Ep 35 - Recovery Movie Review: The Lost Weekend

This month, Dylan and Kaz review the 1945 Best Picture of the year, Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend, a sprawling journey of hopelessness and alcoholic anxiety in a world before modern rehab and recovery options were understood. For many people, the only exposure to recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction is through films and television. But how accurately is this being presented? Dylan sits down with his "normie" buddy Kaz to review several movies centered around recovery from drugs and alcoholism, with a focus upon how well these films portray these life changing events - as seen through the eyes of a viewer in recovery as well as someone who does not have personal experiences in recovery.
