This week on the pod we're heading back to 2007 to check back in on Into the wild featuring Emile Hirsch. If you haven't already seen this one... oof deep breaths it's a deep thinker of a film - go have a watch then hop onto the pod with us as we ask fundamentally whether Christopher McCandless was a hopeless romantic trying to lay his feet on a corner of the earth he could call his own, or whether there was a deep rooted privilege and arrogance that he couldn't untangle.
Into the Wild delves into so many of the existential questions that many of us will have experienced particularly in a post covid world - where we question whether a 'career' is something to be desired or actually a shackle upon us. We discuss whether Chris was desperately seeking connection, whether he found the realisation that things need to be shared to late or whether he was actually onto something by escaping into nature.
Finally we have a rummage around with the idea of whether it would be possible to escape into the wild in 2025, and whether our devices have tapped us in such a way that we can no longer escape technology and can never truly be off the beaten path.
As ever get in touch - we'd love to hear from you @byodpod on the socials.
