Episode notes

"I could see this thing being six or eight episodes because I would love to be far more with Oscar and his journey," she says. "There's the disappearing grandmother I really want to know more about her." She adds that in a movie they sort of sacrifice all of that for a twist ending so they want it to be this big third act reveal, which isn't what happened.

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.
