Each week through Labor Day, we'll be pulling an OTM gem from our vast archives for you to enjoy on the beach, in a park... or on a sticky subway, while imagining you're on a beach.

For the fifth episode of our summer listening series, we offer an exploration of the fear-inducing "uncanny valley," to help you pinpoint what's so creepy about some of your favorite summer blockbusters.

To hear more of our summer listening, don't forget to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts, and leave a review while you're there! And as always, follow us on twitter @OnTheMedia.
