Reel Rap jumps to Russell Crowe’s sole directorial effort ahead of a bold new season

After wrapping up Season 6 on Elaine May and Mike Nichols, Reel Rap moves to Russell Crowe’s lone directorial effort. In The Water Diviner Crowe plays a semi-mystic farmer who searches the stereotyped streets of Turkey for his three sons who are missing after the Battle of Gallipoli. In this episode Shane eats banana bread, Bennett demonstrates his Australian accent and shares how The Simpsons and Mary-Kate and Ashley informed Reel Rap’s sense of Australian history.
