Back to the Future (w/ Jon Shelton)
Manage episode 377932832 series 3441224
Rivka and Frank are joined by Jon Shelton, professor of democracy and justice studies at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, for a conversation about the 1985 classic sci-fi comedy classic, Back to the Future. They explore the film’s focus on hyper-individualism as it relates to economic mobility, and critique the character of Doc Brown for his Silicon Valley style scientific approach, and the flawed sexual politics ascribed to the movie's only female character.
