Saddle up and get ready for another episode of the Oh Brother podcast.  Dan and Mike review the Oscar nominated film The Power of the Dog starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.  Based on the book by Thomas Savage and Directed by Jane Campion, the film follows charismatic rancher Phil Burbank who inspires fear and awe in those around him. When his brother brings home a new wife and her son, Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love.  With stunning cinematography from Ari Wegner and Oscar nominated performances from Cumberbatch, Dunst, Plemons, and Smit-McPhee, The Power of the Dog is a powerful piece of cinema and arguably Campion's best film since The Piano (1993).  Who better to review a film about two brothers in the West than two brothers from the Northeast!  This is the one and only Oh Brother podcast.
