Before to begin the episode, I want to point out two things.

First, this is about Alfred Hitchcock's film, Vertigo,

and we spoil it almost immediately.

So if you care about that, go watch the film before you listen to any of this.

Second, part two of this discussion will not be appearing on the

partially examined life public feed. Instead it will be available on our website or

on our Patreon site for as little as one dollar. So you may want to just stop listening now and go get that

full unbroken ad-free version or stick around to the end of the episode. I'll give more details

on how to get part two, why we're doing this, etc. Thanks for listening. You are listening to the partially examined life, a podcast by some guys who are at some point

set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it.

Our question for episode 169 is something like, is there such a thing as a sexual relationship? We watched Alfred

Hitchcock film Vertigo and read several articles analyzing it from a

psycho analytic and feminist bent. This is Wes All One or as my friends like to call me

available All One in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This is Mark Linson Meyer ever suspended over the abyss of my own narcissism in Madison, Wisconsin.

This is Seth Paskin in Austin, Texas.

This is Delen Casey, tumbling on to the terracotta in Middleton, Wisconsin.

I like that. Well Wes, I can answer your question. No there's no such thing as a

sexual relationship for people who spend a lot of time analyzing vertigo.

But that's not what you met. Tell us what you mean by your question Wes.

What do I mean by the question?

So I'm going to give a little intro.
