The term gaslight means to psychologically manipulate someone by convincing them that they are wrong when they are actually right. This term has had a resurgence in popularity with the rise of feminism and the #MeToo movement, but it wouldn’t exist without a remake of a movie produced 4 years earlier with the same name. 1944’s Gaslight is also known for the Oscar-winning performance of Ingrid Bergman and the screen debut of Dame Angela Lansbury, which landed her an Oscar nomination. Dan & Jon discuss the severity of gaslighting and how the term rose above the movie, which deserves to be talked about with the greats as it created the tropes that rose in popularity in the 1990s.
