Episode 121 - Bone Tomahawk

Kurt Russell delivered for us, as usual... but to everyone's surprise, Ryan actually liked Patrick Wilson in this slow-burn, modern, western-horror mashup. Skirting and/or deconstructing the more problematic aspects of the westerns of yesteryear, "Bone Tomahawk" manages to weave wonderfully constructed characters to broader themes, driving it all home for an overall satisfying venture.

Episode 121 - Bone Tomahawk 

Kurt Russell delivered for us, as usual... but to everyone’s surprise, Ryan actually liked Patrick Wilson in this slow-burn, modern, western-horror mashup. Skirting and/or deconstructing the more problematic aspects of the westerns of yesteryear, “Bone Tomahawk” manages to weave wonderfully constructed characters to broader themes, driving it all home for an overall satisfying venture. Plus, literal bone tomahawks and one of the more gruesome death scenes we’ve encountered had us appropriately “ooing” and “AH!-ing.”  All of this added up to what we would consider a perfect movie to “stream” when you get back from your next ramble.
