Customer Reviews
Witty, Insightful and fun!
We just listened to the ‘Mean Girls’ episode and enjoyed the deeper dive past some of the light comedy moments into real life problems that young adults go through every day - to include bullying, body issues and making friends in new places. Dr. Fran and Dr. Sam are easy to listen to and have a great repoire. All in all super enjoyable and will continue to listen!
Informative and fun
This podcast addresses important themes of mental health representation and de-stigmatization in the media through in-depth analyses in a clear and expert manner. All the while, Dr. Sam and Dr. Fran come across as so relatable, and the subject matter (movies and TV shows) is fun to hear about!
Real conversations about real issues 👏🏽
Finally a podcast that dives deeper into the psychology of movies and television while also making you feel like you’re chatting with your girlfriends about key mental issues highlighted on screens. 10/10 recommend.
