Episode notes

The 60s were a tough time for troubled children. Suzy's mother was having an affair, and she found out about it in the middle of school. Hannah is not afraid of her parents getting divorced; back then that meant you could be ostracized from your entire city. There are behaviors that are unexplained by other things but when you look at adjustment disorder, it means something happened that caused these behaviors.

We are finally discussing our first Wes Anderson movie, Moonrise Kingdom! We focus on the two main characters, Suzy and Sam. We break down the movie’s idea of an “emotionally disturbed child” and discuss the following topics: intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder; as well as the significant impact of both characters’ home lives on their presentation in the world. So put on your khaki scout uniform and your favorite French pop record and join us!
