Summary
If nary a goose is seen, the development shall beguine! In which we grieve by literally becoming Mother Goose. We get into the marshy weeds of Fly Away Home with the tremendous Ilana Masad.
You can find Ilana on Twitter here. You can find Ilana's writing, and Ilana's novel All My Mother's Lovers, 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 hosts 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.
