Movies we watch again and again
ListenGuests: Dana Stevens, Matthew Zoller Seitz, Cristel Russell
Has this happened to you: You’re channel surfing and stumble upon a movie you’ve seen dozens of times and two hours later you realize you’ve watched it all over again. Why do we rewatch movies when we know what’s going to happen? And what makes a movie worthy of multiple viewings? This hour, we’ll celebrate the films we love to revisit with DANA STEVENS, film critic for Slate and MATTHEW ZOLLER SEITZ, Editor-in-chief of RogerEbert.com. And hear from a CRISTEL RUSSELL, marketing professor at American University, about why we keep going back for more.
