This film really is two characters, you know, as the subtitles might might leatest. The portrayal of just a real ne dear of depression where you're just not a functional human being is very effective and hard to watch. John Hur maybe that's what what makes me like t certr. He's a very charming drunk ah ye. But he's like you. Now, he can't get himself to do the right thing, in the same way that she can't get herself to do anything, really. And then there's this haunting shot of her just sitting on all these piled up chairs after the reads the note that her father left. They go riding their horses through the clouds

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.
