The Filmography & Podcast Desk
A 312-entry filmography database — including 38 unreleased projects, cameos, and music-video appearances the major databases don't carry — paired with the 312-episode She & Him podcast archive, fully transcribed and source-cited since 2016.
Both collections are curated by our senior editors and the volunteer moderation council, indexed in the same research room, and refreshed every Friday.
EST. MARCH 2010 · PORTLAND, OR · VOL. XIV
Two coordinated collections
Every filmography entry cross-references a podcast episode, and every podcast episode cites a filmography entry. Visitors browse both — the page is built for that rhythm.
Hand-curated by 3 senior editors across 14 years. Each of the 312 entries is source-cited, dated, and tagged with co-stars, directors, distributors, and press clippings where available. The collection includes 38 unreleased or unconfirmed projects the major databases have never listed — found in trade papers, festival catalogues, and on-set photographer contact sheets.
A weekly companion show tracing her discography, side-projects, and the wider indie-folk scene she shaped with M. Ward. Every episode ships with full show notes, a sourced transcript, and a curated playlist. The "She & Him Sunday" listening club delivers each new episode to 41,000 newsletter subscribers with an independently verified 8.3% click-through rate.
The database, in depth
Our filmography is curated by senior editors, source-cited from trade papers, festival catalogues, and on-set photographer contact sheets, and includes projects the major databases have never listed.
47 feature films and 62 television appearances — from Almost Famous (2000) to the latest guest arc — each tagged with co-stars, directors, distributors, and verbatim press clippings. Every entry links to its primary source.
19 voice and animation credits plus 146 music-video and cameo appearances, including The Simpsons, BoJack Horseman, We Bare Bears, and a dozen She & Him videos directed by indie auteurs. Captions and source links on every entry.
The collection's signature: 38 projects that never made it to IMDb — shelved screenplays, festival short films, cameo walk-ons, music-video outtakes, and workshop footage recovered from photographer contact sheets. Each carries a sourcing note and, where possible, a still.
Every entry links out to relevant moments from our 47 verified interviews — including conversations with Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and M. Ward — so the database reads as a working research file, not a flat list.
The podcast, in depth
A weekly critical companion to the filmography — hosted by four rotating contributors, moderated by the volunteer council, and shipped every Sunday to the listening club.
EP. 001 → EP. 312
The podcast launched in 2016 with a single hour-long pilot on Volume One and has run uninterrupted since. Every Sunday at 9 a.m. Pacific, the four-host rotation ships a new episode — full show notes, a 1,800-word average, a verbatim transcript, and a curated playlist of the records discussed.
SUNDAY · 9 AM PT
Each new episode is mailed to 41,000 newsletter subscribers under the She & Him Sunday banner, with an independently verified 8.3% click-through rate against Mailchimp's entertainment-media benchmark. Members discuss the episode in the forum thread pinned to the front page every Monday.
4 HOSTS · 14 MODERATORS
Four rotating hosts anchor the show across a 14-person volunteer moderation council — the same team that runs the forum's She & Him sub-board. Episodes are recorded in the Portland research room and released the following Sunday, with show notes drafted by the host and reviewed by a senior editor.
From the research room
"A filmography is not a list. A podcast archive is not a feed. Together they are a living timeline — and the community is the one keeping it alive."
