Red Rooms (Plante 2023)

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2023 film Red Rooms. Ostensibly this is a film about the dark web phenomemon of the titular red rooms. Oddly, the film did not actually offer any insight into red rooms. This film is different, and we definitely appreciate that. We just wish it offered something, anything!, interesting in terms of perspective or thoughts on the phenomenon it purports to address. We enjoyed it, learned nothing from it, but still enjoyed it.

There is lots more of our podcast!
