Juju ‘Straw Hat Goofy’ Green Talks New ‘Get Rec’d’ Podcast and His Movie Convention Dreams
variety.comKatcy Stephan Juju Green, best known to the internet as Straw Hat Goofy, is no stranger to talking about movies all day, every day.
In fact, it’s his energetic commentary on films of all genres that has endeared him to his 3.5 million followers on TikTok and made him a staple at industry events like premieres and festivals.
Now, he’s hoping to capitalize on that popularity with a new podcast, “Get Rec’d.” In the series launching Saturday, Green will chat with celebrities and film fans about both the movies they’ve made and the movies that made them.
Scheduled guests include “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler, Daniel Kaluuya and Kane Robinson of “The Kitchen,” “Phineas and Ferb” co-creator Dan Povenmire, “Hercules” actor Susan Egan, Disney animator Eric Goldberg, “Argylle” director Matthew Vaughn, “Oppenheimer” actor David Dastmalchian and Ben Kingsley Adair of “Bob Marley: One Love.” Green sat down with Variety to talk about how Coogler inspired him to create the podcast and how he’s hoping to craft a new path in the film industry.
