On this episode host Scott and special guest Craig Cohen try to puzzle through the many cuts of "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." Over the course of the episode we talk about both its complicated production and even more complicated post-production. Plus, we get into how this could be Peckinpah's ultimate statement on the death of the west (this being his last western), it's iconic soundtrack and the films massive critical reassessment which started back in the 1980s.

On this episode host Scott and special guest Andrew Gaudion look at the more successful of Peckinpah & Steve Mcqueen's two 1972 collaborations, "The Getaway".Over the course of the episode we talk about how this film proved a return for what audiences wanted from both McQueen & Peckinpah, the major scandal caused by McQueen & Ali McGraws affair and the films ace action set-pieces. Also, we get into how trying to make Peckinpah's worst instincts more palatable can make them come off worse, the power Mcqueen had as producer on the film and just how different it would have been directed by Peter Bogdanovich (as was originally intended).

On this episode host Scott and special guest Paul Willson-Morris (Spocklight) look into one of Peckinpah's most amiable films "Junior Bonner." Over the course of the episode we talk about how the film shows Peckinpah at his most tender, how it is powered by McQueen's outstanding performance and how it overdoes it a bit on the rodeo montage front.
