In this episode, hosts Garret and Scott weigh the artistic beauty of Sergio Leone's 1968 masterpiece Once Upon a Time in the West, and compare it against the film's lower profile as a pop culture artifact. Do fewer distribution opportunities help protect the film as a critical darling, or is relegating it to cult status a precursor to a short lifespan in the popular imaginary? Ranking #85 on the analytical super index, the dialogic duo assess the film's cultural significance factor as part of our "Film Listology" season of Special Topics in Media.
Hosts: Garret Castleberry, Scott McMurry
