Jeff and Chris Burkett discuss the unique place of the Western, as presented in literature and film, in American political culture. There’s a lot more to the genre than gunfighters, wagon trains, and Monument Valley, as all enduring storytelling genres reflect, in some way, the cultures from which they originate. In addition to thoughtful and lively discussion, Chris offers suggestions for classic Western films and television shows.
