I read a couple of articles in the Atlantic and the Wall Street Journal that talked about studies around why we rewatch movies and tv shows. Studies showed that there was a therapeutic benefit to the déja vu. Of course, there is the sense of nostalgia, visiting a happy place or moment that you’ve already been. Another point is that because you’ve seen it before, there will be no surprises. This can really lessen your sense of anxiety. And at this time in the world, I think we’re all feeling different levels of underlying stress and anxiety. But don’t worry, I’ve brought my husband Dave on this episode.
David is an admissions advisor, an animator by trade, and a podcast host (shameless plug: check out his podcast Toon Lore Done Right) so I thought that he would be a great person to pull for this consultation. Together, we’ve come up with a playlist to get you through quarantine, protests, or the unfair murder of black people at the hands of police. Today, on Loose Change, what to watch when you don’t know what to watch.
