About this listen

 Friends, Harry Potter, The Office, Home Alone, Love Actually… Most of us have that series or that film we’ve seen at least ten times. And yet, when stress kicks in or a rainy Sunday arrives, we sink into the sofa and press play again. It’s almost like we’re drawn back to stories we already know by heart. So what makes us hit replay? But why do we rely on these “comfort movies”? Are there any other upsides? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Why do we love hate-watching certain films and series? Why do we love horror films so much? Why are Christmas films so popular? A Bababam Originals podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
