"I'm also a huge crier um if you guys had to figure that out yet I cry about everything so um but I think what was really nice about seeing it this time is that it's uh been far enough away that it feels a little bit different," she said. "To watch anything that feels genuine from a kid's point of view always feels really good because I feel like they have voices that often get drowned out by adults on such a regular basis."

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.
