    Electroconvulsive Therapy: This Will Come as a Shock

    Welcome back from another break!  We've learned that as life is returning more to normal, our free time is not.  So we are trying to make up for lack of frequency by providing content with real Shock value!  This week we discuss ECT, also known as Shock Therapy, and discuss the movies Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  Shock therapy may have a bad rap, but we want to keep the good raps coming, so thanks for listening and providing suggestions!

    Back Pain: Except Much More Exciting

    Welcome to the episode Nick has been waiting for.  We tried to make a boring old back pain episode, including a discussion about a Simpsons episode, but this thing got a little out of control.  We had a special request to do a breakdown of There's Something About Mary, and while this movie has lots of back pain issues, it also has...a lot of other medical mishaps.  And we pull no punches discussing them.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy our newest episode - which almost needed an explicit tag!
