When was the last time you cried at a movie? That’s a question posed toward the beginning of this Very Special episode of the SportsAlcohol.com podcast, in which Nathaniel, Marisa, Jesse, Sara, and Jon get personal about crying at movies (or TV shows): how often it happens, when we respect it and when we resent it, and why we react the way we do to certain types of emotional button-pushing (or lack thereof). Crying at movies is a near-universal topic, and we’ve tried to be very specific in our wide-ranging discussion that we promise is not a total bummer.

Jesse is a cofounder of SportsAlcohol.com even though he doesn't care for sports or alcohol. His favorite movie is Ron Howard's The Paper. I think. This is what happens when you don't write your own bio. I know for sure likes pie.

That Hamilton story is worse than Jesse describes. I don’t cry at movies or tv ever. I still, y’know, have feelings but I am very rarely moved to tears in general. We saw Hamilton and at the end I just started sobbing uncontrollably. I wasn’t trying to stifle it, it just came out of nowhere. Ugly, loud, disgusting crying, more than any funeral I’ve been to in my life. I had no idea what was going on with Jesse and I basically ran to the bathroom so he couldn’t see. We walked in silence for a couple of blocks when we left the theater.
