Episode 7: Tully -aka Juno grows up and goes through post partum depression

TRANSCRIPT HERE Today we get a little more serious and personal (than usual, what a dirge) and tackle the subject of postpartum mental illness by looking at 2018's Tully, directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. A film that hadn't really been made before... should you watch it or boycott it?Steph and Michael air some slightly soiled marriage laundry. Steph's vocal fry is on fire. Best quote of the episode is 'Film school bullshit. Dumb. Yuck.' 

CONTENT WARNING: birth trauma, psychosis, risk taking behaviour, mania, postpartum depression, brief mention of infanticide, lactation issues
