"... ALEX COX, TELLS THE STORY OF NINETEENTH--CENTURY AMERICAN ADVENTURER WILLIAM WALKER..."

PICS INFO: Mega spotlight on assorted film stills (and two gifs) from the 1987 historical Weird Western film, "Walker," directed by Alex Cox and written by Rudy Wurlitzer. The film stars Ed Harris as William Walker, the American filibuster who invaded and made himself president of Nicaragua.

FILM: "Walker"

DIRECTOR: Alex Cox

SCREENPLAY: Rudy Wurlitzer

PRODUCED: Lorenzo O'Brien, Angel Flores Marini

CINEMATOGRAPHY: David Bridges

DISTRIBUTED: Universal Pictures

RELEASE DATE: December 4, 1987

OVERVIEW: "A hallucinatory biopic that breaks all cinematic conventions, "Walker," from British director Alex Cox, tells the story of nineteenth-century American adventurer William Walker (Ed Harris), who abandoned a series of careers in law, politics, journalism, and medicine to become a soldier of fortune and, for many months, the dictator of Nicaragua. Made with mad abandon and political acuity—and the support of the Sandinista army and government during the contra war—the film uses this true tale as a satirical attack on American ultra-patriotism and a freewheeling condemnation of “manifest destiny.” Featuring a powerful score by Joe Strummer and a performance of intense, repressed rage by Harris, Walker remains one of Cox’s most daring works."

Hello! It’s been a busy week over here, and I’ve been slowly compiling a list of 100 popular podcasts I want to finish. This week I’ve been mostly listening to new shows, but there have been a few golden oldies as well.

Moonburn: this YA slice-of-life takes about three hours to listen to, and it’s a charming, entertaining series with a bit of mystery to keep fans guessing. Plus, new episodes are going to be coming out for the next few weeks. Full review here. 🌕

Dead West: a very unsettling Weird Western with great music, well-described horror and an imaginative plot. It also comes with stand alone anthology episodes to keep things interesting. Dead West is a modern take on the Western genre that looks critically at the politics of the Gilded Age. 👹

At the Bottom of the Garden - Chapter Two: these episodes have been pretty short so far (perfect for commuting) and I’m enjoying hearing the eerie tales of the fairies at the bottom of the garden. I’m looking forward to finding out more about Aidan’s increasingly erratic behaviour, and what’s going to happen to Nancy. It’s giving similar vibes to The Mistholme Museum. 🧚

The Adventure Zone (Balance): it’s finally finished! TAZ Balance has been one of my favourite podcasts for a while now as I’ve been working my way through the many, many episodes. There were loads of references to old catchphrases (which I loved), plenty of cheesy puns, a song called Voidfish which I’m going to be binge-listening to on YouTube for a while, and all in all a brilliant ending. 🪼
