Hello everybody. This is Jennifer Metteries. Obviously, this is not a regular episode. This is a bonus episode.

0:14.5

Previously, I did a bonus episode a few weeks back about Society of the Snow. I had not yet seen the movie. I had been wanting

0:23.1

to see the movie. I'd been hoping to see it on big screens before I could see it on the

0:29.8

smaller screen on Netflix when it was released on January 4th. I didn't get a chance to,

0:35.4

unfortunately, see it on the big screen because I think seeing it on the big screen would have been phenomenal.

0:43.2

Unfortunately, right after Christmas, I got the flu. I just kept testing myself and testing myself to make sure that it wasn't COVID, and it wasn't COVID.

0:52.1

It was just the flu, and it just kept going and

0:54.3

going and going. And unfortunately, I was not able to go down to Philly, which is the closest

1:00.3

place, which was playing it, and see Society of Snow on the big screen. So I didn't get to. But as soon as it

1:07.7

1:31.6

I have seen it maybe, I think, six or seven times at this point. So I kind of wanted to

1:38.6

soak in it a little bit. I didn't want to immediately come out and say, this is what I liked, this is what I

1:49.6

didn't like, because normally when I come out of a movie, I'm a little bit high on the movie,

1:54.5

and I am very excited about everything, seeing its flaws is a little more difficult for me to do.

2:05.5

It's really hard for me to do that in this particular case, because Society of the Snow is one of the best movies I saw all year.

2:14.4

And just let's put aside the fact that this is a story that I am utterly fascinated

2:19.2

with and have been for about 30 years now. Let's put aside the fact that I love any disaster movie,

2:25.6

whether it be about a real disaster or a fictional one, whether it be a terrible disaster movie or

2:32.1

a disaster movie worthy of Oscars. This was a really, really good movie.
