On this episode, we review the new Western drama that's being hailed as a frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars, The Power of the Dog. If you've always wanted to see actor extraordinaire Benedict Cumberbatch chew scenery as a rude, domineering rancher in 1920s Montana, then The Power of the Dog is nothing short of a treat! Based on the 1967 novel of the same name by Thomas Savage, the film also stars Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. We discuss the film's immersively gritty scenery and cinematography, the unfiltered performances from everyone involved, as well as the steady return of old Western cinema.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.
