The filmmaker Steven Feinartz (“The Bitter Buddha”) makes his first appearance on the podcast. His new documentary is called “Are We Good?”.

“Are We Good?”, which premiered out of SXSW Film & TV Festival and screened out of Tribeca Festival is not a biopic, nor is it a stand-up routine film – it is a look at one person’s process through grief told with honesty, humanity, and humor.

The touching documentary not only dives into the career and life of comedian and podcast pioneer Marc Maron but focuses on his process grieving the loss of his partner Lynn Shelton who passed during Covid, as well as his relationship with his declining father. Like Marc, the doc beautifully balances humor and heart and shows us that even during times of grief there is room for laughter.
