Ye Old Mental Imbalance

[00:00:00] intro-outro: Tired. So tired, Overtired.

[00:00:04] Christina: You’re listening to Overtired No Longer your Taylor Swift podcast, but a, a, a mental health podcast about the shit that keeps us up at night. I’m Christina Warren. I’m joined as always by my friends, Jeff Severance, Gunzel and Brett Terpstra. Hey guys, how are you?

[00:00:21] Jeff: Good

[00:00:22] Brett: good. I’m not. I’m not tired. Are you tired?

[00:00:25] Christina: Oh, I’m exhausted, Jeff. No,

[00:00:28] Jeff: I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m undecided.

[00:00:30] Brett: What’s going on with you, Christina?

[00:00:32] Christina: well, it’s seven o’clock in the morning and I went to bed at four, so that’s, that’s my, yeah.

[00:00:40] Brett: I stayed up late last night because I got obsessed with a show that I’ve already seen, but you guys ever watch Arrow?

[00:00:47] Jeff: Mm-hmm.

[00:00:48] Christina: Yes. Not in a long time.

[00:00:51] Brett: Yeah, it’s like 10 years old. Uh, it, I, I started watching The Flash with Al and like immediately there’s a crossover episode where characters from the Arrow come on, and it gave me this like, longing for watching Arrow, and it’s just such a great, like, revenge story. And I got, and everyone in it is hot.

[00:01:12] Like everyone from like the main characters to the detective, to the, like the CFO company, like everyone’s hot. It’s, it’s, it’s a visually appealing show with a great revenge plot, and it’s way better than the flash.

[00:01:30] Jeff: Wow. I’ve never seen either of those.

[00:01:33] Christina: Uh, they’re from, they’re, they’re from Greg Vigilante who, uh, created brothers and sisters and, um, Couple of other things, but, uh, but who I, of course, always will remember because he was like the showrunner and one of the lead writers on Dawson’s Creek. So, uh, he also created Everwood. So, yeah. So, uh, but, but you know, it makes sense that like the longest running, most enduring kind of franchise thing of the CW is, is from like a Dawson’s Creek alum.

[00:01:58] Um, so, so Brett, Brett, appreciate that. You’re, you’re enjoying and rewatching stuff like from like the absolute deepest bowels of Teen tv, Vdo

[00:02:10] Brett: thank you for that perspective. I never would’ve known that without Christina.

[00:02:15] Jeff: I tend to, I tend to re-watch things when I don’t feel like there’s something new for me to get. Uh,

[00:02:23] Brett: that’s where I’m at right now. All, all of the shows, all the new shows we’ve been watching have ended and we’re in that, like, lull between seasons and we’re like, we’re watching a lot of Big Bang Theory and, and, and older shows and just finding out like, wow, we just started Dickinson, which I didn’t, I had never heard of on Apple

[00:02:44] Christina: Oh yeah, it’s pretty good. Yeah, with

[00:02:46] Brett: it is, it is pretty good.

[00:02:48] Then there’s like three seasons of it already completed, so it’s a new, it’s a new show to.

[00:02:54] Christina: yeah. No, she’s amazing because I believe that she, somehow, her agents must be just phenomenal because she was able to get the Dickinson deal and do, um, Hawkeye on Disney Plus, and they were like two at one point, one of, I think it was season three and Hawkeye, they were like airing at the same time.

[00:03:13] And usually how the streaming things work is, it’s not quite as restrictive as like network TV shows where they’re like, You are committed to our show and only our show. But usually they’re like, You can’t be on two competing services with brand new shows at the same time. So whoever reps her is doing a fucking great job.

[00:03:33] Uh,

[00:03:34] Brett: was good too.

[00:03:35] Christina: Well, yes, Hawkeye was great. Well, you know what? She’s really good. Um,

[00:03:39] Brett: Apparently

[00:03:41] Christina: she’s very good. Well, she’s, she was nominated for an Oscar when she was 11, so, Yeah. Um, but I mean,

[00:03:47] Brett: Same.

[00:03:48] Jeff: It’s not a

[00:03:49] Christina: but, uh, uh, what was the, the movie was with the Edge of 17 or something. Um,

[00:03:55] Jeff: Ooh,

[00:03:56] Christina: it’s kind of like a No, uh, I know that’s a CX song, but it might have just been called, uh, 17.

[00:04:02] But she, she, uh, she’s really good. Um, but she, uh, yeah, but, but Dickinson, um, I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I remember

[00:04:12] Brett: I’ve just gotten going. But immediately, immediately I was like, This is a good show. I, I can get into this. And, and I haven’t, I haven’t read Emily Dickinson. Like El my partner, uh, is a big fan. She, she’s a poet by trade and like she knows all about Emily Dickinson. So it’s, it’s fun for her in a different way.

[00:04:32] For me, it’s an exploration of, of an author that I, I really don’t know anything about. So this is all, it’s all new...
