Episode: 369 • Duration: 01:06:38
We continue our western coverage heading back to 1957 with 3:10 to Yuma, the original and not the remake. Neither of us have seen this classic, but we both picked up on a tinge of toxic masculinity running through the whole thing as one man battles his own cowardice to try to turn over an outlaw to police by making the 3:10 train.
We’re also drinking Breckenridge Brewing Company’s Summer Cerveza with salt and lime!
We’ve got one more surprise episode of Westward Ho! coming next week!

Howdy partners.
Welcome back to the Blood of Black Rum podcast Red Hot Action Summer.
This year, we’re not going to a specific era.
Instead, we’re heading out West, what we’re calling Westward Ho.
This time you’ll find American Westerns from all kinds of eras.
0:19
There’s sure to be some Clint Eastwood, some Pecked Pot and Ethan John Wayne with a couple of surprises thrown in as well to tell your mom pop, come on out, saddle up and listen in all August for red hot action summer Westward Ho.
0:40
Hey guys, welcome back to the Blood and Black Chrome podcast.
I’m Ryan from closeweightation.com and I’m joined with my Co host Martin.
How’s it going?
Yeah, we’re doing pretty well.
We are nearing the end of our red hot action summer.
This time.
0:56
You know, we’ve been, we’ve been through a few episodes here as we’ve gone westward on Westward Ho, covering all kinds of American Westerns.
If you’ve been paying attention, we’ve been doing different eras of the American Western, been trying to trying to hit him.
1:13
Most of them, maybe not all of them, but most of them, including stuff like Clint Eastwood movies.
You know, we had to get John Wayne in there, even though he’s not really our favorite.
And today we’re actually going back to more of a classic style film, one that has already been remade, for one thing, based off of a book by Elmore Leonard, which I have not read, although I do like Elmore Leonard.
1:39
He’s a great writer, has done a lot of stuff that I like.
I’ve read a few of his novels and I’ve obviously I’ve a huge fan of Justified, which are based off of his short stories.
So that’s always A+ to see a movie from him.
1:55
And and to be honest with you too, a very surprising that he had such an illustrious career because this film released in 1957, which means the novel, I didn’t bother to look it up, but the novel that it’s based on must have been prior to that.
So the man was writing for a long, long time, just to say the least, which is very surprising.
2:18
But yeah, we’re talking about the 1957 film 310 to Yuma, not the remake.
The remake starring, yeah, Russell Crowe.
Yep, the we I’ve never seen that one.
Have you?
2:34
Have you seen the remake?
I’ve seen parts of it, the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah, I’ve, I’ve never never checked it out for some reason.
I’d.
And so again, like I kind of coming into this film, you know, and I’ve never seen this original film either, but I’m coming into it kind of like without experience.
2:53
I don’t really have anything to compare it to.
I don’t know what the remake does or doesn’t do well.
And the the surprising thing about this movie is that when you do a look up online, the first things that you’ll see come up are the remake, which is not often the case when you search movies.
3:12
But maybe it’s just recency bias of like it’s it was released in 2007, so it’s just a little bit more recent and that’s what you get.
I’m going to do the same thing with True Grit and see what happens.
Yeah, actually, you know what?
OK, so the same thing happens.
You get the the the remake before you get the original, which I guess is just recency with Google, but I did find it interesting.
3:35
Like most of the things that you find, it’s going to be about the remake 310 to Yuma and not the original.
Even so, though, this movie has gotten, I feel like fairly recently appreciated by a Criterion Collection release.
3:53
It is in the Criterion Collection and that’s actually the version that I watched for this episode.
So what do you know about 310?
Umo?
What?
And I mean, the 1957 film, what?
What?
Anything stand out to you?
4:08
You hadn’t seen it before, right?
Nope, I’ve heard it.
Like I said, seen bits and pieces of the remake back in college, we on our college channel up in Oswego, like the dedicated one, they would, you know, have obviously Oswego broadcasting stuff, but they would put movies would be on there too.
4:30
And usually it would be movies that were just recently like released in theaters, not quite out on DVD yet, but but like, just like, you know, so like because they would like, you know, do movie nights there too.
4:47
Like, like it’s campus centre where you could go and, you know, see, like a movie like Avatar when it first came out.
Yeah.
You know, so like that kind of stuff, like would circle onto the channel, like the channel there before stuff would get released.
So 310 of Yuma was one of those that like it just like randomly caught bits and pieces up and just like, you know.
5:08
Got you.
And obviously just, you know, as a general Western fan, have you know heard of the film and just never got a chance to sit down and watch it?
Yeah, the same for me.
I’ve obviously heard of it.
You know, growing up in our high school years in 2007 would have been, you know, right at the time when we were seniors.
5:30
I do remember the the remake releasing, but never actually saw it.
I find that the thing that really stands out to me the most about this movie is the title.
The title is something that I think is like a kind of an attractive feature that it has.
It’s just sort of like makes you go 310 to Yuma.
5:49
That’s the, you know, it’s like a just an interesting idea and. 10 after to Yuma.
Yes, 3:10 to Yuma.
I don’t know if that one would have worked as well, you know, or you know, like 1/10 of a tenth of the hour to you.
6:07
I do.
I I, I do like the poster for this.
It looks very, you know, the movie poster.
It looks.
The classic one that kind of looks like it could be a Levi’s advertisement.
That or it looks like like it could be also like a Akira Kurosawa doing which in American Western like because of the way like it’s kind of looks and stuff.
6:30
I I do like that.
I but I agree, like even like the red badge that it has the 310 of Yuma reminds you of Levi’s.
And like, it wouldn’t surprise me that straight beer.
Yeah, yeah, wouldn’t surprise me that Levi’s would want to get in on the let’s advertise this film because of all the Jean jackets and jeans and Canadian tuxedos that are going on in this film.
6:51
Oh my God, it’s the late. 50’s rock and roll.
That’s right.
It did it, definitely.
Everyone’s got to have denim.
It seems like a a Levi’s moment that they should have just slapped an advertisement in here every now and then.
But yeah, I mean, I do like the poster that that is the traditional poster.
7:08
There’s like more revised posters for this film, which is actually appears on the like, little, you know, card that we have where it almost looks like a buddy comedy.
The other one with that, I think it’s very horrible.
It’s where both Glenn Ford and Van Heflin are are just on the cover and he’s kind of holding a shotgun to Glenn Ford, you know, and that that is a scene from the film.
7:30
But the way that it’s like just stuck on the poster artwork, it almost looks like a buddy comedy where they’re both like, oh, these shocks, man, you know, like you got me, you know, And that that’s that’s completely opposed to like the the stylistic nature of this movie, which I think again, the like the classic poster that you were talking about.
7:51
It really does get to the sort of more serious nature of 310 to Yuma, which because I, I would say that this is, you know, not like a John Wayne film that, you know, that we covered before where it’s it’s certainly not as comedic and it has a very serious tone to it that, you know, pretty much goes throughout the film.
8:09
So I I did.
I do love that that other cover though, that looks like another fucking Bonanza Light sort of thing.
They’re just buddies.
Yeah, that’s right.
They’re just like or they’re it’s almost like, you know, they got they got themselves into like, you know, one guy was robbing a bank, one guy was just happening to take his money out and then they got together and now they’re, you know, they’re unlikely duo, you know, the The Odd Couple 310 to Yuma.
8:38
But yeah, I, I, I like that that.
Well, that’s looks like the like the like Italian one, the that yellow and blue 1.
So yeah, I mean, maybe that’s why like, hey, they just the bud.
That’s it.
That’s even a different one.
Yeah.
The the Italian esque looking very classic.
8:55
Yeah, I that, that one is a cool one too.
That’s like a different different aesthetic even yet, but yeah.
All right, well, let’s take a break real quick before we get into the the full episode.
Let’s talk about the beer that we have on the show today.
9:10
I’ll let you take it away.
You were the one that was picking it out.
You give us the The Who, what, where, when and why about the beer that.
We’ve got.
So today is another hot scorching day, nice miserable day upstate New York.
9:26
So I was looking for something a little more refreshing this time, and I saw at our local beer shop a brewery and a beer that we never had before.
And it’s based on Colorado, Boulder, Co and it’s Breckenridge Brewery, and it’s their summer surveys of salt and lime Lager.
9:54
So they had me because as you know, from the podcast and beers that we have done, we’re big fans of the surveys as with lime and salt.
Delightful, refreshing.
Yeah.
The pack that I got when I got it, you know, it’s well back to the gun.
10:13
Well, because it was just like, you know, one of those like, week and you’re lifting it up and then like, you can tell the fucking like, paper on it is soft.
Like it’s been sitting around and it said the beer was best enjoyed by because I was looking all over for it and it was like hit like tucked away like a fucking Indiana Jones trinket.
10:33
But it said August 13th, 2026.
And I was like, OK, so that’s not too bad.
Because sometimes what one of our local beer stores does, I’m sure they’re not the only one.
They go out.
They go out like like, you know, T JS and shit.
And they buy like, you know, beer that’s not selling there, shove it on their shelf.
10:52
And like, that’s how you end up with the crap that you buy.
Like, oh, that seems interesting when you get home and you check and it’s like, that hasn’t been out for like 5 years.
Yeah.
I’ve been swindled.
Yeah.
That is definitely a concern sometimes.
Yeah, So that’s why, because like I said, we’ve never seen Breckenridge.
11:10
I don’t know.
I had a couple.
I have had a couple of Breckenridge type beers, yeah.
I’ll have to do like, a beer Finder to see if they actually like, you know, what their distribution looks like around here.
But so, yeah, that mean like on that I was like, OK, good.
11:25
Well, it’s good enough to give it a shot.
And I am happy to say it’s a wonderful, refreshing Somerset Visa.
It’s got all the right little hints.
It’s got that Vieta lager bolt, you know, that’s a nice little brightiness and toastiness to it.
11:45
Nice lime kick to it.
It’s not artificial and the salt, you know, wraps up and pairs it well and gives it like, you know, a nice, you know, electrolyte feeling to it like you’re getting, you know, your blood replenish.
12:04
So.
Yeah, nice little refresher.
Yeah, I agree.
I I mean, I don’t know if I would go ahead and say, you know, go, go hydrate yourself with this thing, but.
I will.
Why not?
Because that’s literally the opposite.
12:21
Doing the opposite.
It’s water.
It is.
Yeah, but like I said, I’ve had a couple Breckenridge just before.
I don’t know why and when and which kinds off the top of my head, but definitely have seen it a couple times.
12:37
Not super common around here though.
Mostly the the thing that stand out to me is like they’re their little logo, which has like the bee and the bee backwards.
I’ve seen that before, but this one I’ve never had haven’t seen it.
But like you said, we are big fans of the summer cervesis style.
12:55
We always try to find those types of, you know, nice light limey beers, especially around the summertime.
So it’s perfect time for for that.
And I think they’ve done a really good job with the summer cervesis.
It’s nice, like you said, it’s got like nice little crispness to it.
That salt kind of gives it a nice little, I don’t know, umami to it.
13:14
Nice little salty brine.
The lime does come out stands out the the beer itself is very has a solid backbone to it.
Overall, really nice refreshing beer.
You can drink a a number of, I would say this one, it has another thing that goes in its favor and that it’s coming in a 12 pack instead of, you know, a four pack of something that you’re like going to run out of very quickly.
13:39
So I I do appreciate that as well.
So it has a lot going for it.
Yeah, overall really solid style.
Again, it’s not, it’s not like something that you’ve never had before, but for the, the type and style, I think they’ve done a good job with that salt and lime flavour and it brings out the best in that cerveza.
13:57
No lime needed.
No, don’t need to add 1.
No, it’s already got the flavour towards the forefront.
So yeah, I think they did a really good job of that.
I was actually looking on the can and I don’t know if I’m just blind or what, but I cannot actually find the alcohol percentage on it. 5%, it’s 5%.
14:14
It’s 5%.
OK.
Yeah, I couldn’t.
That was on the box.
Oh, it’s on the box.
Yeah.
I don’t like, I don’t, I really don’t think it’s on the can anywhere.
Apparently in Colorado they don’t need to specify on the individual can packaging.
So yeah, it’s kind of absent on there.
14:30
But yeah, five 5% is really not too bad for.
A oh wait, no, it’s on the can too.
Oh is it?
Where is it I’m missing?
It’s on right on the top ribbon over.
The Oh, OK, I see.
It’s like kind of it’s kind of written by the the silvery text on it.
OK.
Yep, 5% my I don’t know if your can is, but my cane is glistening.
14:48
From the.
You know the heat.
So yeah, that’s tucked right away.
Right.
Yeah, it’s very difficult to find, to be honest with you.
I am sitting in a fairly dark area as well, so it was not readily available.
But yeah, I like it.
15:04
I would definitely get it again.
I think it’s a solid summer beer, you know, bring it to parties if you if you go to those types of things.
I don’t so.
Well, who does?
We’re 40.
That’s right.
Those those those days are over.
A little too old for that now.
You didn’t.
15:19
Oh, you didn’t.
You didn’t party when you were younger.
Oh, too bad.
That’s right.
All right, Well, let’s talk about 310 to Yuma.
So 10 to Yuma.
That’s right.
Yeah.
So the idea behind 310 to Yuma is that that’s a train.
15:35
If you if you weren’t aware of what that is referring to, 310 to Yuma is the time 310.
The opening song.
Yeah, right.
If if you didn’t know from the title the the the opening theme is definitely going to give it away.
15:51
It’s basically like smoking the bandit.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
It’s again, it’s, it’s, it’s another one of those things that were like written for the film.
They were like, listen, listen, the people watching this movie, they want a little bit of information about what they’re about to what, what they should expect.
16:08
So please craft a song and the lyrics basically just tell what’s going to happen in in the movie.
‘Cause they might get, you know, they might get bored, you know, busy, you know, and leave, go down to the malt shop.
So.
I feel like that happened less in the 50s than it does now, where like Netflix is having their CEO say like, please write films where they literally say the themes out loud so that people scrolling their phones or, you know, when they look up every now and then, they’ll be like, oh, OK, I know what’s happening.
16:38
Yeah, thanks for the.
Thanks for the info.
So in the 50s, I feel like that was a little bit less common to, for somebody to be distracted by something else.
But maybe, you know, maybe they’re.
Just no.
No, I agree because they’re doing double features and you know, stuff too.
Like, you know, true.
16:53
Yeah, yeah.
You know.
That’s what you had to do during the afternoon.
You have fucking epics coming out like Ben Hur like got 7 hours to burn today like.
That’s right, yeah.
Going down.
What are you doing?
Oh, going down to the, going down to the to the theater.
17:11
Yeah, and and I think they knew that they knew everybody had nothing else to do.
So they, you know, but again, I think the I think the idea behind it like that, that that soundtrack element, that’s not that’s not uncommon.
You know, that was a very, very much used even up until the 80s of just like having a theme song.
17:31
I think we when we did.
Hi, Mom.
That kind of parodied that a little bit where it was, you know, it’s almost like, like a goofball version of the soundtrack that would tell you exactly what’s going to happen in the movie.
But, yeah, in here, you know, you’ve got this.
We’re in a Western setting.
17:48
Where in the does it does it say exactly where we are?
Can’t somewhere in Arizona.
Yeah, some, somewhere very, very dry and arid where it has not rained in quite some time.
18:04
And the idea behind that is that everybody is really struggling in this area, you know, especially considering a lot of places are trying to farm.
And it’s it’s sort of the similar idea of like in Mcclintock where they were like, you’re going to come and farm out here.
Like that’s a bad idea, man.
18:21
And it this.
Is it’s not bad for me ’cause I.
Own the fucking town I.
Own everything.
Bad for you?
Yeah, and this is kind of the same idea here is that, you know, we’ve got a farmer, cattle rancher type guy named Dan, played by Van Heflin.
18:41
Is he dirty?
Is he dirty, Dan?
And he’s Dan Evans, which is a, is a again, a very, you know, an expected type of name for someone like that.
Dan Evans over there is running a cattle farm and.
He looks pissed.
18:57
Yes.
And he does, Yeah.
He’s a he’s a very severe brow and everything because of his hairline is so high up on his head.
He’s just very severe.
And you know what?
He looks like an old, older version of the kid from The Sandlot.
Like his great grandfather was a cattle rancher.
19:14
Like, you know, you know, the, the big, you know, big curly kid.
Yes, yeah, I I know what you’re saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can see it.
Yeah.
It he’s owning a cattle farm and it’s not doing well.
And his wife is not hesitant to point that out.
Dan.
19:30
Dan, what are we going to do?
Dan?
It hasn’t rained, Dan.
How come this other guy’s not having his struggles with the cattle farm like you are, Dan?
And.
He set up shop near a Creek.
Yeah, yeah.
He had the smart sense to actually have a a Creek near him that that doesn’t run dry.
19:46
So, you know, he must have had smarts going on or something.
Dan just didn’t have that going for him.
So but anyway, that’s kind of the whole crux of the the position here is that everybody’s struggling.
And then you got Ben Wade’s gang.
Ben played by Glenn Ford here.
20:03
And they are at the outset of this film are basically just roaming around the area terrorizing people, terrorizing stagecoaches hold them up.
And at the beginning there’s a this pretty awesome scene where in kind of a surprisingly violent where they hold up the Stagecoach and the driver actually takes one of Ben Wade’s guys hostage and he’s like, I’m going to shoot this guy.
20:29
And Ben Wade’s like, no, you’re not because I am.
And he just fucking shoots the hostage and then shoots the the driver of the Stagecoach and he’s like washes his hands of it like we’re done.
Well, when you have 14 guys fucking following you, that’s true.
And you’re robbing a stage, you know, full of gold.
20:47
Like guys like you might as well be like, yeah, like the Joker.
Yeah, there’s one less you.
Know yeah, but it’s like a it’s like a pretty surprising moment right at the beginning of the film which I.
I actually quite liked that you, you know, you kind of see this like very bloodthirsty man who is, you know, again, like the film is kind of going to paint this picture later on of, you know, like, well, maybe he’s got a soft side.
21:13
You know, Ben, he likes the women.
So he’s got a little bit of a softy nature to him.
But like at the the outset, I thought it was a really cool moment.
And it kind of speaks to some of the other things that Elmore and Leonard would go on to do.
21:30
Like, like I said, like justified.
And again, he wasn’t like a showrunner on that or anything.
It’s just based on his his stories.
But it definitely reminded me of it.
And I thought it was a really cool way to open the film.
And that’s where you kind of get this idea that you have this foil character, Ben, who’s like, we’ll literally do anything, right?
21:50
And then you have Dan who’s on the outside and sees all this happening right at the beginning.
And they even steal his horses.
And he’s just kind of like, well, Shooks male darn, you know?
And his sons are standing there like PA.
PA, You’re not going to let him do that, are you, PA?
22:06
Why would you let him do?
That that’s one thing about like this era of films, I can’t fucking.
Stand that the.
The leave it to Beaver like call it G willikers.
22:22
Paul, what’s going do Paul, Paul gonna come get you.
We we we we we had to go home, didn’t we?
We had to yes Sir, because dad said Paul said that if we didn’t do that, like shut the I got the kids like with a rubber hose and like I just.
22:39
The kids really bothered you.
Yes, it’s annoying, like you can see it in his eyes like he wants to be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That’s that is a funny.
Thing because in the in the movie later on then Ben Wade will will say to Dan he’d be like, wow, must be really nice to come home to your two boys and be able to take them out on the ranch and stuff like that.
23:00
And Dan doesn’t really say anything because like just like you’re saying, he’s probably thinking down deep in his soul.
He’s like, no, it’s not.
It’s not going to come down to these fucking kids.
And they just.
Listen to the little one constantly like Paw Paw, Pennsylvania is.
Is that a rattlesnake over there?
23:17
Pennsylvania.
Oh Gee, Pennsylvania, what do you think?
One down Bell, PA, Pennsylvania sounds like a fucking court gun.
What do you think about that opening scene, though?
Like, I mean, I definitely agree with Dan.
There’s really not that much that one dude with two boys is going to do in this situation.
23:36
Like, you know, what was he?
What was he supposed to do?
He’s out in the open.
It’s not like he can pull a Patriot, you know?
He’s not a Mel Gibson character jumping from tree to tree like we talked about.
Yeah.
No, his wife.
His wife and kids want him dead because they’re like how?
23:51
And you stood there and didn’t do anything?
Yeah, what the fuck?
Like he didn’t have a gun on him, you know, like.
I do think that’s pretty.
Funny, the the only thing you can argue against them was he they should he saw them like robbing the stage.
24:06
He should, just before they even took notice, turned around and bend my eye.
Right, right.
Yeah.
The the smart thing, the courageous thing to do would have been to just take your horses and turn tail and be like, well, look, I’ve got my two kids with me here.
I’m out of here.
24:22
Well, the cows, I mean, because the cattle are on the other side.
That’s why they’re looking like, I mean, which, you know, back in the day, all that would have been a lot of lot of money that he’s like losing.
But I don’t you can tell by Ben’s gang, it’s not like they’re robbing gold.
They’re also by they’re like, by the way, we’re going to take these cows too.
24:40
And I mean to beat me just so you know, I would have been like, you know what, the cows will be there.
We’ll go back.
You know, right?
Yeah, we’ll get them.
We’ll.
We’ll like look off to the side.
I wait for them to ride off and then we’ll ride down and be like, hey, you guys OK, I saw someone get shot.
24:56
Sorry, you know?
Totally.
You know, yeah, totally agree.
I think I but I, I mean, I, I totally understand.
And that this, this idea of the man who didn’t jump in and, you know, risk his life for a bunch of strangers rolling in on a Stagecoach is going to be the sort of inciting moment in Dan’s life.
25:18
And his, you know, the reason why he begins to set out to, to, to be the person who brings down Ben Wade and his gang.
It’s, it’s part of this film’s what I would call toxic masculinity.
Really.
It’s, it’s the idea that like, you got to be the hero.
25:36
And if you’re not, then what really are you living your life for?
Which I think to some extent the film does try to do like it.
It kind of does both things, right?
Like it does have a moment where the wife is really like, wow, you didn’t do anything like you really should have, you know, And then and then basically says, like, you know, our life is really hard and you’re not really doing anything to help it.
26:02
And at the same time, later on it tries to kind of circumvent that and say like, well, listen, the the wife comes back and says, maybe I didn’t mean what I said.
Like we, I like our hard life, you know, and it’s not really like she it it she’s almost apologizing, but it’s like kind of like a hollow one because she’s saying, like, I love doing all this very hard work with you, you know, because we have a nice family and not even though it’s hard and other people don’t have to do it.
26:26
And I’m looking at my neighbor and they don’t have to do it, but we do.
I still love our life, you know, and it’s sort of a hollow sort of, you know, apology.
But I do think that this film has a sort of toxic masculinity to it that runs through and it’s sort of, it’s probably part of the time period of the.
26:44
That’s why when I go to the office, honey, I stay with Shaw.
Yes, I mean, I think it’s partly the 50s.
I think it’s partly the the actual time period of the American Western is it is sort of like imagining this this heroicism of the Western era.
27:03
And then also I think it is partly just the idea that it’s men’s work to be the hero and to and and to you as the protagonist of this film.
You don’t really want a milquetoast guy who’s kind of like, you know, but it’s too bad that they robbed this town.
27:22
But like, I’ve got things going on, OK, I’ve got I’ve got cow to herd and stuff.
So, you know, what do you what do you think about that though?
Like how do you do you think that is the film is kind of toxic toxically masculine Here is is this.
27:42
Oh yeah, yeah, it definitely is.
Because by the end, especially when she’s like pleading with him, like, you know, I’ll give you a hand job.
Just don’t go out there and get yourself killed.
We don’t have life insurance.
He’s like, I got him.
27:58
I have to do it.
Yeah.
Because like it’s, you know, it’s wrapped up in like, you know, moral, like him being moral and like one, one of the two people that are the more, you know, morality of the film because it’s him the drunk, you know.
28:19
Right, right.
And everyone else is, you know.
That.
Yeah, that.
Is until like they’re like, oh, looks like this might be a little.
Yeah.
Go.
That that is the other thing too, is that it does offer this sort of morality of, of almost like a black and white good versus evil, right?
28:38
Like there are people roaming around like Ben Wade’s gang who are just taking whatever they feel like and, you know, in this time period.
And then you have people that will maybe stand up for that.
And the kind of the the soapbox that he gets on is that like, I’ve got to be one of those upholders of benevolence and that like, we need people to live in peace around here.
29:04
You know, I’m not going to allow some gang to come through the town and, you know, just do whatever they want to because they feel like they can so.
Apparently he’s a Ben.
Wade is such a badass.
He’s already broken out of you.
29:20
You know, before.
Yes, yeah.
Like, what’s the bounty like?
You don’t see anybody beat like, like at like, you know, a bounty like when like they tell the Marshall, the Marshall’s like what it had been weighed like.
Oh, maybe I should do saw.
29:35
That right, I do.
I do find that interesting like because when they when these guys come into town, they they like to call them an outfit in this movie they like that’s that’s the word that they use for the for gang is outfit, apparently.
You know well if you if it’s above 6.
Yes.
29:52
If it’s above 6, it’s a posse.
OK, it’s above 8.
You got an outfit.
It’s a gang.
Got 12 men like an up and like a Baker’s dozen like they do in this film.
It’s an outfit.
You have to think though, you have to wonder, is Ben that good of a gang leader if he needs an entire 12 Man Group to be robbing places?
30:19
Like what kind of what kind of take are they individually getting from this?
Because you know what I mean?
Like they’re.
Getting they’re getting a can of Bush beans.
Right.
And sharing 1 bottle of whiskey around because like, there’s also a really funny scene at the beginning where they kind of roll into town and they’re in the saloon and the, the one woman who’s all flustered because of Ben Wade in there, Felicia Farr’s character, Emmy, She, you know, she just goes up and down the line of like shot filling shot glass over and over again, which, you know, again, is pretty funny.
30:52
I, I do love the, the whole idea of what in these films that like no one had like a larger cup.
It was like always, like I will have four shot glasses please, you know, and then and then you know over and over again.
They just down them 1 by 1.
Which is I’m just like, I think of like, it’s like, it’s Arizona.
31:11
It’s like 90° out.
Yeah.
And these assholes are Downing a shot of like, like you.
Know what a quench me a shot of whiskey rat whiskey, please.
Yeah.
And not only that too, but like we talked about the the whole like denim get UPS that they’re wearing, like Ben Wade specifically is wearing like this really tight lead or a Jean jacket riding through this very dry, super hot climate, like chafing all over.
31:44
It looks like a corduroy undershirt that he’s wearing too.
I don’t know if it is, but it looks.
That’s also why they’re called They’re an outfit.
They’re all fucking dressed like they’re going to Broadway, like we’re in a show.
Right.
Almost like.
32:00
Yeah, like, like.
You know, fucking Oklahoma because they’re like got like all their hats.
Like I was telling you when I on the phone, like, like they got such little queer little hats.
Like, they just all wear these little tiny hats and they’re off to the side, you know?
32:16
And everybody has like a, a slightly different one too.
Like they, they, you know, it’s, it’s like, if you show up and you’re like, hey, Ben, what do you think my new hat is like?
Whoa, now I have that.
Looks like my I.
Have the same style of 10 gallon hat.
You’re going to need to go back and get that redone because you know you can’t have the same curl on your who’s.
32:40
The fucking leader of this outfit.
Yeah, it’s.
You are, That’s right.
And that means you don’t wear my hat.
It does remind of like Western West Side Story when they roll into the saloon, you know what I mean?
Like they’re going to start, you know, snapping as they walk in.
32:56
You know, it does, It does.
It is funny, but.
You know, you know what’s funny too?
I just saw it like the other day.
I totally forgot about the skit.
The SNL skit with fucking Norm MacDonald and like, Chris Catan.
And then we’re like, Jets, we’re going to do it tonight.
33:13
We’re going to.
He’s like, what the hell are you singing?
It’s true.
Like, this came off the coffin.
Yeah, but like, both of you are, like, singing at the same time.
That’s really weird.
Yeah, I mean, and I say that like kind of lovingly, because I do think that the the outfit in this film is somewhat menacing.
33:36
Like they do the the film does a pretty good job of cementing like a a suspense to it.
You know, especially when they’re all sitting there in the saloon and the Marshall comes out and there’s like this obvious tension of like, well, these guys don’t look like they’re really up to any good, but the Marshall is sort of like, I don’t know, they told me that the gang was went that away.
33:59
So, you know, I guess I’ll that’s.
The other.
That’s the other great thing, too.
Wake the Marshall and tell him what happened.
Well, he’s taking a nap.
Yeah.
Why don’t you wake him and tell him?
Tell him, tell him.
34:15
Tell him that they’re like a man’s been killed.
Oh, it’s a murder.
Not to, Steph.
Now I have to wake him.
Up, yeah, right.
If it’s not, he said, just let him sleep in his room.
If it’s yeah and why is the Marshall’s office?
Attached to the fucking saloon, like is a hilly because the Marshall needs, you know, like he needs direct access.
34:37
You know, the only thing more direct would be like, if he had a barrel in his room and, you know, just whiskey barrel, just dip right in.
But no, I, I, I, yeah, the whole Marshall thing I do think is a little bit silly with them rolling in and be like a man was killed out there.
34:53
I don’t know.
We tried to, you know, here we are, strangers, 12 strangers rolling into town.
Never seen these guys before in our lives.
Ben Wade’s gang is apparently well known enough where, you know, Dan Evans character seems to know who they are immediately.
35:11
And the Marshalls, like, that’s weird.
You know, like these guys show up, Stagecoach robbed and the murders happened.
I don’t know, weird turn of events there.
It’s like a dot nod spit like yeah, when they’re like, no, that was the fucking Ben Wade, you asshole like.
35:31
That is true that that kind of that kind of turns out like sort of like a goofy comedic thing where they’re like, oh, we just left town and they were there.
Yeah.
And they scattered.
I don’t know.
Going there, if they’re going to great, Paul, the women and children, you know.
35:52
I will say that I do, I do think that Glenn Ford does a pretty good job as Ben Wade.
I think he, you know, he sells this very sinister, but also kind of like charming and kind of aloof sort of performance where he’s he’s almost mischievous, right?
36:11
Like he’s he’s kind of got this sort of like I just want to see what’s going to happen type of persona about him, which I think he does pretty well.
Anarchistic.
And it’s done really well too, because it’s not done in a in the time period where you could just be like, I’m going to motherfuck, kill like motherfuckers.
36:28
Like, yeah, yes.
You know he.
Doesn’t have the leather jacket and switchblade to you know that the 80s had of you.
Know, you know, to, to, to be menacing, like he’s menacing by the way.
He’s like, yeah, yeah.
My life.
She, she, I used to know, girl.
I’m saying Francisco.
36:44
She had nice green eyes.
I love that woman.
Love that woman.
Yeah, you know.
I think he does a great job.
Like he’s he’s got that sinisterness to him.
He and again throughout most of the movie, we really don’t get to see him do that much.
36:59
Like I said, he at the beginning of the film he does shoot that guy, you know, he shoots his own guy.
But after that we really don’t get him get to see him do all that much besides kind of be captive.
And he does a couple of like try to quick fakes to to get out of his captivity.
37:15
But for the most part, everything that he’s giving off it, it’s is, is more like just a personality wise.
I think that the film tries to go in some weird directions, like the beginning where he’s seducing the saloon, the bar keeper.
37:32
I, I feel like it’s super unnecessary.
She disappears and nowhere to be seen after that.
But it’s sort of like a, an aside to the fact that like, oh, he’s, you know, he’s, he’s also a romantic at heart and he may, maybe he does want to just settle down and, you know, have a wife and, and not really be an outlaw anymore.
37:50
I, I feel like it’s kind of wasted.
And that is one of my complaints about the film in general is that overall, and this may be sort of like just a overall like moralistic frame of mind, but I find that 310 to Yuma ends on a sort of unnecessarily uplifting moment that sees the best in people and a sort of naive way.
38:18
And though I like, I probably I understand why they do that because you want the hero to win, especially in the 50s, You know, that’s sort of the idea behind these types of movies.
I feel like it’s super naive to the the way that this movie ends.
And I we talked about this off air, but the overall idea that happens at the end is very dissatisfying during you.
38:41
Have all that tension and build up.
You know what it reminds me of?
It reminds you of Dawn of the Dead’s ending, this original Romero one, right?
You know, with, like, how bleak the film is.
And, you know, Ben’s sitting there with the gun in his head.
Is he going to kill himself?
38:57
And then, well, let’s put the A-Team music on.
And everybody’s saved.
You know, and everything, you know, it’s the same thing here too because like again, it’s a 12 man outfit.
39:19
You mean to tell me not one of these fucks could, you know, get a shot in to take Ben out?
I mean to take Dan out.
It is pretty funny.
Like the like it’s like so unserious and stupid.
Same thing too.
Oh yeah, we’re we’re the baddest gang in all.
39:38
Oh, my God, He’s got a horse.
I know it’s taboo to kill horses.
Yeah, right.
This gang of villains, Yeah, that’s where the moral compass is.
They’re like.
I I definitely agree with that.
I think like the the film’s conclusion, like I will say the the waiting for the 310 to Yuma, I think it’s really good.
40:01
It’s got a nice tension to it.
The build up is great, suspenseful.
There’s sort of this paranoia of like you’re not not really sure what’s going to happen.
That works really well for the film and and the you know, seeing as that’s the crux of the movie is waiting for that 310 to Yuma.
40:16
I think that for the most part is is really done quite well.
The problem is that ending where you have a lot of this very stupid turn of events that occur.
Like there’s a, you know, one of Ben’s outfit is over on the roof, got a clear shot into the window and misses completely.
40:38
Like Dan’s not even aware that the guy’s there and he takes a shot and misses.
And or you have the other thing where like Dan’s got his back turned to a guy on the opposite side of the road and he takes a shot and misses at the at a certain point you have to sit down and be like, listen, Ben, you guys need target press practice desperately like.
40:58
You can’t you.
Cannot be an outfit if you’re this bad of shot, you know, like that’s just like rule #1 of having an outfit is like you do target practice every nine, 9:00 on every, you know, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday is is target practice.
41:14
For you can’t be in the outfit if you can’t you.
Know that’s right yeah and I I think that’s like one of the silly things about this movie is like.
You would think they were using like 15th century, like Chinese, like, you know, muskets like.
41:32
Why did you make it like, I don’t know, it just the the gun didn’t even I don’t know, just recoiled too much.
But yeah, I.
Think the same thing too though.
Like the few shots that Dan takes, he’s fucking like, you know, Shooter Mcgavin.
Right, Yeah, yeah, on the opposite spectrum, our hero can’t miss.
41:52
Our hero is hitting everybody no matter what.
And, and I do think that’s a little bit silly.
Like, again, it’s it’s sort of like the idea behind these these action movies where the hero has to win.
But I think it plays off a little bit goofballish towards the end and kind of takes away from the seriousness of the movie.
42:11
Same thing too.
Same thing.
Sorry, sorry.
Like this is the same thing too with the whole like as you’re talking about with like the morals, like because he’s the moral man.
Ben’s trying to buy him out.
Like at first he’s like 2000 dollars, $5000.
He’ll give you $10,000, you know, and we already know from the drought and stuff and hearing, you know, dance troubles like he needs, you know, he originally went into the town to get $200 as alone to try to survive because of, you know, his cows are going to die and they’re going to lose everything and has it rained in two fucking years.
42:45
And you see him like constantly like being juxtaposed with that and you know, the morality of it.
And at the end, like, it’s just like feisty now, just like this one big kind of like, just don’t worry guys.
43:03
If you hold on long enough, there’ll come a payday you know, and do the right thing like.
Yeah, I, I do think that is funny too, that the idea that that, you know, he’s got to go into town and get a loan and that they’re offering this, this money to him to join the outfit.
43:25
If you feel like at the end of the day, you wouldn’t really trust a guy like that for one thing.
Like I, I don’t know that they would even really run through your mind.
But, you know, there is a sort of morality play here that it’s like, do I take money?
Do I, you know, am I just here for the good of the ’cause I think at the end of the day, like the one thing that really sways you a little bit is that like when the the mayor guy comes in and he’s like, listen, you’ve done your duty, man.
43:50
Like we’ll even give you the $200.
Like just get the fuck out of here, right?
Like you’ve done you’ve done enough here, which I think is, you know, one of probably one of the coolest things about this movie is that like, and brought me the most unrealistic too, is that you’ve got this this mayor character who’s like no, listen, listen, he’s.
44:08
The guy he, Mr. Butterfield, he’s the guy that owes the coach, that guy.
That’s right, yeah.
The coach, the coach, yeah.
He’s like, listen, we’ll just pay you anyway.
Like you’ve, you’ve done enough here.
Like that’s that’s super unrealistic.
I feel like no one would do that but.
Mr. I’m a white man, That’s me.
44:24
I If I’m told I need I’m getting paid to do the work.
I’m doing it, Yeah, I.
Have to do the work or my wife won’t let me poke at her boobies, so I have to.
44:39
No, you don’t like we’ll just give you.
No, you don’t understand.
Well, well, don’t you love the fact that the wife actually comes in with a coach?
She’s been like chasing them down to this contention where they’re waiting for the kids on humor.
Who’s watching the kids at home?
44:56
It’s OK and that.
And that also reminds you of the the whole morality of this that sort of seems unrealistic as well.
And that the, the kids and the one of the like the the the bank owners that he was going to get the loan from was like talking about Dan’s life and tell told the whole story, like the whole life story of his life.
45:24
They’re like, Oh, yeah, he, you know, he grew up in Utah and he’s got two kids and a wife back home.
And, you know, like, if anybody really wanted to do some damage to Dan, like they should just go to his house and, you know, like, you know, molest his wife and, you know, murder his children.
45:40
Like that would really be a fuck him up and you know.
Henry, Henry Fonda sit there taking notes for Once Upon a Time in the West, Yeah.
Like it’s hilarious because like, they they literally go through that and you just expect Dan to be like, would you shut the fuck up?
Like stop telling him my life story over here.
45:57
Why?
Well, this criminal sitting in in custody.
Now, by the way, you wouldn’t know it, but he also has a mistress.
She lives down there if you really want to get get to.
It’s true.
Yeah, but it’s.
Yeah, No.
46:13
Like at the the whole dinner scene where the kids are like my pocket kill you at any time, my poop.
And like, it’s like just like shut.
Like he’s looking at him and it’s like again, like it’s the 50s.
You can hit hit the strike the child like you.
Know, let’s be honest.
46:29
So that’s not the part of the dinner that bothered you.
The part of the dinner that bothered you is that they’re calling what they have Stew.
True.
They don’t have Stew.
They have, they have like a roast.
They have a beat like cut beef and potatoes.
46:46
Right, because they have to even.
They even make mention of the fact that he’s got to cut up his meat.
That’s not a Stew, at least not in my book.
It’s not a Stew.
I don’t know.
Maybe, is it?
Maybe.
Is that a Stew it back in, you know, back in the day.
I don’t.
I don’t.
Know I played Red Dead Redemption 2 that’s no Stew that piercing it with me.
47:04
Yeah, I agree with you.
I like tails.
Some sort of doesn’t even look like soup.
It doesn’t look like Dinty Moore or anything, just like I guess.
Yeah.
It’s yeah, no, it’s just like a pot roast.
Like a pot roast.
47:20
Like, you know, here’s some, you know, some shredded beef and your potatoes.
That right there, you know, I loses one whole rate, a star rating.
That’s not a Stew.
I’d still eat it, though.
47:35
I’m not going.
To find it I do.
I did find it great and funny when like he was like.
Dan offers to cut Ben’s meat.
He’s like, oh, yeah, you got to eat.
And he’s like, oh, by the way, Dan, can you cut the fat off?
Yeah, I don’t.
47:52
I don’t.
I don’t.
I can’t eat the grist.
It is great, though.
Yeah, like that.
That isn’t again, it’s a nice touch from from Ben Wade as a person.
And it’s just like this.
He’s like he’s pushing it.
He’s just pushing as far as he can go.
And I do.
I do appreciate that part of the movie of of you know, this, this character, which I do think ends up being to the to the film’s detriment in the conclusion, because the conclusion just kind of comes off as very hack night and rushed.
48:22
It’s just kind of like all of a sudden Ben’s like, you know what, I want to be a better guy.
I don’t know, I I like you.
I like you, Dan.
I want to be a better guy.
So I’m going to, you know, go to Yuma and I’ll have to break out again.
But no, no problem.
I’m doing this for you, Dan, and.
48:37
I would have appreciated it more if he jumped off.
Like at the end it was just like, yeah, I did it for you.
I didn’t want you to get.
I didn’t like what they say.
Like I didn’t want you to get cut in half.
Yeah, I didn’t want my men to kill you.
I didn’t want my outfit to kill you.
But I’m like, yeah, I’m like, yeah.
48:54
Like I would have had a little bit more respect for the film if that’s how, I don’t know.
It would have been hilarious.
I understand why this would not happen, but it would have been hilarious if he jumped off the train, met up with his with Dan’s wife in the Stagecoach and they both took off.
49:10
Because.
In the movie, she’s like, especially at the dinner scene, she’s like ogling Ben, you know, because he’s like, she’s got green eyes and she’s just kind of like, you know, a fluster and.
Well, as you said, when they return home without the horses, you’re like, well, you can see out her, look at her face, she’s dried.
49:32
She’s just completely dried up.
Yeah, how Dan acted.
When they’re like, where’s your horses?
A bully took off.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Yeah, it does remind me of the fucking.
I don’t know, you probably haven’t seen it, but the the episode of, You know, Lily, but where Louis is there in like a restaurant and he’s getting bullied by like these teenage kids and like they’re like, what are you going to do?
50:01
You going to beat me up?
You going to beat me up?
And he like doesn’t do anything.
And then there he’s on a date and the date is like, listen, I was really turned off by the fact that like you got bullied by these people.
And so and it’s kind of like this whole idea of like, OK, we’re definitely the film reminds me of that to like the NTH degree of like, you know, the.
50:20
Is Louis just Curb but with a guy?
Kind of, yeah.
I mean.
To to just masturbate in front of people.
Well, yeah, yes, of course that that, you know, I watched that before.
Before.
So I’ll, I’ll you know, he’s.
Still fine.
Yeah, but anyway, I mean, I do love that episode though, because I do also I I can somewhat relate to that.
50:39
Like, you know, I’m not a I’m not a fighter.
I can relate to the idea of like, well, when do you fight back?
You know, and that’s that’s kind of the whole idea of 310 to humor.
When do you fight back?
Like what is what is worth fighting for?
And we talked about it a little bit.
But I do think it’s it’s toxic to a certain extent.
50:56
It’s the sort of stereotypical idea of masculinity.
This film has a lot of it, you know, you know, even to the to the point of like the things that we find or traits that we have previously found masculine, like smoking or like, you know, sharing a cig.
51:14
I think all of those things.
Two men having a good cigarette Sherry.
I think you mean two men having a fag.
You know, it’s, it’s just fostering the love interest that later on.
That’s why they get on the train together and like, listen, we’re going on.
We don’t need a women.
Yeah, we don’t need women.
51:31
We’re two manly men.
We’re going off but with our ourselves.
You know, I love men so much.
I love you, man.
But yeah, come.
Here give big kiss.
That’s right, That’s right.
What else?
What else do we talk about?
51:47
The soundtrack is pretty prevalent throughout this movie.
What do you think about the soundtrack?
Yeah, it’s like a little, like I said, like a little two 50s.
Yeah, like, you know, like.
Like on the inappropriate like operatic, it’s not bad.
52:11
Like again, like the theme is not bad either.
We were even though we’re taking the piss out of it, you know, for being the trailer for the film, just like, you know, spelling everything out in detail.
But it is like, it’s catchy.
It’s like ghost riders in the sky, basically.
Like, yeah, yeah, it’s got that.
52:27
Yeah, it’s got like, you know, some of the hooks from that like kind of in it.
It’s not bad, but it’s not anything that ever sit down dog?
Hey guys, have you ever sat and listened to the 3:10 to you?
That’s right.
Yeah, it’s.
Not yeah.
52:44
Now on Columbia Records, it literally was though it’s it is Columbia records.
I had that that theme song and it said courtesy of Columbia Records to say no, there probably is a 310 to Yuma soundtrack.
Yeah, I mean, like the film like again, like for a 90 minute film, it it’s will pace and the action is incredibly backlogged into the final scene.
53:13
The tension like it like the parts where the film is hitting its beats and notes.
It does a great job, as you said, like with the detriments to it.
Then, you know, they’re glaring and obvious.
It’s not it’s definitely a flawed film, but a fun film.
53:30
And it makes me, you know, kind of want to watch the remake now because it seems like people have a, you know, hold that and higher esteem.
Yeah.
Apparently.
See what they see, what they, you know, see what they do with that, you know.
53:48
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, I think that it’s interesting to to see that the remake is maybe a little bit more popular now than the the, you know, the movie from the 50s.
We’ll have to see what that’s like.
You know, I’m, I am assuming it has a lot more action to it is one thing.
You know, then this movie is much more slowly paced in terms of suspense and just kind of, you know, kind of niggling, sort of like getting at the, the, the, the crux of Dan as a as a character.
54:16
Like that’s sort of the idea of of Ben Wade as a person is that he’s just sort of is able to kind of get into the the psyche of a person and, you know, kind of dig in, which I think is is really interesting for the movie.
But again, it really, you know, the action takes a back seat until the end, which I will say, though, I think that the the cinematography is pretty impressive.
54:39
The, the, the gunfight sequence where they shoot the guy off the roof where I was like, man, that guy died.
That stunt double died, man, he just.
He laid there.
They didn’t have the squibs or anything back then.
All right, you’re going to fall from that roof onto that roof.
54:56
Yeah, I mean, there was a pretty impressive fall.
Like he literally just falls off 1 roof onto another roof, takes a hard fall onto that roof, then falls off onto the ground.
I was very impressed by that stunt double.
I I probably should look and make sure that they didn’t die during the filming, you know?
55:14
The one like the one shot of the guy, the coach, and I think you’ll have to correct me if I’m wrong, it looked like they showed like a bullet hole for him when he got shot.
55:29
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, in the head like, but it’s like a split second I, I don’t know if I actually saw that or if I had a fever treatment.
It just kind of came to me, but it.
Is quick when they show like the the shot, yeah, yeah, I, I, I think the cinematography is actually really quite good, even like sort of the crane shots when they that they get of like the, you know, rising up over the riders and it’s all really nice.
55:56
One thing that I thought was really great too is the the horse riding when the especially during the conclusion where some of Ben Wade’s men are coming in and they like are fucking galloping with their horse and then jump off like mid gallop.
It’s really nice too.
56:11
Yeah, you know.
That’s something that I love to do in Red Dead 2 that when I was playing Red Dead 1, like you can’t really do and piss me off riding like it.
Like it’ll like come to like a slow and then like you’ll kind of just magically proof off and it’s like God.
56:28
Yeah, I mean, I thought that that’s pretty impressive writing, to be honest with you.
I thought that was, you know, that’s good for for some of the extras that they got in the film.
So I I thought that was nice too.
What else?
Anything else that we didn’t didn’t discuss here?
Ben Wade likes fat chicks.
56:47
It’s true.
Yeah, that’s true.
I don’t know what the point of that whole story was when he’s telling it, but he’s like, yeah, you know, the fat girl.
Yeah.
Singing songs.
Yeah.
I spent $300 on her.
You used to sing there too, right?
57:03
Well, that wasn’t you, though.
Such a.
Weird, like doesn’t need a point.
Like, hey, I don’t know about you, but when before a man comes up and hits on me, when he’s goes up and goes, you know, I spent $300 on someone more beautiful than you before coming up to you once you’re at my company, like, it’s not going to make me feel pretty.
57:34
Yeah, that’s awesome.
All right, well, we got to give 310 to Yuma rating.
So on a scale of.
Which, by the way.
Oh yeah, go ahead.
Train is arriving at 3:10.
57:52
Yeah, somebody’s got to work that out.
That’s stupid.
Why not three?
Why not 315?
Like, yeah, why did they?
Yeah, yeah, The same idea is like when Ben offers him $7000 and then he’s like, you know what, 10,000 would be easier for me.
58:11
I count by 10s like that.
It is that is true.
Why would you offer 7000?
Like what, what what possessed you to pick that number of of all numbers to you $7000?
I agree.
Why?
Why 310?
Get it on the hour or not, you know, you know get.
58:29
Get that?
I know, I know.
Time districts were invented because of trains, but still, come on.
Yeah, come on.
Get it or rolling.
But no, it’s it is a great film name though. 310 TUM.
Yeah, it’s just got got a nice little, got a nice little ring to it.
It’s the same as the Taking of Pelham 123.
58:46
Yeah.
Like the same, same idea of like, yeah, I get you curious.
Like, I wonder what that’s about.
I like it.
The taking of the taking of Pelham, 123.
No, you’re supposed to say 123.
That’s right.
59:03
So on a scale of zero to 10 of random men sitting in your hotel room, sleeping it off on a couch that you’re not even remotely concerned about, what would you give 310 to you?
59:18
Oh, that’s one thing.
We did forget to mention the fucking then hold that.
Where the fuck?
The guy’s like, you know what, we have money run off too.
Yeah, yeah.
Why did they ever treat her that bad?
59:34
Yeah.
Why do women do that?
Why did they run off on us?
I don’t know.
My wife ran off on me too.
I didn’t hit her that hard.
Like it’s just like, it’s just like, I don’t know, like, like thinking about it like it like in the 50s.
Like is it like I don’t under like?
59:52
Was that joke was like, you know, you know, like, was it imagine?
Like going to like the film with your wife or no, I’m going to hit beat the shit out of you lately.
Yeah, yeah, no, that was funny.
1:00:09
I don’t hear that hard.
Yeah, 7 odd 10 good movie, enjoyable quick bris.
It’s not an action-packed.
It’s back loaded on that end.
But the psychological story that’s told by, you know, what Dan sees, what he needs and what he does, you know, to try to help himself and his family by taking out Benton.
1:00:45
And the story that’s told throughout that middle 2/3 is really engaging and good.
And Glenn Ford, as you were saying, does a perfect job.
He’s a great anarchistic, you know, presence, you know, knows how to, you know, kind of, you know, be manipulative and sinister, but not in a way that’s, you know, you know, stupid.
1:01:17
I think Van Heflin, he does a good job.
I don’t like, I wouldn’t say he’s near as good as Glenn Ford.
At times he’s a little too weird and kind of, it just doesn’t really like hit the note like because the like when you have like, you know, there’s sometimes like he’s like fine and then like other times where like he’s like, you know, fine, he’s grounded all of a sudden like 1 wry comments made and he’s like, I don’t know everybody like, you know, I don’t know where you know.
1:01:55
But the film’s basically like a tomb.
It’s like a Tennessee Williams play almost because it’s a two man show.
It’s just those two.
Everyone else is just, you know, background.
But it’s a good film, it’s enjoyable, it’s got it, you know, the problems that we brought up.
1:02:12
But I think, you know that if you like, you know, traditional American Westmouth, check it out.
It’s definitely worth a watch and appraisal.
Yeah, I mean, what, So what, what score did you end up giving it?
7, seven.
1:02:28
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean, I think I’m going to give it.
I think I’m going to give it an 8 out of 10.
I I did enjoy it.
I did enjoy it.
I think it was a pretty enjoyable film.
Like I said, it’s a brisk movie, 90 minutes.
You know, it’s really gets in and gets out.
It does a good job of setting that tension up.
1:02:45
I think that ultimately that idea behind the two guys is a really interesting dynamic.
It just doesn’t play out that well towards the end.
And I think that’s really based on, you know, individual moralistic elements.
You know, whether you find that naive or not to believe that he would eventually turn his evil ways into, you know, good-natured element, I don’t.
1:03:07
I think that’s, that’s probably going to depend on the, the viewer as to how willing they are to believe that.
But I think that overall the movie is really a fun movie.
I think it has a nice sort of melancholy tone to it throughout.
1:03:26
And I, I just enjoyed it.
I think it’s, they did a really good job.
And, you know, for something from 57 like this, I think it it does showcase a really nice cinematic experience that you, you know, is sort of a ahead of its time in a lot of ways.
1:03:44
So I did really enjoy it.
I do think it is it it makes sense that it is a classic Western and I would recommend it, you know, for people who do like Westerns, I think that it’s it’s one of the better ones that I’ve seen that are that are older style American Western films.
1:04:01
So I’m going to give it a name.
All right, Well, that does it for our episode on 310 to Yuma.
Thanks for listening again.
We’re going to have one more one more episode next week and we haven’t announced the film yet.
1:04:17
It’s not it’s not part of our little, little diagram of of movies that we’re doing for Red Hot Action Summer.
So it’s a mystery.
Django Unchained.
It isn’t.
I can say for sure that it is not Django Unchained, although we I haven’t seen it and they probably should do it at some point, but but I.
1:04:40
Wouldn’t I wouldn’t even need to watch Jake watch it.
I could do it.
I could do that.
From I, I will say it is a contemporary American Western.
It’s not, you know, it’s not from an older time period.
1:04:57
It is contemporary.
So that’s.
So Cowboys and aliens, I got it right.
That’s.
Right.
Yeah, that’s right.
Does.
Anyone remember that?
No, I, I, I didn’t watch it.
I I just know it’s bad.
No, I mean, I’m not saying new.
I don’t seem to say anyone.
Just anyone.
Just.
What the Hell’s the Johnny Depp movie where he’s Tonto?
1:05:19
Lone Ranger, yeah, The Lone Ranger remake that they did there, yeah, Yeah, we could do that.
It’s not that either.
We already have it picked out so.
So.
It’s Zorro.
We’re going to Mexico.
That’s right.
That’s right.
But no, we’ll be back next week with that episode that’ll finish out our red hot action summer.
