    Episode 016: Social Media Profiles and FBI Profiles are the Same, Right? Red Dragon (2002) with Marc Klippenstine

    June 29, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Join Alex and returning guest host Dr. Marc Klippenstine for a discussion of the psychological concepts in Red Dragon (2002), the second best Hannibal Lecter movie, but one where we can explore if the FBI is just using our social media to determine whether or not we’re serial murderers! Edward Norton is an established profiler and Anthony Hopkins is still very creepy…

    Episode 012: Don’t Worry, This Episode Isn’t About Coronavirus… We Think? Contagion (2011) with Anthony Zoccolillo

    April 6, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Join Alex and Anthony Zoccolillo as they discuss Contagion (2011), a film too important to pass up in this time of the coronavirus pandemic of 2019-2020! In this episode, we explore several eerily-good features of the science presented in the film, including panic-buying, the tremendous pressure to get things right by government officials, and conspiracy theories. It’s honestly a scary form of life imitating art at this juncture. We end by chatting about how we’re coping with the social distancing and offer some tips to our listeners. Join us on this ride!
