When Netflix first expanded from being a mail order DVD/Blu-ray service to starting a streaming video service, it was revolutionary. They had top creators making movies and television series and had a wonderfully full library of titles to offer. Then Amazon Prime, Hulu, AMC+, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, the many variations of HBO, and more came and the selections of any single given service was severely diminished (Tubi & Kanopy, we love you!

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Tara Sanders Brooks—writer, cinematographer, and debut novelist—to explore what it means to tell stories that go beyond identity labels. Her upcoming novel It Will Last Longer is a striking blend of crime noir, literary fiction, and queer romance set in Los Angeles. Tara shares how her creative journey from film to prose has been driven by a desire to make readers feel less alone, and how her complex characters reflect the beautiful messiness of life. This conversation dives into topics like the gaps in queer representation, the ethics of art inspired by tragedy, the volatile nature of public opinion in the digital age, and why flawed characters resonate so deeply. Tara also opens up about her own fears and triumphs in writing her first novel, offering a heartfelt message to fellow creatives to take risks and tell the stories only they can tell. Tune in to understand why It Will Last Longer is more than a book—it's a statement. About the Guest:Tara Sanders Brooks is a Los Angeles-based writer and cinematographer. With bylines in American Cinematographer and Women in Media, Tara now turns her lens inward with her debut novel It Will Last Longer, releasing September 16.

Key Takeaways : Tara discusses her transition from the film world to writing, highlighting how prose allows deeper emotional exploration.

She reflects on Viv, her morally complex protagonist, and the controversial decision to start the novel with a photo of a suicide scene—prompting readers to reflect on artistic ethics and digital culture. Tara talks about LA as more than a backdrop—it's a character in her novel, mirroring the protagonist's internal grit and glamour. The episode explores the toxicity of online culture and how both public figures and everyday users face the emotional whiplash of digital judgment. She encourages creators to take risks, create what they wish existed, and believe Connect with Tara Sanders Brooks:Website: www.tarasandersbrooks.comDM for book talks, film projects, and creative collaborations.

This week we're talking everybody's favorite topic- local politics! But legitimately, it's something that's becoming more important by the day and actually far more fulfilling and invigorating than you may initially think. We invited our friend Britt (many of you know her as @thebrittbee) to have this conversation with us as she's been such a great example of this since the beginning of the year. Topics covered include:Why it's so important to be positively fighting for what we want, not merely be fighting against what we dislikeEmbracing the courage it takes to let the people in your life know that you're not down with authoritarianismThe power of clubs in fostering community and personal growthHer mantra of "Good Always Wins"Matriarchy and the vibes we could use more ofAnd MORE!Shoutouts:Join or Die (documentary)The Story of B by Daniel QuinnThe Phoenician SchemeA Rebellion of Care by David GateSouth Park season 27WeaponsThe Bad Guys 2KPop Demon HuntersFollow Working Families and look for your local branchFollow Britt:InstagramWebsite (Join her club!)Follow Us:InstagramThreadsPhilip's LetterboxdBlueSkyShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!Today we're diving into one of the most overlooked—but absolutely crucial—parts of any FLR dynamic: financial control. Who holds the money? Who decides how it gets spent? And how do we build structure around money without turning it into a battlefield?Spoiler alert: I hold the debit card. And it's not just about power—it's about respect, ritual, and responsibility.What I Talk About in This Episode:Why dominance isn't just in the play—it's in the practiceReal-life examples from our FLR money ritualsHow communication builds trust around financesWhat to do when your sub tops from the bottom (and how to recover)Weekly money check-ins as emotional regulation toolsChore-based point systems that build structure without infantilizingHow I reclaimed my power after years of being the “default manager”The deep emotional empowerment that comes from owning the finances“You don't have to be a CPA to run an FLR household. You just need trust, clarity, and the confidence to say, ‘This is what's best for us—and I'm deciding it.'”“We forget that holding the money is a kink for some of us. It's symbolic. It's ritual. And it's real fucking power.”Five Tips for Starting a Financial Control Dynamic:Start with a conversation, not a command. Ask, but be firm.Define clear categories. Needs, wants, fun, rituals.Set financial rituals. Weekly check-ins, allowance transfers, updates.Use symbolic tools. Apps, charts, envelopes, or even a ritual wallet.Reinforce with structure. Consistency is where confidence is built.Listener Invitation:Got rituals around money? Creative systems that work for your FLR?Tell me. I want to hear it all.

A few months ago we had Marta on to discuss Abbas Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry and it was a wonderful conversation! Towards the end we talked about how it's a shame that his film The Wind Will Carry Us is hard to find and that Criterion should put it out on Blu-ray and behold, on one of the next slate of announcements there it was! When we saw that, we knew we were going to have her back to cover it and here we are. Like many of Kiarostami's pictures, this deals with matters of life and death, the perspective of children, the beauty in the monotony of daily life, and the creative/artistic process. It's wonderful to have back in circulation and we hope you enjoy the movie (watch free in the link below) and our discussion!Watch The Wind Will Carry Us on Google Drive linkSubstantive Cinema Episode ListShoutouts:On the Silver GlobeFollow Marta:SubstackInstagramLetterboxdFollow Us:InstagramThreadsPhilip's LetterboxdBlueSkyShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Bong Joon Ho's second feature film is a challenging watch but it's also a cinematic marvel of incredible substance. Recently, Philip joined Jen and Sarah on Movies & Us to talk about the 2003 film that Criterion calls "a haunting journey into ever-deepening darkness that begins as a black-comic satire and ends as a soul-shattering encounter with the abyss."Enjoy!As of the publishing of this episode, you can currently stream the film on Tubi (Tubi sponsor the show!)

Tyler Huckabee returns to the show and the late, great Hannibal Lecter makes his Substance debut!In 1991, Jonathan Demme shocked critics and audiences alike with his sleek, stylish, unsettling, and genuinely fantastic film The Silence of the Lambs. It went on to be the third film in cinematic history to win all 5 of the big awards come Oscar season. The film won Best Picture, Demme won Best Director, screenwriter Ted Tally won Best Screenplay, and Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins each won Best Actor/Actress. It was a true cultural phenomenon and in the last 30 years or so, it has lost none of its power or wonder. We had a great time welcoming Tyler back for this one, one of his self-proclaimed all-time Top 10 films.

Sorry for the publishing delay! And yes, we know it says Tuesday on the intro, etc. It was a holiday weekend and things have been busy. But here we are with a new show and a WONDERFUL conversation with Episcopal priest and author, Reverend Joseph Yoo.Joseph has grown his online platform over the years on an authenticity and decency that feels so refreshing amidst so many spiritual and religious leaders taking advantage of people or sharing a message absent of love. It's also refreshing that he's not seeking to be a "content creator" but rather just trying to share insights and thoughts with folks in order to encourage them or to help himself work things out by saying them out loud and seeing what others think.During our conversation we cover:His thoughts on the Star Wars prequelsHis love of professional wrestlingHis childhood goal of becoming a season ticket holder for a local teamThe spiritual journey that lead him to becoming an Episcopal priest and planting a church in a denomination that he was new toWhy doubt is an essential part of the faithful lifeHow seminary helped him become affirmingAnd more!Shoutouts:The Pitt (show)Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory BoyleDo You Still Talk to Grandma? by Brit BarronFreaky TalesFollow JosephBlogWhen the Saints Go Flying InInstagramTikTokFollow UsInstagramThreadsPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

As Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's most recent collaboration, Sinners, is dominating the domestic and worldwide box office, we thought it would be a good time to look at their first project together, Fruitvale Station. Fruitvale is partially the telling of the tragic story of the killing of Oscar Grant in Oakland CA on New Year's Day 2009, but it's so much more. Beyond being a mere recreation of events and the conveying of the awful facts, the film is a beautiful portrait of a young man who is struggling against a system that is set against him and his own difficulties. In addition to being a star making vehicle for Michael B. Jordan, the film features incredible performances from Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer, and Ariana Neal. Coogler and co. received a lot of critical praise for the film which set him up to helm massive projects like Creed and the Black Panther movies for Marvel. Joining us for our look back is Chicago based film critic Zachary Lee who is a regular contributor to Roger Ebert, Letterboxd, Interview Magazine, Chicago Reader, Think Christian, and more. He's been someone we've wanted to have on the show for a while and he did not disappoint.Enjoy the show and share it with a friend!Substantive Cinema Episode ListZach Interviews Ryan CooglerFreaky Tales InterviewZach & Willem Dafoe on The Legend of OchiShoutouts:Queens of DramaThe Ballad of Wallis IslandOur Revolution by Bernie SandersMy Old AssFollow ZachInstagramEverything else!Follow UsInstagramPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Kogonada. Ever heard of him? The South Korean-born American filmmaker began to get attention for his video essays that analyzed themes and motifs from various films and television series before launching as a writer/director with the film we are covering this week, Columbus (2017).The movie follows two people who are at a place in their lives where they need to make important decisions related to their family and their future. Jin (John Cho), the son of a renowned architect, comes to Columbus to see his father when he falls ill but is unsure how long he wants to stay and look after him. When he arrives in Columbus (Indiana) he meets and befriends Casey (Haley Lu Richardson), a young woman who is passionate about architecture but hesitant to leave Columbus to pursue her next steps because she feels compelled to stay and be there for her mother who is dealing with addiction issues. It's a beautiful film about space and structures, passion, familial responsibility, and how the relationships we have push us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.Joining us this week are Kogonada enthusiasts and long time podcasters Jen & Sarah from the Movies & Us and TV & Us podcasts!

Her weekly show That Makes Total Sense!, is a wonderful listen and always has interesting and thoughtful people on. This week, she's back to discuss what we've both learned over the last few years of making our shows, how we're preparing to love our neighbors through a socially and politically difficult time, how high control faith systems tend towards acceptance of authoritarians, being people of action, and more!Shoutouts:Abbott Elementary Parks & RecSeveranceWhere is the Friend's House?Our Revolution by Bernie SandersThe SopranosFollow AlexisThat Makes Total Sense!WebsiteInstagramFollow UsInstagramPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

When life feels overwhelming and your mind won't stop racing, the instinct for many of us is to retreat and figure things out alone. What if resilience isn't always found in solitude, but in community?In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun explores how overthinking often thrives in isolation and how connection can be a powerful antidote. Through personal stories, insights from years of facilitating groups, and real-life transformations, she dives into how emotionally safe communities foster clarity, accountability, and confidence.Key TakeawaysThough being vulnerable in a group can feel more daunting than in individual one-on-one experiences, the power of being in an emotionally safe community can't be overstated. Anxiety tends to operate in overthinking loops and over-analyzing. When we're alone, it is harder to interrupt these cycles. Often, as we feel more connected and trusting in community, we simultaneously experience greater confidence, connection, and trust in ourselves.

Last week we had a great time talking movies with our Canadian friend Marta Djordjevic, so we figured we'd keep it going and double down with another Canadian guest AND a Canadian film (and stay tuned in the post show to potentially hear Marta about this week's film)!I Like Movies is writer/director Chandler Levack's 2022 directorial debut and it's a complete delight. It's very funny, it's sweet, it's sad, it's cringey, and it beautifully captures a period of life that everyone can relate to whether or not they are a movie lover. It's currently streaming on Kanopy & Hoopla, available to rent on your digital retailer of choice, and is also probably on DVD at your local library. Go check it out!We are also honored to have had the film's star Romina D'Ugo join us for this conversation! In the film, Romins plays the manager of the store that the protagonist gets a job at while he's attempting to save up enough money to go film school. Over the course of the movie, they grow close and ultimately both help each other move into the next stages of life. We discuss what went into her preparation for the character, filming through Covid, taking it on the festival circuit, and more!Substantive Cinema Episode ListShoutouts:The Swearing JarThe Artist's WayStrategic Coach booksFollow RominaInstagramPortal to HellFollow UsInstagramPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Way back when the show relaunched in 2020, we had planned on covering Abbas Kiarostami's Palme d'Or winning Taste of Cherry but I was overruled by my then cohosts who, at the time, were not terribly taken with the film. Now almost five years later, I'm excited to return to it with an even greater appreciation of it. I'm also delighted to be joined on this episode by my internet friend, film historian, critic, and podcaster Marta Djordjevic. Her former podcast, McFly's Movie House, is a treasure trove of insights and appreciation for cinema and a great way to build your watchlist. She's also a huge Kiarostami fan, with Taste of Cherry being one of her favorite films. **In this episode we do cover the topic of suicide, if you didn't watch or look up the movie**We also talk about the three arguments against it that the film depicts: community, morality, and beauty, we look at Kiarostami's career arc and personal style, why sometimes stories with harsh or challenging content can become comfort viewing for some, and more!Tune in next week for a back to back Substantive Cinema with Canadian ladies in the film world when actress Romina D'Ugo joins us to talk about her recent film I Like Movies.Substantive Cinema Episode ListShoutoutsNTS RadioHaruFollow MartaWebsiteInstagramLetterboxdSubstackFollow UsInstagramPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Nazis...I hate these guys.Seth Vargas of the Movie Friends podcast joins us to discuss Jeremy Saulnier's 2015 punk horror masterpiece, Green Room. When a down on their luck punk band takes a blind gig at a venue that ends up being a skinhead bar, things get gnarly. We talk Seth's background in the aughts punk scene, Patrick Stewart's terrifying performance, the struggle of the independent artist, how systems can be just as malicious and destructive as individuals, the late Anton Yelchin, and more!The movie may not be for everyone but we hope you enjoy the conversation!Follow UsInstagramTwitterPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
Sorry about the unintentional hiatus but we are back! Pre-Super Bowl, I sat down to catch up with Editor Dave to catch up and do a little TTU. David Lynch died and that sucks, but we have an incredible body of work to enjoy forever along with the legacy of inspiration he's left to countless artists. One way or another, Donal Trump won the election and the next four years are gonna be full of things that really suck (for everyone around the world, even the folks who voted for him), however this isn't the end of everything and we talk about the importance of investing in our local communities. We also looked ahead (at the time) to the potential of a Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl rematch and bring back our friendly wager from the last time there was a Philly KC Super Bowl so in light of that...Go subscribe to Dave's Substack over at: https://substack.com/@hallahanShoutouts:The BrutalistSing SingSharon McMahon's book The Small and the MightyHot MulliganSons of Patriarchy podcastThe Giver seriesFollow UsInstagramTwitterPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

This isn't just another episode about mindset work or positive thinking. This is about diving deep beneath the surface to unlock what's truly holding you back from your next level of success.As someone who's spent years guiding visionary women to create deeply aligned success, I'm pulling back the curtain on why traditional mindset work might actually be keeping you trapped in patterns that no longer serve you.Here's the truth - if you're only focusing on "mindset," you're missing 90% of the core problem. When we try to simply "rewrite" our stories without honoring and releasing the deeper subconscious patterns beneath them, we're essentially building ourselves a beautiful prison of positive thinking while the real work remains undone.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why surface-level mindset work only takes you so far (and what to do instead)The hidden trap of solving symptoms instead of core patternsHow your higher self gets muffled by decades of putting others first and trusting powers outside of yourselfThe BIGGEST thing I see keep female entrepreneurs stuck in the 90% statistic of those who don't scale to 6 Figures and beyondHow to know if you're staying ‘busy' with tactics instead of transformationThis is for you if you're tired of:Endlessly working on your mindset without seeing lasting changeFocusing on surface-level solutions that don't create real transformationFeeling stuck despite doing "all the right things"Knowing you're meant for more but feeling blocked from receiving itLet's dive in and uncover what's really keeping you from being a clear conductor for your next level of success.Ready to go deeper?For a limited time only, I'm opening 5 exclusive spots for The Sovereign CEO VIP Intensive - this is a BRAND NEW intimate container where your next-level soul desires meet grounded scalability.

This isn't just another episode about business strategy, spiritual growth or EVEN about the changes that have happened and are about to unfold in the online space soon.This is your wake-up call to one of the most significant energetic shifts of our lifetime.There is A LOT happening on so many levels. Pluto is moving into Aquarius, our collective consciousness is rising, and as soul-led business owners I know how many of you are feeling the intensity of this transition... you're not alone.Here's the thing - as a leader who's spent 6.5+ years guiding women to build multi-6 and 7-figure empires without sacrificing their soul's truth, I can tell you that what's unfolding right now is BEYOND what most people are talking about.This isn't just about "leveling up" your business. This is about a complete metamorphosis in how we show up as leaders, how we create impact, and how we build wealth in alignment with the collective good.I'm pulling back the curtain on what this profound shift means for conscious leaders and sharing WHY your willingness to do the inner work now will determine your ability to lead (and thrive) in this new era.We're diving deep into why the old "guru" model is dying, how to turn your triggers into your greatest teachers, and what it really takes to lead from a place of authentic power without putting yourself on a pedestal.This episode is your permission slip to stop hiding your truth and start leading the evolution that your soul came here to create.Let's dive in.OH and PS... This conversation is just the beginning…If you're feeling the call to step into leadership in a bigger way and you know it's time to:Lead with both soul alignment AND strategic actionTurn your inner wisdom into magnetic client attractionCreate sustainable wealth without compromising your valuesBuild a movement that serves the collective evolutionMap out your bold next moves with crystal clarityThen join me for New Era Leadership Unleashed: A transformative 90 min experience where you'll:Tap into what you're truly being called to createUnpack the fears and limiting beliefs holding you backEmbody your highest leadership NOWCreate a concrete strategic roadmap for bold actionSave your spot here for this powerful workshop where we'll harness the revolutionary energy of this shift to unlock your highest leadership potential and create MORE impact income with ease.Ok, let's do this.

We're back with part two (if you missed part 1 you can tune in here), and this is the episode I've been so excited to share including all the lessons, wild manifestations and truly heart-bursting side effects of life truly throwing me on my ass this last year.It's the EASIEST thing to forget who the fuck you really BE when life hands you a shit sandwich.AND there's such a beautiful deepening of self-trust and remembrance of what's truly important and what your soul is really here to do in moments like these… if you're willing to rise to the occasion.I'm sharing with you HOW I've navigated this past year, the choice I was faced with, and why I'm not just proud of how I decided to rise to the occasion but the magic, connection and authenticity that I feel I'm unlocking because of it.This isn't about painting a pretty picture of what has truly been (another) dark night of the soul - by NO means has this been easy or pretty…But rather to share my experience of what's possible when we choose liberation over comfort and decide to not let circumstances dictate who we get to be.I would LOVE and appreciate your feedback and if this resonates or you're going through it, I'm here to send you love - and I truly mean it.My intention for this episode is to show you how we always get to be in our power even when we don't have control over our circumstances or what life throws our way.And NORMALISE this stuff, we ALL go through it, most people just don't want to share it and I want to change that because I know how much that would have helped me.Let's dive in.OH and PS... If you haven't already noticed, the VIBE over here is changing in a big way.If you're craving support that sees YOU as a human and knows how to pull out your deeper mission, message and way of operating so that your body/mind and SOUL is fully onboard for the Sovereign Success you know you're being called into...So you can move into this new season feeling fully fucking confident that you're:>> Making next-level decisions from your highest self, not fear or conditioning...>> Creating wealth and impact without compromising your values>> Building wild amounts of abundance and wealth on your own terms without burnout (because you know making money is only ONE part of the wealth equation)>> Maintaining your frequency regardless of external circumstancesI have something brewing and if this is speaking to your soul and you're curious to see how much fucking better business and life can get when you stop trying to squeeze your bigness into a box and unleash your magic for everyone to see...Grab a spot on my coveted calendar HERE so we can meet, get to know each other and unpack exactly what that could look like for you.I have a couple spots opening up at the end of November and the beginning of December for a few one-off Intensives as well as first dibs to my NEW 1:1 program.

I can't TELL YOU how scare-cited I am to be back.Scared because - WOWZAZ I think this is the MOST vulnerable episode I've ever recorded.Excited because honestly, this feels like a HUGE elephant off my chest to be able to be candid and also at a place emotionally where it feels right to share this with you.If you missed the Instagram post that went viral (check it out here), I shared the WHY behind how I've been hiding from you this year and why I really felt the need to pause the podcast.But let's be real, ONE carousel post does not really lean into the level of transparency I wanted to share with you, so here we are.I'm sharing why my life has been one big shit show after another this past year (really two but you'll see)…The event that happened that was highly traumatic for me in March, and how that triggered some seriously BURRIED big T and little t and how I've been navigating and working through it all.And how I've navigated really giving myself space to GO THERE and process my emotions in a way I never have before and the shame I've felt for not growing the business in the way I planned to this year.I'm not going to lie, this is a HARD share so it would mean the WORLD to me if you hop on over to Instagram and let me know if you've given it a listen…I would LOVE and appreciate your feedback and if this resonates or you're going through it, I'm here to send you love - and I truly mean it.My intention for this episode is that if this helps even ONE person who's currently going through it and gives hope that you're certainly NOT alone that you're experience is valid and you're a brave AF human for really letting yourself GO there and take the time out required to have space to process and heal...If it helps ONE person feel seen in the shit that IS shadow work and that even though dark nights of the soul are MF dark… you will survive and find deeper levels of self-trust than you've ever known…I'll be a very happy human indeed.Let's dive in.OH and PS... If you haven't already noticed, the VIBE over here is changing in a big way.I'm in the middle of elevating the ways we get to co-create and I can't fucking wait to let the cat out of the bag.If you're ready to embody your big girl leadership where we embrace the shadow to unleash the unlearning required to transform and step into a RICH + RESOURCED biz + life…DM me on IG NOW to find out about my 1:1 coaching - my rates will be going up in 2025 so now is the time to reach out to find out more about my NEW VIP container.Or better yet, book in a time on my coveted calendar so we can talk about what YOUR next evolution looks like and how I can support you to step into this next chapter as your most untamed, unapologetic authentic AF self so that you can move from making a cute little income to truly creating MILLIONS + A MISSION THAT MATTERS.Ok, let's do this.

At last, the long-awaited season finale of RIP Diets season 4! In this episode, I'm talking about Charli XCX, why I stan her so goddamn hard, and how her latest album "Brat" explores the themes of weight, body image, girlhood, and generational trauma, while still being the perfect music to throw some ass to!
