Fantastic explorations!!!

Sarah and Alex are your incredible guides through thoughtful discussions of a wide range of films and their emotional experiences and impact. Whether it’s a film I know and love, or something I’ve never watched (which then prompts me to do immediately following my listen!!!!!) its always a treat. As IF it couldn’t get better, a handful of guests sometimes join the conversations, and the result is always moving and heartfelt.

Makes Me Revisit Movies

I appreciate the cohosts and guest hosts who make me reconsider movies I take for granted.

Give Yourself a Treat

This is an intelligent, emotionally positive show with hosts who have an easy chemistry. The dialogue is thoughtful and I always come away with insights. My only suggestion is roll dial-back the bass levels on Alex’s voice. He has a big, lovely voice that can sometimes get lost in the boom of the bass.

It’s like the scene in that movie when…

I love movies, and I love the fact that movies have often given me the language I needed in my life to express & talk about my feelings (“It’s like that scene in that movie when…”). This podcast is based on that premise—i.e., that movies give us ways to experience & talk about our feelings—which, along with the show’s hosts, is what sets it apart from the roughly 17.5 million other podcasts about movies. Even if you haven’t seen the movie they’re covering, it’s great to hear Sarah & Alex talk about the movie & the feelings without judgment or shame.

And it’s great to hear Carolyn’s music along the way. 🎥🖤

Great pod, poor audio

Love the podcast! But difficult to literally hear Sarah.

Great show, way too much intro

I love this show. LOVE Sarah. Love the guests and the conversations. The only thing is that a very large portion of each episode is spent at the beginning introducing the show, introducing the movie (which will be done again later), introducing the guest (which will be done again later), and summarizing what they’ll talk about. I wish they got right to the action faster, because the action is excellent

medicinal movie podcasting

there’s something about this show that feels like those late nights at a friend’s house when people keep saying they need to go home but no one does because the vibes and the conversation are just magic. this one’s for the sensitive kids and really anyone who could use a good hearty laugh about some heavy stuff. i love these two.

Comforting

Absolutely love this podcast. It makes my work commute, chores, walks, etc bearable. It’s like listening to your super supportive, extremely witty, found-family friends talk about their favorite movies. I’ve never considered myself a big movie person, but all of their content is so relatable— even the episodes discussing films I’ve never seen! Highly recommend.

Who’s the Daddy?

Great analysis and commentary by Alex and Sarah. Would recommend to any movie lover and anyone interested in exploring their feelings.

My weekly dose of nerdy unabashed love

I’m proud to say I’ve been listening from the beginning. Because of Sarah and Alex, I’ve discovered new cinematic treasures and revisited ones I’ve already seen with new perspectives. The sensitivity and respect exchanged between hosts and their guests is palpable—no snickering or snootiness to be had here. Parasocial relationships are problematic and yada yada yada, but it is a joy to have these thoughtful, movie-loving folks in my life. Give it a try!

Getting Wrapped Up In Your Feelings

I feel like I’m sitting around with friends in college in a smoke-filled coffeeshop (I went to college in the 90s) and just doing what we do best… Talking about movies, feelings, and daddy issues. Thank you for being a friend!

If you love film AND feelings, check it out!

I’m consistently impressed by the quality of this show - from the conversations, to the film selections and of course the music/mixing by Carolyn! Sarah and Alex + guests have made me both laugh and cry (sometimes during the same episode) but in a great way, I promise! Each episode is a treat regardless of whether I’ve seen the film zero times or dozens of times. Thanks for keeping me company on multiple commutes!

Listen to this when recovering from a hard cry

I love that this is categorized as a mental health podcast, because Sarah and Alex’s relationship oozes a sweetness that feels like a spoonful of sugar down my salty gullet. I hope I can one day suss out what is this attachment I feel to certain podcasts that feels a bit like love, but for now just listen. They rock.

That’s Hot.

I really enjoy the dynamics of this show. Would love to hear about your take on my childhood favorites - Jumanji and Matilda.

Absolutely wonderful time

Alex Steed and Sarah Marshall (i hope i spelled your names correctly). Such a relaxing and hilarious time, you are both the daddies of this podcast!!! (if you ever get a chance could you do Interstellar?)

Marvelous

I can no longer watch movies without wondering what insightful and intentional things Sarah might have to say. Wonderful format (ok sometimes the intros get a little long but I always stick around anyway) and fantastic hosts. Movie requests: Uptown Girls and Basic Instinct 🤓

This podcast is a warm hug

I love the subject matter, the hosts, the guest hosts and basically everything about this particular podcast. They cover all sorts of topics within the frame of each film they choose and I cannot get enough. My fave eps so far are “Heavyweights”, “Beauty and the beast” and of course “Little Shop of Horrors.” Can you tell I’m also a Howard Ashman fan? I know it’s early days, but I’m hoping they do an episode about the new movie Encanto coming out thanksgiving because it’s going to be a Lin Manuel Miranda Howard Ashman fever dream. I understand Lin was heeaaaavily influenced by Howard and there going to be all sorts of callbacks to the wonderful Mr. Ashman, I sure in it. Mix a little Disney adult, Mr. Miranda and Howard Ashman stans and you get Encanto (hopefully.) Anyway, keep making great content because I’ll be here consuming it!
