Society of the Snow (2023) / Winter Survival Films #1 / Our Season Two Makeover

Back to the Frame Rate

Welcome to Season Two! We have so many amazing films to watch, discuss, and share with you. But now there are stakes. Each film is judged and we must decide if it is worthy of preseving in our falloutshelter. Oh yeah...did we mention that we have build a bunker five miles deep to save only the best films ever made due to the impending asteroid apocalpse? Listen to our opening for the full explanation or read our comic strip here for those that need a visual aid - Back to the Frame Rate Comic Strip.
We begin season two in the middle of the coldest time of the year appropriately with a block of WINTER SURVIVAL FILMS, beginning with the new Netflix release getting a ton of buzz and a foreign language Oscar nomination, 'Society of the Snow' from director J.A. Bayona.
