What film has had the greatest impact on the life of Blister’s managing editor, Luke Koppa? The one we’re talking about today. ‘180° South’ details the adventures, friendship, and philosophies of Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tomkins; it documents Jeff Johnson’s attempt to retrace their 1968 trip to Patagonia; it features an all-time soundtrack and the animation & artwork of Geoff McFetridge; and the film is just as relevant today as it was when it came out 15 years ago.

Among everything else, we discuss what’s aged the best, what’s aged the worst, who needed BLISTER+ the most, and more.
