In this episode, Caitlin talks with Simon and Eleanor about The Adderall Diaries, the A24 adaptation of Stephen Elliott’s memoir of the same name, starring James Franco, Ed Harris, Amber Heard, and Christian Slater.

We talk a lot about the ethics of art, artists, and media in this one, so buckle up and listen to us get philosophical.

The Adderall Diaries is currently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi, Fandango, Pluto TV, Xumo Play, and Plex.
