    Jul 26 2025

    Encore! Encore! - This summer we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. Contining with some more rootin tootin escapades in the Wild West, lets take another look at two films rich some of the most ledgendary filmmaker's and talent to grace the genre, Stagecoach (1939) and Ragtime (1981)!

    A classic, beloved Western from 1939 - the watershed greatest year of cinema almost didn’t happen. At the time, everyone thought the Western was dead, except John Ford – he was right, they were wrong. The other film featured one of the greatest acting legends of Hollywood in his last and rivetting film role in 1981 as a tyrannical turn of the century police commissioner – this actor starred in his first hit role in films in 1939 in a classic gangster drama – any ideas?! …while not a commissioner my producer extraordinaire and wingman, actor and cinephile, John, Schwab polices this show with j’nai sais quoi so... Let’s go to the movies!
