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

Today, one of our two conversations about Lady Bird that are coming out on the very same day.

This conversation is with Carolyn Kendrick.

Our other conversation is with Mara Wilson.

We talk all about why Lady Bird is one of Carolyn's favorites,

why it resonates with her as someone who is from California's Central Valley,

how much of it speaks to her biography and background.

We also start the conversation.

And for those of you who have been listening to the show for a while, you know that Carolyn is

our founding producer. And we are married, though that is changing. So on top of all these other

ladybird specific things, we're going to talk a bit about all that and discuss what's going on in our lives.

It's a big, sweet moving, as far as I am concerned, conversation.

And I hope that you'll listen to it.

Like, even if you are not familiar with any of that context, I think that there's a lot in there that will resonate. And then we get into Lady Bird. You Are Good at Feelings Podcasts about movies is exactly what it sounds like. We talk about our feelings by way of talking about movies. We say, how does this make us think about who and how we are in the world? We are not film critics. We are here talking about feelings.

That's what we're doing here.

Lady Bird is a 2017 American coming of age comedy drama film written and directed by Greta Gerwig.

In her solo directorial debut, it's set in Sacramento, California during the early 2000s.

And it focuses on a high school senior who has a

turbulent relationship with her mother. Carolyn Kendrick is a musician, an artist, a entertainer,

a writer. She's working soon on launching a podcast called Don't Call Me Darling. She does it all.

Carolyn Kendrick is the very best. Whatever you're

doing, however you're engaging the world, however you're pushing back against this madness,
