As we prepare for our 100th episode next week, we decided to switch things up with another movie review...and it's f*cked up, Daisy! Listen as we break down the Oscar-nominated film adaptation of Susanna Kaysen's 1992 memoir, Girl Interrupted (1999, dir. James Mangold) and tie it into our own experiences in psychiatric institutions. Side topics include mental health in the 60s, our thoughts on Angelina Jolie's magnetic (and slightly triggering) performance, racism and sexism in the context of the time period and what has and hasn't changed, normalization of neurodivergence, psych ward movie tropes, and soooo many tangents. Lauren takes the Pickle Palate Cleanser to the next level and hilarity ensues. Enjoy!
