Summary

Almost since the beginning of The Cine-Files, John and Steve have been planning to tackle this incredible western. It was one of John's favorites and Steve had never seen it, so he held off one watching it until they were ready to do the show. It certainly was worth the wait and the conversation they had on the first part of this gorgeous and thought provoking films is one of their favorites. 

If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.
