DIRECTOR'S CUT: Movie Family Therapy: M3GAN (Patreon)

What happens if you don’t process grief? How do you set boundaries with your and your kids’ screen time?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright explore the horror, comedy, and sound psychology of M3GAN. Jonathan talks about the importance of feeling grief and the cycle of caring, loss, and grief. He also defines attachment theory and explains secure and insecure attachments. They talk about Cady’s dependency on M3GAN and the wider discussion of being too dependent on technology. Alan shares tidbits about the production design and notes the subtly creepy tones of both M3GAN’s voice and the score. M3GAN is a bonkers murder fest but it’s also got substance!
