Description

Pop Culture Case Study is a movie podcast, of course, but far from one that merely reviews films old and new. Though they are sure to don their critical hats in every episode, hosts David Giannini and Will Bjarnar view fresh and classic cinematic offerings through a psychological lens, with Dave using his background as a therapist and counselor to analyze a psych-centric theme. The duo also details their varying anticipation levels for each new film, and what makes their chosen rewatch something worth revisiting (or, you know, never watching again). New episodes drop every Friday, but until then, they’ll be here, diagnosing your favorites, and judging you for what you watch.
