3D's Character Assassination

Podcast exploring films presented by Dr. Kevanne Sanger (PhD) and Dave (Actor). We are looking at films and their main protagonists through the lens of a psychologist and an actor. What motivates and drives their actions, what filming techniques speak louder than words, and what things just don’t really make that much sense… in our opinion, anyway. We’ll leave that for you to decide.
