Funny and deep conversations about your favorite movies from growing up
The hosts are funny and insightful. It feels like you’re sharing a joint and talking about your favorite movies with your smartest friends. This show has honestly helped me grapple with my own younger self and how movies may have shaped my psyche. Anyway, just listen. Start with an episode about a movie you love, and go from there.

Love the show!
The show is great! Funny and deep commentary on some great movies. PLEASE do Brokeback Mountain!!

Clever Podcast
Listened today for the first time and feel as though I may be up until 3 am on a Dad binge. I accept it. Insightful commentary about movies we don’t need to watch to grasp. Sarah Marshall is clever and well informed. Love the conversation.

Hosts 10/10
The hosts are great, the guests are hit or very miss...

A fun escape
When I need a break from the many, many news podcasts I subscribe to, this is one of my new favorites (also Seek Treatment, Raised Wrong, and 90 Day Gays). Love both hosts, the music, and the guests are top-notch. Whether I’ve seen the movie or not, I always have a good time!

“You got any better suggestions?!”
I came by way of You’re Wrong About and am so glad I did. If for no other reason (lots of reasons) than now I have finally seen Jaws and it is ::chef’s kiss::

Jurassic Park
Please. You must.

Pretty Woman
I think Pretty Woman is definitely worthy of this show!!

Love this podcast
Would love a multi episode series on “The Sopranos”!

Call them Daddy
Personally, I love to hear these Daddies talk about dads.

Fascinating Stuff
As someone who does not have a dad for completely boring, undramatic, and not-traumatic reasons, I have always been kind of fascinated by fathers as cultural institution. Not until this show have I encountered others who take the same kind of anthropological-study approach to daddliness as I have for my entire life. Though I haven’t seen a lot of the media that gets discussed on this show, it remains endlessly interesting to hear about fictional portrayals of the paternal archetypes I have encountered over the years. Can’t wait for more!

What a treat!
I’m a big fan of You’re Wrong About and this podcast is just as entertaining. Alex Steed is a delight! I am so thankful for all of the Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes content (also recommend Maintenance Phase with Aubrey Gordon). All of these hosts truly brighten my day with their empathy and humor.

Love!!!
This podcast is so good!! makes me soooo happy!

Podcast Comfort Food
As a former English major who loves deep dives into film and pop culture-adjacent subjects and also FEELING ALL THE FEELINGS this show is essentially a wet dream. Sarah & Alex have a rapport that is simply a delight to listen to and between the two of them and the musical accompaniment of Carolyn Kendrick, it’s just a very soothing and comforting auditory experience. Their conversations are always insightful AF and just as enjoyable even if you’ve never seen the movie they’re discussing (although you’ll probably want to see it once the episode is over). I’m honestly not sure if I ever would have listened to this without discovering it through You’re Wrong About but I’m so grateful I did because it’s one of the best podcasts I never knew I needed. Who’s the Daddy? Easy - it’s @whyaredads.

Why are dads though ?
Helping to unpack all my father trauma one movie at a time.

Sarah and Alex helped me cope with trauma
I have a difficult relationship with my Dad right now and this podcast helped a lot, thanks so much you guys you are loved and appreciated more than you know ❤️❤️

Incredible
A truly amazing podcast- perfect for anyone who enjoys media analysis and discussions about gender. For your consideration: take a look at The West Wing, particularly “Ellie,” an episode that regularly makes me feel lots of Dad-related feelings. President Bartlet is my high-key problematic-fave TV-Dad and y’all are one of the few shows that I’d trust to talk about him. Thank you for all of your time and energy producing and facilitating incredible conversations each week.

What’s not to love?
I feel like I found people who consume media the same way I do, and I could listen to them talk about it for hours. Everything about this podcast is fantastic: smart and funny media commentary, amazing guests, and I’ve never walked away from an episode without a new list of movie or show recommendations.

The show I didn’t know I needed!
What a little gem of a show. Sarah and Alex have great chemistry, their genuine friendship really shines through alongside insightful commentary of some great movies. I also love the music!

Dads + Daddies
an insightful and empathetic weekly analysis of dads (and dads-adjacent) found within movies. really made me look at a handful of very familiar films in a new way. the hosts obviously are really fond of each other - the foundation of their long standing friendship as well as talking about their relationships with their own fathers really adds a lot to this podcast.

Why haven’t you listened yet?!
This is quite literally my favorite podcast. I love the movie choices and most of all the hosts. They have great guests too. I like they never shy away from exploring their own emotional attachments to “dad-dom” as well as just plain ole wearing their hearts on their sleeves. It’s not too heavy to make you feel it’s not enjoyable but it’s more or less the convos I wanna have with my friends real, raw, hilarious and not holding back. Thanks to both of you for this creation. 😽

Love these two gems
That’s really all. I’m so glad this podcast exists. It’s extremely cozy and generally feels like nice therapy session centered around some great films.

The Best
Sarah and The Guy (Alex 😁) and easily one of the best things that have happened over the last year. This podcast is full of empathy, joy, wit, and beautiful music. Thank you!!

Sarah Marshall Rocks
Love this pod and anything Sarah Marshall does. Unflinchingly honest and funny. Great company to spend time with

Ended up here via You’re Wrong About
Love everything about this. A side note, purely practical, I love it because I don’t have to guess who’s speaking at any given time. I like that.

Sound of music!
Love this and would follow Sarah to any corner of the internet. I want to second the reviewer who suggested sound of music. That is a dad stuff BONANZA.

Have you been fathered? Call 1-800-WHY-DADS
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with having a dad, you may be entitled to financial compensation, in the form of this wonderful podcast. Alex Steed and Sarah Marshall, two of the most delightful humans you'll ever find, analyze films through a dad lens. What does Kevin Costner teach his son about violence in The War? Why is Gene Wilder's Dr. Fronkensteen a better father than his ancestor, Dr. Frankenstein? Why was the dad in Dirty Dancing so disappointed when Baby got drilled by a member of the proletariat? Find the answers to these questions, a lot of laughs, and a new perspective on some of your favorite films in this absolute joy of a podcast.

I couldn’t love this podcast more
As an adult with a dad and other dad like figures in my life I am really in love with this podcast. Thank you for making it

❤️❤️❤️ LOVE ❤️❤️❤️
I adore this podcast! I subscribed episode 1!! In the last month I shockingly lost my dad who I was extremely close to. A movie that I tie closely to him and memories of him is “The Sound of Music” and I am hoping this is seen by one of the hosts and discussed for a topic. Keep up the great work y’all! Brooke
