My Dear Readers (I mean listeners, you get it)
Welcome to a surprise episode of Psychocinematic, where we cast all serious topics to the wind and focus on what makes us feel safe and protected right now from a world falling apart - trashy, romancey, sexy, gossipy Bridgerton. But did you think I would NOT have disability and mental illness representation to discuss? THINK AGAIN - as usual it is inescapable.
Join me solo as I discuss all the disability and mental illness representation we have seen thus far, who we hope has a gay storyline, and who of the Bridgerton world could be coded neurodivergent. Also, the incredulity of turning Pitball into the soundtrack of the obligatory peak h0rny scene.
Content warning: sex, some ableism, some swears.

Join us for the last episode of the year with the vivacious comedian and musical theatre actor Lauren Edwards. Lauren and Steph bond over their shared experience with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and being backbrace girls in highschool. We go through the limited selection of scoliosis-based media until we get to the beloved comedy film Romy and Michele's Highschool Reunion (1997). Find out what makes the film so iconic and whether its brief but infamous depiction of scoliosis was helpful or harmful!
Also if anyone needs to make a call, I've got a phone.

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!

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.
Happy Halloween Psychocinemaniacs!!!

Chris takes us through the process of his acclaimed film Boldly Go (watch on ABC Iview here), what IBD and ostomy representation we've seen in the media, and finally how Pete Davidson has become a likely ambassador for Crohns representation, particularly seen in the film King of Staten Island.
For support and resources for those experiencing IBD, Chris recommends Crohns and Colitis Australia !

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.

This is no time for pettifogging! I am bombilating with anticipation to bring you the most impulsive, capricious and melodramatic episode yet! The scintillating winsome clinical psychologist Marie Camin joins Steph as they discuss with great vigour the beloved Schitts Creek. Marie shares her thoughts on who in the cast she would suggest is Neurodivergent, who she relates with the most, and how she approaches neurodiversity with her client base. Steph and Marie discuss the relationships on the show, how hard it is to appropriately diagnose autistic white cis professional males, and what exactly might be going on with Moira Rose (other than accusing David of being a disgruntled pelican).

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.

What do Moulin Rouge, My Private Idaho, and cheesy comedies Deuce Bigalow and Rat Race have in common? Terrible depictions of Narcolepsy!
Today, Steph is joined by the fashionably creative and wonderful Charlene Barker, to discuss her real life experience of Narcolepsy with Cataplexy, and how it is depicted in the romantic comedy Ode To Joy, starring Martin Freeman. Charlene takes us through what life is like with Narcolepsy and if this film does it justice. Can’t be worse than Rowan Atkinson falling asleep mid jog can it??? (p.s. You can watch Ode to Joy here on youtube for $4)
Follow Charlene @charlenegirl and check out her amazing handmade jewelry @langlesandlings and vintage preloved clothing @volupture!

Today Steph welcomes back Dr Elise McGlashan to chat deeply about one of her favourite TV shows, Please Like Me. The creation of one of Australia’s beloved comics, Josh Thomas, Please Like Me delves deeply on many mental health issues, including Bipolar Disorder, depression, anxiety, grief, suicide, self harm, as well as abortion, friendship and sexuality. But somehow it is also hilarious??? Join us as we assess how well Josh depicts these topics, and how much he reminds Steph of her husband.*
Please note we recorded this episode a few months back, it is no longer hot :( Also Debra Lawrence (Josh’s Mum) is now on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
*if you know Michael you know this is true.

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!
