Pack your emotional baggage and hop on this existential road trip with us as we delve into A Real Pain! We share our thoughts on the film – its gut-punching portrayal of grief, mental health and those complicated family dynamics that hit close to home. We draw from our backgrounds in anthropology and psychology (nerd alert!), discuss meaningful places and family homes, and offer some genealogy tips for beginners plus other must-watch recommendations. Grab your popcorn and maybe a therapy appointment – this one’s a deep dive!
