And they're back after a little break with a hidden movie gem. In this episode of the Much Madness podcast, Mackenzie and Carrie cover the highly underrated and under-discussed 1977 film I Never Promised You A Rose Garden. Starring Kathleen Quinlan as Deborah Blake, the ladies give you their honest impressions of a young woman's struggle with schizophrenia and her treatment on a long-term inpatient psychiatric unit. Appreciating a wide range of characters, Mackenzie and Carrie touch on the triumphs and pitfalls of the understated piece of art.

They discuss some potentially distressing details of the movie, and any person with sensitivity to traumatic subjects should exercise caution before listening to this episode.
