Why we love to rewatch our favorite shows + rewatching rituals - Ep 117

Are you a serial rewatcher who prefers comfort shows over new releases? I haven’t seen The Odyssey or Spiderman yet, but I am on my 12th (??) rewatch of Gossip Girl. What does that say about me as a person? Today I’m talking about why we love to rewatch shows even when we have more options for what to watch than we ever have before. I’m also sharing what I consider to be comfort watches for and the different types of rewatches you may do. Plus we’re talking about the paradox of choice when it comes to choosing content, why we find calm in repetition and knowing how things will turn out and more! If you like to lock in and rewatch your favorite show (particularly during a certain time of year) you’ll love today’s episode. If you never rewatch things, maybe this will inspire you to revisit media you loved on your first watch.Mentioned in episode 117:Juicy perfume campaignReality TV dating shows episodePsychology today articleMount Rushmore of media episodeLong-form content renaissance episodeFollow Create & Consume:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | PinterestFollow Austen:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | BlogPodcast inquiries can be sent to [email protected] the website: https://www.createandconsumepodcast.com/Music credit: Babak Bazgosha via Pond5
