The Cynical Historian

The Revenant | Based on a True Story (2016x29)

Air date: Aug 23, 2016

This one’s been a long time coming. It was worth the wait. Today I’m taking on The Revenant. I did a lot of research on this one, so let’s take our time and dig deep. By the end of this, I hope no one who watches this can take this movie seriously again.
