Steph is thrilled to be joined by one of her favourite podcasters from one of her favourite podcasts, Alex Steed from You Are Good. He is good! You are Good is good. All goodness all the time. Steph and Alex discuss the 2018 version of an oft told tale, A Star Is Born, where Bradley Coopers fame story is winding down as Lady Gaga’s is just beginning. We discuss the depictions of addiction and treatment; asking the question- should a therapist laugh at a patient’s botched suicide attempt story? Join us as we dissect the supposedly great love story behind the film, the toxicity of the entertainment industry, and whether we can truly separate mental illness from shitty relationship behaviour.
CONTENT WARNING: suicide and suicidal behaviour, substance abuse and addiction, coercive control, death (parent and partner)
