THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Jacquelyn Frohlich the Director of Wayward

"Wayward is my favorite film of 2025" - Jeremiah

"Sometime getting lost is the only way out"

My special guest today is director Jacquelyn Frohlich. Her new film, "Wayward,” follows eleven-year-old Cleo, who becomes enchanted by the charismatic female hitchhiker her mother picks up as they drive to their new home in Los Angeles. When Cleo and the hitchhiker form an unlikely bond, the line between kidnapping and running away becomes dangerously blurred.
