There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens when someone who genuinely loves movies gets to talk shop with the people who make them. That’s the feeling you get with Happy Sad Confused, hosted by Josh Horowitz. This isn’t a press junket. Instead, Josh creates a space where A-list actors and visionary directors feel comfortable enough to drop the usual talking points and just geek out about the craft. You’ll hear the excitement in Scarlett Johansson’s voice when revisiting a pivotal role, or the detailed thought process of Christopher Nolan breaking down a scene. Regulars like Tom Hiddleston and Kristen Stewart return precisely because these chats are so disarming and personal. What sets this podcast apart is Josh’s deep knowledge and genuine curiosity, which leads to career-spanning discussions that are as much about a person’s journey as they are about their latest project. From Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic filmography to Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic obsessions, the dialogue goes beyond the surface. You’re listening in on two people who are passionate about film and television having a real, sometimes silly, often profound, and always engaging conversation. For anyone who cares about the stories behind the stories and the people behind the characters, this is a consistently rewarding listen.
