Maureen Callahan is joined by Dr. Drew Pinsky to discuss Russell Brand’s trauma-fueled addiction, Matthew Perry’s struggle with sobriety, Selma Blair’s mental health, and the dark side of Hollywood culture. Then, in celebration of The Nerve’s 200th episode, Maureen breaks down all the ways The Nerve and the Troublemakers are moving the culture. She revisits some of our biggest repeat offenders, including Jon Hamm, psycho arsonist Ryan Reynolds, Amy Griffin, The Nerve’s sprightly 900-year-old heroine, and many more.
