This week on Hear Me Out Podcast, JayTee & Tim dive into one of the most emotional, soul-stirring coming-of-age films of our generation (and JayTee's favorite movie: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. From friendship and first love to trauma, healing, and the moments that make us feel infinite, this conversation unpacks why this movie hits so deeply — especially during Month of Gray. We’re breaking down our favorite scenes, the quote that changed us (“We accept the love we think we deserve”), and how Charlie’s journey mirrors the silent battles so many of us face in real life. Expect laughs, emotional honesty, some teenage angst, and a whole lot of nostalgia.
✨ In this episode:
• Why Perks still resonates over a decade later
• The tunnel scene + the “infinite” feeling
• Patrick, Sam & Charlie — the friend group we all needed
• Mental health themes and real-life reflections
• Our “Infinite Playlist” picks • A Hear Me Out style hot take debate
• And the messages we’d tell our younger selves
