The current issue of BULLETT, featuring cover stars Daniel Radcliffe and Juliette Lewis, is jam-packed with OC friends, including Tavi, Gia, James Franco, Scott Campbell, Alexa Chung, Josh Hartnett, and Girls. Editors Nick and Juliet gave Pardis and me a tour of their office, plus a behind-the-scenes look at the new issue.
Juliet LeGrand Thompson: Plus James Van Der Beek and Melissa Joan Hart! My eighth-grade self is pretty excited about the issue. In the future I'd love to do something with Honey Boo Boo Child!
SR: I love the editorial where Juliette Lewis fans out on Daniel Radcliffe. As a teen, who were your celebrity crushes?
NH: I used to have it bad for Christina Ricci and confessed the whole thing to her a couple of years ago. Since she moved to New York, we've become great friends, which is good because it could have ended in a restraining order just as easily. Oh, and I once told Patricia Clarkson something crazy like, "I feel like your eyes are sharing secrets that only I could ever understand."
JLGT: I had this amazing Betsey Johnson cropped sweater that I wore everyday with some vintage Boy Scout shorts and purple Doc Martens, until one of my teachers took me aside and told me that I should change more often. That outfit got me through so many awesome moments, like my first concert—where L7 played topless!
SR: Your website hosts a nice mix of media that includes editorials, contributing journals, and a TV section. How do you find a balance between the printed magazine and the site?
NH: At BULLETT, we realize that old media and new media are symbiotic, and even though digital platforms offer great features, there's still nothing quite like cracking open a new magazine on a Sunday afternoon. Plus we've added a sticker page, paper dolls, and different paper stocks to our new issue! We put together some amazing video exclusives, short films, and photo galleries on
Sean Risley: The latest issue, titled "Obsessed," surveys TV and films stars from the 90s and 2000s. Are there any celeb favorites you weren't able to include?
Nick Haramis: I spent the better part of three months trying to convince Macaulay Culkin to participate in the "Five Films" feature, where we asked actors and directors for behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their most iconic films. In the end, he'd only do it if we paid him. But I was able to track down Thora Birch, Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse), Natasha Lyonne, Anna Chlumsky (My Girl), and Rider Strong (Boy Meets World).Juliet LeGrand Thompson: Plus James Van Der Beek and Melissa Joan Hart!
