Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) returns to 2CC for a review and recap of The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, the 2018 thriller novel that follows the twists and turns of forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber’s mission to unlock the truth behind Alicia Berenson, the notorious painter who hasn’t spoken even once after apparently murdering her husband years ago (yes, she’s the eponymous “silent patient”). Talking points that Arthur and Andy bring up throughout this bookish episode include the noir vibe that runs throughout TSP, the despicable bigotry of J.K. Rowling, and frustrating misconceptions about borderline personality disorder and other mental illnesses.
