M.J. Bassett on 'Red Sonja' and Transformation as Representation
Description
Writer/director MJ Bassett's latest film, Red Sonja continues her run as a writer/director of intense and action-packed projects -- she's also directed FUBAR, Reacher, Deathwatch, Rogue (2020) and more. But when it comes to seeing herself on screen, MJ's life has two distinct chapters: before and after coming out as a trans woman in her 40s. MJ shares the small ways she's felt seen (and not always comfortably) by all kinds of on-screen transformations and characters dealing with the aftermath of transformation: werewolf movies, Man on High Heels, Monica, Space: 1999, Fight Club, and Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the news that, before his passing, Terence Stamp recorded a reprisal of his role, Bernadette, in the forthcoming Priscilla Queen of the Desert 2.
Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.
