54: Society of the Snow (2023) "EMB: Eat My Body"

Why the Flick?

We're baaaack! That's right, Why the Flick? is officially returning with new episodes, but that's not all. This year, we're expanding our WTF family and introducing former guests Alex and Danielle as regular co-hosts! And with the Oscars right around the corner, we knew we had to kick off our season 4 premiere with *THE* definitive survival movie — Society of the Snow (2023). You might think you know the story of the 1972 Uruguayan rugby team that crashed in the Andes Mountains, but chances are you don't know everything. We talk about director J. A. Bayona's authentic retelling of the tragic miracle and what sets this one apart from other depictions. We also get into the narration choice, the cannibalism controversy, and the underlying goodness of humanity.
