Wes had some thoughts about the bear attack featured in the 2015 movie The Revenant, so we thought it would be a fun idea to discuss what the movie got right and what it got wrong about how that scenario would actually play out. And since we were already there talking about it, we thought we'd talk about the rest of the movie too!
