The Grey (2011) Like Sad & Depressing, With Wolves

About this episode

The episode discusses the bleak and depressing nature of the film The Grey, featuring a survival story in the Alaskan wilderness.

Do you remember The Grey from 2011? Of course you do. It’s basically the cinematic equivalent of clinical depression… but with wolves. Join us as we follow Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, and Frank Grillo after they literally fall out of the sky and begin one of the bleakest nature hikes ever filmed through the stunning Alaskan wilderness. Between the plane crash, the freezing cold, the elements, and some very angry local wildlife, the odds of a happy ending are… not great. But hey, we’re going to hope anyway.
