The Goods gets personal this week! First, Brian and Dan discuss the surreal drama of a man of swimming through a concrete river, facing his own (and his generation's) obsolescence.
Then, they talk through the five best years of their lives so far. No movies; just life. The Swimmer is the kind of movie to get you that way.

Join as Dan, Brian, and Gargus discuss Lewis Carroll and the many Alice adaptations, Švankmajer's eye-popping stop-mo style, the pros and cons of the story's episodic rhythm, and some of the most memorable, viscerally uncomfortable moments any of us have seen.

The Goods continues its tradition of bringing not-quite-films to share with listeners to celebrate April Fools Day. First, Brian helps Dan become a super duper pooper as they watch the potty training VHS special from the early 1990s. There's a clown and a foot-tall gremlin named Mr. Penders, too.
Then, Dan walks Brian through a college basketball highlight he discovered when he was in college. They interrogate the fine line between a hero and a legend.
Happy April Fools Day from The Goods: A Not-Quite-A-Film Podcast!
