Summary

Lena and Russell discuss everything from anxiety and addiction, to the effect fame has on the human psyche, to post-structuralism and the myth of the goddess. A very open and frank conversation, and hopefully one that you can relate to. This episode was taped long before Lena released her successful films “Sharp Stick” and “Catherine Called Birdy," (which Russell appears in, by the way); the episode's takeaways are timeless. Enjoy.
