Episode 565 – Inside “Inside Out”

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s show, we’re revisiting a topic I talked about back on Episode 516, where I did an in-depth look at the Disney-Pixar film “Inside Out”, where the idea came from, and how it was developed. My special guest this week is a fellow podcaster and psychologist, and he’s going to take us deeper into the film and point out some examples that clearly show the film-makers went to great lengths to do their research and incorporate real-life psychological elements to Riley’s emotions, subconscious, and behaviors.
