"It's almost like he's me saying well I love you mom but I can't," says actor. "I think even what I found to be really kind of loving and kind of magical was when she knows to wait like she knows that she might stop outside of the doorlike she again that idea that she understands him more than then he realizes right?" He adds: "Dad has been the one really holding that spot."

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.
