Episode 172: The Night Comes for Us

The Silver Linings Playlist

Like many others, Gareth Evans's The Raid was a gateway for us into the incredible world of Indonesian action films. For what used to feel like a bygone era, these movies simultaneously conjure up nostalgia for '70s and '80s kung fu films while also transcending the genre entirely, and Timo Tjahjanto's The Night Comes for Us pushes what we thought those movies could be to the absolute extreme. Body horror by way of punches and stabbings, this film is relentless. We'll cover it all in this episode, so straighten up your tie and grab the nearest "wet floor" sign as we discuss the dumb logic of Escape from Tarkov, Jakarta's seemingly indestructible infrastructure, Grok going woke ("unfortunately"), and of course, that slutty little cow. You know, this episode sounds like a fucking gangster movie. Don't you think so?
The Night Comes for Us stars Joe Taslim, Iko Uwais, Julie Estelle, Sunny Pang, and Zack Lee. Directed by Timo Tjahjanto.
