hellorhighwater

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are becoming modern-day Robin Hoods and screwing over the blood-thirsty banks in the 2016 film from David Mackenzie, Hell or High Water.

I really can’t undersell just how sweet it was to watch these two bank-robbing brothers get one over the bank that tried to steal their recently deceased mother’s land. Word to the wise, if you find oil on your property, make sure you own said property as outright as possible. You’ll never be able to trust a bank as far as you can throw one, and I’d bet that’s not very far.

They will do everything in their power to further line their own pockets with your money. Sure, modern life doesn’t work all that well without centralized banking (sorry Bitcoin enthusiasts), but there’s the rub! The balance of power is tipped heavily in favor of the banks. Need evidence to support that claim? Read into the global financial crisis of 2008. They were handing out bank bailouts like they were candy.

Oil was found on the property of these characters, and what’s the first thing the bank does? Schemes to screw over the impoverished elderly woman who owns the house. Some big bullshit, right? What do her two grieving, pissed-off sons (one of whom was just released from prison) do to right this wrong?

They start stealing money from the very same banks that are actively trying to steal from them. Oh yeah, sweet, sweet retribution.

This sort of thievery is illegal, so a Texas Ranger is dispatched to find and arrest them. It goes to show just how unbalanced the scales of justice are that some Texas Rangers weren’t also dispatched to round up the assholes who tried to take the land in the first place. That’s another story for another time. Maybe watch The Big Short or something.

I won’t spoil much of the ending. Suffice it to say, things get messy. Like all messy things, they devolve fast. Guns are shot, people are killed, and there’s a simmering standoff that features some of the best glowering work you may have ever seen from a pair of actors.
