"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."

This month JJ and Steve learn a lesson in obedience with 2015’s Experimenter. Peter Sarsgaard takes us through the career of Stanley Milgram, and is accompanied by a cast of familiar and friendly faces: Winona Ryder, Anthony Edwards, Jim Gaffigan, John Leguizamo, Taryn Manning, and the late Anton Yelchin. Milgram is best known for his obedience experiments that asked people to administer increasingly painful shocks to a stranger in another room. Milgram learned that people will be obedient to an authority figure. So download this episode and push play.
