PSYCHOCINEMATIC

TRANSCRIPT HERE

Our lovely guest host Clary Garrett starts off our episode by generously discussing her experience with perinatal depression, anxiety and psychosis, and what it was like to re-visit her experience while filming You Can’t Ask That on ABC. Clary and Steph then get deep into the depiction of postnatal depression on Netflix’s Big Mouth spinoff series, Human Resources. Do we overthink it too much, or just enough?
