Leaving Neverland is a two-part documentary telling the story of two men who accuse Michael Jackson of sexually abusing them as children. This documentary raises a lot of points about grooming, abuse, the psychological toll it takes on the victim and their family. Dr. Karen Sherman and host Steve Cooper discuss what families can take away from this documentary and the follow-up conversation hosted by Oprah Winfrey.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of maintaining our mental wellness, Leaving Neverland, Oprah and After Neverland, the shows we are currently watching, Paul Manafort, Andrew Yang, and we give a shout to the Notorious BIG. We also play with the idea of doing series reviews and we talk about the impact of automation on America. Of course there's some talk about other random things throughout the show. This was a great episode! We had a lot of fun while being joined by another brother (yes, our actual sibling), Jay. As always, thank you so much for listening.

I hadn’t planned on doing a podcast on this particular topic – that of sexual predators and sex abuse -- and for some of you, you may wonder what this has to do with mental illness and caregiving, and to that I’ll give a simple answer – A LOT. Having just watched for the second time the HBO Documentary “LEAVING NEVERLAND” - something I encourage everyone to do - it brought back for me the very same swirl of emotions that I experienced when I was 14 years old trying to navigate not only my mom's schizophrenia, but also my own sexual awareness and very confusing relationship with an authority figure who was 40 years old. He was a father figure, a friend, a protector...just as much as he was a young girl's fantasy, a flirt, and at best an inappropriate sexual game player. I stop short still of labeling him "sex predator" even though from the documentary, so much points to him having been just that. Just as in Leaving Neverland, I, too, have struggled to understand my own feelings about what had happened, and I kept silent for so long about so many things -- the shame of which still impacts me to this day. The book I wrote that got published in May of 2015 - The S Word: A Memoir About Secrets - was about the "S" words that were suffocating me: Schizophrenia, Sicilian, Seduction, Sex, Shame... Wade and James in Leaving Neverland explained so much of what I experienced and felt, and I am grateful for the insight to help further clarify this particular brand of madness that happened in my own life. As Oprah said in her After Neverland show, this director Dan Reed was able to do in these four hours what she wasn't in more than 200 episodes of her own show. I hope the message helps further the conversation and the understanding of this cancer in our society. I know it will make a difference for those of us who have walked in similar shoes. I hope my story helps as well. A storyteller at heart who built a career in writing, media & marketing, Paolina Milana is grateful for the magic AND the madness she's experienced. Her roots are entangled with mental illness and taking on caregiving roles -- something she has come to realize is not unique to her; rather, it seems to be common on several levels among others, especially the high-functioning women who from the outside looking in seem to have it all together. Madness To Magic brings to listeners stories of real world encounters with what we all experience and yet feel shamed to keep silent. Embracing ALL of us is key to tapping into our own power to make all things possible.

HBO’s new documentary Leaving Neverland dominated pop culture conversation this week, bringing overdue attention and support to Wade Robson and James Safechuck. Both men allege that Michael Jackson sexually abused them when they were children and have come forward to share their stories. It’s an intense documentary, but one well worth discussing, so Noel and Kate dive in for this episode’s spotlight, along with Oprah’s hour-long after-show/special, After Neverland. Before that, though, we had a full week in TV. First we look at the comedies, including Fresh Off the Boat, SNL, Bob’s Burgers, grown-ish, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Then we talk reality, genre, and drama, including RuPaul’s Drag Race, Black Lightning, The Flash, and the finale of I Am the Night. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on Neverland, I Am the Night, and more.Spotlight: Leaving Neverland and After Neverland (1:09:53)Our Week in ComedyFresh Off the Boat (13:17) SNL (19:19)Bob’s Burgers (21:58)grown-ish (25:21) Brooklyn Nine-Nine (32:40)Our Week in Reality, Genre, and DramaRuPaul’s Drag Race (40:45)Black Lightning (52:00)The Flash (56:57)I Am the Night finale (1:01:50)Music Featured: “Pesto in my Pants” from Bob’s Burgers; Excerpts from the Bodega Bathroom sketch from John Mulaney’s second time hosting SNL
Leaving Neverland, the two-part HBO documentary that debuted on March 3, details the accusations levied by Wade Robson and James Safechuck—two men who say they were molested by Jackson when they were children. The film is aesthetically deliberative in its tight camera shots and long pauses, which allow Robson and Safechuck to fill the space themselves, thereby minimizing Jackson. There are no experts present in the film to contextualize what the effects of long-term child molestation are. In the four hours of Leaving Neverland, audiences are granted a front-row seat to the alleged abuse, as it is explained in painstaking and alarming detail. On-screen, Robson and Safechuck, now 36 and 41, respectively, are visibly navigating how to confront and heal from their trauma. As a viewer, I was heartbroken for them. (Jackson denied the accusations throughout his life, and his family maintains his innocence. The Jackson estate is suing HBO for violating a non-disparagement agreement.)

Kelly and Gayle King on CBS This Morning. The Message in R. Kelly’s Meltdown SPENCER KORNHABER The work of the postmortem exposé is often corrective in nature. It challenges prevailing assumptions about a person and asks viewers to reconsider their own memories of events. Nostalgia’s grip, though, can blur patterns of alleged predatory abuse in plain sight. It seems difficult to translate, in 2019, the magnitude of Jackson’s popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. For many, the entertainer’s death in 2009 marked an end to the era of the mega pop star, whose global celebrity garnered unparalleled, fevered fandom. Media back then were smaller and more limited, far from the fractured universes of today, in which each fan’s relationship with her celebrity of choice is siloed, intimate, cultish. (Instagram and Twitter can provide a false sense of singular closeness to a star.) But Jackson’s popularity was universal—and fans were swept up in rapturous grief when he died. News of his passing broke the internet, and an estimated 1 billion people, myself included, watched the funeral. Many live-tweeted it, trading memories of favorite performances and moments. Read: The most notable part of Oprah’s ‘After Neverland’ special By the time he died, Jackson’s legion of fans already knew the narrative of his road to superstardom, made possible in part by sacrificing his youth, enduring extreme loneliness, and being subjected to emotional and physical abuse by his father. In a public address in 2001, Jackson told an Oxford University audience, “The cheery 5-year-old who belted out ‘Rockin’ Robin’ and ‘Ben’ to adoring crowds was not indicative of the boy behind the smile.” He continued, “What I really wanted was a dad. I wanted a father who showed me love. And my father never did that.” Jackson was so effective at communicating the roots of his own grief that it was easy for some people to discount the allegations of abuse against him.
