June Grab Bag of Mystery: Cinema Therapy in THE GOOD PLACE

I will confess that when I was in Italy for a 3-week study abroad in college, a bunch of us did go to McDonalds the first time we were on our own for dinner, but that was because we had gone to the same kind of Italian restaurants for the past several days, and we wanted a break. 😅

My good place house is carpeted, wheelchair accessible, good WiFi, self cleaning bathroom and kitchen, always toasty warm. The way I would know it’s the bad place, my feet would always be too cold

My Bad Place phrase: "I/you/we/they felt some kind of way." *WHAT* kind of way? That doesn't tell me _anything,_ except that the person using it is too cowardly to share their feelings! ARGH! 🤬 😁💙

My bad place is *gestures wildly* all this crap going on in the US. I'm actively being tortured by watching it but having no power to change it 😭

My bad place is: trying to Screen Mirror to watch my Cinema Therapy Patreon on the big screen, but only the audio syncs with the TV 😤

Personal vote: I liked the old logo and intro music better. It has big nostalgia for me by now!

This was delightful, thank you!!

Not me, realizing I said “Yuck your yum” earlier today 😅

There are home made ice-cream shops, but all the ice cream is made with Coconut milk.

My bad place will always be the Twilight Zone episode, “A Nice Place to Visit”

Also, Emily! "Created by no one competent." LIES. You're awesomely competent and the literal best. Thank you for all the work and effort you put into making these two goofballs look good 😊.

I'm not sure I'd even want a house in the good place. I'd love a nice glade with shade and a pool to swim in, then I'd just go visit indoor places with the things I want.

I totally agree with Alan that fusion places suck. I want authentic all the time (and halal, if restaurants could just be halal I'd be soooo happy).

i'm gonna grab your bag while i say this... (sorry i wanted to join in on the dirty jokes)

My good place masquerading as the bad place: you need to drive by car everywhere (I hate driving), no public transport and only one seat in every car so you can't car share or call a taxi. Second: Everyone is super nice but everytime I do something not perfectly or just not the "right" way someone will come up to me and tell me how I actually am supposed to do it... you know... constructive criticism so I can become a better version of myself because everyone just wants the best for me

My good place house would grow as needed. Someone coming over? Sprout a guest room! Wanna watch a movie? Theater is the exact size to fit whoever you've got over. The kitchen is perfect size to not be cramped (allowing people to pass by without squeezing) but still small enough to instantly put your hands on the next ingredient. Biggest thing is that it's self-cleaning. Dishes, ingredients, whatever are all right at your fingertips when you want them. And there's no dust and crud that builds up in the corners. Clothes are always clean and fit perfectly. My library would have that book that fits my mood right where I reach for it, and a snuggly, comfy chair that fits both me and my doggo, with the perfect snack right on the table beside me. And regardless of the snack, no dust or grease or whatever stays on my fingers so I don't have to wipe (or lick 😇) my fingers before turning a page. The bad place masquerading as the good place would also always boil (heh) down to temperature for me. It would always be juuuuust too warm and slightly too humid or just cold enough where I have to put on a sweater or something where the sleeves get in the way. Another thing would be clothes that are perfectly soft and comfortable when I put them on but about a minute later, something about the shirt rubs that spot on the inside of my elbow that irritates. And the neck of the shirt rubs against the back of my neck. And leggings that feel like hugs on my legs start feeling like they're too-tight sausage casings after a bit. Those tiny, niggling things that don't even really quite register but just make existing IRRITATING.

My good place would have multiple brunch restaurants. But my bad place masquerading as the good place would have them all close at like noon/1pm. Why do so many diners do that??? I want breakfast food and mimosas for dinner!!😂

I once threw my (empty) water bottle at a person at the movie theatre who filmed the movie with her phone. Does that land me in the good place or the bad place? 😅

I do wish there were more theaters with the pre-recliner seats in good condition. Near me there is Jordan's Furniture IMAX which has great seats and butt kickers under each one. Only problem is it is first come first serve on seats. I do not like going back from reserved seating.

My bad place library would have a room worthy of belle from beauty and the beast except all of my books are just barely too tall to fit in the bookcase 🤣

I am also already there- in theory I live in Europe, but in fact it’s the Balkans 😂😂

I loved the description Jono gave for his good place house. Having said that... I would need a library. I've dreamed so long of being able to settle into a dream house with the perfect library of my books to read. If it were the bad place... my library would be filled with Twilight and similar level horrible writing 😂. Oh, the overstuffed chair of my dreams would have a spring or something in that would make it impossible to properly cuddle in with my books.

Alan's interpretation of the recliner chairs in movie theaters... 👌🏼💯💀

I can hear the exhaustion in Jono's voice 😢 I've been in the "extreme caffeination but nothing's working" place as Alan. Brilliant ideas! 🤣 I love the temperature being the signal that everything is off. I feel that in my soul

We made a thing from Cyrano edit was perfect, thank you so much lol

I'm already there. My coworkers are great, my bosses genuinely like what I have to say... buuuut I work in a trauma hospital, and some dingus has allowed TikTok Mommies and RFK to influence my industry. And I'm not allowed to give people a Cher smack and tell them to "SNAP OUT OF IT!"

I think for me a small bad place indicator would be able to have any puzzle/lego set/board game you want, but there is always a piece missing. its not always the same piece or missing from the same game, but you can never 100% complete whatever you are trying to do

In the bad place, I'd always encounter someone driving the speed limit exactly or 5 under and there's no way to pass them. In the good place, the temperature is never above 75 and if it's above 70 there's always a cool breeze.

Alan's description of the bad place movie theatre made me feel SO UNCOMFORTABLE 😫 and the edit of bad place slang "I did a thing" immediately to Alan saying "we did a thing, we made a thing!" lol

Idea for next April First, you guys replace the good movie posters you have with the bad movie posters.
