Episode 5 Premieres Wednesday, October 2 at 9 PM E/P
Brus Post and his younger brother Joe were born three years apart, but the two seem to share the same brain … and knack for getting into trouble. Their childhood misdeeds started out small—harassing kids in their neighborhood, stealing from their neighbors—but as they grew, their behavior became increasingly strange, almost cinematic. The brothers worshipped the Nazis and dressed like Adolf Hitler, right down to the mustache, and worshipped violent gangster movies. Together, they created a gang that sought to keep their town ethnically pure by harassing immigrants and minorities. But when sedition arises from within, the Post brothers go postal, and their lives turn into the movies they’d grown up watching, thus begging the question of whether or not life imitates art, or if art makes some people evil to the core.
