Tune in as Lyndsey & Brandie discuss the movie “Analyze this,” a comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, released in 1999. It stars Robert De Niro as a powerful mob boss who unexpectedly seeks therapy from a neurotic psychiatrist played by Billy Crystal. The movie hilariously explores the clash between the criminal underworld and the world of psychotherapy, as the mobster struggles to balance his criminal activities with his newfound emotional vulnerability. With a mix of humor and heart, "Analyze This" delves into themes of identity, power, and the human psyche, all wrapped up in a comedic package.
We explore the relationship between Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) and Dr. Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal), and analyze the quality and ethics behind the therapy you see on screen. Let us know what you think, as well as any other movie you’d like us to cover!
