An Even After Media original
The Bar and the Brain
Where law meets psychology—and pop culture gets put on the couch.
Hosted by a lawyer and a therapist, The Bar and the Brain examines characters, relationships, conflict, trauma, mental health, and legal issues through the lens of television, movies, culture, and real life.
About the show
Conversations with something to say.
The Bar and the Brain brings legal analysis and therapeutic insight to the stories everyone is already talking about. It is smart without being clinical, entertaining without flattening complicated people, and always ready to ask what the culture—and the characters—might be missing.
