Anthony reviews the Netflix limited series American Primeval, focusing on its brutal depiction of the American frontier and surprising portrayal of early Mormon violence in Utah. He shares his shock at learning about historical massacres tied to Brigham Young and criticizes how modern media selectively targets religions—arguing that mocking Christianity, Mormonism, and Scientology is tolerated, while criticism of Islam or Judaism sparks outrage. Cumia breaks down the show's pacing, notes the typical drop in quality after the third episode, and rants about unrealistic plot points like a settler woman suddenly assimilating into Native American culture. He wraps with praise for the show’s visuals and cinematography despite its flawed writing.
