Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.

Today, y'all are happy, sad, confused, Jessica Chastain, on two dynamic new performances in the eyes of Tammy Faye and scenes from a marriage,

plus a catch-up with Alicia Vikander.

Hey guys, Josh Harrow, it's here with another edition of Happy, sad, confused,

and yes, not one, but two fantastic conversations with two of our best actresses working today.

A little bit later on, I'm catching up with Alicia Vikander, who has been on the pod a couple times before last year was on the pod,

and I'm pleased to say is back today for a, as I said, it's kind of a bit of a quick catch-up,

but I couldn't pass up the chance to chat with her about this great new film she's in that comes out this Friday called Blue by You.

She stars in it alongside Justin Chan, who actually wrote and directed the film, really timely,

and at times the serving tale of a Korean-American man who is facing deportation, Justin's excellent in it, Alicia is excellent in it,

and shows off a different side of her, different kind of a role for her, she gets to sing in it,

and kind of a show-stopping scene, and again, I just couldn't pass up the chance to catch up with Alicia ever,

but especially for this film and this role, so that's coming up a little bit later on in the show,

but the main event, the big interview of today's episode of Happy Second Fused, is surprisingly a first-time guest.

I say surprisingly because, I mean, I feel like I've talked to Jessica Chastain a dozen times in different capacities over the years,

but somehow she has alluded me on the podcast.

She has a lot to talk about right now because she is in an excellent new film called The Eyes of Tammy Faye,

she stars in an opposite Andrew Garfield, and yes, as the title promises, this is the story of Tammy Faye Baker,

her husband Jim, these were, if you don't know it, very notorious televangelists of the 80s embroiled in different kinds of scandals,

but Tammy Faye is a very complex figure who really was put through the ringer back then by the media,

and this is a really fascinating kind of character portrait, and certainly a transformative performance for Jessica.

If you've seen pictures or video of Tammy Faye, nothing like Jessica, so a real cool opportunity to see her stretch in different ways,
