Popcorn Culture - Review: The Power of the Dog

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.
