Rebel Ridge (2024)

Will & Jared discuss a Netflix original that is already being hailed as one of the best films of the year: Rebel Ridge! The film follows a black veteran harassed by police in a small southern town, forcing him to bring down the corrupt officers that threaten him and those close to him.

Is this modern take on Rambo: First Blood a thoughtful thriller or contemporary copaganda? Why is the internet so divided on the ending and where do Will and Jared stand on it? Who was originally cast as the lead in the film and then abruptly left halfway through filming for "vague" reasons? Listen to find out!

Rebel Ridge is available on Netflix.
