Jen and Tim take a look at an exploration of trauma anchored by an incredible Jennifer Jason Leigh performance, Heart of Midnight!

The writer/director, Matthew Chapman, wrote the screenplay for Color of Night, but don’t hold that against him! See some of his unproduced material at The Blacklist. 

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is an excellent treatise on what we know about trauma, the human brain, and addressing the treatment needs of people suffering from people with PTSD. Visit van der Kolk’s website to read an interview about the book. 

For some insight into Jennifer Jason Leigh’s process as an actor, read her conversation with John Turturro for Interview magazine in 1996. 

OH SHIT we totally forgot to mention in the episode that the film’s score is by Yanni. Do people remember Yanni? It’s a pretty good score, too! 

We will be phasing out our $2 tier in June! If you’d like to stick around for more demented media and special guests, Patreon has instructions on how to edit your pledge.
