TRANSCRIPT HERE
In this episode, we compare literary and film classic One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, with the latest Netflix binger, Ratched. We take a good look at the history of mental health institutions and treatment along the way. Steph doesn’t say “on the nose” once this episode and apologizes for this profusely. Can you tell how much we liked Ratched?
Shout out to Cathy Watson, mental health nurse legend who we should have had as a guest on this episode!
Trigger/content warning: Suicide, ECT, lobotomies, sexual assault, physical assault, violence, gore, homophobia, childhood trauma, murder
(We also criticize Ratched for ableist language and then we use a bit of it ourselves, so we apologize and will do better next time.)
