Descripción

Jimmy and Peter head into Hollywood’s treacherous development hell with returning guest Michael Punke, author of The Revenant, and celebrated screenwriter Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist). What begins as a conversation about screenwriting and adaptation opens into something deeper: mountain men, Jeremiah Johnson, the creative power of empty places, and the value of stripping a story down to its bare essentials. Along the way, they kick around the question of whether's America’s independent spirit began with a man in buckskins trying to sell a beaver pelt?

episode The Dogs of Kilimanjaro artwork

The Dogs of Kilimanjaro

Fresh off a Kilimanjaro hike for a worthy cause, veteran and Sierra Delta founder BJ Ganem joins Peter and Jimmy for a conversation about adventure, purpose, and the strange ways we find our bearings in life. Drawing on his deep passion for our four-legged companions, BJ explores how man’s best friend may also be the best safeguard against ever truly getting lost. Along the way, Peter travels across Canada with a dog sled team, while Jimmy reflects on why sharing your life with a pet might be the closest thing we get to a preview of heaven.

Revenants and Mountain Men

Peter and Jimmy discuss being lost, the art of historical fiction, and getting lost in Hollywood development with Michael Punke, author of "The Revenant." While in their conversational wanderings, they find time to reflect on how physical ailments, injuries, and mental health issues amplify what it means to be without a map. Michael also takes a moment to describe building a rifle.
