Episode notes

Oscar's mom front loads his interactions with strangers and I think because of the collective grief of 9-11 a lot of people like kind of do a lot to try to help heal him. New York seems to be continuously bound in these moments of extreme grief like 9-11 and the early days of the pandemic so that there's just a fascination in that. Andrew: The movie almost had a sort of a comedic light-hearted moment aspect to it with these different individuals yeah.

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.
