Ep 315: The Psychology of A Quiet Place and Mission Impossible

Psychology at the Movies

 

Did you see the movie A Quiet Place? How about Mission Impossible? It’s always fun to analyze movies from a psychological perspective and that’s what I do in this episode. A Quiet Place has a lot of family dynamics issues going on but Mission Impossible? You’d be surprised. We’ll look at such things as family therapy, the identified patient, sexism and even correlational statistics. Let’s have some fun.

    I haven’t seen it, but thanks for pointing it out. I’ve got the IMDB tab open and am looking at it now. Sounds interesting.

    Ooh! Have you ever commented on “Leave No Trace”? I watched it some months ago and I’m still wondering if/how the father character might change.
