Popcorn Culture - Review: The Harder They Fall

On this week's episode, we check out Netflix's latest foray into big budget Western cinema with The Harder They Fall. After discovering that his enemy is coming out of prison, an outlaw by the name of Rufus Black (Idris Elba) gets the old gang back together to finally have his revenge. The film's stacked cast also includes Zazie Beetz, Regina King, Jonathan Majors, and LaKeith Stanfield. We discuss the palpable chemistry between the film's ensemble cast, the resurgence of classic genres on streaming platforms, as well as the film's modern approach to old school storytelling.
