How to Survive: Everest (2015)

This week, Chris and Joe are talking about Everest (2015). The high-action retelling of the '1996 Mount Everest Disaster'. In a break from usual form, this episode was deemed inappropriate for analysis of 'how to survive'. The film tells the story of real people who were qualified professionals in climbing. It would be an insult to their expertise - and their memories if we (non-climbing experts) pointed out where they went wrong. Instead, we discuss the merits of one of the year's most exciting and enthralling action movies; the accuracy of the portrayals of each character, and how this film compares with other disaster-survival movies of its kind. For once, avoiding the question: How would you surivive? As ever, send your talking points to [email protected] - and visit www.howtosurviveshow.com for more. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
