It Gets Better is a movie podcast in which Liz Charboneau tries to rescue her film-bro friend Brian Abrams from the depths of esoteric Euro-trash cinema by making him binge one aggressively mainstream film franchise at a time (no Marvel). She wants him to feel something for the popcorn fare millions already love. His resistance is, to say the least, formidable. Logo by John Mathias
