The Stories We Tell Podcast

A Bigger Boat


Listen Later

This weeks episode looks at the 1975 classic JAWS and breaks down the stories we tell ourselves about staying on top of the food chain. By looking at the film through marxist literary theory, post-modern feminist psychoanalytic theory, and sociology we can start to uncover our anxieties about human's most innate fear: not beating nature.
