About this listen

MOVIES HAVE THE ANSWERS turns your love of cinema into soul-stirring conversations about everything that makes us human. We dive deep into films that move us, shake us, and sometimes even heal us. This podcast is where movie quotes aren't just memorable lines – they're life advice in disguise. From unconditional family love in Mrs. Doubtfire to ride-or-die friendships in First Wives Club, and navigating heartbreak like in My Best Friend's Wedding – sometimes the best way to understand life is through the stories we see on screen. Fair warning: spoilers may be discussed.Trish G

  • Kindness Begets Kindness
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode, Rasheea shares how movies that showed kindness have helped her through her own life. For example, movies like PADDINGTON remind us that whenever we go through situations we don't understand or are having a rough time, we should "be kind and the world will be alright."

    Trish and Rasheea explore how kindness transforms lives and discuss how acceptance, empathy, and compassion create ripples of change through movies such as THE COLOR PURPLE, BEACHES, MASK, and RENT.

    Diving into these cinematic stories often mirrors real-life experiences, exploring themes of sacrifice, empathy, and how understanding someone's background helps us show greater compassion.

    These seeds of kindness, no matter how small, can create transformative change in our lives and communities.

  • Believe: The Magic Within Us
    Dec 24 2025

    What if the magic we're searching for has been within us all along? In this episode of MOVIES HAVE THE ANSWERS, Trish sits down with Avrah, to explore how we create the magic in our lives.


    Trish and Avrah dive into films that remind us the power of magic was always within us. From the childhood wonder and belief in The Polar Express to the self-discovery in The Wizard of Oz, the leap of faith in Field of Dreams, and the responsibility of creating magic in our favorite holiday movies - these stories show us that as adults, we don't lose the magic; we become the ones who create it.


    As Glinda tells Dorothy, "You've always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself."

  • Your Life Is A Movie, And You Are The Hero
    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode of MOVIES HAVE THE ANSWERS, Trish sits down with Amy, a former LA-based professional who recently made the bold decision to move back home to Australia to start a new chapter and be closer to family.

    Trish and Amy first worked together during the pandemic when they were navigating the unprecedented challenge of releasing theatrical movies when cinemas were shut down. That experience of adapting to unexpected circumstances became a preview for the discussion topic of this episode: learning to make bold decisions and trusting that things will work out.

    Drawing inspiration from the iconic film Dirty Dancing and Eleanor Bergstein's wisdom about being the hero of your own life story, this conversation explores what it means to make courageous choices, embrace change, and write your own narrative. Amy shares her journey of how we can all step into the starring role of our own stories.
