This week, S.E. sits down with actor and screenwriter Johnathon Schaech! S.E. digs into the transcendent appeal of his 1996 comedy/musical That Thing You Do and Johnathon's misrepresented character, James. They talk about the movie's ever-growing fan base, his musical talents, and his friendship with Tom Hanks. S.E. and Johnathon also go back to his childhood, his early roles, and the moments — and people — that changed the course of his life. Johnathon bravely shares with S.E. his personal nightmare — his own MeToo moment — how that trauma has impacted him, and how he works to move beyond it. Johnathon and S.E. talk about the importance of speaking out and why they both chose to do so. Before closing out the conversation, S.E. quizzes Johnathon about “Leather Coat Guy” (IYKYK)!

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.
