TRANSCRIPT HERE   Join Steph and her oldest friend, the gorgeously insightful Annie Ware, as they dissect as much of the psychological meaning behind Netflix's iconic animated series Bojack Horseman, created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Lisa Hanawalt.

Find out as we managed to tackle all (most) of its themes in 90 minutes!   Follow Annie on @fancyfreshpups on Instagram, to see her incredible grooming work (and the goodest doggos).   CONTENT WARNING: Suicide, childhood abuse, alcoholism, self harm behaviour, dementia, death, death anxiety/existentialism   Follow Psychocinematic on Instagram,  Twitter and Tiktok! or join our Facebook Group!
