Sat, 05 Aug 2023 00:55:08 GMT

This week: "Zachariah" (1971), a strange movie about two cowboys presumably dating each other, drum solos, gunfighting, a truly horrendous female lead, and rolling around in the desert.

This week: "Johnny Guitar" (1954), a long movie full of glamorous outfits, an evil lady, an absent main character, and the one true J.C. We were simply "whelmed" watching this, with the runtime dragging "Johnny Guitar" down. Tune in each week for Lucas and Cathy's take on the world of cult movies!
