Bears (2014) vs. Grizzly Man (2005) - Amazing world of bears

The Goods: A Film Podcast · Jul 6, 2022 · 1h 12m

"Violent Ends" is back! Our semi-recurring format -- where we compare and contrast two movies with similar set-ups but very different conclusions -- gets a bear-themed outing. Dan shares two documentary excursions to Katmai National Park in Alaska to document some ursine friends.

First up is Bears, the 2014 family-friendly Disneynature film, where (surprise!) John C. Reilly narrates a year in the life of three bears. Then, Dan and Brian discuss the tragic fate of Timothy Treadwell, the bear-obsessed conservationist as they talk through the Werner Herzog documentary portrait Grizzly Man.
