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!

In that moment, I swear Young Adult Month was infinite. Join as Dan and Brian continue their exploration of adaptations of books aimed at teens. They discuss some of the YA books and movies that have had the biggest impact on them, then dive deep into the 2012 film based off of the 1999 coming-of-age book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. They discuss Emma Watson's accent, the beautification of the loser hero, Mae Whitman's charm, implausible holes is music knowledge, and what exactly it means to be "infinite."

"Young Adult Month" continues on The Goods as Dan and Brian investigate the roots and influential novels of YA lit, starting with the pioneering 1967 SE Hinton novel and its Francis Ford Coppola-helmed adaptation. Dan compares the theatrical cut with the book-faithful Complete Novel Edition released in 2005. Meanwhile, Brian breaks down some of the more implausible plot twists and considers the intimate energy between Johnny and Ponyboy.

It's "Young Adult Month" on The Goods, and we have a double whammy this week: an adaptation of a YA novel about writing a YA novel. Join as Brian shares his award-winning history as a writer and Dan discusses his abandoned novel drafts. The week's movie, meanwhile, is a cheesy Disney Channel Original Movie about an accidental author with a very bizarre Tyler Durden-esque twist. Dan revels in the possibility of an "Iguana Cut," while Brian points out some of the movie's stupider plot points.
Go YAM with The Goods in the second week of Young Adult Month!

Welcome to the first week of Young Adult Month on The Goods, in which Dan and Brian review adaptations of young adult books both iconic and minor.
First up is the book and movie that provided a gateway to coming-of-age stories for Dan, It's Kind of a Funny Story. Join as Dan shares his connection to the mental health-themed story, his reflections on passed away author Ned Vizzini, and the film's fluctuating tone.
Meanwhile, Brian shares his own relevant experience, the time he worked in a mental hospital, and how well the movie reflected that reality.
Join all month as we go YAM (Young Adult Month) on The Goods: A Film Podcast.

Brian's jumbo-sized birthday review of the Spy Kids trilogy continues as he, Dan, and his brother Andrew investigate Spy Kids 3 and the extended Spy Kids universe. Join as they consider Robert Rodriguez's love of old-school cinematic spectacle, the dark mirror of The Toymaker, the goofy ugliness of The Adventures of Sharkboy, and unexpectedly poignancy of the series' soft reboot in 2011. Finally, the group answers the question "Is It Good?" for every entry in the Spy Kids universe.
