Ben & Rob saddle up and gallop for Exploitationville with 2015’s ‘Bone Tomahawk’, directed by S. Craig Zahler and starring Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Richard Jenkins and Lili Simmons. When bloodthirsty cannibals kidnap a cowboy’s wife, it’s up to the Sheriff to get the boys together and stage a rescue mission. In their way stands hundreds of miles of hostile wilderness, personal injury, social injustice and a metric ton of trauma. Can they beat the terrifying troglodytes or is all hope lost in The West?

This film caught heat for it’s depiction of Native Peoples, made a fraction of its budget and killed the careers of some of its cast; yet this movie is considered a classic of the modern exploitation genre. Have we outgrown the tired stereotypes of the Western genre? Can Ben stay on topic for more than 48 seconds? And can YOU kill David Arquette?! Find out all this and much, much more when you CONSUUUUME!!!
