  • Mini 12: The Stanford Prison Experiment

    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!

  • Episode 53: Gaslighting and Incels in Don't Worry Darling

    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.

  • Episode 52: We Need to Talk about Jordan B Peterson

    CW: discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation

    It's time that we talked about Dr. Jordan B Peterson....I spent quite a bit of time in this episode breaking down the different beliefs that Jordan Peterson espouses, the psychology theories he lives by, and his somewhat tumultuous start to his place in the public eye.

  • Episode 50: Alcoholism and Domestic Violence in The Shining

    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.

  • Episode 49: Trauma Responses and Recovered Memories in Gerald's Game

    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!
