Introducing: Now On Netflix

This week on Know It All, Greg Brown and Mitch Moffit from AsapSCIENCE look at the difference between like, love and lust. Inspired by the rom com Your Place or Mine starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, they look deeper at the brain chemistry that cause us to feel love, why it can be so addictive, and just how long the honeymoon period lasts.

This week on Know It All, Greg Brown and Mitch Moffat from AsapSCIENCE look at why exactly the 90s are back, and how so many trends seem to be cyclical. Inspired by That 90's Show, the new spinoff of That 70's Show, they look at the early days of fashion trends in the court of Louis the XIV, how trend cycles have been put into hyperdrive in the age of fast-fashion, and why nostalgia has such a hold on our brains.

This week on Know It All, Greg Brown and Mitch Moffit from AsapSCIENCE look at why we like getting scared and what exactly happens in our brains when we experience fear. Inspired by the movie White Noise, they also look deeper into just how common phobias are, and why humans have overwhelming fears of everything from spiders to heights to a fear of phobias themselves.

This week on Know It All, Greg Brown and Mitch Moffit from AsapSCIENCE wonder …why do we experience the whole quarter-life crisis thing? Inspired by the new season of Emily in Paris, they dig into the science behind puberty, the cultural shifts toward extended adolescence, and how things like college and major life events in our 20s - from breaking up with a partner to getting fired from a job - can wreak havoc on our sense of security and our sense of self. Hence: the quarter life crisis.
