单集简介 ...

When mild-mannered David Banner gets mad he transforms into the raging Incredible Hulk. Dr Laurie Santos loves this comic book tale - because it reflects real life. Intense things like anger, pain, even hunger, can cause us to act in extreme ways that we might not predict beforehand or forgive afterwards. When we're in so-called "hot states" we might become a total stranger to ourselves. This can have a serious impact on our happiness, by stopping us properly planning for how we'll react to strong emotions and causing us to be unfairly harsh on our inner Hulks.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Pushkin.

  • Hello.

  • I can see you.

  • Okay, yeah.

  • I'm hanging out with my mom over Zoom today to take a trip down television memory lane.

  • Okay, I'm ready.

  • Mom and I are still huge fans of the TV shows I grew up with when I was a kid.

  • You watch a lot of cartoons, you know, E-Man and Thundercats.

  • We're also really into live-action superhero TV.

  • Buck Rogers, the greatest American hero, and Linda Carter's Wonder Woman.

  • But today we're watching the one superhero show that caught my imagination the most.

  • That show was The Incredible Hulk, starring Bill Bixby and 80s bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno.

  • In the show, scientist David Banner is accidentally exposed to a bunch of gamma rays,

  • which mess with his body's chemistry.

  • Now, whenever Banner gets angry or emotional,

  • He experiences a terrible reaction that transforms him from a normal,

  • mild-mannered researcher into an enormous, muscular rage monster, the Incredible Hulk.

  • Oh, and somehow the whole intense emotions thing also makes him green.

  • Banner worries a lot about the emotional demon that lurks inside him.

  • He also spends a lot of time warning people about the consequences of pissing him off.
