Each week on Cathode Ray Mission, video store nerds Randy & Will plumb the depths of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and all the other streaming services to find the best and worst of big-budget cinema blockbusters, direct-to-video cult favorites, and everything in between.
This week Randy & Will watch The Nightingale, writer-director Jennifer Kent's follow-up to 2014's The Babadook. Set in Tasmania in the 1820s, The Nightingale follows the story of Clare Carroll, an Irish convict forced to work as a servant to the British Army overseen by an abusive commander, Lieutenant Hawkins. When Carroll is accidentally left alive after watching her husband and baby murdered while being raped by Hawkins and his men, she sets out for revenge with an Aboriginal tracker named Billy.
This film is incredibly violent and contains several scenes of rape, the killing of an infant, & racism so please be warned.
The Nightingale is currently available on Hulu.
