2 (2) Found Last Stand at Sabre River on a cheap DVD. But for some reason decided to wait with rewatching it until you guys did it on the show. So no pressure, but it is sitting on the shelf giving me the evil eye. Tom Selleck, David and Keith Caradine. Elmore Leonad.
1 (2) Thank you for another great episode and a great talk. Think I am more on Pax side with this movie. But fun to see Connery in a western! You guys keep talking about your lists, just curious, how long are they? And I assume that means that we will get Hellbent for another 10 years? At least.
@hellbentforletterbox.com are you aware they’ve remade Angel and the Badman? It’s out October 9.
