Show Notes
Ah the Western, a film genre so famous and full of conventions that it's always a synch to parody and poke fun at, but Boris had never seen one before, leaving a massive gap in his steadily growing catalogue of film knowledge. Before this episode that is... this time, Sam decided to show Boris one of the most celebrated of all Western films; The Searchers (1956). Almost 69 years ago, this classic revenge-quest film opened new doors for the genre and showed the world just how well visuals and story can join up to make a film truly spectacular. Listen as Sam gushes over a masterpiece, and Boris complicates things with his fresh new take on the film and Westerns as a whole. An occasion when their rankings actually match up? That'll be the day!
