Education
Discussion of the 1990 film Arachnophobia. We talk about the ecology of the movie spiders as they relate to real world species, and about whether the film shows science in a bit of a bad light.
You may want to watch the film first and think about:
- How does the film depict spiders? Are they monsters or animals?
- How does the film depict scientists? Are the villains, heroes, or support?
