Cimarron (1931) vs. Dances with Wolves (1991)

from Bestest Picture · host Darren Shaw

It’s a New Year, and we’re back in the saddle again! That’s right, Episode 5 is all about WESTERNS (which, incidentally, is one of the top 7 genres of film). Join Darren and Kendall as they dive into the first - and second - westerns to win Best Picture: CIMARRON (1931) and DANCES WITH WOLVES (1991). When you put them together, these two films have it ALL - the Good, the Bad, and the Problematically Ugly. And the Shaws are going to get into every bit of it, plus some additional stuff: movie recommendations, family trip anecdotes, NEXT-LEVEL literary criticism and genre study, and encouragement for students to use more wikipedia. So get on them spurs, don your hat, and mount up!
