These Films Changed How We Process Grief — And They Might Do the Same for You
58 mins
April 2, 2025

What do Hereditary, Sound of Metal, A Ghost Story, and The Rugrats Movie have in common? They’ll absolutely destroy you—and maybe help you feel a little more human while they’re at it. This week, Jeremie and Brian sit down with Elliott and Kylie from the Moody Movie Club podcast, who are running a film screening series all about grief, loss, and those beautiful moments where a cartoon baby can make you ugly cry. Together, they unpack four films that hit like a truck and make a strong case for why sad movies might be better than therapy (not medical advice, obviously). From demonic moms to haunted pie-eating ghosts to the sound of silence (literally) to a baby’s search for his mom—this episode is for anyone who’s ever sobbed into their popcorn and said, “Damn, I needed that.”
