the family stone

When it comes to the many characters of sleeper Christmas favorite The Family Stone, writer and podcaster (John Dutton Must Die: A Yellowstone Podcast, My Year With Dolly) wishes he could identify as an Amy. But he sees himself instead as a Julie – as in Claire Danes character, the sister who rushes in to save the day and somehow manages to charm the insular Stone family. He tells Jordan about that affinity and why he will go to bat for the manic pixie dream girl.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Love Lies Bleeding.

Follow Feeling Seen on Instagram

With Jordan Crucchiola and Justin Kirkland

Jordan and Brooke return to the semi-cursed land of Christmas rom-coms for this 2005 curio. It's part romance, part screwball comedy, part cancer drama (yes, really), with some very well-drawn gay characters and a truly deranged SJP performance. Plus they cover hits and misses of past AARP Movies for Grown-Ups Awards, how Rachel McAdams is somehow *still* underrated, when to avoid politics at the dinner table, and why we should all "LOVE THE GAYS!!!"
