Jackie and Greg are joined on the old dusty trail by Becca Deveaux from the "This Cinematic Life" blog in their discussion of Sergio Leone's epic spaghetti western, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST from 1968. Topics of discussion include whether the film is an anti-western, Leone as a mythmaker, a theory on Charles Bronson's character having been dead the whole time, a breakdown of Ennio Morricone's legendary score, and why more films need to swing for the fences.
#78 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.

Previous Episode
Contempt (Le Mépris) [1963]
Shots fired: Jackie and Greg are at their most aggressive when it comes to their wildly differing opinions of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave staple, CONTEMPT, from 1963. Topics of discussion include Godard's self-referential style, the allusion of gods and men, how the film is an apology to Anna Karina, and the cyclical nature of arguments. Will the show survive this episode?
