Werner Herzog's 2005 documentary, Grizzly Man, is a deep dive into the misguided mission of Timothy Treadwell, the man who lived with grizzly bears in the Alaska wilderness for 13 summers until, yep, you guessed it. A bear ate him! We get into the big personalities of both Herzog and Treadwell while also discussing our perceptions of Treadwell's various instabilities and how such a situation was treated 20+ years ago, versus how it could be approached now. This is a dark and weird one, but you know us: we're here for that!
