Summary
Danny Ocean is married to the sea. This week we talk about fisheries, late capitalism’s guilty love letters to the American worker, and Linda Greenlaw with Brianna Bowman King. Also, the surprising origin story of the Filet-O-Fish.
You can find Brianna and her writing here.
Two quick notes: Sarah wants you to know she knows she confused Super Fly and Pusherman. Also, in this episode we talk about a hook going through somebody's hand so just know that if things like that make you squeamish.
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.
Abigail Swartz of Gray Day Studio designed our logo!
