Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 14 ratings
  • Well, taste is subjective

    I love westerns but some of the opinions are just so bonkers. I tried three episodes and had to turn them all off. The ‘Lawman’ episode is a celebration of Michael Winner’s misogyny with an endorsement for ‘Death Wish 2’ with no discussion of the topic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 64: My Darling Clementine with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Q: What did you think of My Darling Clementine?
The guest expresses deep admiration for the film's visual poetry, emotional restraint, and character-driven storytelling, while noting controversial elements and the film's legacy within Ford's oeuvre.
Episode 64: My Darling Clementine with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Q: But at this point, Ryan, can you tell us what this movie is about?
It's about Wyatt Earp and his brothers coming to Tombstone, meeting Doc Holliday, and coping with law, love, and violence; the plot centers on character dynamics and the buildup to the OK Corral rather than non-stop action.
Episode 62: A Bullet for the General w/ Sarah Vista
Q: Which Western character archetype do you most gravitate towards?
The anti-hero, the loner with a world-weary conscience who operates in the grey areas of morality, often choosing the path that isn't clean but feels true to his code.
Episode 62: A Bullet for the General w/ Sarah Vista
Q: So, Sarah, you're in a Western. Is this Western a love story, a quest for gold or a revenge tale?
For me it's 100 percent revenge, plotted as a brutal journey that intensifies as the story unfolds, though it sits within a broader tapestry of loyalty, love, and the cost of power.
Episode 54: Lawman (1971) with Matthew Chernov
Q: What movie would you pair Lawman with on a double bill?
A Lancaster Western double feature pairing Lawman with Valdez Is Coming to highlight two distinct, yet narratively connected, sides of the same actor in similar period Westerns.
