Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie enter new territory with a look at Disney Plus' family-friendly historical adventure Togo. Willem Dafoe and Julianne Nicholson star in the real-life story of a musher living in 1920s Alaska, who must brave a brutal storm with his faithful sled dogs in order to bring diphtheria medicine back to his ailing town.
David liked the film; Ian didn't. But far from being a combative episode, this conversation digs into the ways in which a movie can be well-crafted and enjoyable to most people--while failing to connect with someone who really wants to love it.
Episode 489 gets all mushy!
