Why do we rewatch the same TV, movies and content?

from Cold Supper · host Amy Ellen

I’m Amy, a media enthusiast, writer and late-night thinker. I’ve always had an obsession with TV, radio, random social history facts and ideas; those programs that aired on a random Wednesday November night in the 90’s and somehow become cult classics, artists who leave us craving more music, ideas that pop into your mind just as you’re falling asleep and radio hosts who feel like old friends. Cold Supper is where I dig into pop culture, nostalgia, and creativity, exploring everything from the TV that raised us to the fear of leaving projects unfinished, and the ideas that keep you up at night. Expect deep dives, casual chats, and a lot of thoughts of the past and the future.In this episode we discuss why it might be that we rewatch certain TV, movies and content, what the psychology is behind rewatching and sharing my favourite things to rewatch!
