Should you listen to the podcast, “The Shrink Next Door,” before you sit down with the tv+ show of the same name? It’s probably OK that you don’t, but the comparison is interesting.

Oh, wait, you’re not here for a dissertation on adaptations across media. You’re here to find out if the Mandys agree on it. Well, the editors have told us we have to stop giving away those kinds of teasers in the episode notes, so you’re not going to hear it from me. I’m not even going to tell you that they’ve committed to watching more episodes than the eps they watched for this podcast. Why would I tell you that?? That’s tantamount to giving away the secret altogether! Only a real rube would pull that… or… someone with an ax to grind, I guess.
