595: "Enter The Hackman" | The Quick and The Dead (1995)


Listen Later

This week we’re saddling up with The Quick and the Dead (1995), Sam Raimi’s spaghetti western by way of a Looney Tunes fever dream. Sharon Stone rides into town with a score to settle, Russell Crowe tries to outrun his past, and Gene Hackman chews the scenery like it’s a steak he overcooked himself. Leonardo DiCaprio is all charm and babyface bravado, and every gunfight is a crash zoom carnival of smoke, sweat, and a ticking clock. It’s duels at high noon, showdowns at sundown, and the kind of over-the-top visual flair that makes you wonder if the camera’s going to start shooting bullets too. We’re locking, loading, and going full Raimi on this one.
