Superstition Origin Stories

As we approach Halloween, we thought it would be fitting to explore the surprising origins of common superstitions. Ever wonder why a broken mirror gives you seven years of bad luck? Or why the number 13 is unlucky? We discuss the origin of these superstitions and many more! We also talk about why witches don't ride horses and list our favorite witchy movies. Then, Dr. Cohen gives his review of Blonde, the Netflix film about Marilyn Monroe.

Gross Antaomy is where pop culture and health culture meet. Dr. Jason Cohen and Ali address medical questions that the doc is asked by friends, family, and often strangers. We also love to talk pop culture and how it relates to health and medicine — like celebrity diets, Amy Schumer speaking out about endometriosis and our doctor reviews of medical TV and movies. We also splice in professional interviews, check out our episode with TV writer and The Resident co-creator Dr. Roshan Sethi, or our interview with famous plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey aka DR. 90210, and don't miss our Q&A with Miss USA Nana Meriwether and many more!
