A Goofy Movie: Stand Out - Growing Up and Staying Connected | Epilogues & Epiphanies with Ben Wong
from Epilogues and Epiphanies – Movies, TV and the Stories That Shape Us · host Lyndsey McPherson
What looks like a silly 90s Disney movie turns out to be a surprisingly honest story about growing up, wanting independence, and wanting to stay connected at the same time. Lyndsey and Ben Wong revisit A Goofy Movie and talk about authenticity, parent-child tension, and why the parts of ourselves we try to hide are often the parts people love most. They explore what the film gets right about the push and pull of adolescence, the fear of becoming your parents, and the vulnerability it takes to just be yourself. Come for the 90s nostalgia. Stay for the unexpected emotional clarity.
