Over the course the episode we talk about how this film is both not very Peckinpah (with its humour, romance and gentle spirit. Hell, it even has musical number) and is very Peckinpah (it has number of the regular Peckinpah players, a deep cynicism about authority figures and is once again about the death of the west). Plus, Scott introduces Darryl to the fact Peckinpah is a real person (you will have to listen in for more context on that).
