LATEST EPISODE

It’s been a tough year, so the Film Swap podcast is doing what cinema does best — bringing people together. In this special Feel Good Film Festival episode, we’re joined by returning guests Brad McDermott and David Blakeslee to share four films that lift the spirits without ignoring the world.

From classic Hollywood warmth and impeccably crafted mystery, to acts of radical generosity and a road trip that sparks an awakening of empathy, these films remind us why cinema still matters. We discuss what “feel good” really means, how kindness can be quietly subversive, and why comfort films don’t have to be shallow or sentimental.

Featured films include The Shop Around the Corner, Death on the Nile (1978), The Motorcycle Diaries, and Babette’s Feast — stories shaped by human connection, moral clarity, and moments of grace.

A holiday-season conversation about compassion, community, and why sometimes the most restorative films are the ones that believe in people.
