That train whistle blowing you hear is the Crit Club hustling their way to watch 3:10 to Yuma, Delmar Daves’ classic 1957 western based on an Elmore Leonard short story (which you can read here). This compact story puts a modest rancher in an unexpected position with an infamous gang leader, telling a timeless story of morality, humanity, connection, and dread. Did we find the ride comfortable or would we have rather been tied to the tracks? Listen and find out!

And join us next week for a Coire pick, where he has challenged us to watch the oft-banned 1976 erotic art film In the Realm of the Senses by Nagisa Ōshima.
