Hello you and welcome to You Are Good, a feelings podcast about movies. Happy new year.

I'm one of your host Alex Steed. I'll soon be joined by my tremendous co-host Sarah

Marshall. I should let you know though this is not a proper episode of You Are Good. Our

first episode of the year will be out next week. It will be about newsies. We're taking

the week off. We're kind of getting it together in order for us to be able to jump whole

heartedly into the year. But again, next week you get newsies. You get it with repeat

guest clairecombs.gay. Madame Clairvoyant, if you will. And you are in for a tremendous

time. But our fabulous friends at American hysteria said, you know, you deserve the week

off. You're mere mortals. Why don't you run this in your feed? We ask. We really can

run this in the feed. And Chelsea said yes. And we are grateful to Chelsea for that.

You obviously listen to American hysteria, don't you? If you don't, it's high time you

start. This is what a conversation on American hysteria can sound like. It can sound like

this. It can sound like a pontification about UFOs. It can sound like why personal branding

ever became a thing. And how that has to do with American capitalism and in clowns and

all sorts of different subjects are right up Chelsea's alley. And so if you're not listening

to American hysteria, you absolutely should. But we were on the show last month and we

talked with Chelsea Weber Smith again of American hysteria about the intersection of horror

movies and hallmark movies. And one of the great things about doing so is we got to talk about

one of the best horror movies ever made, which is of course, Hello Mary Lou from Night 2. We

talked about hallmark, we talked about queerness, we talked about reading all of these things

with the critical lens, we talked about how everything has a subtext whether or not

it wants it. This was a tremendous conversation. And so if you've heard it already, I'm sorry
