Episode 148 - Apostle

Get your Dan Stevens fill right here right now with this week’s creepy cult, folktale film! “Apostle” is a period-piece from the filmmaker that brought you “The Raid”, Gareth Evans. If you’re expecting an action packed punch fest, this isn’t the movie for you (well, save a couple cool scenes). Instead, we get a slow burn with a plethora of creative ideas, though they never quite seemed to coalesce into a cohesive film. NONETHELESS, the guys enjoyed aspects of “Apostle”, especially ‘Wicker Head’ (aptly named by Tim). Thus, the ratings amounted to a double “stream”, which makes perfect sense as it is streamable on Netflix.
