CinemaPsych Podcast

Join Alex and guest host Dr. Angela Bell in a discussion of the psychological concepts in Scream (1996), Wes Craven's reimagining and spoofing of his own slasher films. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and lots more star in this movie that has so many gender stereotypes and aggression, our eyes rolled too far back in our heads and now we're permanently stuck like that. Also find out how Craven got his start in film--and how that relates to Randy's horror movie rules!

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...

Join Alex and guest host Dr. Jeff Bowen in a discussion of the psychological concepts in Her (2013), another tour de force by Joaquin Phoenix (I suppose this show has become to the JP show by now...). We chat about how real a relationship with an OS could be--for me... I love my MacOS!

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!

Join Alex and Celeste Pilegard as they discuss Rashomon (1950) and Knives Out (2019), two films cut from the same cloth (pun intended)! In this episode, the Rashomon effect is explored deeply, with discussions on police line-ups & eyewitness testimony, and whether we live in a shared reality.

Join Alex and Molly Metz as they discuss Inside Out (2015), a long-awaited episode for the podcast. This episode has everything: a deep discussion of emotion theory, a critique of the memory representation, and the exploration of some possible hidden psychology gems. It's joyful, saddening, and maybe you'll have a jingle or two stuck in your head when you're finished listening! If you have a free moment, check out her passion: The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP).

Join Alex and Christina Ragan (her FB Group for instructors for Bio and Neuro Psychology) in a discussion of the BAD psychological concepts in Luc Besson's gobbledegook sci-fi thriller (?) Lucy (2014). It stars Scarlett Johansson as the eponymous Lucy, a woman who unlocks supernatural powers just by using more of her brain, and Morgan Freeman, a science-adjacent person who has really weird theories about space-time and brains. We called this a Rage Watch followed by a Rage Chat! Join us.
