#105: McCabe & Mrs. Miller with Rachel Bellwoar

This time we’re once again joined by the great Rachel Bellwoar (“The Physical Media Advocate”, “Beyond the Valley of the Discs” podcast) for a discussion of the audio commentary for one of the all-time revisionist westerns: Robert Altman’s 1971 film “McCabe & Mrs. Miller”. Among the things discussed: great coats in the snow, Altman’s repertory company of brilliant character actors, Shelly Duvall’s Olive Oyl being the greatest comic-to-film casting of all time, getting movies rated R to keep teenagers out, Stanley Kubrick’s legendarily annoying phone calls, shooting in Vancouver before the formation of the CW, and so much more.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “Stagecoach” (1939), “Red River” (1948), and “Back to the Future Part III” (1990)
