Show Notes

Movies are not real-life, so why do we tear up during a melodramatic scene, or celebrate a protagonist' victory? How do we make sense of scene transitions and non-chronological plot lines? We speak to neuroscientist Jeffrey Zacks, author of Flicker: Your Brain On Movies, to find out how movies affect and engage us.
