Reel Rap: ‘Frailty’ (2001)

Shane and Bennett discuss the third most important event of 2001, Bill Paxton’s directorial debut in Frailty

When similar murders to “The God’s Hand Killer” begin again, Adam (Matthew McConaughey) recalls his childhood with his father (Bill Paxton) who claimed to be killing demons in order to prevent Judgement Day. But when Adam’s brother, Fenton (Levi Kreis), also begins seeing the demons, new questions arise. Reel Rap dives into this thriller that blends wholesomeness and religious extremism with a dash of humor. Shane also tells the story of how he cut off a toe as a teenager.

They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
