My Life As A Movie
Join Michelle, Helen and Tracy each week as we review a movie from a 'human' point of view. We delve into what they reveal to us about ourselves, others and the world we live in. We talk about how movies and the power of storytelling can be used as a tool for greater self awareness, growth and even change.

Helen and Jacob discuss Ryan Reynold's latest action/comedy film: Free Guy. Shawn Levy takes the director's seat and delves into the world of MMORPGs with this cinematic perspective of the life of an online gamer. Reynolds plays the obliviously delighted Non-Playable Character - Guy - who spends the film searching for love and purpose in a world designed to prohibit him from having either. As the two talk about the film, they realise just how much deeper the themes and messages of the film go. The two come to a revelation that this seemingly one-note comedy film packs just a bit more of a philosophical punch. Nevertheless, both Helen and Jacob reveal what they found heartfelt, hilarious, and hard to appreciate about the newest blockbuster attempting to tackle the world of gaming.
