Hooray! I have been awaiting this very special episode being uploaded since the new site was launched. Even an Englishman like me loves saddling up for a good horse opera, and this great ode more than tips its hat respectfully to the genre.
You are welcome!
Well, Westerns did make a comeback, thanks to Eastwood. Remember Unforgiven in 1992?
Yes, and also Kevin Costner’s romantic epic Dances with Wolves in 1990.
And the True Grit remake in 2010
