"The Hangover"
07/31/23 • 44 min
Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, our summer party continues with "The Hangover." This 2009 comedy is the first of three and where we meet Doug, Alan, Phil, Stu and of course Mr. Chow. While the sound track is nostalgic, some of the jokes are a little *yikes.* We discuss Alan's behavior and social challenges as well as the abusive relationship between Stu and Melissa. Dr. Furey gives us the schoop on drugs and alcohol and we discuss serotonin syndrome. Sit back, grab some popcorn and your old "NOW" album from 2009. We hope you enjoy!

Dr. Katrina Furey: Of us, like, almost 15 years ago.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Wow.
Dr. Katrina Furey: It's hard to believe. It feels like just yesterday people were wearing Allen Halloween costumes with a baby and a baby beyond.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I went to Las Vegas in 2000, and maybe, like, eleven, and I have a picture with a street performer, model performer of being Alan, like, holding a baby.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Did you go there because of this movie?
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, I didn't. I went there with my in laws, so not for we actually went there for Thanksgiving.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, that's an interesting Thanksgiving destination.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, I like that. Yeah, it was totally different. It was hot. The food was delicious. We went to, like, brunch somewhere.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Was it like a buffet?
Dr. Katrina Furey: Brunch?
Dr. Katrina Furey: Vegas has a lot of those.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't think it was a buffet, but I think it was just, like.
Dr. Katrina Furey: A nice just nice.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah.
Dr. Katrina Furey: The only times I've been to Vegas were in childhood for dance competitions, like nationals. We went twice. So it's like, me, my family, my grandma was there both times, and we're just, like, trucking along. She's in her walker, and we did, like, children things.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Interesting.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Wow.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, we we I was just, you know, of age or a little, you know, a little bit after, but it was it was a pretty typical Vegas experience.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Right.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You know, unfortunately drank too much of the Kool Aid and felt so horrible.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Like these characters.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like these characters. It was obviously a little bit more embarrassing because I wasn't there with friends.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, yeah, you're in love.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Fun story. I remember calling my mom because, of course, this is just how it goes. You tend to turn up the most the night before you have to go home. Don't do that, please. And so I remember there was a lot of vomiting.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, God, Porsche. You love that.
Dr. Katrina Furey: I know.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's my favorite thing. And I called my mom from the airport crying because I was so upset. I felt so horrible, and I was sick, and she was so mad at me. I guess as one would be of your daughter who's away with like well.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I guess back then they weren't your in laws yet, probably, right?
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, it was like maybe two years in.
Dr. Katrina Furey: Was this like ...

"White Lotus" Season 2
Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are analyzing "White Lotus" Season 2. In this season we follow Tanya and Greg to beautiful Sicily where the water is a dreamy blue and the passion red hot. This season has received 23 Emmy nominations and we think they deserve them all! We continue to analyze Tanya for a personality disorder, discuss the power and currency of sex, and talk all things complicated relationships. If you are missing this season come along with us to admire the clothing, food and of course their mental health. We hope you enjoy!
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts.

Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better.

Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And your DSM Five, and enjoy.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Welcome back to another episode of Analyze Scripts. Today we are covering White Lotus, season two. I'm so excited. The scenery is beautiful. They're in Italy.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh, my gosh.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I just want to be there.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: You've been to Italy?
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I have that part or a different no. So I think this is in Sicily.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So I visited Naples and then Positano and Capri.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh, wow. Oh. Was it like this?
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was literally everything of the sort. Like, stunning, beautiful, incredible. The food I could write home about every day. Just the most beautiful, stunning place ever I've been.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I mean, that reads true in this series. It looks so beautiful.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I definitely want to go there. I noticed, too, in season one of White Lotus, right, there's a lot of cuts of the water, the waves crashing, that the water scene often either comes out of or into another scene of a person. It kind of fades into the scene of underwater or something. So I think that's like an interesting.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And sometimes it would be like the waves are slowly, gently crashing. Other times, there's a big crash. And I feel like that was purposeful and sort of played into the scene or what's going on with the then, you know, spoiler alert. Tanya eventually dies in the water.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The water takes her.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: The water takes her. She almost made it. Like, I thought she was going to make it, and then she slips.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that was they said the writer director was commenting on how it was so important for him that Tanya did not die at the hands of someone else, that she still was kind of able like, she still was in charge even though she slipped and died, but he didn't want her being killed. Know the quote unquote gaze?
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes.
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, my gosh.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So let's just jump right in, I think, with Tanya. Yes. So we talked a little bit about our feelings toward her last time we recapped season one. We talked a lot about how she displays some traits and characteristics of borderline personality disorder and how the character talks about how her mother actually also had borderline personality disorder. Did you feel, Portia, like that was consistent in season two or I think so, yeah. What did you notice?
Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So I think, again, her interpersonal experiences with both Greg with know, fun to see my name in the light, for one. She just seems to really be only thinking about. Right. So, like can't hear Portia. They were having a conversation. We were talking about this before the podcast. And it's like she almost like tunes her. It's kind of is talking over her. Just goes back to her. Right, right. She can't even hear Portia. I think she's asking for a day off to Albie.
Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, there was that scene where Portia was like, I know I'm kind of on the clo...

"Barbie"
Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are thrilled to analyze Greta Gerwig's BILLION DOLLAR HIT "Barbie." We analyze the film's smart, timely, and campy explorations of femininity and masculinity. We loved exploring Barbie's evolution through a developmental lens and decided that therapists are basically "weird Barbies" helping our patients grow into their most authentic selves. We loved the sprinkling in of so many dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) principles, and the tender moments depicting evolving mother-daughter relationships. Plus, we could watch Ryan Gosling beach all day. We loved this movie and hope you enjoy this episode!
[00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Furey, a psychiatrist.
[00:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker.
[00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows.
[00:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends.
[00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there and it drives us nuts.
[00:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like.
[00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better.
[00:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn.
[00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Welcome back to another episode of a podcast hosted by Two Wise Trees. If you didn't catch that reference, we are obviously talking about the new Greta Gerwig film, Barbie. And that was a line in the film at one point, and I just chuckled. Know, we have a podcast now and we're covering it. And we went to the movies all for this. And it was just funny.
[01:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And we are two trees basically rooted.
[01:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: Firmly into the ground.
[01:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Secure.
[01:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: Secure. Stable. Nourishing. With our branches.
[01:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Fruitful.
[01:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: Fruitful. Nice. With our branches just growing and blossoming into the sky where it takes us. I know it could have been a haiku. So anyway, we are really excited to talk about this film today. As it stands right now, we are filming or filming we are recording this episode in late July, and I checked the stats yesterday. Barbie has grossed already over $500 million worldwide.
[01:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's incredible.
[01:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: Incredible. Especially because it's like double what Oppenheimer has grossed. We will also be covering that film a little later on. So that makes me really happy. Yeah, I was really excited when we went to the movies, Portia. And it was packed, packed, packed. Mostly women, but some men as well. And it was a matinee. We went at 01:00. And I just was like, see, Hollywood, you can make female driven material and you will still sell tickets.
[02:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Everyone was so excited. There was a ton of people wearing pink. It was just so fun. And I felt connected to people in theater.
[02:38] Dr. Katrina Furey: I know, right?
[02:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Which I feel like I've never well, I did when I saw the last Harry Potter.
[02:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was going to say Harry Potter.
[02:46] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Everyone was clapping, everyone dressed up. It was emotional.
[02:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: It was an experience. Right. And that's like the joy of going to the movies. And I think you had said to me that you hadn't seen a movie since before COVID and probably then two years before that. So long time. But totally, as you were saying that, it reminded me of when I would go see Harry Potter with my friends, like in high school and yeah, it was like a whole event. And this is totally what that felt like. We were a little bummed that there wasn't the Barbie box.
[03:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, I think it's because we weren't.
[03:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: In a major city.
[03:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Or even just like a big mega theater, because I know some people who went in another part of our state and they did have the box, but it was like a big complex, like.
[03:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: Next to a mall, all that stuff. Yeah, well, it was still great.
[03:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was bummed. Sorry.
