Comforting Podcast

I really enjoy this podcast. Sarah is so insightful and I love her intellectual takes on movies and how well she correlates them to the events in history that were taking place before or at the time they were made. I also have an English degree and I wish that I could think about art on her level. Sarah and Alex are an endearing combination for a podcast about movies and feelings. Every episode makes me feel good and makes me think from a new perspective. Sarah speaks so eloquently and her thoughts are so deep. Thanks for your all of your work.

A wonderful hug of a show

I love Sarah and Alex and their cadre of amazing guests. They’ve introduced incredible movies to me, and I love hearing their interpretations of the films I’ve seen. ❤️

The absolute best. Truly.

I look forward to this podcast every week. I love movies and feelings and this nails it. The hosts are so wonderful and I always end up nodding along, laughing and sometimes even tearing up. A gigantic thank you to Sarah and Alex for this warm hug every week. Also! It’s named after my favorite line in my favorite movie that I have often in my life tried to hold close in my mind. YOU ARE GOOD! ❤️

A gem

You Are Good has been a really bright spot for me over the last couple of years. I have been able to revisit so much of the media I was drawn to as a kid and teen but felt some shame about (hello Saw). I believe there’s something for everyone in this show, and the conversations are always warm, funny, and thoughtful.

Perennial Favorite

I just love listening to Sarah and Alex discuss movies. They have such a beautiful and emotionally resident way of discussing movies that I’ll never get tired of. Personal favorite episodes include Julie and Julia, the parent trap, and legally blonde.

This podcast is good

I have listened to a ton of movie review podcasts. Each seems to try and find their own voice and niche. None, though, have ever caused me to reassess the reason I love the movies I love on an emotional level. I love that they have guests that get to talk about why they love the movies they do. It causes me to really see the art form of cinema from a different perspective.

Really enjoy these conversations even when I haven’t seen the movies they are discussing. Always a new perspective offered.

After listening. Hosts are the best. Guests are the best. Even if I never saw the movie I fully enjoy the recap and commentary. Love you guys.

You are good eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Good show-love this movie! Your discussion of neurodivergent brains reminded me of a movie from 1965 that I saw when I was 13. It’s called “The Fool Killer” and stars Anthony Perkins as a philosophical axe murderer who befriends a runaway boy. For some reason this strange film had a profound affect on me, and I saw it as many times as I could given that you had to actually go to a theater and buy a ticket every time you wanted to see a movie. I was obsessed with it and now it’s almost completely disappeared. The only place I could find it was on YouTube. Even Movie Madness in Portland doesn’t have it and they have EVERYTHING!

Intelligent, sweet, soothing

I always get excited when a new episode comes out. The content is funny and charming. I like that there aren’t loud, interruptive ads. I subscribe to their Patreon as well, and recommend it. I haven’t seen all the movies they discuss, and you don’t need to. It’s a fun ride either way.

This show has it all. Feelings. Movies. Dads. Honestly can’t imagine anyone having a bad time listening to it.

Lots of love for this pod

Y’all are the best podcast hosts ever. The dynamic of you both and the fact that you seem to show up honestly, thoughtfully and kindly every episode is incredible and just feels like a much needed warm hug to listeners, no matter the lightheartedness or difficulty of the subject at hand. Thanks for doing what you do 💙

No, YOU are good!

I’m another devoted Sarah Marshall fan who listened, because of course, and immediately became a devoted Alex Steed fan as well. It doesn’t matter if I’ve seen the movie or not, I love the discussion regardless. The hosts and guests are kind, thoughtful, entertaining film enthusiasts who are a delight to listen to. I absolutely can’t imagine another group of people who could entice me willingly into Saw, and the Sawniverse, with such compassionate takes. I’m giving you five stars because, “YOU, my friends, are good!”

I’m not even super into movies and I LOVE this pod

I started listening because I love Sarah Marshall. I wondered if I’d be able to love Alex Steed as much as Sarah’s other cohost or if I’d resonate with a movie podcast when I’m not a self proclaimed movie buff. Well turns out Alex is a freaking treasure and when he says “you are good” it’s like a balm to my soul. I love the themes that are explored and the movie choices are stellar (please keep doing horror movies!!!). Sarah and Alex, YOU are the daddies! Thank you for this warm hug of a podcast.

Feels like a hug

It’s a hug from your cool friends who live out of state, somewhere with mountains or something. They’re back in town for that unknowable period between Christmas and New Years in which time both expands and contracts. As you wrap your arms around them, your hands brush against the silky billows of their puffy jacket. Their face is emanating cold against your cheek and they smell chilly in the best way. You hug them and you know that you’ll get what you need in this interaction, you could always do with more but this will be enough. You can hear your other friends around you, you’re safe and happy and you’re going to have funny conversations that don’t matter but still mean the world to you.

Interesting, fun, and a safe space for talking about mental health

Love this pod and all things Sarah Marshall! I appreciate their open discussion about mental health and how movies can bring up a lot of feelings. The conversations are both intellectual and easy to listen to. ♥️

How are you?

I’m channeling Alex Steed with that title. 🙂 I really enjoy the discussions on all the movies…even the ones I haven’t watched! I’m often saying to my husband, “…that movie podcast I listen to, well they were talking about…” The guests are great but the hosts are where it’s at. I arrived here from “You’re Wrong About” (also great) and I’m so glad I took the trip.
