Amie & Jonathan discuss the extremely unconventional 'outdoors' film, ‘Captain Fantastic.’ It stars Viggo Mortensen — who earned an Oscar nomination for ‘Best Actor’ for his performance; it was written & directed by someone you wouldn’t expect; and it is at the same time hilarious, challenging, and sometimes maddening.

Today we discuss the 2007 film, Surf’s Up, with Tyler Curle, who is the perfect guest since he has spent much of his life in comps; he just earned a spot on the Freeride World Tour; and, Surf’s Up is his all-time favorite movie. Over the course of this conversation you’ll see why — and why all of us should probably watch Surf’s Up at least once a year.
