, & William Boyle's dearest friends. The first half of this week's episode with Oxford, Mississippi based ADVENTURE TIME & SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS screenwriter, voice actor, & author Jack Pendarvis is a freewheeling anything goes conversation about writing, shovels, William Faulkner cosplay, hitchhiking with butter knives, Saint Augustine, showers, & anything else that popped into our heads. Taking a look at two films about the creative process in the more classically Watch With Jen formatted second half of this discussion, we investigate two of Jack's favorite movies in director Anthony Mann's classic musical biopic THE GLENN MILLER STORY & one of Pedro Almodovar's greatest masterworks, PAIN AND GLORY. This season, I'm aiming to sprinkle in some more casual conversations with artists of all backgrounds into our traditional friendly analytic approach because right now, it feels like we're all so isolated, stressed, & wary that I'm hoping these occasional offbeat episodes might spark a little joy, discovery, & creativity for you along the way as well.</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (4/7/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/126066237"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/126066237">https://www.patreon.com/posts/126066237</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq">Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition">Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</a> </p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>
