Ever notice there's a lot of films with a (usually white) family that befriends a primate and the primate somehow teaches them a valuable lesson in life? Well, we noticed and we wanted to start talking about them!

Enter Ape-teur Theory! An audio podcast where we discuss these films and look at some of the practices of filmmaking and animal wrangling. In our first episode, we're diving into the cinematic classic, Spymate.
