In this episode of The Flipside, host Troy is joined by filmmaker Jason Monroe to dive into the timeless appeal of the Western genre. Troy reflects on his childhood fascination with cowboys and the rugged American West, setting the stage for a discussion on two iconic Western films: Shane (1953) and Unforgiven (1992).

Jason shares insights into Shane, directed by George Stevens, emphasizing the film’s cinematography and its moral complexities. The conversation touches on how the film subverts typical Western tropes, focusing on a young boy’s hero worship and lessons about violence and restraint.

Troy’s pick, Unforgiven, directed by Clint Eastwood, explores similar themes of redemption, justice, and the burden of violence. The hosts discuss how Unforgiven offers a gritty, introspective take on the Western, with Eastwood’s character grappling with his violent past.

Together, they analyze the flawed, yet deeply human characters that define these films and how the Western genre speaks to the enduring hope for redemption.

Troy, Kurt and Nate discuss the songs, songs of the South without any sweet potato pie and they never shut their mouths. In this episode, which is longer than the usual format, The Flip Side finds their way through topics that seem to come up naturally when talking about the South. A beautiful land with wonderful people and good food. Also, a tainted history steeped in controversy. Although we know the answer to the many sided die that is life will not be landed on in this episode, we still feel it worth the while to open a dialogue and discuss these topics. All, while enjoying a cocktail.

Sweet Home Alabama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35W_FWCT9Q
