Hello, Sarah Marshall. How are you doing?

Hello, Alexi. It's pretty good. It's Thanksgiving week, and I am eating a lot of instant mashed potatoes, so I'm ahead of the game.

Ooh, la la. Welcome, friends, to You Are Good, which is a feelings podcast about movies. Today, we're talking about what, Sarah?

We are talking about Raising Arizona, and if you want, I will yodel for you.

Yeah, please.

That's good. That's really good.

That wasn't exactly a yodel, but it was something very committed. Yeah, we are kind of talking about Raising Arizona.

And if you are tired of your own loud family this year and want to be part of a different loud family, we are it.

How would you describe the conversation that's about to take place, the vibe, how it might fit into one's Thanksgiving week?

We started strong by attempting to discuss the movie, and then much like the movie itself, we really wandered away from linear plot

into kind of the joy of a series of just kind of random high energy excursions, talking about life, and whether the Cohen brothers are depressed, and then what depression feels like.

But like very in a fun way.

Yeah, I think so. I think often we talk about life as like these little detours that happened throughout talking about the movie, as we say, you know, like this reminded me of this, or this represents this or whatever.

And I feel like in this conversation, we like adopted the tone of Cohen brothers movies, and then dove into our own lives.

Yeah. In retrospect, that's exactly what happened. I think that's a testament to the power of this work of art and doesn't bear on the ability of or inability of any one in this room to stick to a subject.

Agreed. Agreed.

We've gotten a lot of absolutely lovely feedback on our Thor Ragnarok episode in particular from people who were like, I love that movie, but couldn't quite put my finger on the exact reasons I love that movie.

And things that people enjoyed hearing about in their own experience was references to Jewish diaspora to love for Christopher Reeve Superman.

And just overall feeling seen by the identity of themes in that movie. So I was rare that we look back on our previous episodes in intros, but Fangirl Jean really brought it.

Yeah, I'm so happy that people are responding to that episode, and I'm so happy that Fangirl Jean came. And you know what she's like, it's like when you like light up the Christmas tree.

That's what that episode is like. And you're not Clark Griswald. So you put on an appropriate number of lights, and you're like, this is dazzling, but not scary.

This is such a weird holiday. Thanks giving such a weird holiday. Like it's the weirdest.
