One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

The Film Junk Podcast is a goddamn miracle of modern science and this week we're taking a look at another (indisputable?) all-time classic. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has won its fair share of awards over the years but it's time for a modern diagnosis. Is Nurse Ratched one of the most chilling villains ever put on screen or does she actually seem kinda reasonable? Is this a career-best performance for Jack Nicholson? How do we feel about the portrayal of mental illness in the movie? It makes us feel very... peculiar. We're talking about form, content, interrelationships and so much more on this week's podcast.
