In this episode, we welcome the wintery season and dive into Jeremy Saulnier’s most recent film Hold the Dark from 2018. It’s another heavy movie with quite a lot to discuss and dig in on. Michael breaks out the whiteboard to chart some of his own personal theories and interpretations of the plot. Jason questions one of the elements made significantly more vague in the translation from book to film. Dustin self-reflects about his hangups with Netflix Originals. As big fans, we also spend a bit of time celebrating the general filmography of Saulnier as well. And so much more!
