#088: Once Upon a Time in the West with Tom Lorenzo

For our eighty-eighth episode, we’re joined by friend of the show and newly-minted Three Timers Club member Tom Lorenzo (“You’re Missing Out” podcast) for a discussion of the star-studded audio commentary for Sergio Leone’s magnum opus, the 1968 spaghetti western “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Among the things discussed: grungy close-ups and epic wide shots, homages in “Back to the Future”, giving Dario Argento his training wheels, Leone’s place in the cinematic canon, the plusses and minuses of Kino Lorber’s film noir box-sets, Harmonica: the real man with no name, sound as music, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “21 Jump Street” (2012), “22 Jump Street” (2014), and “The Lego Batman Movie” (2017) For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
