#284 - Romper Stomper

Romper Stomper is a confronting Australian drama set in 1990s Melbourne that follows a violent gang of neo Nazi skinheads whose hatred and reckless behaviour slowly tear apart their own unstable world. Starring Russell Crowe in one of the role's which launched his career, the film throws viewers directly into the ugly mindset of its characters, forcing us to experience the story through their deeply unpleasant perspective. Watching this well known Aussie film for the first time, we found there was a lot to admire in how brutally the movie commits to its premise, delivering violent and memorable moments, and some powerful reveals along the way, all building toward a dramatic and surprisingly clever ending. Plus after the review, we turn to the small screen with reactions to several new TV trailers including the final season of The Boys, Beef Season 2, and DC’s Lanterns.Join a crew of wannabe film critics review a different movie every week, and discuss other nonsense.
