Is Ferris Bueller the fun friend—or the problem?


In this week’s episode, Tanya and Erin dive deep into Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, breaking down the psychology behind Ferris’s charm, Cameron’s quiet crisis, and the sibling rivalry with Jeanie. 

Through the lens of mental health and therapy, we unpack themes of narcissism, family dysfunction, emotional burnout, and the longing for autonomy. Whether you loved Ferris—or secretly sided with Jeanie—you’ll see this 80s classic in a whole new way.
