Episode 42: Blood

After committing the ultimate crime while interrogating a suspect, two police detective brothers are plagued by guilt and the fear of being caught.

IMDb

It's time for another uplifting story from our favourite island nation. Blood is the story about how two drunk cops, who are also brothers, decide to beat a confession out of their suspect and then to death. Top notch police work. The day after they solved the murder, a real investigator arrests the actual criminal and then the two brothers act completely guilty for the next hour until they're practically shouting their confession at the top of their lungs, begging for justice. And even then, they don't get arrested. They just go for a walk on the beach. Have you ever heard of an anti-joke? Here's one: A horse walks into a bar. Several people get up and leave as they spotted the potential danger of having a horse in a bar. Blood is an anti-thriller. You know exactly where the train is going and you only wished that horses could talk so that the joke would be at least somewhat interesting. After the news, Geoff brings in an "old" movie, 2016 Best Motion Picture Oscar winner, Spotlight and then Gordon reviews Central Intelligence. Next week, we're watching Assassination.
