    Season 02, Episode 06: What Lurks Beneath the Narrows Bridge

    Tacoma's Narrows Bridge is a regional icon for many reasons. There's the classic footage of "Galloping Gertie" buckling in the wind before collapsing in 1940. And fifteen years ago the second span opened, bringing with it the iconic "Greedy Gertie" toll. But the real lure of the bridge is what lurks beneath the waterline -- a fabled octopus of unusual size. Filmmaker Carly Vester tells the story of the bridge and it's deeper mysteries in her documentary 700 FEET DOWN. She joins us to talk Gertie, and explore our regional fascination with the mysterious giant octopus that haunts the Narrows.

    The end of year is famously a time for top 10 lists and reflecting on a year’s worth of movie achievements. But we decided to do it a little differently and look back 20 years at some of the movies of 2001 — a landmark year for movie franchises!
