Ever wonder why some movies hit you right in the feels while others barely graze the surface? In this episode of The Story Better Podcast, we take a look at the world of slice-of-life movies—the ones that sneak up on you with their quiet brilliance and unforgettable characters. We break down the highs, the lows, and the midlife crises of fictional heroes so relatable that they might as well be you (or your buddy Mark, who still hasn’t figured out how to parallel park). From The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to Pixar's deepest cut, we dissect the emotional gut-punch moments, the subtle character arcs, and the hero’s journeys that show us how to face our own messy, complicated lives. With a mix of humor, pop culture love, and a few rabbit trails into why Disney and Marvel executives need therapy, we’ll show you how to learn from these characters—and maybe even rewrite your own story. Because every person deserves a better narrative. And sometimes, all it takes is a great movie, a good laugh, and a little introspection to get there.
