About this episode

The episode discusses the 2001 psychological thriller 'Frailty', exploring its themes and Bill Paxton's directorial debut.

Frailty (2001) is a psychological thriller about fathers, sons, and demons. This wacky film seems to have been lost to time, as no one ever talks about it, and it hasn’t gained any cult following. Still, it has a creepy atmosphere, a killer cast, and did I mention it’s Bill Paxton’s directorial debut? 0:00 Intros 13:30 - How to Get to Heaven from Belfast 18:30 - Taskmaster Series 19 24:10 - Frailty (2001)
