J.A Bayona, yesssssss come through! I still maintain the Academy was on Some Shit for not nominating A Monster Calls for best picture OR best production design!

[drblind]

the "you're wrong about" episode on this was really moving and well researched

[martymcfly85]

I was also going to comment this as well. Very good episode.

[greatljname]

Yes! I think about this episode all the time. Such an incredible story.

[allons_y42]

it was so good! I love how they approach survival stories like this as compassionately as possible, and highlight how they maintained their humanity in light of everything. Also highly recommend their Oregon Trail episode and the Dyatlov pass incident

i feel like the 90 & the 2000s were very into incest but 2010s & 20s.... biiiig cannibalism energy

[lurkurheartout]

to be fair, cannibalism and incest are always buzzworthy to humans since ever. the no-no's of society and the macabre has had humans in a chokehold since ever. Nowadays we make movies, but back in the Victorian Era you'd have people that would buy bones from crime scenes or buy postcards of decomposing bodies etc. We've always been weird and fucked up.

yt folks used to have picnics at lynchings, though that goes from morbid curiosity to outright being ghouls.

[fernandocolunga]

im just talking about the movies, no doubt there have been fucked up humans as long as there's been humanity

[lurkurheartout]

there is something about survivals stories that I find really interesting and I will totally watch this.

This story is so amazing.
The survivors were involved in the production from what I read and they have spoken well of the director and the movie overall so I'm happy for them.

Can't wait to see it.
