Episode 57: Curtis's Canon #3 - GRIZZLY MAN (2005)

"He's a big bear! HE'S A BIG BEAR! A VERY big bear! Wow!" Curtis, John, and special guest Katie dive into Curtis's canon this week for Werner Herzog's 2005 documentary GRIZZLY MAN, about a man who lived with bears in Alaska for 13 years before being killed and eaten. They chat about what they watched this week as well as their latest additions to their watchlists before talking about Timothy Treadwell, comparisons between him and Chris from INTO THE WILD and Joe Exotic from TIGER KING, Werner Herzog impressions, bear safety and fun facts, and the wonders of Alaska, and more. Tune in next week as the boys kick off spooky season with the final John Carpenter watch series entry THE WARD (2010)!
