Who Watches The Watchlist?

Watching all of the Watchlists

S1:E7 – Doubt and Suspicion

PSH Forever

Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave reviews a movie, Doubt, with one of his absolute favorite actors, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Although we have been robbed of many great years of film due to his death, here is one of his best performances (and that’s saying something).

S1:E6 – The Breakfast Club and Labeling Theory

Hughes Forever

Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave discusses a theory which was borne out of the book/movie “The Outsiders.” Apparently, it actually has an effect when we label people in negative ways. Shocker. Also, The Breakfast Club. Is it the best high school movie of all time?

S1:E4 – Godzilla (2014) and The White Knight Syndrome

They don't need to be saved

Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave is bothered (maybe too much) for the lack of Japanese actors in the new Godzilla movie. He will also discuss the “White Knight Syndrome” and how it connects with this movie, earlier Godzilla movies, and film in general.

S1:E3 – The Avengers and Teamwork

Just an excuse

Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave uses any excuse to watch one of his favorite movies, The Avengers. He analyzes what it takes to make a team, and, more importantly, what it takes to make a good team. Does the greatest team in comics apply as a good team?

S1:E2 – The Dark Knight Rises and Heroism

It still should have been two movies

Episode Notes

We’re back for more. In this episode, Dave talks about the final movie of the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. In addition, he discusses the nature of heroism and the difference between heroic acts and acts of courage.

S1:E1 – Big Fish and Terror Management Theory

This one is for Dad

Episode Notes

Welcome to Pop Culture Case Study! In the first episode, Dave discusses the magic of Big Fish. Somehow, he will connect it to Terror Management Theory. Hopefully, it will be entertaining too!
