My Dear Readers (I mean listeners, you get it)
Welcome to a surprise episode of Psychocinematic, where we cast all serious topics to the wind and focus on what makes us feel safe and protected right now from a world falling apart - trashy, romancey, sexy, gossipy Bridgerton. But did you think I would NOT have disability and mental illness representation to discuss? THINK AGAIN - as usual it is inescapable.
Join me solo as I discuss all the disability and mental illness representation we have seen thus far, who we hope has a gay storyline, and who of the Bridgerton world could be coded neurodivergent. Also, the incredulity of turning Pitball into the soundtrack of the obligatory peak h0rny scene.
Content warning: sex, some ableism, some swears.

Join us for the last episode of the year with the vivacious comedian and musical theatre actor Lauren Edwards. Lauren and Steph bond over their shared experience with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and being backbrace girls in highschool. We go through the limited selection of scoliosis-based media until we get to the beloved comedy film Romy and Michele's Highschool Reunion (1997). Find out what makes the film so iconic and whether its brief but infamous depiction of scoliosis was helpful or harmful!
Also if anyone needs to make a call, I've got a phone.

Deenie by Judie Blume (1973), Looking for Mr Goodbar (1977), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), The House Bunny (2008), Kiss Me (2014).

Happy early Christmas Psychocinemaniacs! It's been a hell of a year, but one thing that brings us joy is the work of disabled creators blazing the trail in inclusivity, such as our guest Oliver Hetherington-Page. Oliver joins us to talk about how he's working to make theatre more inclusive and what that looks like, what he wants to see in autistic depictions on screen & stage, and why musicals are inherently autistic. He tells us all about his show the No Bang Theory and his upcoming show Santa Claus is Autistic, which is Christmas themed but also relevant all year round.
To purchase tickets to Santa Claus is Autistic at the PiP theatre, in Milton, QLD (Meanjin) on the 7th, 15th and 23rd of December, click here!
CONTENT WARNING: some discussion of ableism

In a perfect meeting of minds, Steph is joined by Braaains podcast hosts Heather and Sarah Taylor, sisters of podcasting, filmmaking and mental health & disability awareness. Which means of course it’s just a light casual chat about the devastatingly terrifying Mike Flanagan series The Haunting of Hill House. We get deep into what makes this show so affecting, what it says about trauma and family’s tendencies to deal with it in all the wrong ways, and how we see our own family in the triumphantly dysfunctional Crains.
Happy Halloween Psychocinemaniacs!!!

Just in time for Invisible Disabilities Week; Steph is blessed to have the talented filmmaker Chris Cosgrove today to discuss all things Inflammatory Bowel Disease and his personal experience with Crohn's disease. Chris takes us through the process of his acclaimed film Boldly Go (watch on ABC Iview here), what IBD and ostomy representation we've seen in the media, and finally how Pete Davidson has become a likely ambassador for Crohns representation, particularly seen in the film King of Staten Island.
For support and resources for those experiencing IBD, Chris recommends Crohns and Colitis Australia !
CONTENT WARNING: medical discussion (including blood, surgery and poo!) - if you're a tad squeamish this may not be your episode, however we do provide a couple of warnings before we go into details.

This is no time for pettifogging! I am bombilating with anticipation to bring you the most impulsive, capricious and melodramatic episode yet! The scintillating winsome clinical psychologist Marie Camin joins Steph as they discuss with great vigour the beloved Schitts Creek. Marie shares her thoughts on who in the cast she would suggest is Neurodivergent, who she relates with the most, and how she approaches neurodiversity with her client base. Steph and Marie discuss the relationships on the show, how hard it is to appropriately diagnose autistic white cis professional males, and what exactly might be going on with Moira Rose (other than accusing David of being a disgruntled pelican).
CONTENT WARNING: some discussion of ableism/ misinformation about autism & adhd
