More from Happy Sad Confused
Jenna Ortega joins the pod! Jenna is talented, introspective, and has great taste in movies. Here, she sits down with Josh to talk about her latest film, Taika Waititi’s KLARA AND THE SUN. Other topics of discussion include why she didn’t think WEDNESDAY would work, why she gravitated towards horror films, navigating fan encounters, why she’s making her way through Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise’s filmographies, and more!
The one and only Michael Douglas joins the podcast. Michael bares all in his new memoir, ONE HELLUVA RIDE, and he sits down with Josh to share an even more in-depth look at the book’s revelations–plus a few that didn’t make it to the page. From telling his father, Kirk Douglas, that he wanted to act, to getting pushed by Oliver Stone on the set of WALL STREET, to an account of what it was like to film intimate scenes before an intimacy coordinator became the standard, to why he decided to do ANT-MAN, this episode is a treat for anyone who’s resonated with Michael’s prolific life.
Welcome back an old friend of Happy Sad Confused, James McAvoy. James is back on the pod to talk all about a new career milestone: his directorial debut, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’! James also spills what his Picard tv series pitch was, why he thinks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is one of the best comic book film adaptations ever, and how he landed Mr. Tumnus' role in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. Plus, why James never screen tested for STAR TREK, why he compares his performance in SPLIT to Inde Navarrette in OBSESSION, and more!
Where to even begin with Ben Affleck? In a true career-spanning conversation, Ben and Josh dive deep on his latest film ANIMALS, how feeling on the verge of extinction led to him directing, why JUSTICE LEAGUE was a low point in his career, and why he still defends GIGLI. Plus, a story about the actor that rejected GOOD WILL HUNTING, the truth about that GONE GIRL hat incident, why Ben would reprise his role as DAREDEVIL, & more!
John Cena is back! For John’s third time on the podcast, he and Josh chat all about his new film MATCHBOX THE MOVIE, the future of PEACEMAKER, and even look back at his wrestling career–including that iconic heel turn in 2025.
