What is the difference between self love and narcissism? Can narcissistic people change?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright react to a Disney experimental era classic, The Emperor's New Groove. They take a look at Kuzco’s narcissism and his journey to a healthier place. Jonathan defines narcissistic personality disorder and contrasts narcissism and self love. Alan dives into the performance process for voice actors and how to direct actors in a sound booth. And they can’t get enough of David Spade’s humor that few people can pull off - acting like a jerk and making it funny!

This movie's POOPSHOW of a production process has its own documentary, "The Sweatbox". That's how you know a film is truly legendary. 🤭

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting with bated breath for this movie to be covered by you guys :D

This movie is a masterpiece! And while I know this scene has absolutely no value to add to the conversation, I just have to throw down the gauntlet and say that this scene is one of the greatest comedic bits of all time: https://youtu.be/9L-epgWa0JE?si=ucApuio5MfLvtOMo

This was another great episode. The discussion of NPD is interesting as Kuzco is the stereotype of one. But there are many presentations and there are a number of therapists that work with this population that see trauma as a major contributing factor, including the "spoiled" narcissist that grew up in transactional family dynamics. A large number of people with NPD operate with a core of shame they hide from, creating a false self they try to believe in.

Thanks for diving into this film, I haven't seen it in years and forgot how fun it is!

Jonathan’s impression of Ezma sounds like if Ezma was voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.😂

The main cast of this movie is one of the most solid comedic ensembles in any animated film. It’s one of my top quotable movies too. Absolute masterpiece. Especially since it manages to make you feel for both Yzma and Kuzco despite them being terrible people 😂

I think this is movie is a writer's dream. The scene where Ezma is falling and they bounce her back up on a giant trampoline? The writers were just like "yeah, let's do that. That's funny." and it WORKS.

Hi, I wanted to ask if you could do a reaction part 2 of Good Will Hunting, an analysis of Will's character and abuse? Thanks

I love this episode! but there's a dead pixel in Jono's camera that was driving me bonkers during this episode, I totally thought my laptop had a dead pixel, but no, there's just that one smudge of pink on Jono's chair whenever it's on his camera ahh

I was the prime targeted age for this film when it came out and I have no shame in admitting I know every line and the editing is it’s own character in and of itself. It’s a huge influence on my video editing now and humor. For better or worse haha. You both are great. Thank you as always <3

you should definitely do more on Yzma and Kronk (and i have to mention her villain song that got cut but the recording is out there)

Nova Villmark

I had a friend tell me once (while in the throes of a turmoil from my addict husband) that "all addicts are narcissists." And I think she is absolutely right. As a sober man my ex husband was (and now is, after divorce was his rock bottom) a wonderful, generous, giving, loving person. But as an addict - nothing was his fault, only his needs mattered, he lost his empathy, and he was the perpetual victim when any consequences of his addiction happened. It is truly startling how the messing with the chemistry in our brains can make the same person be an angel or a monster.

Looking for this *cough* is that my voice is that MY voice Oh Well

Thank You Disney for not doing the storybook intro for one movie, at least!
