These Films Changed How We Process Grief — And They Might Do the Same for You
from Sickboy
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.”Learn more about the Moody Movie Club grief screening series here ➡ https://metrocinema.org/series/undone-by-each-other-grief-loss-and-mourning/Be sure to catch the full video version of this episode on YouTube!Follow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN
