| 0:00.0 | Hello you and welcome to You Are Good, a feelings podcast about movies. |
| 0:13.5 | Today, we are talking about 13, and we're talking about it with Bree Esrigg. I am your host, |
| 0:20.1 | Alex Steed. Welcome. You are good at Filings Podcasts about movies. They say exactly what it sounds like. This is a show where we talk about movies and we talk about the feelings they evoke. We are not film critics. We're here to ask, uh, what's this movie all about? And how does it make me feel? And why does it make me feel that way? |
| 0:38.1 | That's what we do here on You Are Good. |
| 0:41.7 | Please pardon any issues with the audio, both in this intro in the episode itself. |
| 0:45.6 | I'm recording this on my phone, this introduction, because I am unexpectedly away today. |
| 0:51.8 | Or I'm away, expectedly, but it unexpectedly forgot my microphone. |
| 0:56.8 | And then the audio on this episode on Bree's, on, Bree was traveling. So it wasn't sort of a, |

| 1:32.3 | We talk about sex. |

| 1:35.7 | We talk about cutting. |
| 1:37.0 | We talk about, you know, sexual abuse. |
| 1:40.8 | We talk about many things in this episode. |
| 1:42.9 | So this one's a heavy one. I will have a specific |
| 1:46.8 | trigger warning in the episode when we talk about self-harm and cutting. But just know, |
| 1:51.8 | we're talking about a lot of stuff throughout this episode. So if that's something that you're not |
| 1:55.2 | feeling today, just know that that's in here so that you can make decisions accordingly. |
