Podcasts about Seth Bullock

Seth Bullock first pinned a badge in Montana, where he presided over the territory's very first legal execution. That's in addition to serving as a territorial senator and establishing Yellowstone National Park. Bullock then drifted east to the Black Hills and helped tame the lawless boom town of Deadwood. And let's be honest, Bullock's time in Deadwood is what he's mostly known for, thanks to the HBO drama of the same name. But how accurate was that portrayal? What was Bullock's life like before Deadwood? How'd he go from being a frontier Sheriff to serving as a bodyguard for the President of the United States? And is it true he raised an entire regiment of cowboys to fight in World War I? Join me today as we discuss the real-life Seth Bullock, a man Teddy Roosevelt once described as a true westerner and the finest type of frontiersman. And yes, we'll also take a look at whether or not Bullock had any run-ins with the notorious Al Swearengen.  This episode is brought to you by Huel.

This week, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, a trip to a friend's house to buy some meth, turns into a horrifying three day session of brutality, when a man is duct taped, and seeming driven all over town, in the trunk of car. He's also stuffed into a tool box, among other atrocities. Several people witness this, and no one does anything to help. Eventually, everyone involved thinks it's "no body, no crime", but they are very much mistaken! Will anyone lead police to the body??Along the way, we find out that Seth Bullock & Wild Bill Hickok didn't even know each other, that owing someone $250 for meth can be a life threatening situation, and that being on meth for 4 straight days can skew your remembering of times & dates!!New episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

Deadwood a fêté ses 20 ans.Deadwood, série western créée par David Milch et diffusée originellement sur HBO de 2004 à 2006, célèbre aujourd'hui ses deux décennies d'existence. Cette œuvre magistrale plonge les spectateurs dans le camp minier de Deadwood, Dakota du Sud, durant la ruée vers l'or des années 1870.Portée par des performances remarquables, notamment celle d'Ian McShane dans le rôle d'Al Swearengen et Timothy Olyphant incarnant Seth Bullock, la série se distingue par ses dialogues shakespeariens mêlés à une vulgarité crue et authentique. "Deadwood" dépeint avec réalisme la naissance d'une communauté à partir du chaos, où loi et civilisation s'établissent progressivement dans un environnement brutal.Malgré son arrêt prématuré après trois saisons, la série a connu une conclusion tardive avec un film en 2019. Vingt ans après sa création, "Deadwood" reste acclamée pour sa vision sans concession de l'Ouest américain et sa profonde exploration de la nature humaine.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, we travel through the haunted plains of South Dakota, a state known for its rugged beauty and wild frontier past. But beneath the iconic landscapes of Mount Rushmore and the Badlands, there are ghostly stories that have been told for generations.

Haunted tours of the hotel offer a closer look at this Old West spirit. Homestake Opera House 313 W Main St, Lead, SD 57754 Once a grand theater during the gold rush, the Homestake Opera House is now haunted by spirits from its past, including a mysterious woman seen on stage.

As the "Something Pretty" podcast concludes its in-depth exploration of the "Deadwood" series, the journey is far from over. Before delving into "Deadwood: The Movie," the podcast plans to take a detour to cover a few significant and related projects that emerged in the decade between the end of the series and the release of the movie. These podcasts will be available in full at our Patreon website. Please consider joining.Our first topic: 2007's "Hitman", starring Seth Bullock himself!"Hitman," released in 2007, is an action-thriller film based on the popular video game series of the same name. The film features Timothy Olyphant, known for his role as Sheriff Seth Bullock in "Deadwood," in the lead role as Agent 47. This character is a mysterious and elite assassin known for his precision, skill, and the iconic barcode tattooed on the back of his head. The movie revolves around Agent 47, who becomes embroiled in a political conspiracy and finds himself pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Eastern Europe. The plot thickens with twists and turns, as 47 tries to unravel the conspiracy while dealing with moral dilemmas and his own enigmatic identity.Regarding Timothy Olyphant's involvement in "Hitman," it's noteworthy that he accepted this role under pressing circumstances. Following the cancellation of "Deadwood" in 2006, Olyphant found himself in a financially challenging situation, having made significant investments in real estate. Consequently, Olyphant took on the role of Agent 47 in "Hitman," a movie he reportedly disliked, as a means to stabilize his finances. Fortunately, "Justified" wouldn't be that far off.If you enjoyed this short clip, please consider supporting the show via our Patreon.

Taylor Sheridan is the actor and director who has probably become best know as the co-creator of the epic Paramount Network series "Yellowstone" and its prequels "1883" and "1923." His newest project is serving as executive producer for "Lawmen: Bass Reeves," a Paramount+ anthology series that launches Nov. 5 that feels like it should be part of the "Yellowstone" arc but is separate entity. "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" is a passion project of star David Oyelowo, who takes on the title role, and tells the story of the first Black U.S. Marshal, Bass Reeves. The show also stars Donald Sutherland, Dennis Quaid, Lauren E. Banks and Demi Singleton. In this week's episode, co-host Bruce Miller has interviews with showrunner Chad Feehan and Damian Marcano, one of the directors. Where to watch and more coverage "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" on Paramount+ (Nov. 5) "Yellowstone" on CBS "Yellowstone" on Paramount Network "1883" on Paramount+ "1923" on Paramount+ Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Headliner and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Terry Lipshetz: Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Streamed & Screened, an entertainment podcasts about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises, I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and co-host of the program. Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. Well, howdy, partner. I reckon we have a show set in the wild, Wild West we're going to be talking about this week. Bruce Miller: I'm, fixing to come in here anytime now. And can you put me two fingers of whiskey on the counter? And we should be fine. Terry Lipshetz: I got my can of beans heating. Bruce Miller: Up over the open flame now. It sounds like Blazing Saddles. I think we've done. Terry Lipshetz: We have, yeah. All right. Bruce Miller: Yeah. 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' is an epic miniseries Bruce Miller: It's Western week because there's this huge miniseries, and I'm not kidding you, it is, a grand effort called Lawmen, M-E-N Bass Reeves. So you go lawmen. There's only one. What's the deal? And what this is hopefully going to be is a series of profiles of various and sundry law men over the course of time. But Bass Reeves was a kind of a passion of David O. Yellowo, the star of the limited series. And he had always wanted to do this story because he thought it was so rare. He's the first black deputy US. Marshal west of the you, know, is there one east of the Mississippi? I have no. But it's a fascinating look at this man and his standards. It really is a lot know, what he does is what he thinks is right, and right becomes the driving force behind all of this. And you see Bass in a lot of situations. It is epic. An epic, epic limited, series. There are huge battle scenes. There are huge kind of roundups. There's a lot of violence. I'm giving you that right away. There's a lot of violence in this thing. And there's a lot of intimate moments where you see him one on one with his family, with others, with people that used to be in charge of his life. And it's a fascinating look at a period that I really didn't realize I needed to know more of. I thought most of these stories were already told, but Bass Reeves story is one that's been out there for years that people have wanted to do, but nobody has gotten the ability to do it. And what we learned is that it took, you know, when you've got somebody behind Yellowstone, saying, yeah, I think we should do this, they suddenly pop too, and decide that they're going to do it, too. People were wrongly saying that this was another 'Yellowstone' series Terry Lipshetz: Yeah. Now, I have a question for you about that, because I saw Taylor Sheridan is an executive producer, and I saw this show. It is coming to Paramount Plus. But this is not part of the Yellowstone universe. Correct. Bruce Miller: No, there was talk, and I think you'll see when we play the interviews, that there is a connection or was a connection and they couldn't make it, the time frame was wrong. And so people were wrongly saying that this was another Yellowstone series. It's not okay. It has a vague time reference, kind of lap over with 1883, but that's as close as it comes. It's a standalone thing that just happens to come from that factory known as Taylor Sheridan, but his name is on it. He isn't necessarily the writer of this, he isn't necessarily the director of this, but he is an executive producer. So he's kind of a mentor that helps get this done. Terry Lipshetz: So he's a cog in the wheels here. He's helping getting this thing going. Bruce Miller: You know, he looked at all the scripts and, you know, he saw the film and he says, yeah, we should do this or we should do that. I think the most telling thing was they would throw out ideas and there was money for it. a lot of times when you do these big westerns, they're not cheap to do because there are so many other things that progress has gotten in the way of shooting a good Western these days. And so you either have to build the community or you have to find towns that were relatively untouched, so you could just cover up some of the things that are there. But, yeah, it was expensive film to make, and I think it shows when you look at it on the screen, you go, wow, this isn't just we're not closing in on two people and looking very tightly at what's going on. Terry Lipshetz: And there's some big names attached to this also. I saw this. Bruce Miller: Yeah, there are big names that are kind of like, Sam Elliott. They're kind of the bait that'll get you in to look at this. But there's another story there that's much bigger than what their stories are. Terry Lipshetz: Sure. But it's also, with all of these, even though it's not a Yellowstone project, the one piece that all of those Yellowstone programs had or know, because they're still on is they have like, your Kevin Costner or Harrison Ford or somebody that has a name and is pulling you in. So there's definitely this isn't some no name project of people. Bruce Miller: David Oyelowo, you may remember him from Selma. He played Martin Luther Jr. And, I put him in the same league as Chadwick Boseman, where he is somebody who can play just about everything, but doesn't always get the opportunity. And you can see why he would spend eight years trying to get this thing made, because it does tell a story that we, don't know, we haven't heard, and he gets a great acting part. Now, some of the things I would have protested, I would have said, do we need to do this? Do I need to be dragged through fire? And do I need to have somebody beat me up? And should we really have to mess with all those animals, but he wanted it to be as realistic as it could be. So he was willing to do just about anything to make sure that it came through to the audience. Because he doesn't think that it's a story about it isn't a historic story, necessarily, as much as it is story about a person's inner self and what they're really like. Terry Lipshetz: Got it. I, saw the trailer even before you had mentioned that this was coming up and you had some interviews tied to just I was watching something and the trailer popped up for the show and I was like, whoa, I need to subscribe to Paramount Plus. Because, first of all, I've never seen any of the Yellowstone programs because it's just again, and we've talked about this with like Apple TV Plus and a few others where I'll just kind of come and go and pick my battles because I just can't have 35 different subscriptions. But I feel like between this program and then maybe going back and watching some of those Yellowstone programs, this is what's going to push me over the edge to finally subscribe. Bruce Miller: Yellowstone is being run or rerun on CBS now, so you will be able to see those without having to pay extra. But this is definitely a Paramount Plus project and so I don't think we're going to see that slip over. So spend the bucks. Go for it. Terry Lipshetz: Have you been able to watch any, did you get any screeners? Bruce Miller: The first three of it? I saw the first three, yeah. And it sets up the story and you see how he gets his freedom and what he does with it and where he goes from there. And then they offer him this job, this job of being a deputy marshal. And then you see how he interacts with the Native Americans or the natives and how he can speak their languages. And, he becomes a very valuable asset to be able to find out what's going on in this part of the world. Terry Lipshetz: How does this stack up with other kind of recent Westerns, either movies or TV shows that you've seen? Because I'm always fascinated by Westerns as a genre, especially. I'm not even talking about the old ones with John Wayne, but I'm m even talking about just the new ones because I feel like this planet, it's expanding so much that it's so hard now to film anything because you make a left, you make a right, and you're running into civilization. So does it feel like you're back out in the west? Bruce Miller: Oh, most definitely, because it looks so great. The visuals are just spot on in all these places. You sense what they valued at that time. And what, matters is there's a scene in there where this one woman I don't want to detail too much of it for you because I don't want to spoil it, but she really wants a piano. and you can see how we've changed. And we don't realize what something which seems simple becomes this huge deal for them. So, yeah, there are many kind of flashpoint moments where you go, okay, I get it. What happened was Star Wars came in to play and started doing westerns. Basically, they're Westerns, right? Terry Lipshetz: Space westerns. Bruce Miller: So that's where they think we got to spend all of our time and our money is making more space epics. But really, do we need more of those? And I know you love them, so forgive me, but this is just a way of telling those same kinds of stories but in a different period. And maybe we're able to, approach some of their lessons a little better because we see that it's removed from us, but then you realize we're not that far away from what they're talking about. Terry Lipshetz: I really feel like I'm definitely going to go ahead and watch this, because the genre, just in general, I love it. Deadwood on HBO was one of my favorite series of all time. and I did like that movie that came out a couple of years ago. It was about ten years after the TV series, and it sort of tied up the loose ends that they couldn't quite get to before the show went off the air. But this past summer, we made a trip out to the Badlands, and I did insist that we do a day trip to we were we went to downtown Deadwood, and we're checking out all the modernized old timey places that were named after characters on the show because griswold yeah. Bruce Miller: Did you go to the graves and. Terry Lipshetz: Look at all that or we went, and it was kind of interesting. the grave for Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, they're right next to each other, not too far into the main cemetery in town, which is up on a hill. So we had to drive up this really tall hill. But then I also want to see the grave for Seth Bullock, who is kind of the marshal of the town and kind of the first lawmen. And they're like, well, it's up around the corner. So we all start walking up the hill and it's like, not part of the cemetery, so it's like part of the old cemetery. So we're walking, walking, walking. And then this family is coming down and they're like, you going up to see Seth Bullock? And we're like, yeah, how bad is it? And they're laughing, it's not that bad. So my wife and one of my daughters kind of just sat down there and then my other daughter and we we trekked up to the top and saw it and caught our breath. Bruce Miller: So the Von, traps worked up the mountain. Is that the deal you were I. Terry Lipshetz: Did make it up to the top. It was a spectacular view of Deadwood from the top of that hill. But yeah, it was a bit of a hike to the top. Bruce Miller: Did you go down then and gamble at Morningstar? Terry Lipshetz: No, we had the kids and those places are all 18 plus. But it was fascinating. There was one place in town which did, a brothel tour, and you had to be 16 to go in. Bruce Miller: So we sound like, I know this. Terry Lipshetz: We didn't go in because my daughters are under 16 and just didn't feel as appropriate anyway. But, I found it fascinating because they had a sign outside the place. And the brothel was formed in 1870 something. And it didn't get shut down until 1980. 1980? Wow. Bruce Miller: This is like the Bunny Ranch outside of Vegas. Terry Lipshetz: Yes, exactly. Yeah. Bruce Miller: It's amazing how they really are good at capturing a piece of time. When you go out to the Badlands, it's really OOH. Is this really what it was like? And yes, it was. And it's, the land that Time forgot. You can just go there and feel like you're back in the Old West. Terry Lipshetz: It was fun. It was fun. It was a good time. Chad Feehan is the showrunner behind ‘Bass Reeves' Terry Lipshetz: So you had a couple interviews here. the first one up was, Chad Feehan. Right? Bruce Miller: Chad is the writer, the showrunner, and the executive producer behind Bass Reeves. And he was the one who sat down with David and kind of picked his brain. And then they did the research on how are we going to tell this story? Is it going to be a movie? That was initially the thought is it be a movie, a standalone movie. And he is there throughout the whole run of this. And he got a chance to do things that maybe he has never done before. It's so big. He said he has never had a project that sweeping. Yeah. So, he's the showrunner, the person behind every episode of the film. And he was the one who helped David get this off the ground and find the point of all of it. Bruce Miller: Well, what is it like not having David around during this kind of the selling of the show when it's his passion project, for God's sakes? Chad Feehan: I am, the reluctant spokesman, because this is his show, and he's been pursuing it for eight years. And it truthfully breaks my heart that he's not here, with me, leading the charge, to communicate all of his passion for the story. Bruce Miller: How did he involve you in that? Mean, I'm sure that Bass reads was not one that you would I've got to, I've got to write this. Until somebody sparked it in you right. Chad Feehan: Yeah. I mean, I grew up in Texas. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. And I heard stories about Bass as a kid. but they were sort of this mythical Glenn Sling and lawman. And it did embed itself in my consciousness, so I was aware of it. and then Taylor, who I've orbited around for years, recommended me to David. And David invited me to dinner. And I anticipated that dinner lasting an hour, an hour and a half, and it lasted 4 hours. and first and foremost, we developed sort of an immediate kinship, that has developed into a very special friendship that I think will last for the rest of our lives. But we also gravitated toward the same things that we wanted to communicate to an audience the triumph of the human spirit, the universality of the human condition. and then he was able to educate me on where fact and fiction converged with separated from the reality of who Bass Reeves was as a man. Bruce Miller: How much of it is factual? Is it 90%, 75%? Chad Feehan: It's hard to answer with a percentage. what I would say is that there are these similar moments we know about Bass's life that we use as pillars for the foundation of our story. but it's impossible to know, for example, what he experienced right before or right after the moment he was sworn in as a Deputy US. Marshal. We have the transcript of him being sworn in, but we don't know what happened before and we don't know what happened after. So our job as storytellers, was to imagine and create the most compelling narrative that we could. Bruce Miller: How difficult was it to conjure this world? Is it difficult? Or do you just get outside and you start thinking, this must be what it's like? Or how do you handle that? Chad Feehan: I had, the benefit of having grown up where I grew up, so the language was easier for me to wrap my head around. we had this great source material that provided an, excellent launching pad. And then I had amazing collaborators, wide array of voices, from a wide array of backgrounds, writers, to, I mean, Wyn Thomas, our production designer, that really educated me on the things I didn't know and didn't understand and helped guide me through that process. Bruce Miller: So does David ever say no, I'm not doing that. Does he have that kind, of I can put up a barrier here because I know more about this. This is mine. Chad Feehan: That is, antithetical to who David Oyelowo is. if I could use one word to embody him, it would be grace. so he's incredibly giving, graceful, compassionate. If there was something that he was unsure about, it would always be a conversation. And he would never say, no, I can't do that. Bruce Miller: He would say, you put him through a lot of stuff. Chad Feehan: Yeah. His commitment to his craft is incredible. Bruce Miller: Yeah. then, ah, being as broad as this is, I did not believe that you could have all those animals, truthfully, the buffalo, all that stuff. Do you say, I want this, and then it just happens? Or how do you make sure that it's that big that kind of lavish. Chad Feehan: I was shocked. This is by far the biggest thing I've ever done and the hardest production I've ever been through. But I would ask the opening Civil War battle, I'd be like, Are you sure I can write this? And to Paramount and 100 and one's credit, the answer was always yes. we'll find a way, we'll figure it out. Write the best story you can write. and I've shied away from that earlier on in my career, and I'm glad that I asked the questions and was given the authority to chase those epic. Bruce Miller: As a writer, that must be really, a, disconnect, because you're used to them having somebody saying, rein it in a little bit. We can't be spending this much money, and this looks like the sky's the limit. Chad Feehan: Yeah. Paramount 101. Very gracious, Taylor. That's the power of Taylor Sheridan. As, know, we didn't get every single thing. We know nothing in life works that way. but we got the majority of what we wanted, and the support that we had, was incredible. Bruce Miller: When it's labeled lawmen, that suggests that there are more have you already started thinking about the more and what that would be? Chad Feehan: I have a few different, historical figures that I'm interested in that I think are worthy of following in the footsteps of Bass Reeves. I don't know who it will be, and I'm not, going to speculate on who it will be, because we have to talk to the studio and the network. but I'm excited about the prospect of doing another, because this does fall. Bruce Miller: During the same time period as 1883, would there ever have been any kind of crossover or connection or not? Chad Feehan: Yeah, we briefly talked about it, and then when I sort of figured out that our story took place from roughly 1862 to 1877, and then also with the knowledge that Bass Reeves operated primarily in Indian territory, it didn't seem, organic to try to make that connection. But we had those conversations, and I was given the opportunity to make that connection if it serviced the story. Bruce Miller: So how does Bass change you personally as a writer? Chad Feehan: I was just talking about, know, the thing about the universality of the human condition was the thing that I wanted to really, really communicate to our audience. And it's something that I've intellectualized for a very long time, but now I feel like it's become part of my DNA based on the experience of I've made this show, and I hope to continue that in future, endeavors that I pursue. Bruce Miller: Ah, that's so great. Well, thank you so much, and thank you. Congratulations. And when you see David, tell him congratulations. Chad Feehan: I will. Thank you so much. Damian Marcano directs three episodes of ‘Bass Reeves' Terry Lipshetz: All right, Bruce, thanks for that interview. And then you had one other with, Damian Marcano, and here's the deal with that. Bruce Miller: Is that they had to have more than one director for these because they were shooting and you'll hear this, they were shooting episodes simultaneously. So in the morning they would do one episode, in the afternoon they'd do another. So the first three episodes are directed by one person. And then Damian took over four, five, and, there are eight altogether. And, you'll see that it was just a lot of work. And he was not familiar with the Western world either. He calls himself a Rasta director because he's not from Texas. He doesn't have that shorthand that the others might have. But he also know everything is just so fast paced. And so who knows what based on the weather. You have to be willing to adapt very quickly. Bruce Miller: What is this like to be part of somebody's passion project? Is that hard to kind of fit in there, or how do you view it? Damian Marcano: No, man. Easy for me to fit in everywhere. I'm a roster man. So, we always find our beat in the whole thing, man. Bruce Miller: Do you talk with David? And now what do you want to do with this? What are you looking to do? And what do you want people to learn from this? Damian Marcano: well, my style of directing is let's go do it and get it wrong. So I never ask questions ahead of time. I just say, let's just go. and then some way and somewhere through because even the actor who is so well rehearsed at this point, it is something when you're actually doing it against your scene partner. And then your scene partner might give you a new little ingredient. And then that's when the discussions happen on set. So we may have locked into a master or a way that we like this set, or a way that we're finding our way into this part of the story. and then once we do that, we say, well, okay, now it's time to sort of make the music right? And for know, the music is the silence in between the notes. and when you work with someone as far as David, and you also put the supporting cast around David, as they have brilliantly done in this show, it just gets scene after scene that you're like, can it get better? Bruce Miller: But you're also dealing with some, real variables, like animals. How do you plan for that? Damian Marcano: You don't. yeah, animals are easy. The weather is the tough part. Bruce Miller: Weather. Damian Marcano: Yeah. We have probably some of the best animal handlers that I haven't had to work with this many animals in my career. Right. So I think this definitely makes them the best. I remember seeing everything from a camel, to a lynx cat that was brought in for one of my episodes. yeah, if the script called for it, we went out, we found it. but like I said, there was the Texas of it. So being there for my portion of this show, which was five and a half to six months, just to film three episodes, that's to tell you the detail, that we went in multiple visits to every location. I mean, we rebuilt a city at one point, and still Texas would still say, not today. I'm going to give you some golf ball sized hail today. Tomorrow there's going to be an actual tornado. and maybe you can shoot that on Thursday. So, you had to lean into your optimistic side on this shoot to figure out on days, and that's with very much respect to our Ad department, they would sort of have to go on the fly. Like, call sheet would be sent out the night before, this is what we're shooting. Not anymore. and that was sort of the only way we got through this. The nice thing about it, however, through it all, you get to watch these brilliant dailies that you work on from time to time, and you say, you know what? I got it. Because if this all comes and cuts together, well, we got something, because we have some pretty special people here, and we have done a great job of capturing it. Bruce Miller: When you get three episodes in a row, it must be like doing a, large film, right? Damian Marcano: It is. Bruce Miller: So then what do you do with the first three? Do you talk to Christina and say, okay, what are you planning here? Damian Marcano: So that I well, we were shooting them simultaneously. so it's really hard on our talent, because in the morning, David is playing one version of Bass, and in the afternoon, it might be twelve years later. All right? So that is the difficulty of it. That is why so much credit has to be given to the Ad department, because those are our eyes and ears, right? They tell us what we can, and they have way much more of a finger on what each department is prepared for and what they can actually do that meets the level of quality that we've been mailing in. So this was a six month affair of just non stop shooting. and we would shoot what we could, when we could. sometimes it was based on the location being ready. Had we built the location, if this called for, the bywater store out in the middle of nowhere, had we built the bywater store in the middle of nowhere, and Wynn Thomas, our production designer, there were just so many talented people that I could look around and see that we had on this project. Bruce Miller: The sets look like actual buildings. They look like ones that you would see in a historic setting. Damian Marcano: They were this was not the example of going over to one of our large studios, that we have in town and saying, oh, you see that backdrop, sort of like the older version of the Western, right, where just the front of the facade was sort of painted. No. There was a set that we had in Strawn, Texas, in which we obviously could not get rid of Strawn's Bank, and the actual bank was there. So we built our set on their main intersection. I remember a day I was there location scouting and just talking with my DPS to how we do something. And an actual person from Strawn, Texas, had just walked out from cashing her check. And she stopped and looked at us, and then we stopped and looked at her, and we're here's. And it was just everything. It was everything colliding. It was, here she is in this small town, and Hollywood's coming town, but on top of that, here we are, making this thing back to its glory. Know? Bruce Miller: Wow. Were you familiar with Bass Reeves? Damian Marcano: Not before doing the project. I couldn't tell you who Bass Reeves was before I did this. I fell in love with a script about a man that was one of the only black men with a gun and a badge at the time. And just the oddities of doing that job while following some type of creed, some kind of mantra, whatever you will, as to how he just wouldn't stop doing that job, and his faith, what he thought, how it would affect his family. All of those things for me, were just like, okay, history is usually depicted from this wide lens way back. We say something happened to a group of people, something happened to another group, and this group was bad. This group, this was like 4D history. So this was like, this actually happened and this is how it happened. And there's no definite answer. So you, as, the viewer in 2023, can make your own mind up. Bruce Miller: That's a great way of viewing it then. Are there more after this run? How far do we get his life? Damian Marcano: well, I do know this first season of Lawmen is anthology series, so I think the other iterations will cover other, does. I'm not sure I couldn't tell you the specificity of how many years this is in Bass's life, but I do know Chad and the team tried to encompass as much of the story as you could know. Essentially, we've made, ah, eight hour film here that we're just cutting up, into episodics. Bruce Miller: Well, it looks like a million bucks, so Westerns must be you. I think they're your thing. Damian Marcano: I would have never thought that growing up, man. But they have become pretty special to me. And I am seriously I don't know, I'm having like this weird missing feeling of Texas, man, because as a creative, it was just really nice to be able we do so much stage work and all the stuff's great, and all our production designers are great, but it was just something to see your entire film. Crew kind of be like childlike again. And we were just all with our boots on out in those fields and Random Cow was doing something over there. And I don't know, it was just a bunch of kids that came together to play. Bruce Miller: Again, thank you so much. It's great. Damian Marcano: Thank you. Bruce Miller: Have a good one. Chad Feehan: You too. Damian Marcano: Thanks for the time. Terry Lipshetz: All right, Bruce, thank you for those two great interviews. As I said, it sounds like a real fascinating program and something that is going to probably push me over the edge to get Paramount. Bruce Miller: Plus now, November 5, mark it on your calendar that's when they start. You'll get episodes the first night and then it will spill out beyond that. Terry Lipshetz: Excellent. Excellent. Movies need two weeks of theater exposure before they're considered Oscar potential Terry Lipshetz: So what do we have on tap next week? Bruce Miller: Oh, we're starting to get into that Oscar season now. All those kind of films that you start kicking yourself and saying, how come they have them all, all those good ones right at once. Well, they're starting you're going to start seeing the Oscar beta, as I like to refer to it. The Holdovers had a sneak last night or this last weekend, and it'll be coming out in November. And that's the one with Paul Giamatti, directed by Alexander Payne and set in the 1970s. And we'll talk about that. NIAD is the story of Diana Nayad and how she tried to swim 100 and some miles off Florida from Cuba, right? Terry Lipshetz: It was Cuba to Florida. Bruce Miller: And that's coming up. So there are a whole bunch of these ones that are just lining up, waiting to get into theaters. They have to have two weeks of theater exposure before they can be considered an Oscar potential film. They changed the rules this year so that it wasn't just that's on streaming. It's okay. They need to have this window of opportunity that they're in theaters before they can be officially considered, a candidate for the Academy Awards. So, as a result, they're getting a little better at showcasing them in theaters before the end of the year. in years past, it was usually Los Angeles and New York, and they had a week there or something. Now the rest of the world is actually getting to see these films before January, February, March, whatever it might be. Terry Lipshetz: Yeah, I was going to say because there was a period of time where it was almost like you would come out and it would be, as you said, New York, La. And you might get a couple of these art house theaters around that might get it over a course of a weekend, a long weekend, and then they'd be gone until you maybe caught it on, a red box or streaming or something. Bruce Miller: Now everybody gets a chance to kind of play the Oscar game where we all can see those films that you always go, what was that one? And now we get an opportunity to. Terry Lipshetz: See know, I feel like if you want to be considered for an Oscar, you have to be in a movie theater for the masses for at least a period of time, as you said. Is it two weeks? If that's the bare minimum, I think that's fine. You got to be able to get out there. You got to go into theaters. You got to allow for people to go in and see you on that giant screen with the giant bucket of popcorn just because it doesn't feel right otherwise. Bruce Miller: Well, I think when you watch it on TV, it does diminish it right. As big as your screen might be at home, it's not the same. And if you can hold an audience on a theater, screen, then that must say something about your film. But when it's reduced to the size of a TV set, I don't know if it's there, but did you get to Killers of the Flower Moon? Terry Lipshetz: Not Harry. Bruce Miller: That's one of the ones we've got to see, because I know it's figuring in the, I've already started to make lists of who could possibly be nominated for each of the categories. Terry Lipshetz: Okay. Bruce Miller: That figures in a lot. Terry Lipshetz: Okay. Yeah, I got to get there. It's gotten a lot tougher of late just because the kids activities ah. Have increased. I'm coaching basketball again. Bruce Miller: Don't blame the kids for this. This is not their problem. This is your problem. Terry Lipshetz: It is. I'm just deflecting you put that down. Bruce Miller: On your list that you're going to go see the, Killers to the Flower Moon, and you're going to subscribe to Paramount plus I am. Bruce: How big exactly is your TV?Bruce: 60 inches Terry Lipshetz: Bruce, one other thing before we depart here. We've never had this conversation before, and it is a little bit personal, but how big exactly is your TV? Bruce Miller: It's not that big. No, it's not big. It's 60 inches. Terry Lipshetz: 60? That's it? Yeah, I'm 65. Bruce Miller: Oh, well, see, I'm used to watching most things on a laptop. That's how they send it. You can't always transfer, it to your TV set. Terry Lipshetz: All you need is that HTM. I need to be your technical support. Bruce, I will come to your house because I can get it from your computer on your laptop onto running on you. Okay. Bruce Miller: The door is open. I will bring snacks. We'll be good. You can watch anything you want to see because I think I probably have it around the house somewhere. Terry Lipshetz: On that note, thank you again for listening to this week's episode, and we will see you again next week on another episode of streamed and screened. Bruce Miller: So long, partner.

Welcome to this episode of The Radio Vagabond, where I continue my road trip in the old west of the USA. We started in Billings, Montana, went to Yellowstone, and east to Devil's Tower in Wyoming. And in this one, I've driven an hour further east to a place with a Wild West History – and a place that is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the American West.  My name is Palle Bo. Welcome to f*ing Deadwood… as they say in the TV series. BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA I'm in The Black Hills, a range of South Dakota mountains known for their stunning natural beauty and rich history. The hills are home to several national parks and monuments, including Mount Rushmore National Memorial, with the iconic carved faces of four American Presidents, and also Badlands National Park, which features unique geological formations and diverse wildlife. More on both of these a bit later.  The Black Hills are also an important cultural and spiritual center for several Native American tribes, including the Lakota and the Cheyenne. In the late 1800s, the Black Hills were the site of the famous Black Hills Gold Rush, which brought thousands of settlers to the area in search of riches.  THE GOLD RUSH PUT THIS PLACE ON THE MAP And we start in a small town in South Dakota that was a big part of this Gold Rush and so uniquely the old Wild West that it became the location and name of a TV series and a movie.  I'm in Deadwood, South Dakota, a town with a rich and wild history that makes it one of the unique places in the United States. Deadwood attracted some of the most famous figures of its time, including Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.  Today, the town has embraced its history, with many original buildings still standing and used as hotels, restaurants, casinos, and museums. And I start my visit to Deadwood by going to one of these museums.  ADAMS MUSEUM The Adams Museum is the oldest in The Black Hills, and I go to learn more about the rich history of Deadwood. In 1930 pioneer businessman W.E. Adams founded the Adams Museum right here in Deadwood to preserve and display the history of the Black Hills.  He donated the building to the City of Deadwood. Inside, I speak to Visitor Services Associate at the museum, Diane.  "The Gold Rush attracted many people here, and at the time there were 5,000 people living here. Today only around 1,200."   Deadwood was founded during the Black Hills Gold Rush of 1875, and it quickly became one of the most dangerous and lawless towns in the American West. Lots of legendary figures used to hang out here, and let me fill you in on two of the most well-known. WILD BILL HICKOK AND CALAMITY JANE  Wild Bill Hickok was a legendary gunslinger and lawman of the American West, and his death in Deadwood, South Dakota, is one of the most famous events in the history of the Wild West. Hickok arrived in Deadwood in the summer of 1876, and he quickly became one of the most recognizable figures in town. He was known for his gun skills and reputation as a lawman, and he has often seen playing cards in local saloons. His friend, Calamity Jane was another famous figure of the American West who called Deadwood home. She was known for her rough-and-tumble lifestyle and was a skilled marksman, but she is best remembered for her association with Wild Bill Hickok.  Calamity Jane claimed to have been married to Wild Bill, but no historical evidence supports this claim. Nevertheless, she remained a popular figure in Deadwood and was known for her wild and adventurous spirit.  Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane represent the spirit of adventure, the lawlessness of the frontier, and a big part of the rich history of Deadwood. MAIN STREET DEADWOOD  I'm taking a stroll down Main Street. In the Deadwood series, this street was dusty in the sun and muddy when it's been raining. Now the street is paved, and no horses are tied outside the saloons. And it doesn't smell of horse manure and sweaty cowboys. It's still got that iconic Wild West look feel.  It's incredible to think about all the stories and legends created in this small town. Walking the streets of Deadwood, I can feel the energy of the past and the spirit of the wild west. It's like stepping back to a place where gunslingers, gamblers, and gold miners roamed the streets.  I will explore some of these historic sites Diane told me about at the museum, and my first stop is the saloon where Wild Bill played his last hand of poker.  WILD BILL GOT SHOT HERE PLAYING POKER On August 2, 1876, Wild Bill was playing a game of poker at Nuttal & Mann's Saloon (Saloon no. 10), when he was approached by a stranger named Jack McCall.  Wild Bill, with his long hair and iconic mustache, was sitting with his back to the door, and McCall came through the door, drew his gun, and shot Wild Bill in the back of the head, killing him instantly. It was later discovered that McCall was seeking revenge for killing his brother, and he claimed that Wild Bill was responsible. The death of Wild Bill Hickok shocked the people of Deadwood, and it quickly became a part of the town's folklore.  Hickok's death remains one of the most famous events in the history of the American West, and it's a testament to the lawlessness and violence of the frontier. Although he was known for his skills as a gunslinger, Wild Bill Hickok will always be remembered as one of the most legendary figures of the Wild West. She lived on for 26 years after Wild Bill got killed, and today, their graves can be found side by side in Mount Moriah Cemetery right here in Deadwood. The signs at the cemetery read: James Butler Hickok, alias "Wild Bill." Born May 27, 1837. Died August 2, 1887. Victim of the assassin Jack McCall. Martha Jane Burke, alias "Calamity Jane." Born May 1, 1851. Died August 1, 1903. Her dying request: "Bury me beside Wild Bill". Even though they are both long gone, their stories continue to captivate people worldwide, and their grave sites are now popular tourist attractions. THE GHOSTS OF DEADWOOD With such a rich history and the lawlessness of many people being killed in these streets and saloons, it's no surprise that many people believe that Deadwood also is home to many ghost stories. One of the most famous ghost stories in Deadwood is that of Wild Bill Hickok, and inside Saloon No 10, I've just seen the chair he was sitting in and in a frame the playing cards he was holding in the poker game – the so-called "Dead Man's Hand."  And it is said that his spirit still haunts the town and that, on occasion, visitors to Deadwood have reported seeing his ghostly figure wandering the streets at night. Some had even claimed to have seen him playing cards in local saloons, just as he was when he was alive. Another famous ghost in Deadwood is that of Calamity Jane. She is said to haunt the town, and visitors to the cemetery where she is buried, have reported seeing her ghostly figure wandering the grounds. Some have even claimed to have heard her ghostly laughter or the sound of her spurs clanging against the hard ground. But there are also several other ghost stories associated with Deadwood. The Bullock Hotel, for example, is said to be haunted by the ghost of former owner Seth Bullock, who is said to still walk the halls of the hotel. And the Bella Union Saloon is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who died in a fire there many years ago. And then, the place I'm heading to now: The Fairmont Hotel. It is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the American West and the site of one of the most popular ghost tours in the area. The Fairmont Hotel Ghost Tour is a guided tour that takes visitors through the hotel's dark and creepy halls, exploring its haunted history and sharing tales of the spirits that are said to haunt the property. Inside I meet George, who can tell me more about this place. GEORGE SAW AND HEARD GHOSTS According to local legend, the Fairmont Hotel is home to several ghostly entities, including the spirit of a former hotel employee who died on the job and the ghosts of several former guests who never checked out. Some people have reported seeing ghosts wandering the halls or hearing strange noises coming from empty rooms, and the hotel staff has even reported seeing objects move on their own or hearing footsteps when no one is there. "I didn't believe in ghosts before I got here but I've seen two ghosts in the year and a half, I've been here. I was working upstairs, I saw a guy, dressed in black walk into a room. I went down to chase him, but he wasn't there. I also built a shoe rack, and I go up there and the sneakers are all over the place." George also tells me that he's only been afraid one time. "I was sleeping up there one night, and in between our two properties, there was a banging on the wall that shook both places. It was four o'clock in the morning, pitch black, and it was like "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM" about ten times. And that scared me because, I thought, if that ghost can hit the wall like that, he could hit me. And that's the only time, I was really afraid." The Fairmont Hotel Ghost Tour is a popular activity for visitors to Deadwood, and it's a great way to experience the town's rich and haunted history. The tour guides are knowledgeable and passionate about the hotel's history and the area. They are sure to keep you entertained as they share the stories and legends of the Fairmont Hotel and its ghostly residents. So, whether you believe in ghosts or not, there's no denying that Deadwood, South Dakota, is a town with a rich and colourful history, and it's a place that is steeped in mystery and intrigue. But what I love about Deadwood is that it's not just a place of the past; it's a thriving community with a bright future. The town has been able to preserve its history while also adapting to the changing times, and it's a great example of how a community can come together to celebrate its heritage while also moving forward. MOUNT RUSHMORE I drove about an hour south to Mount Rushmore, a famous landmark in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It is a massive sculpture that features the faces of four American Presidents carved into the side of a granite mountain: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Historian Doane Robinson first proposed the idea for Mount Rushmore in the 1920s to attract tourists to South Dakota. In 1927, sculptor Gutzon Borglum was commissioned to carve the faces of the four presidents, and work on the project began in October of that year. It was completed in 1941, after over a decade of work. As you approach this massive sculpture, you can't help but feel a sense of awe. The sheer scale of it is mind-boggling, with the precision of the carving and the sheer determination and hard work that went into this project. To think that this massive carving was created by hand, using only dynamite and chisels, it's just unbelievable.  Today, Mount Rushmore is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, attracting millions of visitors from around the world each year. It is considered a symbol of American democracy and a tribute to the country's rich history. The sculpture also represents the values and ideals that have defined the nation, such as freedom, democracy, and patriotism. In addition to the carving of the four presidents, Mount Rushmore is surrounded by a National Memorial Park that features trails, scenic overlooks, and a visitor center with exhibits about the site's history and the presidents depicted. Visitors can also attend a lighting ceremony in the evening, where the faces of the presidents are illuminated in a patriotic display. THE CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL I know; I rolled that out pretty thick, didn't I? "A symbol to the land of the free and the home of the brave" and all of that. And even before it was finished, some felt that the Mount Rushmore project wasn't that brilliant an idea – when you consider how the land of the free and the home of the brave was stolen from the Native Americans. And just half an hour's drive from Mount Rushmore, another massive rock carving is in progress. So, I drove out to see that one too.  The Crazy Horse Memorial is a monumental sculpture in the Black Hills of South Dakota and dedicated to the Native American warrior Crazy Horse. It is considered to be one of the largest sculptures in the world. The sculpture is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain, and when completed, we will see Crazy Horse mounted on a horse with his arm outstretched, pointing to his people's land. The Crazy Horse Memorial was commissioned in the 1940s by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear as a response to the Mount Rushmore project, which he felt was a desecration of sacred land. And The sculpture is being carved by Polish Sculptor, Korczak Ziolkowski and now his family (as he passed away in 1982). He started working on it since 1948, and now, about 75 years later – it is still a work in progress. The Crazy Horse Memorial was envisioned as a way to honor and celebrate Native American culture and history, and to provide a counterpoint to Mount Rushmore. While the two monuments are located relatively close, they have different themes and messages. The two monuments serve as reminders of the complex and often fraught history of the region and the ongoing efforts to reconcile and recognize the diverse cultural perspectives and contributions that have shaped it. BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK The next day, I was heading southeast to Nebraska and passed through Badlands National Park. It's some of the most unique and dramatic landscapes I've ever seen, located in southwestern South Dakota. Badlands is known for its rugged terrain and striking rock formations that consist of layered rock and deep canyons. The landscape is characterized by jagged cliffs, steep mesas, and towering spires formed from sedimentary rock and erosive forces over millions of years. The terrain is barren and arid, with sparse vegetation and a mix of sagebrush, grasses, and cacti. The predominant colors in the landscape are shades of brown and orange, with streaks of green along the intermittent streams. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bison, pronghorns, bighorn sheep, and coyotes. Overall, the Badlands is a stunning and unique natural wonder, and visiting the park is an awe-inspiring experience that is not to be missed. So, I'm glad it was on my way to Nebraska. NEXT STOP NEBRASKA In the next episode, I get to have a farm stay in the rural part of Nebraska. Here, I stay with a family, Mary Lou, John, and their grown-up son, Chris, who take me out on the field checking on their cattle. And then Mary Lou will tell me a story of her Danish ancestor who immigrated from my home country, Denmark when she was just a young girl.  All that, and much more in the next episode of The Radio Vagabond. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.  POEM WRITTEN BY AN AI In South Dakota's Badlands wild,  Palle Bo wandered like a child,  Amazed by landscapes, bold and new,  That stretched out far, and wide, and blue. He heard of Hickok, famed and brave,  Who met his end in a saloon's enclave,  And of Calamity Jane, maybe his wife,  Whose spirit lingers, still to life. At Deadwood, George from the Fairmount Hotel,  Shared tales of ghostly guests as well,  And Palle, with wonder in his heart,  Felt the thrill of the Wild West start. But beyond the tales of days gone by,  Loomed the faces, carved up high,  Of four great presidents, proud and true,  Gazing out over the Badlands, too. With awe and wonder, Palle took it in,  And felt his heart and soul begin,  To truly understand this land,  And all the stories, grand and grand. Now, with sights still fresh in mind,  Palle ventures forth to find,  The farms of Nebraska, far and wide,  Where new adventures yet abide.

Now, with sights still fresh in mind,  Palle ventures forth to find,  The farms of Nebraska, far and wide,  Where new adventures yet abide.

"I see as much misery outta them movin' to justify their selves as them that set out to do harm.""Deep Water" shows us how trouble and danger have taken hold of life in Deadwood. People like Al Swearengen were among the first to arrive in the settlement and they established the tone and decorum for people arriving afterward. Addiction drives many of our characters to actions they regret yet can't escape. The pursuit of righteous justice might end up creating more despair. And many people just can't stop talking to Al. In this episode of "Something Pretty", Wes and Clay discuss "Deep Water" because it's close, and cocksuckers like us always go for the easiest chance. Plus! The guys talk about Jane's backstory, master negotiator Seth Bullock, and hanging around when you should leave.Links:Support "Something Pretty" on PatreonListen to our other podcastsYouTubeJoin our DiscordSupplemental Reading:The Deadwood Bible: A Lie Agreed UponDeadwood: Stories of the Black HillsDeadwood: The Golden YearsReading Deadwood: A Western to Swear ByLife's WorkTheme Song: Western ShowDown by HoliznaCC0 is licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License.

"I'm executin' sentence now and he's hangin' under color of law."In the pilot of "Deadwood", a variety of interesting characters feel a pull towards the settlement of Deadwood, an illegal gold rush camp in Indian territory that exists outside the confines of the United States. Drawn towards the allure of easy wealth, characters like Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen start to build a civilization from the piss-filled mud of the Dakota Territory atop a foundation of murdering, whoring and robbing.David Milch's "Deadwood" is a television series that examines the "lies agreed upon" that enable the creation of a functioning society from the disparate individual strands of humanity. The pilot episode, directed by Walter Hill, introduces several key themes, a handful of memorable characters, and some unusual cinematography that might not be around too much longer.In this episode of "Something Pretty", Wes and Clay discuss the pilot episode, "Deadwood" and how the show handles introducing so many unique voices.

Back after a bit of a break Krys leads off strong with tales of McKinney Texas and some of it's haunted hot spots. Starting with Buckner Cemetery aka O'Brien Cemetery, this place of burial was the spot of public executions and as well as a marketplace during said executions. The ghost of an indigenous person is said to haunt the spot. Next up the Celt Irish Pub and it's famous poker playing outlaw Jesse James. This building has been through different stages and has some permanent residents. Chestnut Square Historic Village is our last stop in McKinney and this shows off the way of life from 1854-1920. This place has some of Krys's favorite ghosts, kid ghosts. Tori comes in second with the tale of Deadwood, South Dakota. This wild west frontier town is in an area that proves once again, white people suck. This town was home to such notable figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, and Al Swearengen. These folks seem to be staying around for much longer than mortal years. Finishing up we have Mt. Moriah Cemetery because really?

Seth Bullock arrived in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, on this date in 1876. Bullock's history as Deadwood Sheriff and U.S. Marshal was featured in the HBO television series, "Deadwood," but his lasting legacy on Dakota Territory is much more legendary than his portrayal in the television show.

When it rains it pours and in the case of Walnut Grove...it's been raining for TWO months.  Mr. Edwards returns to town after losing work in Mankato and mentions how the entire state is underwater.  However, he does have a plan.  His plan involves the Ingallas and the Edwards/Snider/Sanderson troupe to leave Walnut Grove and head East into the Dakota territory to pan for Gold.  The 400-mile trip leads them to Deadwood at which point they promptly leave and travel 50 more miles to arrive in Newton and then 5 miles beyond that to arrive at Shadow Creek.  Along the way we meet the Griffin and Delano families who are more than happy to assist and join the caravan on their way to Newton.  Once claims are...clamied it's a little lite hearted time as things are getting situated.  In this time Laura and Carl meet an old Hermit, Zachariah, who lives along the banks of Shadow creek.  However, when he hears that people are coming into the area to start looking for gold, Zachariah has some wisdom to share on the affects gold can have on people.  He is speaking from experience.  Will we ever see a map on LHOTP that shows the real location of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota?  Does a covered wagon have really good sound insulation that it can drown out the sound of rainfall?  Do you think that Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen were in Deadwood the same times the Ingallas and Edwards/Snider/Sanderson passed through?  

This week The TV Boys sit down to discuss one of the best lawmen and paper salesmen in all of TV history.

Join us as we take you on a trip into the old western town of Deadwood South Dakota & explore the Haunted Bullock Hotel as well as the  Haunted Brothel, known as the Fairmont Hotel.

Happy Spooky Wednesday everyone! This week, Kala talks about Smallett's Cave near Ava, MO that is allegedly home to the spirit of a headless cobbler that still roams the roads around the cave. But is it really a spirit, or is it something else? Brittany tells us about the historic Bullock Hotel in Deadwood, SD where Seth Bullock is said to still haunt the halls. Kala is excited to learn all about this man and his impressive mustache but is less excited to learn that he looks nothing like Timothy Olyphant. BONUS: Kala shares her theories about ghost dinosaurs, and Brittany has a dream come true through Twitter. This episode is sponsored by Earth Rider Brewery in Superior, WI.

A few weeks ago, Vox critic-at-large Emily VanDerWerff and film critic Alissa Wilkinson shared their favorite movies. This week they're back with their favorite shows: The Simpsons on Disney Plus (Emily) This classic has been on the air since 1989. Not all the jokes will fly today, but looking back on the comedy of the 1990s, The Simpsons seems to have aged the best. Since it's animated and the characters never age, it can continually comment on American life. And it will only take 258 days to watch all 695 episodes! The Comeback on HBO Max (Alissa) There are so many good reasons to watch this meta-comedy co-created by Lisa Kudrow (who also stars in it) and Michael Patrick King, the executive producer of Sex and the City. It's funny and binge-able. It cleverly skewers the kind of sexism that was present on the set of sitcoms in the 1990s. And although it's not necessarily cheerful, it has a lot of heart. You'll see new jokes and funny bits with each re-watch. There are 21 episodes in all, each lasting between 25 and 55 minutes. Deadwood on HBO Max (Emily) Set in the town of Deadwood, South Dakota, this series follows the town's new sheriff Seth Bullock, played by Timothy Olyphant. He's not trying to be law enforcement. He just wants to have a quiet life opening a hardware store. Deadwood is a Western, yes, but it explores the ways in which we construct civilization and societies are born — the ways America was born. There's tension between the need for individuality and the need for community. And this is one of best shows at believably tracing a really terrible person's movement toward getting involved with his community. There are three seasons and a wrap-up movie. You can watch all in around 35 hours. High Maintenance on HBO Max (Alissa) At face value, this is a show about buying weed. But it's really about all the different characters that the weed dealer — the connecting thread of each episode — comes into contact with. We meet people from all walks of life who have weird jobs, weird problems, weird fetishes, weird predicaments. You won't get long, drawn-out character arcs with this show, just little snippets of people's lives. Every episode is delightful. There are 34 in all, and there's even one that's entirely from the perspective of a (very good) dog. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I sat down with Seth Bullock and got high as fuck. A comedian, father and businessman Bullock and I discussed comedy, the Top 5 freshest Rappers, Top 5 best Rapper Chain, Transgendered folks and a few other topics. It's definitely some funny here.

In the premiere episode of SPORTS + LIFE + BALANCE, John Moffet is joined by actor and producer Timothy Olyphant. You probably know him as Seth Bullock in Deadwood, Raylan Givens on Justified, Cobb Vanth from The Mandalorian, or another iconic character on TV. But long before he became a bonafide Hollywood star, Timothy was a Division 1 athlete at USC.

You may recognize Seth Bullock if you've seen HBO's Deadwood. Seth, like most of the characters on the show, was a real-life person. But he was so much more than JUST the sheriff of Deadwood. He was a business man. Helped create Yellowstone National Park. Was a member of Montana's territorial senate at an extremely young age. BFF's with Teddy Roosevelt. Rancher, City Founder, and at damn near 80 years of age volunteered to serve in World War 1. Join me as we delve deep into Seth Bullock on this holy shit, I now feel like a lazy unmotivated piece of shit episode of Bloody Beaver Podcast.

Deadwood - David Milch: The Meaning of Endings We've been working quite some time to get to this place. On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to continue our discussion of - arguably - the greatest series ever produced for television, David Milch's Deadwood. After a cancelled fourth season, and two two-hour movies that were never made, Milch was finally able to give his series the send-off that it has always deserved. On this episode we discuss the success in restarting this major work, the full arc of such characters as Al Swearengen, Seth Bullock, Alma Garret, The Whore Trixie, Sol Star, Charlie Utter, and so many more, as well as  the performances that brought these characters to life. This was a great time. Two friends sitting down to discuss a story that has consumed - at least one - of our lives. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Thank You So Much for your continued support.

In "Tell Your God to Ready for Blood," director Mark Tinker revels in Deadwood's brewing conflict between George Hearst, Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen. Esther and Søren discuss. The post Hoopleheads: Episode 25 “Tell Your God to Ready for Blood” appeared first on Movie Fail.

"Deadwood" is back, and as Al Swearengen would say, it's about bleeping time. The show that died too young is now a film, and the return trip in "Deadwood: The Movie" — set some 10 years later — gets down to unfinished business in the once lawless town in South Dakota. On this week's show, host Mark Olsen (@IndieFocus) talks with Ian McShane, the actor who brought the corrupt, foul-mouthed Al Swearengen to life, as well as the director, Daniel Minahan, who captured the now older and wiser characters meeting up again in a Deadwood poised on the edge of legitimacy.Diehard fans are sure to be pleased, especially since the series was unceremoniously canceled in 2006, leaving so many loose ends — and in spite of its critical acclaim. But Minahan also told Olsen that he made a film with an eye towards drawing newcomers to the show's original three seasons. McShane says it wasn't a challenge to reprise his role - Swearengen is the kind of character people don't forget.

Fifteen months later, we conclude the Deadwood RPG campaign "Nature Abhors" in a spectacularly violent fashion. (Cy Tolliver's corpse as an I.E.D.? Yes, of course, naturally, why not.)

Episodio 10 : Mister Wu Director Daniel Minahan Casting Jeffrey Jones (A.W. Merrick), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs), Larry Cedar (Leon) Sinopsis Es la hora del desayuno en un Deadwood cada vez más repleto de gente, y Seth Bullock está teniendo problemas para llevar a cabo su trabajo como comisario de salud. "¿En qué estaba pensando cuando me ofrecí para el puesto?" pregunta a Sol. En su ida hacia el Grand Central para comer, Bullock deja caer un par de sus ideas para mejorar la ciudad a E. B. Farnum, pero el falso alcalde es reacio a invertir el dinero de los impuestos en todo aquello que no sea sobornar a magistrados. Un enojado Sr. Wu causa un alboroto al entrar en La Gema y pedir ver a Swearengen; Al invita al hombre a su oficina. Haciendo dibujos en pedazo de papel, Wu explica furiosamente que dos "malditos blancos" mataron a su mensajero y robaron un envío de opio –parte del cual estaba destinado para Swearengen. Al despide a Wu a su manera por la puerta de atrás, y llama a Dority para que asuste a Jimmy Irons por haber robado la droga. Bullock, Star, y Merrick el periodista comparten su desayuno en el Grand Central. Bullock da a Merrick una carta al director en un esfuerzo por conseguir apoyo para sus propuestas de la salud. Más tarde, mientras los tres pasean con Charlie Utter, Merrick propone la formación del primer club de Deadwood pero la idea cae en saco roto.

Episodio 8 : Los niños sufren Guion Elizabeth Sarnoff Casting Jeffrey Jones (A.W. Merrick), Jim Cody Williams (Terrence), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) Sinopsis En la trastienda de La Gema detrás, Swearengen reprime a Dority por perder su cabeza por Flora. También cerca está E. B. Farnum, extremadamente excitado. Éste sugiere asesinar Alma Garret y a Seth Bullock, para llevar a cabo su sueño de conseguir la prospección de la viuda, pero Al y Dority parecen escépticos. Los disparos de celebración los interrumpen, ya que una de las cuadrillas de hombres enviados a por la vacuna de la viruela ha vuelto a la ciudad. "Habrá una gran celebración" informa uno de sus hombres a Swearengen, quien está muy contento con la noticia. Reunido con Farnum, Swearengen le dice a hostelero que con un acuerdo, sus fortunas aumentarían, lo único que arruinaría las cosas es "una matanza innecesaria". Él también dice que Bullock será "El perfecto hombre de paja" para el próspero futuro de Deadwood. Una pálida Flora llega al Bella Union, diciendo a Joanie que ha visto a un hombre asesinado. Después de un instante, le pregunta a la señora si puede permanecer con ella hasta la hora de levantarse. Joanie le dice que sí, y acaba confortando a la muchacha toda la noche. Con Andy Cramed guardando el orden, los ciudadanos se reúnen frente al almacén de Bullock para recibir la vacuna de la viruela. Bullock se encuentra con Alma Garret y la niña de los Metz en la cola, y la viuda le explica que ha decidido "por razones que no le incumben" regresar con la niña a Nueva York. También ha decidido aceptar la oferta de Farnum por su prospección. Bullock, sin embargo, lo rechaza, arguyendo que él prometió a Wild Bill mantener la prospección. Trixie, mientras tanto, ha desaparecido desde su discusión con Alma, y aunque Swearengen ha enviado a gente a buscarla, es el doctor Cochran quien la encuentra inconsciente en el suelo de su oficina con una mano llena de opio.

Episodio 6 : Plaga Director Davis Guggenheim Guion Malcolm MacRury Casting Jeffrey Jones (A.W. Merrick), Juddson Keith Linn (Milliner), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) Sinopsis Siguiendo el rastro del asesino Cat McCall, Seth Bullock cae en una emboscada. Aunque consigue matar al indio que le ha atacado, Bullock es herido y cae inconsciente. Mientras, en Deadwood, otra persona cae enferma en La Gema, mostrando los mismos síntomas de Andy Cramed. Las noticias que siguen son peores cuando Joey, el mensajero de Tolliver, regresa al Bella Union sin haber llegado a Nebraska. Él también ha caído enfermo y no ha conseguido traer la vacuna de la viruela. El doctor Cochran habla con Swearengen sobre el brote, pero deciden mantener la noticia en silencio por el momento. La viruela no es la única cosa en la mente de Swearengen; Aún continúa determinado a robar la prospección de oro de Alma Garret. Envía a Farnum a espiar a la viuda para descubrir si Trixie ha tenido éxito en reengancharla en la droga, pero Farnum regresa e informa a Al que no ha consumido la droga. Al se enfrenta a Trixie y le deja claro que debe drogar a la viuda. Sabiendo que Swearengen es peligroso, Trixie le dice a Alma que finja una intoxicación en cuanto aparezca Farnum. Alma entiende, y actuando perfectamente, convence a Farnum, que avisa a Al y éste queda satisfecho. Calamity Jane vuelve a Deadwood, y se dirige directamente a la oficina de Cochran para conseguir información sobre la muchacha de los Metz. El doctor no desea hablar con Jane, pero se sorprende cuando ella le dice que sabe lo de la viruela. Jane explica que ha estado cuidando a Cramed, y Cochran se da cuenta de que ella puede ser inmune a la enfermedad. A pesar del número creciente de casos de viruela, el negocio funciona como de costumbre en el Bella Unión, donde Ellsworth está enganchado al juego. La tensión entre Tolliver y Joanie Stubbs crece, y cuando ella demuestra atracción hacia Ellsworth, el jefe le deja claro que ha de mejorar su trabajo en el Unión o le dará una buena razón para arrepentirse de ello.

Historical archaeologist Jerry Bryant, Research Curator at Deadwood's Adams Museum & House, takes Real Deadwood Podcast host Paul Dennis on a tour of some of Deadwood's historic trails in his Yamaha Rhino four-wheel-drive ATV, nicknamed the Doodlebug. Starting in Mt. Moriah Cemetery, they drive to the very top to visit the grave of Seth Bullock and his wife. Then they drive down the back of Mt. Moriah to a site that was severely burned during the Grizzly Gulch fire of 2002, which came dangerously close to devastating the town of Deadwood. After a stop at a scenic overlook, they explore the rail bed of the first trains to come into Deadwood in the 1880s.
