How do you navigate divorce? Especially when you have kids?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at the family dynamics of Mrs. Doubtfire. They get into the pain of divorce and grieving the way life and family change. They talk about Daniel’s transformation into Mrs. Doubtfire and how perspective-taking allows him to grow as a person and parent. Jonathan touches on experiences of couples fighting during sessions and how the movie does a great job portraying the emotional realism of divorce. Alan talks about the comedy brilliance of Robin Williams, and they both admire his many incredible performances. We miss you, Robin.

This episode was filmed during the Writer’s Strike.

According to SAG-Aftra, independent film reviewers are welcome to discuss movies that have already come out. These films were produced under previous contracts and wouldn’t be affected by any changes resulting from the strike.

Any praise for the films we discuss is praise for the writers, actors, directors, and so many other artists and craftspeople who made them. Without their labor, we wouldn’t be able to watch our favorite films together. Without their labor, our show wouldn’t be as impactful. Without their labor, our show wouldn’t exist.

We support their strike efforts. If you’d like to support them as well, go to www.entertainmentcommunity.org.
