"Deserves got nothin' to do with it." The Western genre is one of the richest and long lasting texts in film history. There's almost too much to delve into in just one episode, so Jack and Josh will almost assuredly do a follow up episode down the line, but we wanted to tackle one of the most well loved and much debated genres to grace the film landscape. In this episode, we tackle the different eras, we rank different tropes, we talk about our favorite shootouts. And of course, we finish off with our favorite movies of the Western genre. Saddle up, it's a wild ride.

Jack is out of town this week so Josh's wife, Rebecca joins the podcast and we talk about some of our favorite topics to talk about: Food, movies, and food IN movies. Sharing a meal can be a similarly communal experience like watching film. They bring people together, they generate conversation, and the great experiences will create lasting memories. In this episode, we discuss various uses of food and/or cooking in movies that both center and do not center around food. We discuss our own personal favorite meals and, of course, finish off with our favorite food movies.
