On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a relentless mission to avenge the lives of our loved ones in the 2020 film from Anders Thomas Jensen, Riders of Justice.
With elements of a funnier Taken, the series proving that knowing Liam Neeson means you will one day be kidnapped, this Danish film transforms a tragedy of immense proportions into a thriller that may only work from a Scandinavian country.
It’s been proven time and again that those countries understand how to produce snowy mystery films and tv shows that are a step above the rest of the world. Heck, there’s a whole genre of books written by Scandinavian authors that feature the sort of tone that infuses this film.
It’s one of the reasons why I would love to go to Denmark or Sweden or Norway. Not necessarily because I want to risk my life (note: I’m sure those countries are remarkably safe places, especially compared to my home country), but because I wouldn’t mind them making a gripping film series about me.
I know I’d want to see it: A well-meaning podcast host suddenly finds himself hot on the trail of a creepy serial killer who only works when the Northern Lights shine over the world. The story just writes itself at that point!
Oh, and the film we’re talking about this episode is amazing. Make sure you watch it.
