Are We Good? is a 2025 American documentary film following comedian Marc Maron after losing his partner and filmmaker, Lynn Shelton, at the height of the pandemic and his life afterwards in building his next hour of comedy. The documentary was created by Julie Seabaugh in May 2020 after the passing of Shelton, directed by Steven Feinartz, and produced by Feinartz, Ethan Goldman, and Seabaugh, who also served as story editor. It was distributed by Utopia and is streaming as part of the Criterion Collection.

The film features Marc Maron, Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, David Cross, W. Kamau Bell, Laurie Kilmartin, Brendan McDonald, Sam Lipsyte, Caroline Rhea, Michaela Watkins, Jessica Kirson and Gary Gulman.

The film premiered at SXSW and Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary had its public release just as Maron's sixteen year podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, came to an end. Executive produced by Ray Maiello, Dan Baglio, Rob Guillermo, Guilhad Emilio Schenker and Gideon Tadmor.
