Lin-Manuel Miranda
We throw words like genius around but it's hard to argue using that word around Lin-Manuel Miranda, the man who in large part can be credited with such pop culture juggernauts as IN THE HEIGHTS, ENCANTO, and of course HAMILTON. Here, on his first visit to Happy Sad Confused he talks about it all, from coming full circle with MOANA to why he turned down a Spider-Man villain role, to why success didn't always fulfill him.

J.K. Simmons, Vol. II
You can call J.K. Simmons a character actor, a sometime bad guy, sometime leading man, or an Academy award winner. Suffice it to say he's packed a lot into his 200+ screen credits and he didn't even get started until his late 30s! He joins Josh to talk about his return to TV with THE WESTIES, his iconic roles in SPIDER-MAN, the DCU, JUNO, WHIPLASH, and so much more. SUPPORT THE SHOW BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!
