I love that we are caught in this strange spot in time where. Mr.Sunday and this podcast are still underground enough so that we al feel like a close nit community. However at the same time we get to watch as the popularity grows. We need a word so we know who has been here since the early days.
You guys should do an episode on movies you haven't seen in a really long time and only vaguely remember, but try to explain them in as much detail as possible.
My favorite westerns: 1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 2. The Searchers 3. Once Upon a Time in the West 4. No Country for Old Men 5. A Fistful of Dollars / For a Few Dollars More 6. The Revenant 7. True Grit (2010) 8. The Ox-Bow Incident 9. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 10. Blazing Saddles
Garner was in The Great Escape and was awesome in the comedy western, Support Your Local Sheriff. Also you really should have mentioned The Wild Bunch and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance as truly classic westerns.
I'm surprised The Great Silence or Once Upon a Time in the West weren't mentioned. Wyatt Earp is excellent by the way, so is Treasure of the Sierra Madre :D
Alright, I've been waiting for this western movie podcast! I contributed on twitter. also there's a Harry's in a local store near me, but the "too your door" is nice...
Solid Australian westernesque movie Mystery Road. Starr's Hugo Weaving and Mad Max's own Bruce Spence. Saw it on BBC iPlayer on whilst on a night shift totally took me by surprise how gripping it was
You guys should watch Django 1966, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Great Silence, Joe Kid, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Hang Em High, High Plains Drifter, Two Mules for Sister Sarah, The Searchers, 3:10 to Yuma (2007), Hombre, Dead Man, and My Name is Nobody.
Personally prefer Mitchum and Caan to Martin and Nelson but each to their own. :) The Shootist is another great Wayne western and would recommend if you haven't seen it.
1. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, 2. Unforgiven, 3. The Revenant. Shout-outs to the rest of the "man with no name" trilogy, Tombstone, Silverado, Desperado, Django: Unchained, 3;10 to Yuma, No Country For Old Men, The Lone Ranger, Shanghai Noon, Blazing Saddles, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Mason knows the LoBot backstory. You know, where he's denied drinking at the Mos Eisley cantina and he organizes a sit-in and gets named cyborg of the year.
Another western comedy I like, but was I didn't hear mentioned is City Slickers. I also like Shanghai noon too. I remember liking The Last of the Mohicans too at the time or maybe because I like the music.
Alloy of Law, by Brandon Sanderson is a great Sci Fi Western, it is really well written and well preformed on Audible. It is a relatively short book, though it is the first of 4 books in a series and it is a spin off of the Mistborn trilogy, so they is still lots of mythos and content to this book. I would say that if you are in the mood for a western setting with some nerd mixed in, this is worth checking out.
The Ghost in the Shell trailers, when you watch them all at once, are a bunch of weird imagery that makes no sense? Sounds just like Stand Alone Complex. This could be the rare faithful adaptation.
might have missed you mentioning but The Searchers is am amazing western. John Wayne is perfect because he's an grumpy old man who hates people who aren't Americans in it. Plus probably the best opening shot of any film ever if I remember correctly
The Proposition: Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone - A lawman apprehends a notorious outlaw and gives him nine days to kill his older brother, or else they'll execute his younger brother.
Appaloosa: Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Jeremy Irons - Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.
Support Your Local Sheriff!: James Garner - In the old west, a man becomes a sheriff just for the pay, figuring he can decamp if things get tough. In the end, he uses ingenuity instead.
Silverado: Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Jeff Goldbloom, John Cleese - A misfit bunch of friends come together to right the injustices which exist in a small town.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin - A senator, who became famous for killing a notorious outlaw, returns for the funeral of an old friend and tells the truth about his deed.
The Professionals: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Jack Palance - An arrogant Texas millionaire hires four adventurers to rescue his kidnapped wife from a notorious Mexican bandit.
John Wayne western - "The Searchers" is supposed to be good. We watched it in Intro to Film.. don't remember if I cared about it or not. My favorite westerns are as follows: Clint Eastwood
American Outlaw: A not boring Jesse James Story. Not at all historically accurate and make Jesse James out to be a kind of Robin Hood, which he wasn't really, but it was a fun movie with some good action set in my home state Missouri. Nothing ground breaking, but its fun competently executed, and worth a watch.
Mr sunday hinted at punisher warzone which nudged me into commenting that the Thomas Jane Punisher was very westerny. had lots of Mexican standoffs, the guitar music, the guns and general feel of the laws powerless to enforce justice
Not to mention Dirty Laundry basically being the same as the lone gunman passing through seeing the dancing girls and sweeping boy getting hassled by thugs, talks to the bartender who's seen it all then uses a bottle from behind the counter to rough them up.
On the off-chance that someone reads this... Here's a List of good John Wayne westerns: The Cowboys Stagecoach The Shootist True Grit Rooster Cogburn The Searchers Red River She Wore a Yellow Ribbon The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 3 Godfathers Hondo Rio Bravo El Dorado Rio Lobo Fort Apache Rio Grande McClintock Big Jake The Sons of Katie Elder
I think the extended audio of CoG should be released first. knowing that a second video with pictures is coming adds enough for me to want to watch both videos. but if I've already seen the video with pictures first, there's no reason to watch the audio only one
You missed Quigley Down Under I dont know if it was filmed in Australia but the setting was in Australia. It stars Tom Selleck as a hired gun hired to kill aborigines because he is an old timey sniper but refuses and has to kill all of an evil ranchers men played by Alan Rickman.
ps- you MUST watch 'The Proposition' lads, it really is THAT good. You're right about Nick Cave and the music but I've a feeling he might have actually written the script', or the story outline? I know he was heavily involved. The performances in that film are just towering (not to sound cliché), Ray Winstone, Guy Pearce and Danny Huston are immense, Emily Watson too. Cinematography is astounding as well, you can just feel the searing heat. Sorry, I've gone on, do watch it though, it'll stay with you, in a good way. Full of suspense and entertaining, as well as being a wonderful treatise on humanity, and lack thereof in late C19 early C20 Australia under British rule.
Jared Leto as Doctor Strange was discussed on a podcast called Pretty Much It a few years ago, that he was in talks to play him and all. Why is this news now?
the reason you have trouble naming what makes a great western, is the same reason you don't appreciate John Wayne stating 'he's not a tough guy'. Great westerns are not made by 'tough guys' who need to prove something and dark bad boy outlaw hero's. They are made by any character who personifies that spirit of independence of the West. and so a laid back cattle barren charachter who doesn't try to start fights but stands up for himself or the right thing when trouble is ready to role his way can be such a person without being a tough guy. McClintock, Sons of Kaiti Elder, The War Wagon, and The Cowboys are some of my favorite John Wayne Westerns that capture that independent spirit I'm talking about. Give them all a second look please.
You Aussie types never answer my questions (flippin' colonials!) but wasn't there a pretty good revenge one with Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan? It had a few daft bits where they tried to add some lofty themes, but in the main it was a real down n' dirty piece a la 'The Proposition' (which I love). Now then, go and throw another shrimp up your er' barbe hole? Best wishes, from Blighty. Always a Brilliant podcast, you always make me laugh and lift my spirits, whilst offering insightful and intelligent opinions (intelligent y'know for Aussies I mean. ;)
I love that we are caught in this strange spot in time where. Mr.Sunday and this podcast are still underground enough so that we al feel like a close nit community. However at the same time we get to watch as the popularity grows. We need a word so we know who has been here since the early days.
Open Range is a very good western, and Costner did that. 6 String Samurai is a futuristic western with a character based on Buddy Holly in it!
You guys should do an episode on movies you haven't seen in a really long time and only vaguely remember, but try to explain them in as much detail as possible.
I'd absolutely love a red dwarf episode guys
The quick and the dead. ...awesome western with classic gunfight compitition, all - star cast and great tension.
At first I thought the yellow power ranger-controversy was about Asians and driving. Bloody one-two punch.
So did i😱😱😱😱😱
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.
ɷɷ I Haveeee Watchedddd This Moviee Leakedd Versionnnn Hereee : - t.co/NdLgwVlw7a
"Icky Thump and there's uh 'Man and he gives you fish'"
You should do audio description.
SO thankful Butch Cassidy made it! LOVE IT!
Sad to hear Young Guns didn't get much love, but at least it got mentioned! :D
Hell or High Water is one of the best westerns I've seen.
My favorite westerns:
1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
2. The Searchers
3. Once Upon a Time in the West
4. No Country for Old Men
5. A Fistful of Dollars / For a Few Dollars More
6. The Revenant
7. True Grit (2010)
8. The Ox-Bow Incident
9. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
10. Blazing Saddles
Garner was in The Great Escape and was awesome in the comedy western, Support Your Local Sheriff. Also you really should have mentioned The Wild Bunch and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance as truly classic westerns.
I'm surprised The Great Silence or Once Upon a Time in the West weren't mentioned. Wyatt Earp is excellent by the way, so is Treasure of the Sierra Madre :D
Check out "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird", released 2010, it was a Korean western. Ridiculous, fun, and a great watch.
I loved the magnificent seven. One of my favorite movies of the year
Magnificent Seven was one of the best movies I've ever seen
Silverado and Open Range. Two amazing Kevin Costner westerns.
I've been following your show for just over a year.... I can't determine whether I'm feeling contentment or despair.
Alright, I've been waiting for this western movie podcast! I contributed on twitter. also there's a Harry's in a local store near me, but the "too your door" is nice...
Been waiting for a Western podcast for sooo long !!!
I was really hoping this was going to be about their favourite Best Western hotels...pretty disappointing :(
The outlaw Josie Wales. Love that movie
It's hilarious when you guys single out Powers Boothe. I was rolling laughing last year when you went on for a good 90 seconds about POWERS BOOTHE.
TRON Legacy is an absurdly underrated movie.
Solid Australian westernesque movie Mystery Road. Starr's Hugo Weaving and Mad Max's own Bruce Spence. Saw it on BBC iPlayer on whilst on a night shift totally took me by surprise how gripping it was
Every time James mentions his partner I think of Mason, as in his podcasting partner.
You guys should watch Django 1966, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Great Silence, Joe Kid, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Hang Em High, High Plains Drifter, Two Mules for Sister Sarah, The Searchers, 3:10 to Yuma (2007), Hombre, Dead Man, and My Name is Nobody.
A good John Wayne western? The Searchers, Stagecoach, Rio Bravo, Red River, Big jake? There's many more but there's a few. oh and True Grit.
El Dorado is my personal favorite Robert Mitchum and a young James Caam in it with him a quality movie
Alex Pattison I'd say El Derado was the weaker of the 3 Howard Hawks films based on the Rio Bravo storyline :)
Personally prefer Mitchum and Caan to Martin and Nelson but each to their own. :)
The Shootist is another great Wayne western and would recommend if you haven't seen it.
Alex Pattison I think I've seen it :)
Great podcast. Have to see The Outlaw Josey Wales.
not having seen the original seven samurai or magnificent seven I thought that the new one was real fun
i found the tee public shirts when i searched weekly planet. you were right mason!
1. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, 2. Unforgiven, 3. The Revenant.
Shout-outs to the rest of the "man with no name" trilogy, Tombstone, Silverado, Desperado, Django: Unchained, 3;10 to Yuma, No Country For Old Men, The Lone Ranger, Shanghai Noon, Blazing Saddles, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Mason knows the LoBot backstory. You know, where he's denied drinking at the Mos Eisley cantina and he organizes a sit-in and gets named cyborg of the year.
the Assassination of Jesse James is one of the most underrated westerns. somewhat slow, but I love how it plays like a history channel documentary.
Another western comedy I like, but was I didn't hear mentioned is City Slickers. I also like Shanghai noon too.
I remember liking The Last of the Mohicans too at the time or maybe because I like the music.
Kevin Costner & Robert Duvall in Open Range...amazing
Kevin Costner's also in the netflix mini series Hatfields & McCoys with Bill Paxton which is also pretty meandering, not a bad watch.
Alloy of Law, by Brandon Sanderson is a great Sci Fi Western, it is really well written and well preformed on Audible. It is a relatively short book, though it is the first of 4 books in a series and it is a spin off of the Mistborn trilogy, so they is still lots of mythos and content to this book.
I would say that if you are in the mood for a western setting with some nerd mixed in, this is worth checking out.
Jeremiah Johnson is my favorite western.
I love all of this
I think most of the John Ford And John Wayne collaborations are as good as they are iconic.
The Shootist and The Outlaw Josey Whales are also great.
The Ghost in the Shell trailers, when you watch them all at once, are a bunch of weird imagery that makes no sense? Sounds just like Stand Alone Complex. This could be the rare faithful adaptation.
After months of ineffectively tweeting, I finally got into an episode.
Senpai finally noticed me
Altman's McCabe and Mrs Miller is the best Western of all time.
Appaloosa is a great Western. I think it came out a year before 3:10 to Yuma remake
the good the bad and the weird is a great spaghetti western well worth checking out think ye would have fun with it
I like Red Dwarf. I would be the 4th person to listen :-)
I use Harry's and I like em!
might have missed you mentioning but The Searchers is am amazing western. John Wayne is perfect because he's an grumpy old man who hates people who aren't Americans in it. Plus probably the best opening shot of any film ever if I remember correctly
The bloody Searchers is a GREAT Wayne Western
I'd listen to a Red Dwarf episode. I would .
Do a Red Dwarf episode.
Apparently even goats need to shave. Who knew?
+Shijir D Bare skinned goat?

The first time you guys mention Fist Full of Dollars I thought you said Fist Full of Dogs.
I feel like a lot of people still have no idea the podcast moved to a new channel... You guys should promote it more on your main channel!
Hey Mr. Sunday, do you think it's possible to put moving images on the podcast?...I watch it on my tv, and it can burn the LED lightz out...
my favorite has gotta be the good, the bad, and the ugly
John Wayne western - "The Searchers" is supposed to be good. We watched it in Intro to Film.. don't remember if I cared about it or not. My favorite westerns are as follows: Clint Eastwood

Nothing ground breaking, but its fun competently executed, and worth a watch.
Tombstone is awesome, but Val Kilmer makes it.
Mr sunday hinted at punisher warzone which nudged me into commenting that the Thomas Jane Punisher was very westerny. had lots of Mexican standoffs, the guitar music, the guns and general feel of the laws powerless to enforce justice
Not to mention Dirty Laundry basically being the same as the lone gunman passing through seeing the dancing girls and sweeping boy getting hassled by thugs, talks to the bartender who's seen it all then uses a bottle from behind the counter to rough them up.
I love this podcast, but can you make it louder? None of my speakers are powerful enough!
Agreed, it is always so quiet :/
You should do a Ghost in the Shell commentary video...that way you can watch it without really watching it...:)
On the off-chance that someone reads this...
Here's a List of good John Wayne westerns:
The Cowboys
Stagecoach
The Shootist
True Grit
Rooster Cogburn
The Searchers
Red River
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
3 Godfathers
Hondo
Rio Bravo
El Dorado
Rio Lobo
Fort Apache
Rio Grande
McClintock
Big Jake
The Sons of Katie Elder
I think the extended audio of CoG should be released first. knowing that a second video with pictures is coming adds enough for me to want to watch both videos. but if I've already seen the video with pictures first, there's no reason to watch the audio only one
Bring on the Red Dwarf! You guys can make it funny again, yeah?
Check out Slow West. It is a very interesting and cool western.
Holes and 3.10 to yuma remake are great westerns
You missed Quigley Down Under I dont know if it was filmed in Australia but the setting was in Australia. It stars Tom Selleck as a hired gun hired to kill aborigines because he is an old timey sniper but refuses and has to kill all of an evil ranchers men played by Alan Rickman.
Quigley Down Under!!!!!
Do an episode on Xanadu starring Olivia Newton John
Last time I came this early, my wife left me

Jared Leto as Doctor Strange was discussed on a podcast called Pretty Much It a few years ago, that he was in talks to play him and all. Why is this news now?
Some people at Marvel were talking about the fact they always wanted Cumberbatch, despite also having Leto on the table
pretty much it used to be so good. I hope they get back on track
upvoted for PMI
bboyfan22 Yeah I don't think so though :/ that last video seemed like a definitive ending. Although I hope not...
A great time fun adventure western? Silverado.

The Ballad of Cable Hogue...or something.
How do you guy's not mention Hell or High Water?
Not a movie but no reference to Firefly?
Neither of them have seen Young Guns? Dang it, that's the only pre-Matrix western that I've seen.
Young guns is incredible
