    • Film History

In the fifth episode of The Annotated Eighties, Amy and Paul put on their fanciest western boots and discuss 1980's Urban Cowboy. They discuss the film's somewhat odd timeline, John Travolta's persona and the anti-disco backlash of the era, homoerotic gaze, Debra Winger and Scott Glenn's fantastic acting, new journalism, and prison rodeos. Plus Paul cannot help but do a bad Travolta impression.
