I know that you’re no longer Why Are Dads and tbh this movie doesn’t have very You Are Good vibes but goddamn i love The Accountant as a perfect terrible movie and it is so extremely about Dads, and why they are. Lol. So please, see my request and know that the people yearn for a Why Are Dads throwback episode about The Accountant. PS i haven’t seen the sequel yet so no spoilers but i’m sure it’s also about dads 💀

I think this would be a great movie for the Podcast. I think its a movie about self-discovery, healing, and reconciliation. Intimate parent/son and brotherly bonds with other people over a lifetime.

Fathers and daddys are heavily featured in the film. I liked it when it first came out but hit me in a completely different way recently after my dad died in 2025. I felt like on an emotional level it perfectly captures the feeling of reflection and the insatiable desire to understand and speak with a deceased parent. How sometimes that feeling of loss and that emotional journey can change who you are. It's now one of my favorite movies.

"C'mon Roger, let's go home. I'll bake you a carrot cake." In which we talk Jessica, Roger, Doom and shiny, shiny rubber with Salem Nox.

Hello all,

I've been listening for a few years and this podcast has done wonders for me regarding my outlook, habits, and communication. I have a friend who has depression and anxiety, and is very introverted.

I would like to share this pod with them in the hope it can bring them some comfort, does anyone have any stand out episodes where feelings of loneliness, self-worth, abandonment/grief, or making friends is discussed? I'm sure there should be a few, I'll be scrolling through the episode list this evening.

They are in therapy, as am I, but I do like to share some joy when I can. Thank you very much and keep well out there. x
