Why do we love hate-watching certain films and series?

Matchmaking reality TV show Love Island is a guilty pleasure for many of us, and it’s back on TV screens for the summer. The latest group of contestants have entered the villa, aiming to couple up and take home the £50,000 main prize. Love Island is a typical example of a show that people love to hate-watch. The practice has become more and more widespread in recent years with the rise of streaming platforms. It seems mutual hatred makes for a strong bond!

How exactly does one hate watch then? Why do people keep watching shows they don’t like? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

How did Better Call Saul nearly become a sitcom?

It’s somewhat of an event in the world of series. The five-episode final season of Better Call Saul was released earlier this week on Netflix. If you’re anything like us, you’ve been closely following the moral dilemmas of nice guy Jimmy McGill as he turns into shady lawyer Saul Goodman. So if you haven’t already binged your way through the final episodes, you must be on edge! It’s a fitting finale for a show which was launched back in 2015 as a spin off of Breaking Bad. Now Breaking Bad has long been seen as one of the best crime drama series out there, alongside the likes of The Wire and The Sopranos. So bringing out a prequel was somewhat risky. But it certainly ended up paying off. Many people rate Better Call Saul just as highly as Breaking Bad, if not higher. 

Was the spin off series planned all along? What should we expect from the final episodes?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is the Big Quit?

Remember our episode on #QuitMyJob, about thousands of Americans publicly quitting their jobs on TikTok? Since then, the phenomenon has continued gaining momentum in the United States under a new name: the Great Resignation, or the Big Quit. According to a report published by the US Department of Labour on October 13, 2021, this August alone saw 4.3 million resignations nationwide. Count in the rest of summer and spring, and the figure jumps to a staggering 20 million. In the spirit of similar past initiatives, The Big Quit is yet another movement that offers resistance to unfair employers and unsafe working conditions.

What got this trend started then? Has the movement spread to other countries? Does the movement prompt companies to become more attractive by raising wages, for example? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is citizen science, the concept opening up research to the general public?

Also known as community science, citizen science is the active participation of amateurs or non-professional scientists in research. In recent years, it’s grown in a number of fields, becoming bigger and more networked thanks to new technologies and connectivity. It’s a link between professional researchers and volunteers who are interested in science and want to help it progress.

Why would we want civilians doing important scientific research? Who are these amateur scientists? Which fields in particular are involved? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is OPEC?

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is an international cartel currently made up of thirteen member states. Over the years, it has played an important role in the global economy, coordinating the petroleum policies of its members. But right now, its influence is waning, due in no small part to the Covid-19 pandemic. OPEC was created in 1960 in Baghdad. At the time, there was a high level of competition between petrol companies, meaning prices were low. The main petrol-producing Arabic countries therefore decided to join forces to rival Western companies. Together, they decided to produce less petrol, forcing prices up as a result.

When was it created ? What’s the link between petroleum and a health crisis?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is Stendhal syndrome?

Stendhal’s syndrome is a rare and unusual psychological disorder. It’s a psychosomatic condition whereby certain people suffer from a rapid heartbeat, fainting or even hallucinations, when exposed to objects or works of art of great beauty. The condition takes its name from a famous French writer who experienced a similar state of intense emotion upon visiting Rome, Naples and Florence. Stendhal wrote about his visit to Florence’s Santa Croce Basilica in a book entitled Naples and Florence: A journey from Milan to Reggio.

What is Roe vs Wade, the ruling that guaranteed American women abortion rights?

In late June 2022, the US Supreme Court controversially overturned the landmark Roe vs Wade decision which for decades protected women’s freedom to have an abortion anywhere in the country. Five of the six conservative judges sitting on the supreme court voted in favour of the reversal, ensuring a majority. US President Joe Biden said it was a “sad day for the court and for the country” and called on Americans to elect local candidates who will restore abortion rights. Other prominent Democrats like former President Barack Obama, and 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton, also made their dismay known. The historic overturning has drawn attention all around the world because of the unprecedented consequences it will have on women’s rights and essential freedoms.

How quickly will the impact of the decision be felt? How did the Roe vs Wade ruling first come around? Why has everything changed now?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
