Listener Reviews

Just here, pleasing the medieval god

I love this show

I listen to the intros

I love my “fake friends” Alex & Sarah!🧡

Long time fan, first time reviewer. Sarah and Alex are simply the best there ever was. So smart, hilarious, insightful, caring, self aware but not self congratulatory. All the good things humans can be. Xoxo, 1 of the 12 people who listen (and love) Alex’s Intros

Sarah, Alex, Carolyn, and Miranda have created such a gentle, kind space with this podcast. I always come out the other side of each episode feeling better than when I went in. Truly my comfort media

More people like you and your guests with podcasts like this. But you are singular and special. And that’s how the world works. You are my 1%.

Alex Steed and Sarah Marshall make me think that maybe we will in fact be ok

I love this show. For its content and context, but mostly bc Sarah and Alex are such good company. I always feel like I’m in conversation with them and their guests. I love when they talk about my fave movies and I get to feel so seen and connected around how those movies made/make me feel! And I love when they watch scary stuff I won’t and then safely explain it to me so that I don’t have to actually see it but don’t miss out on all the thoughts and feels and cultural references/impacts! Love yall. You ARE GOOD!

I listen to each episode with such pleasure. It’s a cure for anytime I’m feeling down or lonely.

One of the best movie centric podcasts in existence. Discussion of feelings while also providing fantastic depth to discussion leaves listeners hungry for more. The absolute best guest hosts too

My only complaint is that I’ve now gone through all the episodes of movies I’ve seen! This show is so comforting while also holding your attention.

I’m an English teacher and listening to this helps me reconnect with the reason I do my job at the end of the day. (Which is: stories help us live our lives and connect with others!) thanks for this refreshing positive energy, good thinking, and warmth

My comfort podcast. You guys are doing a great work! You are good.

There is no better way to start your day than hearing Alex Steed telling you “you, my friend, are good.” Every episode is a different emotional journey, with lovely guides in the hosts and guests.

I’ve always loved this show. I love laughing and occasionally crying with each of you and your guests. That’s why is such a huge relief to hear you start recent episodes by calling for a ceasefire and raising awareness of organizations like Jewish Voices for Peace. It’s been heartbreaking realizing how many of my beloved creators don’t seem to care about the genocide of Palestinians. 🍉

When you sit down with friends to talk about media that you both love, the conversation will almost always go off topic and touch on life experiences, memories (good and bad), and the (sometimes dark) sense of humor that we use with friends and family. That’s what You Are Good is like. Every episode is little joining a conversation with friends you’ve known since childhood. Even when the topic du jour is a movie that doesn’t speak to me, I still enjoy the conversation. When it IS a movie I know and love, the episode is a chock full of times when I wish I could yell back “ME TOO!” when Sarah, Alex,

I just love you guys so much. So so much. Listening feels like home.

I love this podcast. The more episodes I listen to, and the older I get (the same age as Alex), the more I realize how atomized I am from my friends and family, and how I’m getting crushed by the culture I live in. It’s like a therapy session for me. I can’t count how many times I’ve felt the tears well up when Sarah and Alex share their feelings and stories about the movies, and life in general. I think about the relationship that I have between myself and my only son, and how hard I have to work to be there for him. I loved the Holes episode. I love The Shining episode, and all the Stephen King centered episodes generally. I feel more human and see the work that I still need to do, and I’m reminded that I am good. Thank you.

He laughs every five seconds, usually at his own jokes.

Always love to hear Alex say “you are good”

Sarah Marshall talking about Newsies is my emotional support animal. Thank you for existing.
