Why can’t we stop watching reality TV? Find out at the launch of The Reel Analysis with a look at the popular streaming series about love, lust, and longing in DTF St. Louis.
Psychoanalyst Tim Rayner, M.D. hosts, joined by special guest SDSU Professor Bill Nericcio, Ph.D., for a fun, insightful conversation about the pull of reality TV and what it reveals about all of us. Hear the show’s characters analyzed through a psychoanalyst’s lens. Note: the show itself will not be screened at this event, it’s a discussion and analysis session.
Haven’t seen the show? Come anyway. It’s entertaining either way.
Open to everyone. Bring family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who loves to analyze what’s really going on when we watch.
