The "Soul Shift Sessions Podcast" episode, "31: These Movies Changed Our Lives (And They Might Change Yours Too)!", features coaches Sapphire Starr and Kyle McCloud discussing movies that have significantly impacted their lives.
Here's a summary of the films and themes they cover:
- The Goonies: Sapphire's favorite childhood movie, loved for its adventure aspect and the theme of discovery. Kyle highlights how the film shows that nothing goes according to plan, much like life, and that things still work out despite unexpected challenges. The conversation also touches upon the difficulty of not taking life too seriously as an adult and the importance of healing one's inner child.
- Indiana Jones: Another of Sapphire's favorites, praised for its continued theme of adventure and discovery. Kyle notes Indiana Jones as a more serious, adult version of the Goonies, someone who shows up every time despite danger. They discuss his unwavering focus and how he isn't easily sidetracked by distractions.
- Top Gun: Kyle's favorite movie. He discusses Maverick's character, highlighting how Maverick struggles to move on from the past, specifically the death of his friend Goose. This leads to a discussion on the challenge of moving on from loss while still honoring loved ones. Kyle admires Maverick's noble act of risking his and his friend's lives to save others.
- The Matrix: Kyle's other favorite, celebrated for its profound themes. They discuss Neo as "the one" who needs convincing but ultimately figures it out himself. Morpheus is admired for his conviction, leadership, and belief in Neo, emphasizing that he can only show the door. Trinity is highlighted for her quiet feminine strength and power, and the hosts relate her initial fear of acknowledging her feelings to their own lives and the liberation that comes from sharing without expectation.
- The Color Purple: Discussed as a cultural staple in Sapphire's family, known for its quotable lines and role in their communication.
- Life, Temptations, Five Heartbeats, Friday, Boyz n the Hood, Dead Presidents, Menace II Society, Set It Off: Other culturally significant films mentioned for their quotability and impact.
- Remember the Titans: Kyle discusses this film for its leadership and unity themes, particularly the concept of trust versus alignment in bringing people together. He highlights the transformation of the football team and the important lesson that just because you are transformed doesn't mean your environment is transformed. The film also demonstrates the difficulty of some individuals to embrace transformation and the importance of setting boundaries in relationships.
- Tuesdays with Morrie: Sapphire mentions this book (mistaking it for a movie) as transformative, emphasizing its message about appreciating the true joys and things that matter in life, especially when faced with physical limitations. This leads to a discussion on the importance of being present in the now.
