    Feb 14 2024
    [CW: Discussions of predatory relationships including references to assault]
    This year's winner of our Valentine's Day poll is Never Been Kissed! Listener beware if you are precious about this movie because we truly rip it apart. We first break down the characters of Josie and Rob. We discuss the potential of neurodivergence in regards to Josie and the impact of failed dreams via Rob. We spend a good chunk of this episode focusing on the predatory and reprehensible relationship between Josie AND A MAN WHO THINKS SHE IS A TEENAGER! So hang on to your favorite feather boa, cuz this is gonna be a bumpy ride.

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Why You Need Your Memories

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Why You Need Your Memories
    Feb 1 2024
    Would it be better to forget than remember when pain is involved? We try to answer that question in our PATREON picked episode on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We analyze the two main characters: Clementine & Joel. We also rip apart the ethics (or lack thereof) behind the “medical professionals” responsible for the forgetting procedure. Join us as we try to outrun the memory police!

    Thank you, Kayla!

Great Concept, Terrific Execution

This is a podcasting idea that's been used before: deconstruct a movie using mental health concepts. This is the best I've encountered. the podcasters invest about 2 hours diagnosing characters with mental health conditions, discussing the rationale behind the diagnosis, and discussing how the characters would be treated in therapy. There is great rapport between the 3 hosts. They obviously know each other well. There banter provides an underlying humor to their narrative. This podcast is clever entertainment even if the listener isn't interested in mental health or psychology.
