This week Sean and Steven delve into the classic western. First they review and discuss the new Scott Cooper movie Hostiles starring Christian Bale, Rosamond Pike, and Wes Studi. Then they talk about two classic westerns and how they evolve the Native American story and representation in film that leads up to Hostiles. They talk about John Ford's first collaboration with John Wayne in Stagecoach and then compare it to their later, and greatest collaboration in The Searchers. How do these movies treat the Native Americans and their story? What is their representation in these classic westerns, and where are we now in the evolution of that representation and understanding?
