Welcome everyone to a brand new challenge for the blog – Mae’s 31 Day Series Challenge for 2024! Similar to what I did with my gaming posts last month, this will be more of a monthly celebration of all things – well series related. Originally I was going to focus it solely on my favorite TV shows but then…I kept thinking about the shows solely on streaming services, as well as web series on platforms like YouTube – all of which I watch regularly. So I decided to combine them all in this month’s celebration 🙂 so don’t be surprised if these posts go all over the place as I talk about some of my favorites, some that may have strong impacts on me, or maybe even some coming down the pipe. Who knows! We’ll see where the night takes us haha. I’ll likely revisit the gaming challenge at some point and continue talking about even more games but for now let’s celebrate series media!
Day Twenty-Seven: Cinema Therapy
So I guess for today’s post, we’ll be talking about a full channel on YouTube who do a variety of series under the banner Cinema Therapy! Jonathan Decker (Licensed Therapist) loves to watch movies. Filmmaker Alan Seawright needs therapy. Together, they break down the world’s favorite movies and more, searching the characters, themes, and plots to find things you can use to improve mental health, life, and more. Join them weekly as they explore different series, including film dives, psychology of characters, heroes vs. villains deep dives, relationship health, and more! Together they bring their love of the crafts and join them together in a fun and creative way. And there’s also tears, mainly from Alan, especially when Pixar is involved.
They’ve been able to expand and showcase weekly topics on a variety of subjects, from feature films, television shows, even some anime. There isn’t a shortage of what they will explore, targeting those hard hitting topics that are essential to the stories presented and how it relates to the therapeutic journey. Their dives get you thinking, helping others see some topics that may be something they’ve never thought of before or truly saw in action that can relate to their own lives. And each video is thoroughly detailed and enjoyable, even featuring guests across the YouTube-sphere and even some directors, actors, and more that you may recognize.
I’ll place a couple of my favorite episodes here but do encourage folks to check out the channel and browse through some of the topics and see what piques your interest. There’s something for everyone 😉
Thanks so much for reading today’s post! They are a fun little channel and I totally recommend them – being able to dive into films and shows with this mindset has helped in my own growth in mental health and I truly think there’s something here for everyone ^^ lots of love and stay safe out there!
