Episode notes

It's like the depression has now entered it was just in her, and now it's in the movie. I'm not tempted to read it that way for whatever reason,. Even though i tend to like in a dream like or no metaphorical readings of things. Some people feel like the planet colliding with earth and the end of all life. And is a metaphor. Yes, that's fi'm trying to get at there. Ah, but i can see how would be a take on depression that a depressed person might want to put oute. Ye, that's the word that that the movie is now saddled with the weight that she was saddled with during the first part.

David and Tamler sink deeper and deeper into Melancholia, Lars von Trier’s harrowing and stunningly beautiful depiction of depression, anxiety, and a wedding reception that just won’t end. They bring Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia” into the conversation and confront the question: what if the depressed and anxious people are right?

Plus Whoopi, M&Ms, baby brain waves, Rogan – we empty out the opening segment Slack.

Note: We recorded the opening segment before the latest development in the Joe Rogan story, but we briefly address that in the promo segment right after the break.
