Moving away from social psychology, we are hosting an 8 week flex/intercession mini-season on cinema representations of psychology. This episode, we are joined again by Jordan Jones as we discuss The Holy Mountain, a surreal take on self-actualization and reaching enlightenment. 

Out ratings: As a movie 6/10, with Daniel's 3/10 and Thomas's 10/10 in conflict. As a psychology film 0/10 as there may not be a reason to ever show this, until you get tenure at least.

We will be continuing the solid psychology discussion in a few weeks as we plan Season 2: introductory Psychology (Psyc 101)

Moving  away  from social psychology, we are hosting an 8 week flex/intercession mini-season on cinema representations of psychology.  This episode, we are covering Inside Out and while we totally didn't cry...promise we didn't...really... We do have some questions about the mind of these emotional representations.

Out ratings: As a movie 10/10. As a psychology film 4/10 on average. Issues with use in class, maybe in some contexts, but a great movie overall.

Moving  away  from social psychology, we are hosting an 8 week flex/intercession mini-season on cinema representations of psychology.  This episode, we are covering Good Will Hunting, with a genius Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and the portrayal of professor and clinician Sean Maguire. A good movie and even better portrayal of the therapeutic process and trauma. 

Out ratings: As a movie 8/10. As a psychology film 10/10. High use value in a psychology class and a good movie to boot.

Moving  away  from social psychology, we are hosting an 8 week flex/intercession mini-season on cinema representations of psychology. This episode, we are covering Altered States, where William Hurt transforms into our earliest ancestors (a 4ish foot tall Australopithecus-like creature)  through a drug fueled romp in an isolation tank, I wish I was kidding. We talk body horror, consciousness, shamanism, horror movies throughout time, and more in a long discussion surrounding a movie we thought was sort of OK.  

Out ratings: As a movie 5.5/10, 2/10 if Dr. Parrish wasn't a character. As a psychology film 3/10. OK on content and talking points but maybe not a recommendation and certainly not one for class.

Moving  away  from social psychology, we are hosting an 8 week  flex/intercession  mini-season on cinema representations of psychology.  This episode, we are covering Kinsey, a surprisingly less salacious tale than A Dangerous Method, but one filled with some dubious ethics, meaningful moments and a group of researchers interested in understanding sex.

Out ratings: As a movie 9/10. As a psychology film 9/10. Not for most classes, but good on content, feelings, and history.

Episode 16 of our book read/podcast covering every chapter in an open source textbook to act as a free supplement to social psychology topics and concepts comes to a close. In this episode we are having a FINAL EXAM and watching movies. A raw and uncut series of takes* on Milgram and Zimbardo, in cinema!!!! With two movies, Experimenter: The Stanley Milgram Story, and The Stanford Prison Experiment. What was good, what was bad, why did we feel so many things in the Stanford movie.

* except for one edit where someone knocked on Thomas’ door and he had to get up. While not entirely up to our current editing standards, events outside our control meant having this sit in limbo for weeks or getting out a little less polished. Hope you enjoy regardless.

Episode 15 of our book read/podcast covering every chapter in an open source textbook to act as a free supplement to social psychology topics and concepts comes to a close. In this episode we are jumping to chapter 12 to discuss CONFLICT AND COOPERATION with special guest Dr. Tracy Henley. In this episode we talk about the evolution of conflict and cooperation through the lens of Cognitive Archeology, how it differs from evolutionary psychology, and using archeological evidence to posit questions on psychological processes. Additional topics include archeological sites like Gobekli Tepe, the Borgias in Italy and Machiavelli, and religion and ritual.
