Episode notes

Oscar is trying to make meaning of this massive event that upended not only his life, but the entire city and country that he calls home. He has to do it in his own individual way. One thing I noticed was the day of what he calls the worst day, is he's kind of still going through his routine,. On the way home, while everyone around him is kind of chaotic. And even when he comes home to his building, any season's news, Norman played by John Goodman will be there.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
