Directed by Baltasar Korm\u00e1kur and featuring a massive cast led by Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, and Jake Gyllenhaal, the film follows the true story of a disastrous trip up Mount Everest that left almost an entire crew dead. The prestigious cast and the film&#8217;s placement opening the Venice Film Festival led some prognosticators to suspect the film could be an Oscar player, but it ended up a straightforward disaster film that American audiences mostly dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode, we discuss how the film struggles to portray the reasons someone would want to climb Everest and Joe delivers his most hoot-worthy game yet. We also discuss Gyllenhaal&#8217;s recent questionable output, Elizabeth Debicki explaining things, and directors we confuse for Korm\u00e1kur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics also include mountain madness, author Jon Krakauer, and &#8220;wife on phone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br>Joe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br>Chris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><br>Katey: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kateyrich\">@kateyrich<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_8689\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1026-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=1026-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_264_Everest_-_with_Katey_Rich.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following Thanksgiving tradition, Katey Rich returns to This Had Oscar Buzz to discussant film with indistinguishable white male actors, and this year we have chosen 2015&#8217;s Everest.
