28/07/2025 Duração: 02h48minBecause our patrons asked for it, William Bibbiani picked the topic for this month's THE IRON LIST! And he picked a topic that Witney Seibold has been vetoing, constantly,for years.Yes, it's THE BEST WESTERNS EVER! These are the western films we think of when we think about westerns. (Movies set in the present day with western themes, aka "Neo-Westerns," are a topic for another episode, but spoiler alert: Witney does fudge it a bit.)Content Warning: Some of the best westerns ever made were made by some terrible people, so we will discuss those topics.Subscribe on Patreon at www.patreon.com/criticallyacclaimednetwork to get exclusive podcasts and exciting rewards, like exclusive series, commentary tracks, and much more!Email us at letters@criticallyacclaimed.net, so we can read your correspondence and answer YOUR questions in future episodes!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
