Episode notes

I've seen a lot of movies with characters who suffer from it. What's interesting about this par is that as it goes on, she gains strength nd and composure. She seems pretty calm about the whole thing. I remember talking to somebody about covid and how they were going through it, and they said it was really sad. But she said, like, i don't mind it. Before everybody was going out and going the bars and listening to music, and now i'm still not doing it."

David and Tamler sink deeper and deeper into Melancholia, Lars von Trier’s harrowing and stunningly beautiful depiction of depression, anxiety, and a wedding reception that just won’t end. They bring Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia” into the conversation and confront the question: what if the depressed and anxious people are right?

Plus Whoopi, M&Ms, baby brain waves, Rogan – we empty out the opening segment Slack.

Note: We recorded the opening segment before the latest development in the Joe Rogan story, but we briefly address that in the promo segment right after the break.
