Scott and John journey to the Old West on Popcorn Eschaton! First, they discover a conspiracy of murder, oil speculation, and land left in Joseph H. Lewis's 'Terror in a Texas Town,' starring a harpoon-wielding Sterling Hayden. Then they stretch the definition of "Western" a bit to discuss William Wyler's 1956 film 'Friendly Persuasion,' a story of deeply held spiritual and pacifist beliefs being put to the test in the crucible of the Civil War. This is the first in what will eventually be a series on Popcorn Eschaton in which we examine the Western genre with a spiritual and leftist lens.
