I’ve been catching up on You’re Wrong About (thanks @perkymcbadsuit for the rec) and this episode is such a good listen. Dare I say, a little life changing? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wake up one day and have a healthy body image, but there was something so affirming and comforting about this episode, and listening to it made me think that some day I might be able to be ok with myself?

I listen on Spotify, but it’s pretty much available anywhere you listen to podcasts.

“The saddest thing for me, maybe in this whole show, was watching Eleanor reach out to people in different ways. She kind of systematically goes through the family looking for help. The episode was kind of built this way, once Arthur was out of the picture. Even when she was in the car with Luke, he asks her how she’s doing and she answers him. She doesn’t like to be at home alone. She hears things at night. She sees things. And he interrupts her. She reached out to Theo and Theo wasn’t really listening. The tragedy of Eleanor, for me, more than anything, is that there are numerous opportunities throughout this episode in her interactions with her siblings, with everyone in her family, that probably could have saved her. That is the kind of stuff I find the most haunting.” - Mike Flanagan making me cry even more over Nell’s story during his commentary for Episode 5 of The Haunting of Hill House

Oh.
