  • Expect a myriad of absolutely amazing people kindly sharing their personal history and connection with a particular movie. You may cry, mostly laugh, but you will never leave without a new perspective on life. Binged multiple times!

  • You Are Good (a feelings podcast about movies) is a vital lifeline for those of us who have trouble finding soft and thoughtful people to talk to in day to day life. I've been a proud Patreon supporter for years now. Support nice people who make good art!

  • It was good when Sarah and Mike were on. It would be better if Alex limited his reviews to movies he likes. I love both Fight Club and Ghost World. Alex takes are prissy, shallow, and one-note. He argues that Fight Club isn't anti-capitalist when it is. I don't know what his problem is with Ghost World. I don't actually care.

    My advice is to stick to the Mike and Sarah episodes. They are great!

  • Obsession w/Ryan Ken

    The recent episode with Ryan was so good! It added a lot to my understanding of the movie and made me like it even more. Ryan is the best, so him and Alex together was a treat!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hunger Games (2012) w. Jacqueline Steiger
Q: How do you maintain hope?
Steiger says she finds hope through activism and organizing, meaningful work, optimism shaped by her experience with disability and health challenges, and imagining futures that are not yet visible.
The Hunger Games (2012) w. Jacqueline Steiger
Q: What do you think it is that stood out to you and continues to stand out to you?
Steiger says the film's portrayal of reality television, propaganda, branding and the transformation of people into public images is what resonated with her.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) w. Mariana Colín
Q: Why did you recommend The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
Colín calls it one of her favorite films and says it established so many horror and slasher conventions that later movies quickly repeated and commodified them.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) w. Mariana Colín
Q: Are monster and villain always the same? And what makes them distinct?
Colín says monsters and villains are not the same: a monster is defined by the judgment of others, while a villain is morally bad within the narrative. Monsters can be tragic, as she argues Carrie is in the original film.
Deliverance w. Carolyn Kendrick and Tristan Scroggins
Q: What do you guys think of the title Deliverance in general?
The group suggests the title refers both to escape from the physical danger and to the characters' unresolved spiritual and emotional consequences.
