The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015)
from Movie Postmortem · host Reginald Hill
In this episode, we review The Stanford Prison Experiment, the dramatization of one of psychology’s most infamous studies. We discuss how the film captures the unsettling transformation of college students into “guards” and “prisoners,” the escalation of cruelty, and the complete absence of responsible oversight and scientific standards responsible for the whole thing. We also talk about the flawed methodology, the biased instructions, and the regulatory fallout that occurred after the real incident.💬 Follow us on Bluesky @moviepostmortem.bsky.social🎧 New episodes every week!
