Episode 14: Curtis's Canon #1 - INTO THE WILD (2007)

THE SEAT STRUCK MOVIE PODCAST comes out of the depths and INTO THE WILD on this week's episode! Join Curtis, John, Quinn, and special guest Claire from Pennsylvania as they take on Curtis's all-time favourite movie INTO THE WILD (2007), and discuss their favourite scenes, the divisiveness of the movie, the beautiful cinematography and acting, the real-life Chris McCandless and his philosophy, everything he left behind, and more. In the final section, they discuss films that they watched during the week. Will Chris make it to Alaska? What happened to the random 1946 International Harvester K-5 bus in the middle of the bush near Fairbanks? Will John fall in love with this movie too? Tune in to find out!
