Hostiles

We continue our annual Christian F**king Bale Month celebration with a look at the 2017 film, Hostiles. Carla from Ok, Real Quick, and Sara join me to discuss Bale’s performances, why we must learn our history, the mistakes this film makes with the subject matter, and more. Trigger warning for discussions about racism, violence, murder, sexual assault, and violence against children.
