Listener Reviews

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!

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::

Please. You must.

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

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

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

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!

please do an episode on 📈W A L L S T R E E T📈

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.

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

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.

Helping to unpack all my father trauma one movie at a time.

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 ❤️❤️

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. 😽

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.
