Summary
Come with us, o captain, my captain, as we roll around in a pile of autumnal Dead Poets Society feels with Emily Edwards of Fuckbois of Literature.
You can find Emily on Twitter here.
We made a playlist to accompany this episode! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie.
You Are Good is a show in which Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens.
You can find us on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon.
You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.
Fresh Lesh produces the beats for our episodes.
Abigail Swartz of Gray Day Studio designed our logo!

| 1:41.5 | about this splendid movie? First of all, I can't believe that this is |
| 1:45.7 | the first time we've done a Robin Williams movie. We were a podcast about dads for a very long time |
| 1:50.7 | called Why Are Dads? And now we're a podcast more broadly about feelings. And I can't imagine a person |
