Johnny Guitar (1954)

Howdy partners, this week the Crit Club was roped into watching the incredibly named, 1954 Joan Crawford western Johnny Guitar. It’s a psychosexual drama of bitter rivalries, NIMBY politics, and someone named the Dancin’ Kid. Come give a listen and find out whether we rode off into the sunset with this one or left it tied to the railroad tracks. 

For next week, it’s a WIZARD PICK™, and we’ll be watching the 1940 historical fantasy film The Thief of Bagdad. Watch along with us!
