Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack we cowboy up after the Netflix gang robs us at gun point and leaves us for dead in the desert of good western revivals with only our union suit to keep us respectable. you know… one of them grown man onesie with the escape hatch for comedic effect … oh no… has my poop flap been open this whole time…. well, I thought I felt a breeze. fixed! Now mount up! We got ourselves a big moving stink from 1985 with an all-star cast-ner headed towards the inevitable town in the title. Offend anybody lately? Only all the time.

Anywho, well aren’t we an unlikely grouping of traveling cowboys with morals and a sense of justice whose destiny’s all lay in that little dusty town off in the distance. We got the Lucky horse smoocher who is on a quest to reassemble himself one horse, hat and gun at a time, the gunslinger who can kill you with his horse and perhaps loves his family a little so hard it’s kind of creepy, the little brother who is definitely going to get us all killed one day … cause he gonna kiss the girl … and the rider who is literally looking for the guy who shot his pa. That ain’t right.

Randy, is it shooting them in the back if you yell ‘hey’ so they turn around first. cowboy law!

The final showdown is in town… Silverado.
Hey Paden… Good luck.
Everything is nice and wrapped up. All the bad guys got their come-up-pence and the town is free.
It’s not shooting them in the back if you yell hey before they turn around.
Killed by a hoof to the head.
I don’t wear my hat to gun fights.
