Josh Horowitz
About this episode
There’s something for everyone on this week’s “Happy Sad Confused” with Josh Horowitz. Want to catch up with the young woman who burst out of nowhere in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”? Daisy Ridley joins Josh to explain why she signed up to narrate and executive produce the inspiring new documentary, “The Eagle Huntress” (out November 2nd). Plus Josh of course grills Daisy for some Episode VIII news, how she feels about Rey being called a “Mary Sue”, and why she left Instagram. Maybe you like a more grizzled world-weary actor? Have we got the guy for you! Nick Nolte joins Josh to talk about a helluva life, from his infamous mugshot, how it felt to be People Magazine’s Sexiest Man alive, to how he got roped into an epic prank involving Sean Penn and Woody Harrelson. Nolte is a consummate storyteller, not to mention one of our finest actors. Make sure to check him out in his return to television in the Epix series, “Graves”. Learn more about your ad choices.
