Madison Iseman is making her play for horror icon status, starring in the fun and freaky forthcoming "cursed object" horror film WITCHBOARD. At the same time, she's embracing her "district attorney era" with a lead role in the new USA series THE RAINMAKER. And on this show, we can't leave out her credits playing twin sisters Lennon and Allison on the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER tv series (though Madison might prefer we did). Through it all, another iconic horror performance with a complicated history served as Madison's North Star of performance: Shelley Duvall as Wendy Torrance in THE SHINING.After this long-awaited conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about the new film EAST OF WALL, which had its premiere at Sundance 2025. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Erin and Bill threw a dragon-themed birthday party for their 1 year old. On the day of the event, Erin was horrified to see the menu that Bill put together.

Because she racks up millions and millions of views for her viral comedy videos on social media, because she's written two books including the new best-seller A Clean Mess: A Memoir of Sobriety After a Lifetime of Being Numb, because she's famous and successful, Tiffany Jenkins and her family were invited to travel to California and visit Lego Land. They paid her to have a wonderful vacation. On the ground at Lego Land, the first thing Tiffany did was have a complete anxiety-related panic attack. That's because Tiffany has an anxiety disorder. And mental health is tricky, doesn't care about your success, and it sneaks up on you.Tiffany is taking time off from producing and promoting her work to focus on her mental health, but she takes some time to talk with us. We discuss how her addiction emerged, how it led to stealing guns from her copy boyfriend and selling them for drugs, which landed her in jail, and how she built a community of stable support in her recovery. We also get into her childhood of fearing someone would die, her obsessive fear of her disease, and her recent pondering whether everyone would be better off without her around.(As mentioned on the show)Wits Reunion Show at the Fitzgerald TheaterJohn Moe's writing classes at the Loft Literary CenterMath Emergency Farewell Show at the Amsterdam Bar and HallThank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

It was the first ever two night Summerslam event in history. And it was marred in controversy for booking decisions and real-life implications:The most striking is that for the first time in recent memory, WWE publicly acknowledged Donald Trump on its show. The relationship between the company and some of its executives (including Paul Levesque) isn't surprising– but there have been those who say this will affect their desire to watch WWE content going forward. We discuss.Plus, months after being named in the Janel Grant lawsuit, Brock Lesnar has returned to the company. The primary concern of those on this show is how safe the women within WWE feel that he was brought back so publicly.We'll also take a look at the rest of the card which featured some absolutely great stories and some of the worst repeating patterns of the company.The Three Count:Danielle put over Linda McClown.Julian put over CM Punk fantastic four gear.Hal put over Seth Rollins breaking hearts.Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

The time has finally come: the Eurovangelists have gone American... American Song Contest, that is! We're spending the month of August covering one of our most requested topics: NBC's 2022 attempt to create an American version of the ESC. We're recapping the entire thing, so listen along to the show that could very well have become an American institution (probably not).

If you've dealt with depression, you know that it's a disorder that speaks to you, firing off insults and terrible idea, often right in the middle of a conversation. Barges in to tear you down. We all must contend with this rude presence. Aaron Foster is a very funny comedian who is still fairly new to the full-time comedy life but, now in his fifties, he's done a lot of living to inform his comic material. Much of his recent act is centered on a fairly recent diagnosis of major depressive disorder, a condition that he has likely lived with for a very long time. Aaron grew up with an abusive father with bipolar disorder and a brother with schizophrenia who eventually took his own life. Aaron hosted a show on HGTV, opened two restaurants, and made a living as a visual artist for many years. But all the while, comedy called to him. Something about how comedians seemed to make sense of the world appealed to him and after dabbling in standup earlier in life, he has now taken the plunge to dedicate his energy to it. In a moving and personal conversation, Aaron's depression makes a few appearances but we're always able to catch it and put it in its place.(As mentioned on the show)Wits Reunion Show at the Fitzgerald TheaterJohn Moe's writing classes at the Loft Literary CenterMath Emergency Farewell Show at the Amsterdam Bar and HallThank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

We're more than two months post-Eurovision 2025, and it's easy to fall in to an off-season funk over not having any new songs to discuss. Except the artists from this year's Eurovision have been releasing tons of songs, so Barbara and Maria of the Eurovisionphiles have teamed up with the Eurovangelists to take a listen and pick our favorites. Jeremy still loves a witch, Dimitry has a preferred style of post-Eurovision video, Maria is shocked by one of her own picks, Barbara gets tattooed for her favorite, and Oscar gets a prescription from Dr. Saxophone.

We can get one thing out of the way right up top: James DeMonaco is from Staten Island. Seeing Rocky Balboa on the big screen as a kid was mind-blowing; seeing Sylvester Stallone take a story of such a familiar kind of guy and make it into an Oscar-winning mega-franchise for the ages was life-altering. While DeMonaco is best known for his stealthily political horror films, his love of Rocky even made it into a coming-of-age project called THIS IS THE NIGHT, set around the release of ROCKY III. He and Jordan get into the importance of seeing a familiar milieu on screen, and get into the motivation behind DeMonaco's current film, THE HOME, a psychological horror movie starring Pete Davidson, set at an eldercare facility.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Netflix series HUNTING WIVES.

To blow off steam from an incredibly stressful profession, professional nurse Blake Lynch started putting together little comedy videos on social media as “Nurse Blake”. The clips went viral and he started making live comedy appearances to packed audiences, many of whom were nurses themselves. His celebrity status gave him a chance to lobby for better pay and working conditions for nurses. As Nurse Blake prepares for a 68-city tour, he talks about the conversion therapy his parents sent him to in order to switch him from gay to straight (it didn't work), his eye-opening experiences with panic attacks, and the time he spent in a mental health rehab facility following his divorce. After many years taking care of other people as part of his job, the rehab was a chance to take care of himself and his own mental health.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

We had some major late-breaking news that necessitated coverage: the death of Hulk Hogan. Most outlets have focused on his status as a high profile figure of wrestling and pop culture. But for many, he's remembered as a man whose racist opinions were recorded and published; in addition to being a liar who made false claims to support his own narrative. Danielle and producer Julian deliver some quick thoughts in the aftermath of his passing. Then, Lindsey, Hal and Danielle discuss why the build to Summerslam has felt so weak lately. Where has WWE come up short as it builds to the first ever two night version of its second biggest show of the year?The Main Event: wrestling comfort foodWhen we're inundated with wrestling events, sometimes it's good to take a step back and remember what made us fall in love with this crazy art in the first place. The Three Count:Danielle put over Unreal Worked Shoots.Lindsey put over Nia and Tiffy Barbies.Hal put over The downside of Worked Shoots.Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale has a lot of memories from growing up as a kid who excelled at sports but also treasured his Lou Reed records. He is also keenly aware of who left during those years: his mother disappearing after divorcing his dad, a beloved aunt passing away, and a revered older sister striking out on her own. Those losses informed his mental health for the rest of his life but so did the understanding of his emotional makeup left in the wake. Gavin tells us about that, the prescription pill dependency he contended with, and the lessons about mental health he imparts now to his four children.

Take a deep breath because with all of the wrestling from last weekend you have little time to rest before SummerSlam.After so many wrestling shows, we have so much to get through and unfortunately it's not all good news: Adam Cole was pulled from AEW All In for an injury that was severe enough that he considered immediate retirement.And Seth Rollins has apparently hurt his knee again– thus upending WWE's presumed plans for the next several months.We break down the implications there, plus some things that actually made us happy: Roman Reigns is back! And Evolution was an absolutely KILLER show, top to bottom.The Main Event: Evolution + Naomi's Big WinSunday was a big day for Naomi and the World Championship.

In a conversation full of personal revelation and discovery, M3GAN & M3GAN 2.0 star Jen Van Epps and Jordan think hard about the taboos of motherhood and the uncomfortable neediness of the acting profession -- and have a shocking amount of fun doing so. Leda (Olivia Coleman/Jessie Buckley) in Maggie Gyllenhaal's writing and directing debut, THE LOST DAUGHTER is a character Jen wasn't thrilled to relate to; feeling seen by Lucille Ball's irrepressible (but very thirsty) Lucy from I LOVE LUCY is a lot more fun.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Jen Van Epps  Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

You know Janet Varney from her starring roles in You're the Worst and The Legend of Korra and from hosting two Maximum Fun podcasts, The JV Club and E Pluribus Motto, which she co-hosts with John Hodgman and which just launched its second season. But to the critters of the night, Janet is simply a friend, a liaison between themselves and all the diurnal humans. She talks about many nocturnal animals she encounters or nearly encounters around her Los Angeles home, including coyotes, possums, raccoons, and skunks, who, when they're all out of stink spray, will pound their paws on the ground and make a “puh!” sound. It's cute but not nearly as intimidating as the whole spray thing.

Brandon Stickney remembers booze being everywhere growing up in Lockport, New York and he definitely remembers getting a taste for it growing up. Over time, he developed bipolar disorder and his substance use disorder added cocaine and opioids as favorite drugs. Brandon's love of getting high would cost him his marriage, his successful career as a journalist and author, and his freedom, after getting busted selling drugs and being sentenced to two years in prison. He tells us about what it's like to live with mental health issues behind bars, how both prescription drugs and illicit narcotics work there, and he tells the stories of people who helped him get through. Brandon's memoir of the experience is The Five People You Meet In Prison. Brandon lives in Florida now with his father and is working hard on his sobriety.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
