PSYCHOCINEMATIC

A Bridgerton Episode - Part 1: Actually so much representation (and also Pitbull)

TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://www.patreon.com/posts/transcript-part-105972148]   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.

Episode 67: Why Santa Claus IS Autistic, and making theatre more inclusive (With Oliver Hetherington-Page)

TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://www.patreon.com/posts/93737238?pr=true] 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!

Episode 65: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: The Haunting of Hill House, or, problems that could be solved by simply talking? (with Braaains Podcast)

TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://www.patreon.com/posts/92004181?pr=true]   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.
