Show Notes
This week on The Watchers, Andrea and Jodie check themselves in for a review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. We trace the long and winding road to bringing this film to the screen, talk about its unconventional on-location set, and reflect on how it launched so many of our favorite actors’ careers. We also unpack the deep misogyny baked into the writing of Nurse Ratched as a monstrous woman.
Next week, we’re staying in the psych ward for the Cuckoo's Nest companion piece Girl, Interrupted.
If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.
