EPISODE 2: THE ORDER
from Crouch Cinema Corner · host Peter and Tim Crouch
Welcome back to Crouch Cinema Corner, where the Crouch Brothers—Peter and Tim—dive headfirst into films.This episode, we’re cracking open 2024’s The Order, a bleak and brooding procedural from Aussie director Justin Kurzel (Macbeth, Nitram, Assassin’s Creed—yes, that Assassin’s Creed). Set in the Pacific Northwest and based on chilling true events, the film follows Jude Law as a worn-down ex-CIA agent and Ty Sheridan as his local rookie sidekick, hunting down a charismatic white supremacist played with unnerving charm by Nicholas Hoult.We dig into everything—from the washed-out cinematography and stellar performances to the film’s meditative pacing, thematic weight, and that unsettling church rally scene. Is this movie saying something meaningful about America’s past and present, or just pointing at the darkness without a flashlight?Plus: deer metaphors, Enzo Ferrari comparisons, and why Nicholas Hoult might be too compelling for comfort. It’s a serious one—but we’re still having fun. Mostly. Probably.
