Description
<p>There’s a proud lineage of monstrous, gigantic alligators terrorizing humans in pop culture (just see previous episodes of this podcast). But that tradition stretches back to the earliest colonial days. White Europeans have always been fascinated by alligators. Join me as I discuss Alexandre Aja’s 2019 alligator film <em>Crawl</em> through the lens of William Bartram’s and Jacques LeMoyne’s centuries-old accounts of their Florida explorations. Stick around for a special guest at the end!</p>
