Neurratives – A Podcast about Neuroscience in Fiction
It's our first musical episode of Neurratives! Sort of. This week, we're taking a look at season 6, episode 6 of the medical sitcom Scrubs, 'My Musical.' In this episode of the show that pioneered the single-camera, laugh track-less, dramedy sitcom style, an unknown neurological disorder causes a patient to hear the entire cast as singing in theater showtune style.
Nick is a complete musical theater newbie, while Stephen has been a wannabe theater snob for years. How accurate is this show's depiction of musical hallucinations? Has this put Nick off of musicals forever? Why are we doing a musical in the first place? These questions answered, and more on this episode of Neurratives!
