Hold Onto Your Horses -

Welcome to The Spaghetti Silver Screen Saddle Show!! A limited-engagement summer roundup of Western film history, critique, and review.

This 12-week series is part film rodeo, part time-traveling stagecoach through the dustiest corners of Hollywood history. Each week, we’ll focus on a different theme, from spotlighting iconic films, unpacking hidden histories, and tipping our hats to outlaws, lawmen, legends, and the landscapes they rode in on.

From the roots of the genre to Spaghetti Westerns, antiheroes, revisionists, and modern-day Mavericks, we’ll explore how the Western has both shaped and reflected the myths of America. Some posts will lean historical, others critical or review-focused.

So whether you’re a lifelong cowboy or just curious about what makes the Western tick, this is your invite to ride along. New entries (almost!) every week through the summer.

This show’s got a clear beginning, a clean end, and one hell of a view along the trail.

Alright cowboys lets saddle up!
