I unfortunately haven’t seen enough of these survival films so I don’t have a list but I still enjoy yalls commentary. Another great show.
I could survive the woods no problem. I always carry a lighter and a Swiss Army knife, and I don’t even smoke. Boy Scout Forever!
Love your podcast guys!!
The ultimate survival movie: Homeward Bound.
Absolutely love you guys, love these films, especially The Grey as a fan of Liam Neeson. Can’t wait for you guys to face off in the Schmoedown.
Some of my favorite survival movies include, 127 hrs, into the wild (watched that and read the book in school), the grey (so underrated, such a great movie), the reverent, and buried (again another underrated ryan Reynolds is so damn good)
Gay.
“Live… and die on this day”
this is the most underrated show on collider, my fav was the nolan vs fincher
Buried was an amazing survival movie
Another fun show…as Drew walks outside to the cops checking his car…
Haven’t seen it in years but Alive was great. Based on a true story I think, South American Rugby team’s plane goes down in the Andes?
mother space is my new favourite thing 😀
Keep up the good work fellas, love listening to you two talking shit aswell as your insights on movies, greetings from France!
I love this show! Keep up the great work guys! NEVER leave me!
the grey was an awesome movie….i loved the edge to
127 hours is my personal favorite. It makes me feel like I’m there with him. I can barely make it through the whole movie, and that’s a good thing.
Maybe Swiss Army Man could count as a survivalist comedy? Also All is lost is great and JC Chandor is an underrated filmmaker
Alive!
The “takes a turn” moment in Lone Survivor is when they are at the cliffs edge and they decide the only option is to jump off the cliff. They ended up doing that several times and you are just like “when is this going to end?” . The Grey is another great movie that i missed in theaters, but thoroughly once I saw it. The Edge has so many great lines.
Win a goldfish here!
Another amazing episode, thanks guys!
Love the Life’s Too Short references!
Jungle!!
One could argue that Life Of Pi should come off the list as well.
SPOILERS!
The real antagonist is human, but in the story is represented as a tiger. It’s debatable because we only find this out right at the end, and it’s never 100% confirmed but heavily implied.
Writing this comment at 10 minutes in, just in case this comes up later.
Back Country is really good too. Most gruesome bear attack scene I’ve seen in a movie.
Lol love it, “really I have got a gun in my car right now”.
I grew up rural, but I never took to it. Never liked fishing, certainly not hunting. I’m just a city boy at heart, I guess.
The grey !! Also call of the wild
I’ll happily be the 3rd to say it… “Alive”
Also wanted to mention a movie I saw in theatres a couple years back when the Korean Film Festival came to our little twin isle republic of T&T. It was only 2 days and shit sold out fast so I only caught one movie: Northern Limit Line. Omg that film wrecked me. Would love to hear your thoughts if either of you got/gets to check it out. Have a great weekend, guys!
Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Primarily a comedy about 2 people lost in the wilds of New Zealand, they fight a boar and lead a crazy car chase in which a cop car gets flipped. I think it’s worth a mention even if mother nature isn’t as tough on the protagonists as she is in the movies you guys mentioned. Recommended.
We used to do a drinking game back in my younger days called the edge. Everytime they say “Charles” you drink, but better go with beer. They say that shit three times in a sentence at one point. Needless to say I’ve seen the damn thing hundreds of times.
