The movie is from the fringes of the horror genre, but is more than welcome in a discussion about movie survival. Backcountry (2014) tells the story of two hikers, Jenn and Alex, who become badly lost in the Canadian Wilderness. They manage to keep their wits about them for a short time, before they have a run in with a wild black bear! We talk about a rod-for-your-own-back approach to food preparation; the pressures of a modern man to live up to unattainable levels of masculinity; and how best to take on a black bear, based on the advice of a 'How-To' blog with questionable expertise. All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... we don't know how much this will cost you, we just know how much you pay! Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
