S4/EP5: TRUE GRIT
EPISODE 5: "TRUE GRIT" - The Coen Bothers' 2010 remake is brilliantly shot and brilliantly told through the eyes of Mattie Ross, a young girl out for revenge. It is proof that Westerns are still viable more than a century after their debut.

S4/EP4: McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Robert Altman's outstanding "North" Western is another product of the anti-hero. Warren Beatty, like Newman, was excellent as a bumbling outlaw who is no match for the Sears company trying to take away his business or the ruthless and cunning businesswoman, Mrs. Miller.

Episode 2 - BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID
Quite possibly the most famous Western of all time, this film broke the mold of the genre by having one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Paul Newman, play a bumbling bank robber who gets killed in the end. The film also featured one of the first powerful roles for a woman in Westerns with Etta Place, played by Katherine Ross.

Episode 1: "Most of what follows is True"
The Western Film was born out of the legends of the American West and folk tales of Cowboys, Outlaws, Gunslingers, and Native Americans. Beginning with the first "Western" star, Buffalo Bill to The Great Train Robbery to Stagecoach, I'll talk about how the Western became a Hollywood staple for more than 50 years.
