About this episode
Jeremy and Chris Arnsby discuss the 1966 film The Shooting and its themes.
Jeremy is joined once again by Chris Arnsby for a study of 1966 "acid Western" The Shooting, directed by Monte Hellman and starring Warren Oates, Millie Perkins and Jack Nicholson. As they trek through the film's unforgiving landscape, they consider such topics as Live Aid, dramatising Elvis Presley's life in real time, the Midnight Run TV series, extreme efficiency in filmmaking and whether the Western is even a genre.
