2025-08-05 22:10:31 +0000 UTCI've never cried as hard over a show as I have over The Good Place. It literally cured my fear of death and got me to a place where I was ready to actually do therapy. And any time I start to feel hopeless with everything going on in the world, I rewatch the show and suddenly I can keep going.

2025-05-20 15:33:39 +0000 UTCI'd be shocked if someone hasn't brought this up already, but I still feel the need to mention that if you love The Good Place, you should read Michael Schur's book "How to Be Perfect". He gives the full backstory of how he came up with the idea for the show, and it's an amazing mixture of moral philosophy and humor.

2025-05-11 01:21:35 +0000 UTCI know this is outside your typical wheelhouse, but you should check out the musical Epic thats Jorge Riverra-Heren’s take on the Odyssey for your next Patreon exclusive. 1) the music is FANTASTIC, 2) there are so many juicy “trolley problems” that come up throughout it, and 3) there are some incredible character arcs that could be used for psychological of a hero(?)/morally grey character/navigating impossible survival scenarios. Plus, the fan-made animatics are so good, it’s basically like watching an animated movie now if you get the right playlist!
