Is Forrest Gump toxic… or not?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright react to Forrest Gump and question if elements of the film are toxic or not. In this series, they investigate if movie relationships claimed to be toxic really are and what “toxic” actually means. Jonathan talks about the portrayal of Forrest’s intellectual disability as well as the healthy and unhealthy aspects of Jenny and Forrest’s relationship. Alan shares poignant lines and scenes from the film that have touched him. #cryingwithalan
