This week, S.E. sits down with actor and screenwriter Johnathon Schaech! S.E. digs into the transcendent appeal of his 1996 comedy/musical That Thing You Do and Johnathon's misrepresented character, James. They talk about the movie's ever-growing fan base, his musical talents, and his friendship with Tom Hanks. S.E. and Johnathon also go back to his childhood, his early roles, and the moments — and people — that changed the course of his life. Johnathon bravely shares with S.E. his personal nightmare — his own MeToo moment — how that trauma has impacted him, and how he works to move beyond it. Johnathon and S.E. talk about the importance of speaking out and why they both chose to do so. Before closing out the conversation, S.E. quizzes Johnathon about “Leather Coat Guy” (IYKYK)!
