Paul W.S. Anderson has directed some of the most iconic films in genre cinema: Mortal Kombat, the infinitely terrifying Event Horizon, and the British crime drama Shopping, a "reckless orgy of destruction" on screen. Paul has also directed and produced the Resident Evil series with six films spanning nearly 15 years alongside his wife and frequent collaborator Milla Jovovich.

Paul’s most recent film brings to life the work of author George R. R. Martin. It’s called In the Lost Lands and it’s in theaters right now! The film stars Jovovich alongside Dave Bautista as a witch and a hunter who journey into a dangerous landscape.

Paul joins Feeling Seen to talk about the film, his early years as a British director in Hollywood, and the persistent fanfare surrounding Resident Evil. Plus, we get into the 1985 coming-of-age film St. Elmo’s Fire and MARKER! A potential film showcasing Sharpies.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the science fiction thriller series Paradise on Hulu. Sterling K. Brown, our personal savior in this post-apocalyptic political hellscape.
