Vi tittar på två lite mindre traditionella porträtt av den amerikanska västern: I MEEK'S CUTOFF visar Kelly Reichardt hur jobbigt det kan vara att gå vilse längs med The Oregon Trail och i THE RIDER använder sig Chloe Zhao av faktiska cowboys för att visa hur de lever nu för tiden. Björn får sjunga Cowboy Junkies också.

Dance, Girl, Dance and Meek's Cutoff both shine a light in different ways on the marginalisation of women in their respective time periods.

A desperate, misguided venture, driven by vanity and doomed to failure - but enough about Owen and Ralph’s podcasting ambitions, this week they’re joined by Lara Alonso Corona to discuss Kelly Reichardt’s existential western Meek’s Cutoff, a ‘desert poem’ from the dry valleys of the Oregon trail.
Kelly Reichardt’s latest, FIRST COW, finds the veteran indie filmmaker returning to territory she’s visited before — specifically 19th-century Oregon Territory, a historical terrain Reichardt first explored in her 2010 anti-Western MEEK’S CUTOFF. This week we’re joined by Vox Culture critic Alissa Wilkinson as we hitch our proverbial wagons to MEEK’S CUTOFF to discuss how it fits into Reichardt’s tradition of road movies that don’t go anywhere, and our respective reactions to its deliberately slow pace and frustrating ending. Plus, we respond to some listener feedback on our recent episodes on GROUNDHOG DAY and EUROVISION. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about MEEK’S CUTOFF, FIRST COW, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Before the entire world shut down, there was an extremely good Kelly Reichardt movie ("First Cow") halfway into theaters. Now it's shelved, but our career-spanning look at the American independent stalwart continues. Known for their lived-in detail, complex female leads and incisive social commentary, Reichardt titles like "Wendy and Lucy" (2008), "Meek's Cutoff" (2010) and "Night Moves" (2013) examine the age-old cracks in the Pacific Northwest's rebellious mythology. Of course, the guys also discuss what they've been watching under quarantine and Chance shares a telling bit from his recent interview with Reichardt. BE REEL is brought to you by California College of the Arts' Writing MFA Program. Learn more about their wonderful work at cca.edu/writingmfa.
With FIRST COW, Kelly Reichardt returns to the 19th century Oregon Territory of her most acclaimed film, "Meek's Cutoff." An early film of the year candidate, Adam and Josh praise Reichardt's parable about capitalism and self-invention for its detail, its performances and its mouth-watering "oily cakes."

The term "outsider art" is most often applied to self-taught visual artists or sculptors who have little contact with the mainstream art world. But who are the outsiders in music and cinema? We discuss our favorite weirdos, cult classics, and otherwise left-field artists in this episode of "Reel to Reel." Featured clips: - "Records" by R. Stevie Moore - Dialogue from "Meek's Cutoff" (2010) - "La Poupee Qui Fait Non" by Cristina - "I'm A Suspect" by Lonnie Holley Note: We do not own any of the music used in this podcast.

Warners Media knows what it feels like to be god as they flip the switch and resurrect the bloated corpse of Filmstruck within the patchwork body that shall be known as Criterion Channel! We pay homage to two giants of cinema with a respectful salute to Nicholas Roeg and a look at our favourite William Goldman-scripted films. Then Jesse and Tom Netflix and Chill (I believe I'm using that correctly) and catch up on the sumptuous six course meal that is the Coen Brother's western anthology: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs -but not before getting lost on the Oregon Trail with Meek's Cutoff

"Is he ignorant or is he just plain evil?" The story of the real Meek's Cutoff is an interesting and tragic tale in the early days of the Oregon Trail. Many pioneers lost their lives as they followed their guide, Stephen Meek, and proceeded to get lost. For her follow-up to Wendy and Lucy, Kelly Reichardt chose to make a film about this historical journey and the people who suffered while on it. But is her minimal filmmaking style effective for a historical drama? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Kelly Reichardt series with her 2010 film Meek's Cutoff. We talk about the nature of stories told in media res and discuss if it works for a historical film like this one. We discuss Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, Will Patton and the other actors performing here and look at what they bring to the table (and if any can top Bruce's crazy character). And we chat about the look of the film and what Kelly, paired with her new cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt, were saying with their static shots, long takes, yellow tint, dark night scenes and 1.33:1 aspect ratio. It's an interesting film. Not one we liked but an interesting one to look at and discuss, to be sure. Tune in!

They've managed to keep Thor's sense of humor in here, a healthy dose of Guardians of the Galaxy vibe running all through it, plus an arena battle with gladiator Hulk! Goth Cate Blanchett! Disco Jeff Goldblum! It's insane in all the right ways – count me in!" Pete's Trailer: The Journey — "A road movie telling the story of Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness compressing what I believe was a 20 year drive toward peace in Northern Ireland. Much controversy about this film as a reenactment, but just maybe in spite of inaccuracies, it's the kind of movie we need just now? Timothy Spall looks damned amazing as Paisley."

This week we discuss Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff.
For new release CERTAIN WOMEN guest Ben Zuk helps us present our own anthology of Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams film collaborations. In WENDY AND LUCY a young woman becomes financially stranded in Oregon during a trip cross country with her dog, while in MEEK'S CUTOFF a group of settlers' wives are unable to participate in the decision making when their guide gets them lost on the Oregon Trail. Which place from these films proves the biggest roadblock for their respective characters? For that we bring in Andrew from AB Film Review and The Last New Wave as he is the self-proclaimed most isolated podcaster on Earth. Also: two of the three voices on this show verify that they did not record naked. Twitter/Instagram: @warmachinehorse

We're all just playing our parts now. This was written long before we got here. I'm at your command. This week, we get caught under the spell of the 2010 uber-realistic western, Meek's Cutoff. Then we get into our fourth installment of our Film Westival, The Searchers. Finally, our top 5 abduction movies.
On this episode we talk about the films of American director Kelly Reichardt. In particular we look at her films Old Joy (2006), Wendy and Lucy (2008), and Meek's Cutoff (2010). This episode features Marcus Pinn, Brian Risselada, and Josh Ryan.
It's a short show this week, as we recorded in advance knowing that we'd be knee deep in TIFF. We will be checking out Kelly Reichardt's new film, so thought this was the perfect time to discuss Meek's Cutoff starring Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Bruce Greenwood. According to reviews on IMDB, people seem to either love or hate this film. Tune in to see where we stand. Join our Facebook Group Voicemails to 206-338-0793 emails to marriedwithclickers@gmail.com
We shift gears and go a little art house this week as we check out a pair of films that took the film festival circuit by storm.

Then, "Certified Copy," a day in the life of a man and a woman who may or may not have a history together.
Steve Head and John Black turn their attion to the new Blu-ray & DVD releases: Secret Sunshine, Nikita, The Perfect Host, Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy, Rebirth, If a Tree Falls, Meek's Cutoff, and The Best of Jack Benny.

We top this all off with our top 5 period pieces (except Jeremy misheard and did his top 5 costume dramas.
An eclectic collection of reviews this week - 5 Fast 5 Furiou5, Chalet Girl, Meek's Cutoff, Sucker Punch and Arthur, so pretty much something for everyone!
