We are a small, independently produced and managed podcast. Our only goal for the show is to entertain our listeners. That being said, we also are fully aware of the atrocities occurring here in America every day. Those who find solace in the MAGA agenda and this current administration have no place in our community and we do not want their patronage nor downloads. Immigrants, LGBT+, non-Americans, and anyone who supports diversity and inclusivity, you have our support.
A NOTE FROM THE HOSTS:
10 years ago on August 15th, 2016, we began our journey building a playlist of films with cliffhanger, downbeat, and upsetting endings with the caveat of discovering a silver lining for each and every one. In our anniversary special, we’re looking back at the podcast’s journey to make it to this incredible milestone, revisiting some unforgettable moments, and celebrating everything in our show’s legacy. Thank you so much for all of your support over the past decade. We look forward to many more years of covering some of cinema’s bleakest endings. Listen wherever you get podcasts or watch the YouTube video here.
THE SILVER LININGS PLAYLIST'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL IS OUT NOW!
LATEST EPISODE
Episode 229: Predestination
August 31st 2026
Time travel, destiny, and predetermination – it’s all on display in 2014’s Predestination. A small film with big ideas riding on the coattails of Primer, Inception, and a lot of other time related movies that came before it, there’s so much to unpack in what essentially is two movies attached at the hip to one another. So grab your favorite bottle of scotch and get ready for twist after twist as we try to unravel the mystery of who The Unmarried Mother is, plus topics like our…unique rules for time travel, Australian currency exchange rates, boob-shaped bells, and so much more await in our “last” episode of the show. We are Forrest Gump, we carry the flame!
Predestination stars Christopher Kirby, Noah Taylor, Sarah Snook, Ethan Hawke, and Madeleine West. Directed by Michael & Peter Spierig.
