Cowpunchers!

Wanted: Sabata (1970)

Wanted: Sabata directed by Roberto Mauri and starring Brad Harris, Vassili Karis, and Elena Pedemonted. Episode Roundup: The Cowpunchers watch a baffling movie with a bounty of quick zooms, dead end plot threads, and period-inaccurate gaffer tape. Amy says you're all jacket, no shirt. Mel demands someone give these actors a hair brush. Stu observes a coot drinking dirty dish water.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid directed by George Roy Hill and starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross. Episode Roundup: This movie was a wild ride with a whole truck load of handsome! Amy points out that moving to Bolivia won't solve all your problems. Stu revels in the "College Dude" energy. Mel is pretty sure that a joke about Atlantic City from 1969 doesn't hit the way the same way in 2026. Work Sucks, Do Crime.
