Close (with Eileen G'Sell)

Damien Vincent, host of Remain, Roam, Return, joins me to talk about childhood dreams, family, and loss on this episode about Disney-Pixar's Coco.

For some critics, Chloe Zhao's Hamnet was an emotionally manipulative tearjerker. For others, it was a sincere and heartfelt exploration of grief and loss. Today, I'm joined by Ann Jones, known in many circles as my mom, to talk about why Hamnet was one of 2025's best films—and why it made her cry.

Brianna Kearney joins me to talk about why the 2024 romantic drama We Live in Time inspired her to publicly share her tears on social media—and how the movie helped her process her own mother's battle with cancer.

Artist and author Ryan Estrada joins me to talk about the 1986 Korean drama Gilsotteum, and he reveals why a 2016 screening of the film moved him and the entire audience to tears.
