How do you find happiness and purpose in life after loss?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are both crying because they’re reacting to Pixar’s Up. They talk about Carl’s reluctance to move on and find a new life without Ellie, and they cry watching the montage about their life. They talk about Pixar’s perfect screenplay and physical comedy, and they cry about that. They discuss how life can continue after loss, finding new joys and purpose, and Jonathan almost leaves and lets Alan do the show by himself because Up is his kryptonite.. Oh, and Michael Giacchino’s heart-wrenching score makes them cry too.

2023-06-12 11:53:53 I lost both of my parents and it was a struggle. Between April and June, that is the time I struggle the most. Everything associated with my parents (their birthdays , when they both passed away,Mother's Day & Father's Day); all of that happens during that time. That is the time I isolate myself as much as I can and take it one day at a time. I do work, sure, but afterwards, the memories are what get to me. Up still makes me cry to this day. I know grief is something we all go through. I just protect my soul by getting through it alone (although this year I have a therapist helping me to work on my grief and not to be afraid to share)

I remember watching Disney Pixar’s UP in the cinema , there wasn’t a dry eye in the cinema all I could hear was sniffing and crying not just from myself 😅 I had over six boxes of tissues and a spare bag I was handing and passing the tissues round the cinema surprisingly all boxes went round everyone 😅 after the movie was finished I held the bag open for everyone to stick there tear and snot soaked tissues into couldn’t get over how heavy the bag was 😅 this movie was an absolute masterpiece big Michael Giacchino fan brilliant composer 👌☮️💚🥹

When this show came out my 9 month old daughter was about to have a bone marrow transplant to hopefully cure her cancer. I had not left the hospital in months. I also hadn't cried, and I knew I needed to. I'd heard about this movie on the radio and thought it might be the catalyst I needed. So I got someone else to stay with my baby and went to the show. Boy was I right. I was a mess and sobbed, but really needed it. I got all my crying out so I could be strong for my daughter through what turned out to be a rough next two years. I haven't been able to watch the show again since then. Thank you for doing this show and reminding me what a great movie it is.

I had already destroyed a tissue before the opening. Now 5 tissues later, I will find happiness by putting up my Christmas tree

When I saw this, the first thing that popped into my head was "Welcome to the episode where they're both going to cry. A lot. Non stop." All the love, I cried my eyes out like a baby when I first watched this movie.

Does anyone know the Intro/Outro music they use in their videos?

Yes! Who else can play a (lovable) grumpy old man and Santa Claus?

I kindly request subtitles... ^_^

We have them on our YouTube videos! The only reason we don't have them here is because Patreon doesn't support them yet. But they say it's coming soon as it's a highly requested and necessary feature.

Wow I am wasted. I literally burst into tears when Jono (am I even allowed to call you that, Sir? ) told what happened that morning when his mother died. So emotional. I feel for you! You have such a great mixture. After a very emotional scene - and I always cry with you, even more in this show where its both of you - you place some funny joke scene or go into the next scene with a remark, so that I am in tears and still feel the grief or sadness and bursting already into laughing out loud. For one its confusing but fun. But if anyone would observe me without context, I am sure they draw the wrong conclusions. This patreon is worth every cent! I love your show!
