Summary

Cullen and Kelly bravely defend the misunderstood, unfairly maligned Nurse Ratch - just kidding, she's terrible.

Episode Description

CONTENT NOTE: Discussions of suicidality, medical torture, especially medical torture specifically targeted at LGBTQ people, homicide, gore, and psychiatric hospitalization. Also swearing and, of course, spoilers.

Now that we're veteran podcasters, we decided to take on one of pop culture's most heinous villains: Nurse Ratched.

The Netflix series Ratched follows the duplicitous, chaotic Nurse Ratched's...uhhh...descent?...into the cold, manipulative tyrant of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. So we get to talk about the early-ish wacky days of psychology before ethical standards were introduced!
