Where pop culture meets psychology, law, and real life.

Bar and the Brain is a podcast where an attorney and a mental health professional sit down to unpack the movies, television shows, and cultural moments that have everybody talking.

From toxic relationships and family dynamics to legal dilemmas, mental health, morality, and everything in between, we look beyond what happened on screen and ask the bigger questions: Why did they do that? Is that actually healthy? What does the law say? And what would we do in real life?

Expect thoughtful analysis, honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and the occasional disagreement as we bring two very different professional perspectives to the same conversation.

Because sometimes entertainment is just entertainment—and sometimes, there's a whole lot more to talk about.
