The creative force behind the documentary ‘The Problem with Apu,’ comedian Hari Kondabolu, is on the show this week. Hari discusses a composite of media in which he saw parts of himself in growing up, but never the full picture. Here are just a few of the titles mentioned – Harold & Kumar, Office Space, the comedian Stewart Lee, and the BBC show Goodness Gracious Me. But that only scratches the surface. Plus, at the end of the program, Jordan elaborates on the need for better video game movies like ‘Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.’

Molly Quinn on ‘The Silence of the Lambs’

This week we are joined by the wonderful actor and producer Molly Quinn. You may know her from her role as the daughter of the titular character of ABC’s hit show ‘Castle,’ Alexis Castle. Or you may know her from her new movie, the latest entry in the beloved “nun horror” genre, ‘Agnes.’ But on this very show she is going to talk about a character that has inspired her and made her “feel seen” – and that is Clarice Starling from 1991’s ‘The Silence of the Lambs.’ Molly discusses how she and Clarice both have to work harder to take up a bigger “space” than their bodies physically can. She also elaborates on her traumatic past and how that influenced her love of horror. Plus, at the end of the show, Jordan talks about ‘Benedetta,’ ‘The Last Duel,’ and the joy of being surprised at the movies.

You can see Agnes in theaters and on VOD now.
