Previous Episode: Cast Away: I’ll Be Right Back(?)

Next Episode: Collision Course: If You Thought Rush Hour Wasn’t Racist Enough…

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are imagining that we’re saving our friends from the worst scourge on the planet. We watched the 2018 film from Robert Zemeckis, Welcome to Marwen.

We’re encouraging you to do two things this week:

Read up on Mark Hogancamp, the focus of this film, and watch the documentary Marwencol to get a first hand view of this fascinating person.If you’re dealing with trauma of your own, seek out help and companionship.

The story of Mark Hogancamp extends far beyond what’s shown in this film and is worth your time. Steven touches on parts of the documentary in this episode, but there’s a wealth of information out there.

And as this film shows, there are always people out there who want you to be okay, no matter your circumstances. There are always people who want to be there for you. There is always a way through.
