• Starbuck Meets Trinity! Carrie-Anne Moss on the Matrix, Meditation and FUBAR

  Wow, what an honor it was to have Carrie-Anne Moss on the show this week! You of course know Carrie-Anne from her iconic portrayal of Trinity in the Matrix. She also played Natalie in Memento and Jeri Hogarth in Jessica Jones and she’s currently starring as Greta Nelso alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in FUBAR. We talk about it in the episode, but Carrie-Anne is one of those actors, like Sigourney Weaver, who has become known for playing strong women. But I love how her strong women always have this layer of vulnerability. I’ve truly looked up to her for so long and it was amazing to get to know her a bit better! We talk about her film roles and the way she thinks about acting as a trade. We also discuss her experience being a mom to three kids and how that led her into meditation— if you’re curious to take one of her guided meditations on Annapurna Living, I recommend checking it out! This was a really fun and meaningful conversation for me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the parallels between my career and Carrie-Anne’s and what it’s like to be responsible for a fan’s queer awakening.

• Aaron Douglas Revisits Chief Tyrol and His Life During BSG

  Hi everyone! We’ve got a special one for you this week. It’s Aaron Douglas! Aka Chief Galen Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica. Behind his gruff exterior, Aaron is an incredibly sensitive guy and a brilliant performer. We talk about how he booked Battlestar, how we both overcame imposter syndrome on set and how being part of the show changed his life. We also discuss his experience of losing his first wife to breast cancer at the end of the first season and how that impacted his performance. Outside of Battlestar, you may know him for his new role as Sid Sokolowski on Murder in a Small Town, as Gordon Rimmer in Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, or even from the many graphic novels he has written. It’s so cool to see how he has built his career over the years and I know you’ll enjoy this conversation! Speaking of fun conversation, be sure to stick around for the Hindsight— my producer Jeph and I discuss the episode, answer fan questions and talk about the new community we’re building over on Patreon.

• Brett Gelman on Stranger Things, Fleabag, McVeigh and the Art of Acting

  Happy Tuesday, everyone! I love when I get the opportunity to sit down with someone who I really respect as an actor and Brett Gelman is definitely one of those people. You know Brett from playing Murray on Stranger Things and Martin on Fleabag, plus roles in The Other Guys, Strays and McVeigh. The roles that Brett plays are hilarious and there’s always a darkness to them— I found it so interesting to learn more about his approach to building a character. We talk about our acting idols and having the humility to continue studying even after you find success. In fact, this conversation convinced me to start working with an acting coach again! Plus, we discuss how Star Wars inspired both of us to become actors and which Star Wars character informed his role as Murray in Stranger Things. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!

• Ashly Burch Talks Mythic Quest and Voicing Video Games from Horizon to Life is Strange

  Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! I’m not a huge gamer, but even I know what a big deal Ashly Burch is in the video game world. She has voiced so many beloved and iconic characters, including Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, Chloe Price in Life is Strange and Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2 and 3. She’s also had a fascinating career as an actor, writer and director starting when she created Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’? with her brother Anthony and progressing to writing and/or directing on Side Quest, Mythic Quest and Adventuretime, among others. She is crazy talented and also so smart when it comes to her work and the future of the industry. We talk about AI, mental health and what it was like to grow up in Arizona the daughter of an immigrant and fall in love with video games. I had such a good time talking to Ashly and I hope you enjoy our conversation! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where Jeph and I talk about the parallels between the Sci-Fi and video game fan culture and answer some of your questions from the Mailsack!

• Kate Siegel On Hush, House of Usher, Midnight Mass and Other Horrors

  Happy Tuesday, everyone! Don’t be scared, but this week I’m talking with Horror Queen Kate Siegel! Along with her husband Mike Flanagan, Kate has helped to create some of the most terrifying films and TV in recent memory. I was blown away by Kate’s performance as Maddie in Hush, which she also wrote. She also played Theodora Crain in Haunting of Hill House, Erin Greene in Midnight Mass and Camille L’Espanaye in The Fall of the House of Usher. She and Mike are releasing a new film, Life of Chuck, which is adapted from a Stephen King novel, but is a departure from the horror genre— I can’t wait to go and check it out! Kate has found her niche with horror, but she’s such a fantastic actor in everything she does, not to mention a great writer. This conversation also touches on motherhood, addiction and sobriety and the joys and challenges of collaborating creatively with your life partner. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight this week, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and answer some fan questions from the Mailsack!
