Have you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?
Mike White March wraps with the scene of the cinematic crime with Patch Adams (1998), a film that weaponizes red noses and sentimentality in equal measure. Chris Stachiw and Mike White welcome guest co-host Mark Begley to dissect this "based-on-a-true-story" heartwarmer, in which Robin Williams plays a medical student who believes laughter is the best medicine—even if it means violating every hospital policy in the book.
From groan-worthy gags to emotional manipulation set to a soaring score, the trio digs into what works, what absolutely doesn’t, and why this film somehow became a cultural touchstone. Bring tissues… and maybe some antacid.
