Boy Swallows Universe


BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE Trailer (2024) Phoebe Tonkin, Travis Fimmel
ONE Media Coverage

Life and times of a couple of teenage boys and their dysfunctional parents. Pretty great stuff. Cast of characters:
  • Eli, a precocious 13-year-old boy,
  • Gus Bell, his silent older brother
  • Frances 'Frankie' Bell, their mum, a recovering heroin addict, separated from their father
  • Robert Bell, an alcoholic.
  • Lyle, who has taken up with Frankie and is providing a home for her and the boys. He has a steady job, but he's dealing heroin at a wholesale level to make some extra scratch. He works in a prosthetics factory run by
  • Tytus Broz who throws a party for his employees at a restaurant run by 
  • Bich Dang who is also wholesaling heroin to people like Lyle. Her son
  • Darren Dang, a wanna-be samurai, goes to school with Eli.
  • Slim Halliday, an ex-con and friend of Lyle and his family. Lives in a trailer down by the river.
  • Alex Bermuda, a convict in prison and Eli's pen pal.
  • Ivan Kroll, villain, suffered damage to his face from a shotgun blast and wears a prosthetic from Broz's prosthetics factory.
We watched three episodes tonight and mistakes have been made and bad things are starting to happen. Corruption is pervasive in the police force, Tytus is beginning to look shady.

P. S. Soundtrack here. There were a couple of tunes that caught my ear. Most of it I've never heard. Some of it might be okay.
