Episode Details

We take another break from forcing Jason to watch all the Marvel movies to watch another Jason's Choice film, Winter's Bone.

• An unflinching Ozark Mountain girl hacks through dangerous social terrain as she hunts down her drug-dealing father while trying to keep her family intact.
• Rated R for drug material, language, and violent content.

Jason believes Winter's Bone offers deep cultural and social insights that aren't available in most other films (especially in blockbusters). Ryan delivers solid takes in his "Philosophy of the Reel" segment, while Jason introduces ethics into the mix Things get heated in several places as Ryan and Jason disagree (rant) about sequels, how movies are rated on Letterboxd, and watching edited movies. Join us as we dive critically into Winter's Bone.

Also, you'll be pleased to know that Jason got a new mic, so you'll no longer have to listen to him breathe for an hour.
