Come on down to Gilley's where the women are wholly unfamiliar with brassieres, the men are all scumbags, and the mechanical bull is the only way to show you're a boss. Yes, we hopped on the bull and lasted longer than eight seconds with the 1980 romantic(?) drama Urban Cowboy, which our guest Lori Ferraro grew up watching as she and every woman in America seemed to lust after a cowboyed up John Travolta. But how would Bud Davis play in 2025? Was this still his film, or was he outmatched by Sissy (Debra Winger) at every turn? Could we still root for Bud? Did we get too much of a glimpse into a dark side of Travolta that cast a pall over his entire filmography for the rest of the '80s? Were we left hoping that Sissy would just get to spite ride the mechanical bull off into the sunset all by her lonesome? The answers to those questions and so many more are contained within. Come and listen.

Urban Cowboy can be found on most VOD platforms Fubo, Philo, and MGM+.

Lori Ferraro can be found on Instagram and performing at The Siren Theater in Portland.

All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.
