TRANSCRIPT HERE Happy early Christmas Psychocinemaniacs! It's been a hell of a year, but one thing that brings us joy is the work of disabled creators blazing the trail in inclusivity, such as our guest Oliver Hetherington-Page. Oliver joins us to talk about how he's working to make theatre more inclusive and what that looks like, what he wants to see in autistic depictions on screen & stage, and why musicals are inherently autistic. He tells us all about his show the No Bang Theory and his upcoming show Santa Claus is Autistic, which is Christmas themed but also relevant all year round. To purchase tickets to Santa Claus is Autistic at the PiP theatre, in Milton, QLD (Meanjin) on the 7th, 15th and 23rd of December, click here!

TRANSCRIPT HERE Today we sit down with Sarah Langston, disabled single mum, artist, and disability advocate, and learn a bucketload about the barriers facing neurodivergent parents, particularly mothers, and how Sarah supports those parents. Sarah dives deep into the child protection system and how often disability is equated with parenting risk, leading to reporting rather than supporting neurodivergent parents. And then we relate this somehow to the 2000 legal drama Erin Brockovich? WELL YES, as you'll soon discover!

TRANSCRIPT HERE In a perfect meeting of minds, Steph is joined by Braaains podcast hosts Heather and Sarah Taylor, sisters of podcasting, filmmaking and mental health & disability awareness. Which means of course it’s just a light casual chat about the devastatingly terrifying Mike Flanagan series The Haunting of Hill House. We get deep into what makes this show so affecting, what it says about trauma and family’s tendencies to deal with it in all the wrong ways, and how we see our own family in the triumphantly dysfunctional Crains.

TRANSCRIPT HERE Steph is thrilled to be joined by one of her favourite podcasters from one of her favourite podcasts, Alex Steed from You Are Good. He is good! You are Good is good. All goodness all the time. Steph and Alex discuss the 2018 version of an oft told tale, A Star Is Born, where Bradley Coopers fame story is winding down as Lady Gaga’s is just beginning. We discuss the depictions of addiction and treatment; asking the question- should a therapist laugh at a patient’s botched suicide attempt story? Join us as we dissect the supposedly great love story behind the film, the toxicity of the entertainment industry, and whether we can truly separate mental illness from shitty relationship behaviour.

TRANSCRIPT HERE We’re back to our regular programming with a fun debate between a future psychiatrist and a psychologist, as Michael Watson joins Steph to talk Stutz, the Netflix documentary “about” Dr Phil Stutz created by Jonah Hill. Steph & Michael discuss how the unique revolutionary techniques Stutz employs aren’t quite so unique or revolutionary, and what Jonah was trying and succeeding to portray from this film. BUTTT OF COURSE within the context of the wild and gross texts that Jonah’s ex Sarah Brady shared from the actor in July this year. What do the texts say about how effective the therapy portrayed in Stutz actually is? And what actually IS a boundary?

TRANSCRIPT HERE Our 2nd tribute episode to our beloved Nic Fornasier is here, with a special release from the Patron archives. Nic joined Steph to gush about Chris Cunningham and his controversial (and deeply problematic) short film, Rubber Johnny. Nic shares why he loves it so much and how it inspired his own passion for film, as well as highlights the exciting time of early 00's music videos. Then of course Steph shares why it’s such a yucky depiction of disability and debate exactly how problematic it is. Nic's love for Chris Cunningham doesn't diminish but he learns a thing or two about disability representation maybe? Watch the short film Rubber Johnny, with music by Aphex Twin, directed by Chris Cunningham. Content warning: abuse, chemical restraint/prn due to behaviour, drug use, disability used as horror, discussion of visual gore and ableist tropes. Nothing bad happens to the dog.

TRANSCRIPT HERE Today we pay tribute to brother and editor of the podcast Nic Fornasier (11.10.1990 – 22.6.2023). We release in one episode, 2021’s originally 2 parter episode, where Nic joins Steph as they explore the dysfunctional family opus, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Directed by Wes Anderson and written by Wes and Owen Wilson, it was Nic and Steph’s shared favourite film of all time. Together they asked the question, can narcissistic dads who abandon their kids make up for the resulting trauma? And if so does this movie portray this situation with nuance and respect? Steph and Nic do their best at diagnosing the characters, discuss how the family relates to their own lives, and whether the Wes-isms in the film are helpful or harmful for the viewer. We dedicate this episode to Nic. We love you Niccie.

TRANSCRIPT HERE Welcome to the kooky world of the Addams family - or an allegory for the neurodivergent experience?? The viral tiktoker and film maker Jeremy Andrew Davis joins Steph to talk about Netflix's Wednesday (2022), and how much Wednesday is coded autistic, whether intentionally or not... or is she coded something else? Jeremy delves into the importance of appropriate representation in film & TV, what it means for a representation to be coded or canonized, and how writing a neurodivergent character led to his own diagnosis. Also Siri adds her own opinions in the mix, which are scarily appropriate.

TRANSCRIPT HERE WOW WELCOME TO EPISODE 50! So completely chuffed that we achieved this milestone! *FANFARE AND STREAMERS* The fabulously articulate (it’s his job) Clinton McQueen joins us to unpack in great detail the legacy of Americas Next Top Model, specifically Cycle 11. We discuss how the series perpetuated beauty and body standards, and tackled issues of race, gender, sexuality, mental illness and disability. We also unpack how they portrayed the inclusion of first transgender model on the series (Isis King) and what it meant for the world. Because as you should know, trans women are women, and trans lives matter. To rewatch the ANTM season (if you so choose) click here! Please note we recorded this episode before the abhorrent Anti-trans and Nazi attended March occurred in Melbourne and only make note of the anti-trans movements occurring overseas. I very much wish I didn’t have to make this note. CONTENT WARNING: body image and fat phobia, transphobia, homophobia, and sex work stigma, ableist language. Clinton and Steph do get a few pronouns and terms wrong despite attempts to do so (we refer to James St James as ‘he’ however he identifies with all pronouns). Follow Clinton @boyblinkquick on insta and find out if he ups his selfie game! Follow Psychocinematic on Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok! or join our Facebook Group!
