One of my favorite pods. Alex and Sarah have such great chemistry, and they’re both so genuinely warm and funny. Listening to their show is like hanging out and talking movies with my delightfully quirky imaginary friends.
Feel good
Love this podcast, Sarah Marshall is fantastic and always makes me laugh. There’s a conversational quality that makes you feel like you’re just hanging with some friends discussing movies.
You are enjoying this already
You are laughing at a horror movie. You are listening to curated (and some created) music by the woman that makes this sound so great. You are enjoying talks about grief, even when you just watched a horror movie. You are learning about the AIDS crisis through HBO projects. You are enjoying life a little more, because this gang makes you see the good in it all.
Fantastic!
I love the balance that Alex and Sarah have between humor and real deep sensitivity - this podcast is one of my favorites!
Always dependably solidly terrific
Nice, funny, insightful people talking about movies. One of my faves. Always delivers, whether I’ve seen the film or not.
Just lovely
I wasn’t sure to what to expect from another podcast about movies, but this is just lovely. When they talk about movies I’ve seen and loved, it’s like chatting with friends. When they talk about movies I haven’t seen, it’s better than actually watching the movie itself! Love them both, great work.
Love the Podcast…
…And I’d follow Sarah Marshall anywhere 🥰 If you ever have merch please announce it ASAP. A mug or t-shirt of your pod art would sooth my soul 😌
Amazingly Uplifting
I love this podcast. The reverence they show each movie is truly amazing and gives me faith in the goodness of humanity. They analyze each story with a human lens, not purely technical and psychological (though they do touch on those). It’s so real, and really beautiful. PS: Sarah and Alex, please do Interstellar! It’s got a Dad, a Daddy, and so much more!
No, I’m not exaggerating.
This podcast saved my life during some of the most harrowing MH/su*cidal incidents of my life, got me through the worst of pandemic times, and always avails itself to me as a balm for the soul in an ever-increasingly hostile, insensitive world. That should be quite enough to recommend it. And to think, I was put off by the old title “Why Are Dads” and almost didn’t give it a chance.
Everything Sarah Marshall touches is gold
You’re Wrong About is great, this show is great, Alex is great, the guests are great, I wish I had better adjectives but I’m a mom who listens to this show before bed and I’m tired. Just listen with me, you won’t be disappointed.
Enough with the intros already please
They are just too long guys
There’s this thing that happens…
In life where I’m trying to explain something, and I pull words from You Are Good. And when I go to reference it I realize that this quote that feels as if it is from yesterday is actually from a year or more ago. Alex and Sarah’s ability to pull meaning (and maybe more importantly feelings) from the art that is movies is unparalleled.
Great listening
Love listening to Sarah chat with people, this podcast doesn’t disappoint, just like You’re Wrong About. She says the thoughts I didn’t know I had!
You are good
And so is this podcast.
Just What the Doctor Ordered
An incisive and sincere look at some of the most feelings-inducing films in history. Love every second of this.
You did it again
Sarah you did it again, your dry wit and pretense is so honest and warm and non malicious…I love you. Alex you are perfect…a beautiful mix of blue collar New England and coastal intelligencia-and yes I heard you put an R on the end of someone’s name in the Freddy episode
Ugh love it so much
I listen every week but also listen to certain older episodes (Jaws! the Sawniverse!) when I’m feeling anxious. Love Sarah and Alex, love the pod so much, please keep bringing Jemelle Bouie on
LOVE this show but…
I absolutely love this show and the hosts’ incisive take on beloved films. However, please acknowledge that Gen-X actually exists. Empire Records is not a xennial or whatever fictitious generation film. It’s a solid X film. I know it’s minor, but we’re already a vastly ignored generation, so some acknowledgement of our contributions would be awesome.
Love
Love this podcast. You guys should do My Girl (Howard Zieff).
The thing
All allegories for the experience of war, the most important test of men. As compared to childbirth for women. The German words for both are closely related. I would love to be able to add some thoughts to your episodes but being being broke can’t subscribe to Patron. I’m not a twitter user—I’m in grad school for the second time with a teenager and need to manage distractions—how can I add a few comments easily? You claim to invite them but I have found it very difficult????
Very fun
Perfect for older millennials that love movies. Please do The Legend of Billie Jean!
A delight
This show gives me the warm fuzzies. Even when I haven’t seen the movie, I look forward to a kind and insightful conversation each week. Thanks for your work!
i love this show
sweet, funny, and insightful - please do bend it like beckham next!
Sarah Marshall AND Ryan Ken???
I just started listening to this podcast. I love it, and I can’t wait to listen to Sarah Marshall and Ryan Ken together.
