Christine Baranski Has the Range: On Psychedelics, Trump Resistance, and, Yes, Mamma Mia! 3

Psychedelics and micro-dosing come up in Christine Baranski's discussion of her roles in Nine Perfect Strangers, where her character engages in unorthodox wellness. Baranski says she does not personally take psychedelics and urges caution, especially around recreational use. She connects psychedelic use to potential mental health value when it is tied to specific conditions like post-traumatic stress, but she rejects the idea of turning it into a generalized “spa” or wellness gimmick. She also emphasizes careful handling when referencing ketamine, noting that even in earlier work the show avoided saying it by name. Beyond psychedelics, the interview links her TV work to cultural resistance, discussing entertainment's relationship to Donald Trump and the kind of political critique that shows like The Good Fight previously used.
