In which Alex rants at their co-hosts about Into The Wild -- the true-ish story of fail-survivalist Chris McCandless. We talk about the movie’s faux-inspirational aesthetics and how they got at least 15 people killed, and we also explore the dark and baffling recesses of Sean Penn’s mind as we talk about the changes he made to the story. A lot to unpack, as always.
