Apocalypto: Zero Wolf Should Watch Peaky Blinders

ep. 17: Brendan's survival skills are unrivaled. This movie somehow reminds Brittany of The Little Mermaid and Peaky Blinders. There's a big, huge, earth-shattering disagreement about a movie prop that prompts Brittany to ask listeners to weigh in. And FYI, quicksand is real; stay calm and lighten your load. Continuing "Our Favorites" theme for January is Brittany's next pick, Apocalypto (2006). -Music by Brendan and Brittany -Credits for the movie being reviewed: Writer(s): Mel Gibson, Farhad Safinia Director(s): Mel Gibson Chapters: (00:00) Surviving In the Wild (04:48) January Theme and Film (05:43) Separating the Art from the Artist (Me Too Non-Supporters) (16:44) The 6-7 Synopses (19:34) A Short and Very Incomplete History of The Maya (24:53) Hollywood's Responsibility for Historical Accuracy + Christopher Nolan's Odyssey (30:13) Movie Cast and Credits (33:17) Like, Love, Hate, Can't Believe (42:23) Plot Discussion: Deep Dive and Film Analysis Starts Here (51:20) The Pouch Argument (1:10:00) Swinging from Vines (2:19:35) Animals In Movies + Tiger Pee + Parks and Rec (2:31:32) A Sticky Podcast Episode (2:53:47) The Brittany Scale (3:00:45) Closing Thoughts + Next Week's Film Sources: Suicide Prevention (988 Lifeline) Apocalypto (2006) (IMDb listing) Yucatec Language (article/excerpt from EBSCO Research Database, maayatʼaan pronunciation) Maya (Brittanica Encyclopedia entry) Apocalypto - Making Of (by Mel Gibson - 2006) (video) "Leaf-Cutter Ants in Wound Closure" (article from Wilderness & Environmental Wellness via Sage) Peaky Blinders s3e6 (IMDb listing) Is Quicksand Real (Wildland Trekking blog post) Pluribus s1e7 "The Gap" (IMDb listing) 'Racist' Apocalypto Accused of Denigrating Mayan Culture (article) Retorno a Aztlán/Return to Aztlán (1990) (IMDb listing) You can e-mail us at [email protected].
