Lina Chern, the Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of Play the Fool, is here this week to discuss psychics solving crime, predestination and tarot onscreen, and the beauty of free will on film in Minority Report, The Dead Zone, The Gift, and Three Colors: Red.

Watch With Jen - S6: E23 - Jackie Chan with Jordan Harper & Priscilla Page
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, & 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, & persona of the once-in-a-generation talent Jackie Chan. Covering several of the superstar's films in our overview & referencing his smash American crossover success with RUMBLE IN THE BRONX as well, Jordan & I shared stories of trading bootleg videotapes in school of Chan's foreign work in the '90s midwest, & the brilliantly encyclopedic Priscilla Page offered key insights & analysis on so many movies that you'll want to listen with a pad & 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, & more.Originally Posted on Patreon (11/12/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/143421332Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Watch With Jen - S6: E21 - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Elizabeth Cantwell, Jessica Ellis, & Roxana Hadadi
Happy Halloween! We don't dedicate too many episodes of Watch With Jen to television shows, mostly because of the time & 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 & executed with a true original vision, raises & 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. After all, in every generation, a slayer is born, & in our second of two Halloween episodes, past guests Elizabeth Cantwell, Jessica Ellis, & 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 & talents involved, we take you on a journey of the highs & lows of Joss Whedon's Scooby Gang in Sunnydale, California & all seven seasons of episodes of this WB & UPN series. Comprised mostly of a long conversation between myself, Elizabeth, (+ a cameo by her son Cooper) & 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.")Originally Posted on Patreon (10/28/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/142276745Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fiTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
