Episode notes

Everybody, everybody just leaves. And again, weirdly, not with the sort of drama that you might expect at a hispaning or a jewish weddingwhere there might be more yelling at people. They just casually get in their cars and they have this exchange where he says, things could have been different. I mean, i read it straight forwardly as him really thinking that if she had merely chosen to not be depressed this this night, or these past few weeks, or in their courtship, it really could have worked out. We would have been the perfect couple. Don't you see that?

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.
