During a news segment about Mel Gibson’s ASL-interpreter controversy on episode 1900, the conversation turned to his track record as a director; co-host Rob Dew gave Apocalypto a genuine, unprompted compliment: “What’s interesting is that as much hate as he gets, he always, pretty much every movie that he directs is just awesome. It’s amazing. The Apocalypto, amazing movie. Whether it’s historically accurate all the way or not, it doesn’t matter.”
It’s incidental to a tabloid-controversy news item rather than a deliberate “go watch this” recommendation, but the praise itself is specific and genuine — worth a Quick Mention for Apocalypto fans and the curious alike.
Amazon: Available — Apocalypto (Blu-ray).
