TRANSCRIPT HERE

PART 1 OF 2!

Brother of the podcast and editor Nic Fornasier joins Steph as they explore the dysfunctional family opus, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), directed by Wes Anderson and written by Wes and Owen Wilson.

Together they ask 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? There is literally no way of knowing, except to listen to this episode, in two parts!

Part 1 focuses on the various mental illnesses of the Tenenbaum family and how they relate to Nic and Steph's own lives. Part 2 will be delivered to you on Friday 16th April. Enjoy!

CONTENT WARNING: Suicide, substance use and addiction (including personal experiences), depression, self harm, childhood emotional manipulation and neglect, cancer, discussions of sexual content, death of a family member, death of a dog, incest??

NOTE: This podcast is not designed to be therapeutic, prescriptive or constitute a formal diagnosis for any listener, nor the characters discussed. The host is not representative of all psychologists and opinions stated are her own personal opinion, based on her own learnings and training (and minimal lived experience). Host and co-hosts do not have the final say and can only comment based on their own perspectives, so please let us know if you dispute any of these opinions – we are keen for feedback!
