2021-04-261h 26CelmatesOpen Season and Home on the Range: Man vs Wild vs Film vs UsWe square up with two films that explore the eternal struggle between humanity and the wild. Kinda. Not really. Mainly we square up with two films that managed to put us to sleep multiple times due to flat characters, poor voice casting, and absolutely zero stakes. Oh, and Randy Quaid outperforms Dame Judi Dench.
