This week we finally tackle Baskin.

It starts like a grimy cop movie. Guys in a patrol car. Dumb jokes. A late-night call that feels routine. Then they get sent to an abandoned building, and from there the movie just keeps going down. Literally.

The shift is what makes it work. You’re grounded for just long enough to feel stable, and then that stability disappears. The film stops explaining itself. Scenes stretch. Conversations feel wrong. The deeper they go, the less it feels like a mistake and the more it feels like something waiting.

We spend a lot of time talking about the Father. Not just how he looks, but how he carries himself. He isn’t loud. He isn’t rushed. He feels certain. That calm is what makes him stick.

We also get into the way the movie handles power. These are men who think they’re in control. Uniform, authority, weapons. None of that matters down there. The movie strips them down slowly, and it doesn’t offer an easy way out.

The ending isn’t clean. It loops back on itself. It leaves you sitting with it.

If you’ve never seen Baskin, this is one of those watches that feels less like entertainment and more like you stumbled into something private.
