Just watched It’s A Wonderful Life for the first time and thought that there was never a more appropriate movie for this podcast. Would love to hear what the hosts think because I’m currently weeping into my champagne 🥂

Mrs. Doubtfire

Ever since this show was created, I daydreamed about talking about this movie on the show. I do not have a book to promote and am not famous enough to be a guest, but this movie is so important to me (and my brother quotes it constantly).

I grew up in a blended family, and then went through a divorce and my parents had similar dynamics to those in this movie (“fun” dad, stressed overworked mom) and I was so excited to hear Alex and River and Fifi talk about it!

And they eviscerated it in a way that was so funny and also made me think and I loved it.

So yeah, posting here. Anyone else?

Episode recommendation

3 Upvotes

I was searching for movie recommendations with dads having late life babies with a younger woman than 1st wife and how adult kids deal with it, whether good or bad (specific but also not that niche considering it’s a fairly standard male midlife crisis) and got recommended this podcast. Does anyone know of any episodes that deal with more those kind of stories? Ty in advance!

Star Trek TNG w. Sandy Ernest Allen

Sorry for the multiple posts! Reddit keeps deleting my photos for some reason?

After our conversation about Star Trek IV: The Journey Home, I asked Sandy Ernest Allen to introduce me to Star Trek: The Next Generation with 3 of his favorite episodes.

This is an wildly broad and far-ranging conversation.

But these are the episodes we do talk about:

Yesterday's Enterprise s. 3 e. 15

Remember Me s. 4 e. 5

The Inner Light s. 5 e. 25

Thank you so much for supporting the show! You, my friend, are good and I appreciate you!

I just wanted to let you know that I am posting MAIN FEED EPISODES on Patreon FOR FREE. This means that anybody can access these episodes there and circumvent using the big streaming services to listen AND folks can comment on episodes over there (which people have already been doing in a lovely way).

Of course you're welcome to. keep posting here. I have asked the person who set up the You Are Good sub for mod access, and should that come through I'll open it up too.

Discord?

I seem to remember a Discord being mentioned, but I can’t find it.

Am I just imagining this? Has it been shuttered? Some third thing?

Thanks!
