The Psych Movie Minute Psych Movie Minute

In the next minute of the show, we look at a scene in the 2017 film, The Year of Spectacular Men, and discuss some of the things that come up with interracial dating / relationships.  Communication (or rather miscommunication) is part of any relationship and when we are vulnerable in intimate relationships, sometimes things in our heritage and upbringing can get highlighted.  Sometimes we forget the we are unique people and our partners can't read our minds and don't know all the things that make up our backgrounds.

In this next episode, we look not only at the next minute of the 2017 film, The Year of Spectacular Men, but also touch on race, ethnicity, and complications when it comes to depictions in the media as well as in Western medicine (which does not have the best track record when it comes to how people from non-Western cultures are sometimes thought of).  The more we can hopefully discuss these kind of topics frankly and openly, the more awareness we will hopefully have a society in being able to confront differences that separate us. 

In this next episode of the show, we look at minute 42 of the 2017 film, The Year of Spectacular Men, and discuss adulting!  Yes, all tat boring stuff like paying bills, making and keeping appointments, taking responsibility for your actions and decisions, etc.  These are skills that need to be cultivated and learned like anything else, and there really is no age limit on learning them.

In this next episode, we touch on the next minute of the 2017 film, The Year of Spectacular Men, in which the main character, Izzy has loaded up on 4 cups of coffee by 6:30 AM after an unexpected sexual encounter and bursts into the room of her still sleeping sister and her sister's boyfriend to debrief.  Needless to say, they are less than amused.  We discuss what might be an obvious phenomena - drinking too much coffee can make one wired ... but discuss some aspects of physiology when it comes to stimulating substances (like caffeine) as well as the at times complex and often misunderstood interplay between anxiety and inattention (which are often found together).

Happy New Year! In this next minute of the show, we are looking at a continuation of episode 39 which introduced the topic of discussing sex education in the context of the 2017 film, The Year of Spectacular Men - in this next minute, we build on that topic and discuss some of the awkwardness when it comes to discussing this basic aspects of human existence of which much is discussed ... but often in hushed tones or with stammering, stuttering phrases, much like this minute, in which Izzy and her current spectacular man, Logan, have sex for the first time in a rather awkward but comical fashion,

In this next episode of the show, we are looking at the minute 39 of The Year of Spectacular Men, when Izzy and Logan, the next spectacular man, hook up, leading to a discussion on talking about safe sex in a health care context.
