Marvel, Movies, & LIfe: Coy Jandreau Gets REAL Personal

Diary Of A Reel Rejects Episode 7...In all the time I've known, I've never seen him get quite so vulnerable on camera before. This episode of Diary of a Reel Reject is one of my favorites. I'll tell you the real deal...while getting some SEO words in here so I stop getting emails from people who can "fix the channel." Sitting down with Coy Jandreau - DC Studios Comic Correspondent - someone I’ve been friends with for so long, and getting him to open up the way he does here was something truly special. Sure, we talk about Marvel, like Robert Downey Jr. playing Dr Doom and how he really doesn't like it, and dive into the state of the industry—stuff that I know you all love to hear about—but this conversation goes so much deeper than that. I don't know if we talk about Superman. Coy really opens up about his upbringing with a big family, being surrounded by movies and comics, and how those stories shaped his sense of morality. He talks about rejecting traditional ideas of right and wrong and instead finding inspiration from the heroes he grew up with—characters who taught him about strength, kindness, and staying true to yourself. We also get really personal, with Coy sharing his biggest fear: losing his identity or sense of self. We talk about movies like Memento and Awakenings that hit him hard because of this fear, and how he processes that through storytelling. He also shares his struggles with emotional vulnerability, like finding it hard to cry as an adult, and the rare moments where movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 break through that wall. Of course, there’s plenty of fun stuff too—talking about his celebrity crush on Shannon Sossamon, his admiration for actors like Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), and even his frustrations with the internet’s negativity toward art. Coy’s honesty and love for movies, comics, and creativity shine through this whole conversation, and I hope you find it as meaningful as I did. #DiaryOfAReelReject #GregAlba #CoyJandreau #MoviePodcast #MovieDiscussion #RobertDowneyJr #DoctorDoom #MarvelRumors #TylerDurden #TomHardy #JakeGyllenhaal #FightClub #Memento #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy3 #SuperheroMovies #DCComics #FilmIndustry #Storytelling #InternetToxicity #EmotionalVulnerability Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Follow Us On Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/  Tik-Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en Twitter: https://x.com/thereelrejects Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...
