It is the official opinion of the back-up deputy that Horror Movie Weekly is One Badass Horror Podcast. In Episode 038, your late-night Horror hosts review the Horror Western Bone Tomahawk (2015). During this review, BillChete equates Bone Tomahawk to Jaws. One of your hosts claim that Bone Tomahawk is an all-time favorite. Another host says it’s the only Western that person likes, even though it “drags like a muffin on the road.” Join us to hear who said what — and why!
