IPCXG0105 Psychological analysis of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S01E05 "Josh and I Are Good People!" Intersectional Psychology

What makes one a good person – is it our actions or our motivations?  What happens when someone downtrodden is suddenly given immense power? Can you really trust a priest called Father Brah?  And should “Greg Serrano” be a search term on porn sites?  To answer some of these questions, Snailina Carpenter aka Aurora Brown is joined by Student Clinical Psychologists Jordynne Le Roux and Zabibu Ishimwe. Together they break down the music and mental health themes in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 1 Episode 5, titled “Josh and I Are Good People!”  That’s right, we’re discussing father-daughter love, shame vs. guilt, sexual and emotional infidelity, megalomania, immigration, and office politics. 🎁 Support the podcast and get exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/IntersectionalPsychology. 📄 Download a transcript of this episode on IntersectionalPsychology.com. ⏳ Chapter Timestamps 00:00:00 Short introduction to a psychological analysis of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S01E05  00:00:51 Land acknowledgement  00:01:26 Title credits: Josh and I Have Fragile Egoes!  00:01:58 Guest introductions and their orientation to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CXG)  00:04:58 Recapping the plot of CXG S01E05 "Josh and I Are Good People!"  00:06:25 "If you believed it, then somehow I could believe it too."
