"This is like Batman is suicide all over," he says of the movie. "I just really shit on, you all just really get shit on believing that that movie is free." Ben Affleck plays a man with recurrent major depressive disorder who has to give up his life for someone else's happiness. The film was directed by Tom Hanks and co-written by Aaron Sorkin.

In our final episode of Season 1 we discuss the life and trials of George Bailey and attempt to answer the question of whether "Wonderful" is a fair assessment. We debate whether George's symptoms are primarily based in depression or anxiety as well as debate the co-morbidity of depression, anxiety, and trauma. We detail the treatments available to help George as he faces his existential crisis. Tune in to find out more and Happy Holidays to all!
