Episode Description

For many of us, movies offer our earliest lessons in love and help shape our expectations about what romance and relationships might look like.

They talked to “Speaking of Psychology” about how films depict dating and relationship truths and myths, and how well our favorite characters’ love stories hold up when analyzed through the lens of science.
