CW: discussion of police brutality
This week's mini-episode focuses on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. This is a classic experiment that most people learn about during intro to psychology courses. But usually, that isn't enough to cover all the wild details of this experiment. I try to break it all down on this installment!

CW: discussion of mass murder and suicidal behavior
The most dramatic movie of the year: Don't Worry Darling! In this episode, I talk about how the film illustrates multiple types of gaslighting, specifically racialized gaslighting. I also talk about incels, their ideology, and how Jordan B. Peterson is connected to this film.

CW: childhood physical abuse, domestic violence
The next installment of Halloween-themed episodes looks at another Stephen King book/film, The Shining. This episode covers facts about alcohol use disorder, including re3lapse rates and the danger of delirium tremens. It also looks at the role isolation plays in domestic violence. Plus I cover the extensive workplace harassment Shelley Duvall experienced during the filming of the movie.

CW: childhood sexual abuse, trauma
The next installment of Halloween-themed episodes looks at trauma in the Stephen King book/film, Gerald's Game. This is a very intense piece of work that serves as an illustration of trauma responses. I also take a look at the research on recovered memories and center this story in the context of the 1990s, coming out of the heels of the Satanic Panic and smack dab in the middle of the Woody Allen trial. Suffice it to say, it's a doozy of an episode!
