This episode features the guest voice talent of Morgan Jeske. The videos in this series will cover Tarantino’s latest film, The Hateful Eight, as well as it’s cinematic, literary, and historical precedents. Ranging from cowboy novels of the turn of the 20th century to the horror films of the 70s. The series will try to contextualize Tarantino’s film in the history of the western and how the film argues that the western is a narrative that has been built on some spectacularly vile and racist ideas.

This fourth episode of the series focuses on the history of the winter western, ranging throughout the entire history of the western. Along with this subgenre, this episode covers Elmore Leonard’s contributions to the western, the television western, William Witney, William Wellman, Ida Lupino, Robert Altman, Andre De Toth, Sergio Corbucci’s most political film, gore-western obscurity Cut Throats Nine, two Roger Corman productions shot in the town of Deadwood, and Takashi Miike’s brilliant Sukiyaki Western Django.

This is something I’ve wanted to do with the show for a while and it is only now possible thanks to the support of our Patreon backers. This first series will be made available to them a little early in thanks for their support. We hope to continue making videos like this and we hope you enjoy this project and you can support us at the new level to make more of these happen. Prospective topics for future series include: Suspiria, Django Unchained, Death Proof, Kathryn Bigelow, and the early films of David Cronenberg.

Here is part three of six of the first Travis Bickle on the Riviera video essay series, Tarantino Goes West.
