  • It’s going to be ok

    In 1996 classic, Matilda starring Mara Wilson (friend of the pod!) we get the incredible line, ‘These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.’ The media we love shapes us and others in meaningful ways and changes how we see the world. Movies are important!

    Insightful, hopeful, hilarious, and earnest, You Are Good helps us process our reality through the lens of movies, both silly and serious. This is the table you want to sit at to banter about the movie you jus... more

  • So Good

    This is my favorite podcast, reliably fun, oftentimes silly, and always with depth in the discussion.

    Talking about “why we love movies” is such an easy platform for conversion anyone can relate and the heavier stuff becomes easier to digest as a result. It’s entertaining when you want it to be, and more when you want it to be.

    YAG has helped me to think about and process my own feelings, get better at talking about them by normalizing it, and taught me to talk about and create community.

Annie [1982] w. Dani Janae and Kristen Martin
Q: Who do you see as the 'daddy' of the movie Annie, and why?

UHF w. Josaleigh Pollett

Josaleigh suggests that Weird Al's appeal spans multiple communities, including subcultures like goth, and that his wide, inclusive appeal demonstrates his ability to resonate across demographics.
Thirteen w. Bree Essrig
Q: So tell me about your history with Thirteen.
Bree explains that she first saw it as a teen and later rewatched it with a critical eye, noting how the film's raw depiction of adolescence and addiction still feels intimate and uncomfortable, while admiring its verité style and the performances that bring its characters to life.
Hackers w. Ryan Keely
Q: Who in your view, and interpret this however you want, give whatever explanation, is the daddy of hackers?
Ryan argues that Razor and Blade serve as the 'daddy' of hackers, offering authentic, practical hacking tips early in the film and catalyzing the plot's rescue with their expertise, effectively framing the duo as mentors or guiding figures for the hacker community depicted.

Q: Before we get to why it checks out, tell me a bit about yourself. Like, who are you?
