Why do we enjoy the movies we like, despise those we don’t and disagree about that with our friends? What is going on in the brain when we watch a movie? How accurate are movie critics? What makes a good movie? Are we all seeing the same movie or are people’s eye movements so differently that they are effectively all watching a different movie? Can we make Hollywood great again or are we doomed to sequels and remakes of superhero franchises forever?
We will explore these and other questions in our Oscar special.
