Watch With Jen - S6: E25 - Psychics, Fate, & Free Will on Film with Lina Chern
<p>Lina Chern, the Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of <em>Play the Fool</em>, is here this week to discuss psychics solving crime, predestination and tarot onscreen, and the beauty of free will on film in <em>Minority Report</em>, <em>The Dead Zone</em>, <em>The Gift</em>, and <em>Three Colors: Red</em>. Her delightful sequel to <em>Fool</em>, <em>Tricks of Fortune</em>, was released over the summer, and we did a full-length video interview about the book, her writing, and our taste in pop culture, which you can see on the Poisoned Pen Bookstore YouTube Channel.</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (12/20/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/145545464"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/145545464">https://www.patreon.com/posts/145545464</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq"><strong>Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition"><strong>Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jenjohans"><strong>PayPal</strong></a></p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>

Watch With Jen - S6: E23 - Jackie Chan with Jordan Harper & Priscilla Page
<p>When we wrapped last year's wonderful fan favorite Watch With Jen episode on Jean-Claude Van Damme, my guests Jordan Harper, Priscilla Page, Jed Ayres, &amp; I knew that we needed to have another martial arts movie chat in Season 6. Although Jed bowed out of this conversation (but did recently appear on a cool installment devoted to Andy Garcia you need to check out), Jordan and Priscilla returned to discuss the filmography, history, skills, range, &amp; persona of the once-in-a-generation talent Jackie Chan. </p><p>Covering several of the superstar's films in our overview &amp; referencing his smash American crossover success with RUMBLE IN THE BRONX as well, Jordan &amp; I shared stories of trading bootleg videotapes in school of Chan's foreign work in the '90s midwest, &amp; the brilliantly encyclopedic Priscilla Page offered key insights &amp; analysis on so many movies that you'll want to listen with a pad &amp; pen to add them to your watch list. A funny, free-spirited, affable breakdown of the man that is Chan, in this episode, we walk you through DRAGONS FOREVER, LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER II, SUPERCOP, &amp; more.</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (11/12/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/143421332"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/143421332">https://www.patreon.com/posts/143421332</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq"><strong>Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition"><strong>Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi </strong></a><strong>&amp; </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jenjohans"><strong>PayPal</strong></a></p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>

Watch With Jen - S6: E21 - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Elizabeth Cantwell, Jessica Ellis, & Roxana Hadadi
<p>Happy Halloween! We don't dedicate too many episodes of Watch With Jen to television shows, mostly because of the time &amp; effort involved in rewatching several seasons over a long period of time. But if a TV series touches us enough, if it's beloved, created &amp; executed with a true original vision, raises &amp; sets the bar, has been unfairly overlooked, or if it's something that has impacted an entire generation of fans, then we want to be sure to celebrate its greatness. </p><p>After all, in every generation, a slayer is born, &amp; in our second of two Halloween episodes, past guests Elizabeth Cantwell, Jessica Ellis, &amp; Roxana Hadadi join me to discuss all seven seasons of the landmark Gen X/Millennial favorite "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Honoring its legacy, evolution, the creative minds &amp; talents involved, we take you on a journey of the highs &amp; lows of Joss Whedon's Scooby Gang in Sunnydale, California &amp; all seven seasons of episodes of this WB &amp; UPN series. Comprised mostly of a long conversation between myself, Elizabeth, (+ a cameo by her son Cooper) &amp; Jessica, the final segment of this installment includes a great bonus chat/afterward with Vulture TV Critic Roxana Hadadi as well. (Note: We will return in Season 7 with another conversation focused on the spin-off series "Angel.")</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (10/28/25) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/142276745"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/142276745">https://www.patreon.com/posts/142276745</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq"><strong>Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition"><strong>Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</strong></a></p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>
