Episode 095 - The Revenant
Alejandro G. Inarritu's compelling, challenging, gritty, dark, wet, cold, brutal, gorgeous, ugly epic The Revenant has burst into theaters exceeding box office expectations and leading the Academy Award nominations with 12 nods. This huge, sprawling, infinitely small film is the story of one man's grueling journey from near-death to nearly losing his humanity. Tom Hardy gives a vanity free performance as one of the most unlikeable characters on screen in a long time.
