Listen to this episode twice and call us in the morning! That's just a joke and is not medical advice. But we ARE talking about Soderbergh's 2013 pharmaceutical thriller SIDE EFFECTS today, with our friend poet/podcaster/famous celebrity Jane Altoids! Topics may include: Hitchcock, the history of madness, women being called crazy, big pharma, our own experiences with mental illness, Blake Lively, Soderbergh's then-impending retirement, the asylum and the prison, the mad rights movement, CONTAGION, and more. Give it a listen!
