RFR Q&A #207: The Psychology of Fandom

/ Rebel Force Radio LLC/

STAR WARS fandom has become more of a communal experience with online social interaction leading the way. But in the wake of shows like THE ACOLYTE, fan reaction is very mixed and some are being extremely vocal in their critiques of the show, exposing attitudes about everything from casting to story to the showrunner herself. These debates can range from interesting to entertaining to shocking, and often reveals what "type' of fan the person is. RFR V.I.P. Jeremy Lanning is a licensed psychotherapist and he joins us this week to share his professional takes on fandom reactions along with examples from his experience as a therapist. Join us as we discuss THE ACOLYTE, THE BAD BATCH and the relationship between fans and the franchise itself.
