Amber TamblynEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Today on TalkGirl we have THE Amber Tamblyn joining us for a wildly nostalgic trip through the 2000s... from club-kid to poetry readings and her own fan website called Rebel Asylum... We also cover all of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants lore and how special the lifelong friendships she created on set have been. Can't wait for yall to listen x.

On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast we’ve got a couple of friends who both happen to have new but very different projects out this month: Amber Tamblyn and Mac McCaughan. Tamblyn is an actor-writer-director-poet-activist with a wildly diverse resume. She may be best known for roles on Joan of Arcadia and Two and a Half Men , but that’s only the tip of a pretty incredible iceberg. She’s written well received books of poetry—including 2015’s Dark Sparkler . She directed the 2016 film Paint it Black , which features a score by today’s other guest. She’s one of the founders of the Time’s Up movement and the author of a book about feminism and activism called Era of Ignition . And now she’s starring the FX/Hulu adaptation of the comic book Y: The Last Man , in which every man on earth suddenly dies—except one. It’s pretty awesome so far, and she’s great in it. Mac McCaughan also wears many hats, chiefly as singer-guitarist of the long-running band Superchunk and co-owner of the righteously vaunted independent record label Merge. During the pandemic—after suffering a sort-of writer’s block—McCaughan wrote and recorded a solo album, though he didn’t exactly do it alone. The Sound of Yourself features a bunch of guests that Mac wrangled over the internet—one of the only good uses for that damn thing—including Mackenzie Scott of Torres, Michael Lerner of Telekinesis, and many more. It’s a quietly contemplative record that mixes McCaughan’s perfect pop with some more ambient instrumental passages—something he and Tamblyn talk about in this podcast. Elsewhere in this lively conversation, we get to hear about how Mac and Amber didn’t quite cross paths during the pandemic, when he graciously loaned his house to Amber, her husband David Cross, and their young daughter. They also chat about writer’s block, and whether that exists, what it was like for Tamblyn to play an ultra-conservative in Y The Last Man , and their other recent projects, which include the score for Amy Poehler’s movie Moxie (for Mac), and a bunch of new books (for Amber). They also connect about ambient music and the sheer power of Bob Mould. Enjoy. This episode was produced by Melissa Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

Has feminism changed in in recent years, particularly with the #MeToo movement and presidential elections as the backdrop? A new book by author and actress Amber Tamblyn explores "coming of age in a time of rage," showing how self-reflection can lead to personal upheaval and, ultimately, positive change. Tamblyn discusses her book, "Era of Ignition," in this episode with co-host Julian Zelizer. She discussed the book during an April 23 visit to the Princeton University campus. Tamblyn is known for her work on "General Hospital," "Joan of Arcadia," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." In June 2018 Tamblyn released her first novel "Any Man."

The #MeToo movement has transformed American political debate, having a huge influence on prominent figures in a number of arenas. Many believe it could play a role in voter turnout during the midterm campaigns and even carry weight with the 2020 presidential election. Regardless of its specific effects, one thing is certain: America is experiencing a stunning period in the history of gender politics. Award-winning actress Amber Tamblyn, author of a new book, "Any Man," joins this episode with Julian Zelizer to discuss this period in American history. Released this week by Harper Collins, the fictional book sheds light on the nightmare of sexual assault. Tamblyn first came to national attention in her role on the soap opera "General Hospital" as Emily Quartermaine, followed by a starring role on the prime-time series "Joan of Arcadia," portraying the title character, Joan Girardi for which she received Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Tamblyn's feature film work includes roles in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (2005), "The Grudge 2" (2006), "The Ring" (2002), and "127 Hours" (2010); she had an extended arc as Martha M. Masters in the medical drama series House. She also had a starring role as Jenny on season eleven of the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men."

Amber Tamblyn is known for “Joan of Arcadia” and “The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants” but she got her start as a kid on “General Hospital”. Amber is a new mom and she has also given birth to her first film as a director , “Paint It Black”. Her other passion is poetry. Reading one of her poems landed her the “GH” gig!!! Her dad- the great Russ Tamblyn (“West Side Story”/”Tom Thumb”/ “7 Brides for 7 Brothers”) lost the fight to stop his daughter from becoming a child star like him.
