  • 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!

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Deliverance w. Carolyn Kendrick and Tristan Scroggins
Q: Carolyn, why did you recommend Deliverance?
Kendrick had not seen the film before but wanted to examine the Southern and bluegrass stereotypes it helped popularize, including the way people use its imagery as cultural shorthand.
Jeepers Creepers w. Alaina Bamfield
Q: What is your genre of horror? Is it supernatural that you tend to go to?
Bamfield tends to choose supernatural horror because the possibility of monsters feels less immediate than realistic human cruelty. She says possession is one of her greatest fears.
Jeepers Creepers w. Alaina Bamfield
Q: Were you aware of what was happening there when it became broadly aware of what his deal was, or was everyone, what was your system of realization?
Bamfield says she initially learned about Nassar's abuse alongside everyone else when the news broke. Looking back, she recognized that she had sensed something was wrong, but a friend had reassured her that the treatment was normal. She did not consciously understand the abuse as wrong until she was around 19.
Annie [1982] w. Dani Janae and Kristen Martin
Q: Who do you see as the 'daddy' of the movie Annie, and why?
Dani and Kristen discuss Warbucks as the obvious answer while also considering Grace as a possible 'daddy' figure due to her instrumental role in shaping Annie's placement and Warbucks's eventual softening, highlighting the power dynamics behind the adoption arc.
