> I remember what a drunk 17 year old Cherokee boy named Mitchel told me how to make a drop trap…

_-Incoherently blabbers an adventure show host sometime after finding a "Yoo-Hoo shrub"._

Things we all silently know to be true, but just can’t be proven:
Politicians are lizard people, your cousin-in-law's a racist, and of course… the survivalist TV host is a charlatan.

We’ve all thought these things, if not knowingly then for sure uncons… read the rest.

We’ve all thought these things, if not knowingly then for sure unconsciously. Tex Montana embodies this sprit with a paradox of juvenile humor and masterful cinematography that should have you laughing along no matter your sense of humor. Of course, not every movie is for everyone – the overly pretentious among us need not apply here.

With only a $1,500 and nothing but a mere outline of a script, the folks who gave us The Battery have a little fun out in the woods. You can’t take this film so seriously as it was clearly just something to do in between other projects – and it made a pretty penny on Kickstarter too.

Since first watching it back in 2016, I've probably re-watched this more than any other film (which is kind of sad, I know). The one liners and odd-ball quotes alone have become a staple in my daily life. It's because of that I have to give this film a 5, I enjoy it each time I see it and enjoy quoting it to people who have no idea what i'm referencing.

So if you ever wanted to know what would happen if your ’kinda off’, redneck-want-to-be, crazy cousin-in-law decided he could stay out in the wild for 30 days alone; then I’d recommend putting on this film (Its free after all), gabbing a few friends, a bunch of beers, and cram them all into your makeshift lean-to because it’s going to be a fun night.

Survive!
