In this episode, Jenna and Hugh each look at two very different examples of the Western genre today in an episode that ended up packed with laughs.
As always, SPOILERS lie ahead.
First up, Jenna takes us deep into Rockstar Games' Western game universe RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2, and gets to enthuse as a gamer as well as a historian. Then Hugh tries and fails to control his laughter at the remembered jokes in reviewing Seth McFarlane's A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST, also starring Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Giovanni Ribisi and Sarah Silverman. He does nearly choke to death, but narrowly avoids it.
The pair discuss the roots of the genre, its evolution and how modern, younger audiences may or may not perceive the genre. In particular, how moving into modern comedy and open-world videogames affects the genre as well as people's perception of it.
