Hello you are good of feelings podcast about movies. Happy New Year. Today we are talking about mermaids, we're talking about it with our great friend Claire Comstock Gay, I am one of your hosts Alex Steed. I will soon be joined by my marvelous co-host Sarah

Marshall.

You are Good, Feeling's Podcasts About Movies is a show where we watch a movie with a friend,

almost always with a friend, but sometimes it's just Sarah and me,

but we watch a movie.

And we are not movie critics.

We are people who watch the movie,

and we unpack the ways that it makes us feel and relate to the world.

That's what we're doing here.

So please join us in that journey as we talk about mermaids.

I'm pretty sure that mermaids at this point is our most

requested movie of all the movies that we have not yet covered. It is a

1990 American Family Comedy Drama Film directed by Richard Benjamin and

starring Shearer Bob Hoskins, Winona Ryder, Michael Schofling, and Christina Ricci

in her film debut. It is based on Patty Dan's 1986 novel of the same name.

It's set in the early 1960s.

Its plot follows a neurotic teenage girl who moves

with her wayward mother and young sister to a small town in Massachusetts.

Claire Comstock Gay has been on the show many times. She has written horoscopes under the name

Madam Clairevoyant since 2012. She is the author of a really fantastic astrology book called

Madam Clairvoyant's Guide to the Stars.

I love this book.
