Halló! Rob and Ellie head to Australia for the latest Baltasar Kormákur english-language action thriller, *Apex*.

Why Apex Fits the Podcast2:48 – 3:46

R

2:48

I should say this is an English language film.

R

2:50

Very much so.

R

2:51

But it is directed by Baltasar Kormakor.

Ellie CawthornHost

2:55

There we go.

Ellie CawthornHost

2:56

So for people who are wondering, why the hell are we discussing this film? That's your answer.

R

3:01

Yes, 100%.

R

3:02

Look, there are only so many Icelandic films.

R

3:05

We've got to continue down this rich vein of Cormacor films.

R

3:11

He's prolific and they're usually pretty fun.

R

3:14

So here we are.

R

3:16

And we will return with some more Icelandic movies at some point.

R

3:19

But please listen because this should be a fun chat.

Ellie CawthornHost

3:21

And I think fun is really quite an apt word to describe this film.

R

3:25

Yes.

R

3:26

It's like a sort of action-packed survival extreme sports movie, right?

Ellie CawthornHost

3:33

Mm-hmm.

Ellie CawthornHost

3:33

R

3:34

R

3:35

That's the word I was searching for.

R

3:36

Movie.

R

3:37

What's that word? It's a thriller.

R

3:40

Yes.

R

3:40

Right.

R

3:40

Well, I'll just jump straight in with a synopsis and we can go from there.

R

3:44

It's pretty, pretty lightweight.
