The Chronic Movie Lover
The Chronic Movie Lover is a podcast for those who know that movies and TV are more than just entertainment—they shape us, inspire us, and even save us. For me, they were an escape from the chronic pain I’ve lived with since I was nine. Films and TV shows became my sanctuary, a place to feel, dream, and connect. In this podcast, I share the movies and shows that changed my life, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think. I also talk about living with chronic pain, the lessons I’ve learned, and the ways pop culture intersects with life’s toughest challenges. Sometimes, I have guests to dive deeper into these conversations. If you love movies, TV, and real, honest storytelling—this is for you.

It’s Just a Movie? Let’s Talk About That
If you love film as much as I do, you’ve probably had this conversation before—someone shrugs off an emotional reaction, a debate about representation, or a discussion about deeper meanings by saying, ‘Relax, it’s just a movie.’ But here’s the thing: movies aren’t just movies. They shape culture, they influence how we see the world, and for some people—like me—they can be a lifeline. So today, we’re diving into why movies matter beyond entertainment and looking at films that have had real-world impact. Let’s get into it!"
