Hey Deservianerving Listeners, as a lot of you know, we will talk about movies and TV shows,

and usually we try to talk about things that relate to psychology, and there isn't a movie that relates

more to psychology really than one flew over the cuckoo's nest, which we're going to talk about today

for a lot of reasons.

Welcome to the podcast.

This is the Psychology and Seattle Podcast, and I'm your host, Dr. Kirkconda.

I'm a therapist and a professor who are you Brito my name is

Alberto Casagna and I sell and trade used baseball cards who are you Colin my

name is Colin I'm from Texas and I design nurse outfits for megal maniacs.

For me, I was alive when this came out, but I didn't see it in the theater. I would have been four, but I remember watching it at home it must have been

like a Sunday night movie or something what I remember most is really

identifying with Chief because as a young person of color in a white community I was

always looking toward the non-white people as heroes in a sense.

This is before I had any idea about racism as a topic or social justice or anything, but I remember

really identifying with Chief because he was not entirely white and he even kind of looked a little

Asian because a lot of you know Native Americans will look a little bit Asian.

And sometimes I was mistaken for American Indian. The other thing that I identified with was as a young person, I was very big. I was comparatively

very large. I was always one of the largest people in my class and not just kind of large but like

gargantuan compared to the people around it. People eventually sort of caught up to me, but in my early years, I really identified myself as kind of like a tall monster like chief, you know, someone that was very notable for how large and how

domineering it was, but at the same time, like not actually violent or wants to hurt anybody right which is what she was like

Colin I know a little bit about your relationship with this movie and or book tell us I

was cast as Billy Bibbit in the Richardson Theater
