The gang tries to see just how expansive the Western movie can get- from multiple genres, to the tropes being used in other movies, to the Neo-Western.

We talk about several examples throughout our discussion including Tombstone (and can't help but quoting the entire episode), Unforgiven, Brimstone, Hell or High Water, 310 to Yuma, Book of Eli, Mad Max Fury Road, The Magnificent Seven, and many others.

Agenda includes identifying Western tropes, examples from every genre, guessing a nontraditional western based on a synopsis, our favorite qualities, and our favorite movies.

Mr Vozly changed the course and watched 2025's Sinners instead of Avatar. Sinners? In a chapter about Indigenous Representation?

Flying solo this episode, he analyzes the movie and relates major aspects of it to previous discussion points in Indigenous Representation episodes.

Up next in our chapter on Indigenous Representation is the Academy Award nominated documentary Sugarcane. We talk about the tragedies that Sugarcane sheds light on, and how impactful they are even to today in native communities. We discuss other hardships depicted in the movie that aren't as exclusive as one may have thought. In an episode full of harsh topics, we also make sure we highlight what made as proud to see from Sugarcane.

PLEASE note, the subject matter is real and may be difficult to hear i.e. sexual abuse, murder, mental health.
