Finding Humor in Heartbreak—Marc Maron’s Boldest Story Yet
Marc Maron has always been brutally honest. Whether he's baring his soul on his WTF podcast or unraveling his neuroses on stage, he’s never been one to shy away from uncomfortable truths. But in the new documentary Are We Good? , we see a side of Maron that’s even more raw, intimate, and courageous—his grief. And yet, somehow, he still makes us laugh.

Directed by Steven Feinartz and edited by Derek Boonstra, the film digs deep into Maron’s experience with loss, love, and healing—all through the lens of stand-up comedy. Recently featured on the No Film School podcast, the creators open up about the emotionally complex journey behind the project and how they found a way to make grief not only palatable but genuinely funny.
The origin of Are We Good?
What’s remarkable is how seamlessly the film blends comedic timing with genuine emotional depth. The editorial process was key to shaping that tone. Sometimes the laughs came unexpectedly—emerging organically from the absurdity of grief itself. Other times, the film holds long silences, letting Maron’s heartbreak speak louder than words ever could.
Audiences have responded in powerful ways, with many viewers reaching out to share their own stories of loss. That feedback has validated the filmmakers’ instinct that authenticity is the most impactful storytelling tool. They weren’t just documenting a comedian—they were sharing a mirror of our own deeply human experiences.
This isn’t just a film for comedy fans or cinephiles—it’s a must-watch for anyone who’s ever had to carry on when the world falls apart. And that’s what Are We Good? really asks. Not just “Are we laughing?” but “Are we still standing?”
Marc Maron may not have all the answers, but his willingness to share the messy, awkward, and sometimes hilarious process of grief is a gift. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, we’re never really alone—and sometimes, the best way to heal is to find the joke buried inside the pain.
