“Boy, I got vision… and the rest of the world wears bifocals.” Join Ian, Liam & Kev for our 330th episode as we saddle up, head for Bolivia (Megs has headed back to America early), and ride into one of the most charming, melancholy, and effortlessly watchable westerns ever made with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). It's outlaws, bicycles, and impossible charisma this week as we ask whether two of cinema's coolest men were ever really built for the world they lived in. This week we discuss: Paul Newman and Robert Redford's legendary chemistry — playful, effortless, and endlessly quotable. Is this one of the greatest screen pairings of all time? The tone — western, comedy, tragedy, anti-western. How does the film balance charm with the creeping inevitability of its ending? Newman's Butch Cassidy — talkative, inventive, and always thinking three steps ahead. Is he a genius… or simply delaying reality? Redford's Sundance Kid — cool, lethal, and increasingly aware the world is changing around him. Ian breaks down the film's structure — episodic storytelling, tonal pivots, and why the pacing feels so modern for 1969 - but does it rob us with the ending Liam questions the mythology of outlaws — are Butch and Sundance rebels, romantics, or simply criminals we've chosen to like? Kev dives into the cinematography and score — sweeping landscapes, freeze frames, and Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head somehow working against all odds. Liam educates us all on the Old West and references about 25 other Westerns in the process The pursuit — who are those guys, and why does the film turn a chase into existential dread? Katharine Ross as Etta Place — underwritten love interest or essential emotional grounding? There's a cameo in this film that you'll never see coming - we didn't The ending — iconic, tragic, and endlessly imitated. Does freezing the moment make it more powerful? The “show vs tell” balance — how much does the film rely on charm and implication rather than explicit emotional beats? And finally, whether Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the coolest films ever made.

BARD annotation The gunfighters: how Texas made the West wild DB129769 Author: Burrough, Bryan Reading Time: 12 hours, 53 minutes Read by: Fred Sanders Subjects: U.S. History, True Crime, Social Sciences “The “Wild West” gunfighter is such a stock figure in our popular culture that some dismiss it all as a corny myth, more a product of dime novels and B movies than a genuinely important American history. In fact, as Bryan Burrough shows us in his dazzling and fast-paced new book, there’s much more below the surface. For three decades at the end of the 1800s, a big swath of the American West was a crucible of change, with the highest murder rate per capita in American history. The reasons behind this boil down to one word: Texas. Texas was born in violence, on two fronts, with Mexico to the south and the Comanche to the north. The Colt revolver first caught on with the Texas Rangers. Southern dueling culture transformed into something wilder and less organized in the Lone Star State. The collapse of the Confederacy and the presence of a thin veneer of Northern occupiers turned the heat up further. And the explosion in the cattle business after the war took that violence and pumped it out from Texas across the whole of the West. The stampede of longhorn cattle brought with it an assortment of rustlers, hustlers, gamblers, and freelance lawmen who carried a trigger-happy honor culture into a widening gyre, a veritable blood meridian. When the first newspapermen and audiences discovered what good copy this all was, the flywheel of mythmaking started spinning. It’s never stopped. The Gunfighters brilliantly sifts the lies from the truth, giving both elements their due. And the truth is sufficiently wild for any but the most unhinged tastes. All the legendary figures are here, and their escapades are told with great flair-good, bad, and ugly. Like all great stories, this one has a rousing end-as the railroads and the settlers close off the open spaces for good, the last of the breed, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, really do get on a boat for South America, ending their era in a blaze of glory. Burrough knits these histories together into something much deeper and more provocative than simply the sum of its parts. To understand the truth of the Wild West is to understand a crucial dimension of the American story.”– Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook. New York : Penguin Random House, 2025.

Fifty years ago, All the President's Men was released, starring Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein. The movie, written for the screen by William Goldman, dramatizes the research, legwork, and reporting done by The Washington Post's Woodward and Bernstein who exposed the Watergate scandal, shedding light on the corruption that stemmed from President Richard M. Nixon's Committee to Re-Elect the President, known as CREEP. In the movie, released in April 1976, Woodward and Bernstein come across as dedicated, scrappy, and fearless, at times they're even chummy. Designer, author, and teacher Michael Bierut praises William Goldman's screenwriting craft, not only in All the President's Men but also in another Goldman buddy movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid which starred Robert Redford alongside Paul Newman. We also discuss Zodiac, The Post, The Social Network, and movies by Charles and Ray Eames. This episode appeared on Season 1 of the show in 2024.-Michael Bierut graduated from the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning in 1980 with highest honors. He worked at the office of Lella and Massimo Vignelli for a decade. In 1990, Bierut became a partner in the New York office of Pentagram designing for Mastercard, Slack, Verizon, Benetton, Disney, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, among a long list of other clients. He designed the “H” logo during Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign and presidential run, and also the typographic inscription for the Obama Presidential Center. Beginning in 2024, he shifted into an alternate role at Pentagram, an advisory role, titled Consulting Partner on his LinkedIn. Bierut has earned numerous accolades, was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale in 1989, received the AIGA Medal, and won the Design Mind category of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of the amazing actor, producer, director, politcal activist and founder of the Sundance Film Festival... Robert Redford! Though born in Santa Monica, California on August 18th, 1936, this future star often spent his summers with his grandfather in Austin, Texas. Often contributing his time there to being the catalyst for his environmentalist activism and general love of nature. After many wild and traumatic events during his childhood, Redford went to the University of Colorado Boulder to play baseball. Opting to have his educational track be in the arts. However, a recurring problem with alcohol led to this budding artist losing his scholarship, forcing him to leave school entirely. Nevertheless, Redford made the most of his time away from university, choosing to study painting in Europe. Specifically that of France, Spain, and Italy. When he eventually went back to school, Redford was quickly disparged by one of his painting professors. This caused him to become unsure of his commitment to art. However, he used these feelings of uncertainity and set his sights on set design, this ultimately becoming the catalyst to his eventual career in acting. By around 1959, Redford would play a small role in the play, Tall Story (1959), that he would eventually reprise in a movie adaption in 1960--- this being his film debut. From there Redford would go onto being a part of many films such as  War Hunt (1962) and Inside Daisy Clover (1965), Barefoot in the Park (1967), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), Downhill Racer (1969), Jeremiah Johnson (1972), The Candidate (1972) and The Sting (1973), with the last earning him an Academy Award nomination. In his lifetime, Redford would go onto gain many nominations for his work as an actor and director! To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

Last year we lost several legends of the silver screen. One of the biggest ones was Robert Redford. For over five decades the man dazzled audiences both in front of and behind the camera. Narrowing the selection down to one film was difficult, we could spend a whole year doing a deep dive of his filmography, but we settled on what is maybe his most iconic role in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This film marked the first pairing of him and Paul Newman, as well as director George Roy Hill. Often cited as one of the greatest westerns of all time, how does this embody not only the genre, but Redford's career as a whole? Let's discuss.

Hoje rola aqui um western menos convencional, carregado de subversão e boa disposição, com dois gigantescos icons do cinema americano.

Harry and Meghan made a Sundance appearance for Cookie Queens, the Girl Scout documentary they executive produced, but Page Six reported noticeable empty seats in the reserved section and critics questioned the optics of a festival outing so soon after Harry's privacy arguments in court. Meghan spoke warmly about Girl Scouts, telling the crowd “Nothing that little cookies and coffee can't help,” and later said of the organisation that it “embeds such great values from the get go.”We also have Harry's pointed response to President Trump's remarks about NATO troops in Afghanistan, with Harry saying, “Allies answered that call,” and noting, “The United Kingdom alone had 457 service personnel killed.” Plus: London's annual King Charles the First commemoration march, and a TikTok “new luxury” trend piece that somehow turns royal hobbies into the latest status symbol.Palace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of an extremely talented musical genius who wrote some of the most iconic and enduring songs of the 20th century... Burt Baharach! Born in Kansas City, Missouri on May 12th, 1928, Burt seemed to be destined for greatness. Encouraged by his amateur painter and songwriting mother, Burt took up practicing piano, drums, and the cello during his childhood. Using his musical gift, Bacharach continued his education at McGill University in Montreal, Mannes School of Music, and the Musica Academy of the West studying all kinds of music. At the age of 28, he was reccomended to Marlene Dietrich (fun fact: the star our logo is modeled after!) by Peter Matz as she needed an arranger and condutor for her nightclub shows. After becoming her part-time musical director, Baharach and Dietrich toured worldwide together, on and off, until the early 1960s. Eventually this musical genius met Hal David and Dionne Warwick. This trio would make songs that would sell over 12 million copies and have 39 consecutive chart hits. Some of those songs being "Anyone Who Had a Heart" (1963), "Walk On By" (1964), "Message to Michael" (1966), "I Say a Little Prayer" (1967), "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" (1968), "This Girl's in Love with You" (1969) and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (1969). Eventually this composer moved towards creating scores for film such Casino Royale (1967) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), which won them a Academy Award, an Oscar, and a Grammy for best score. In his lifetime, Burt would go onto to creating many wonderful songs, gain many nominations, and win many awards for his absolutely outstanding music.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

 International Law in TattersShould we be surprised by the decision of President Trump to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores? Should we be shocked by his claim that the US will now administer Venezuela or that US Oil companies will manage Venezuela's huge oil reserves? And what of his threats against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Greenland, Nigeria and others?The historical reality is that we have seen all of this before. The most brazen example this century was the invasion of Iraq in 2003, under the pretext of the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. The truth then was that US and British interests were primarily concerned with the control of Iraq's oil. The result was a million Iraqi dead and a region torn apart by the subsequent political instability. International law was flagrantly broken. Torture and a brutal occupation followed. The Fellow in the Big PictureOver the Christmas break I watched more television than I do at any other time. Regular readers will know that I'm more of a radio man. RTE Radio, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió Fáilte, Radio Ulster. I listen to these every day. But I like westerns. And there is always a ton of westerns to be seen on television over the Christmas period. Some are old ones featuring Audie Murphy, Gene Audrey, Alan Ladd, John Wayne, Maureen O Hara and the likes.  TG4 usually has a good selection of these.They also show a lot of movies featuring Clint Eastwood. I like his films.  And not just the westerns. Although he first came to our attention in Ballymurphy with Rawhide. Unforgiven was the film of choice this Nollaig with Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, all in starring roles. And it was followed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  Irish government should be ashamed2026 began for the people of the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Occupied Territories with more Israeli attacks by land and sea and air; winter storms that have added to the enormous hardship of people trying to survive in flimsy tents; and the denial of appropriate humanitarian aid.2025 also ended with Israel having killed nearly half of all those journalists killed last year. Reporters Without Borders recorded that 29 reporters were killed by Israeli forces making Israel “the worst enemy of journalists.” 

We bid a fond farewell to the legendary actor, director, producer, humanitarian, activist, and cultivator of emerging talent with a program of films from the period in which Robert Redford came into his fullest self. Starting with the pivitol year of 1969, when he made Downhill Racer and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, through the early '80s when he made his astonishing directorial debut, Ordinary People, and set the image for his future on screen with The Natural. Recalling many stories and anecdotes we pay tribute to one of the biggest icons of the movies at the end of a year that saw the passing of far too many cinema greats. 

Lee & Daniel are back on some Redford this week (as well as a return to George Roy Hill and William Goldman!) with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), also starring Paul Newman and Katharine Ross. Poly triads, Western revisionism, and bad white boy Spanish are all things brought up this time around. The hosts also talk a bit about what they've watched as of late. Why not saddle up with us and flee to Bolivia?

Happiest of Thanksgivings, Vintage Sand fans, and welcome to Episode 63, our tribute to the incomparable and quietly brilliant Robert Redford. Consider this. If all the Sundance Kid had given us was a series of memorable and subtly complex performances as an actor in a career spanning half a century, that would have been enough to make him a critically important figure in Hollywood, particularly in that mini-Golden Age of the American New Wave of the 1970's. Had the only thing he given us was two masterpieces ("Ordinary People" and "Quiz Show") and his other often beautiful work as a director, that alone would make him a legend. Had the only thing he done was pave the way for the arrival of nearly every single great American film director of the last four decades through his work as the founder and inspiration behind the Sundance Film Festival, that would make him one of the towering figures in the history of American film. And had he focused his seemingly boundless energies exclusively on the best of social causes, such as climate issues and indigenous rights, in the quiet and unassuming way he did, that would be a cause for a celebration of his greatness. The fact that Robert Redford managed to do all of this and more during his lifetime, and with such an unerring sense of grace, cements his place as a foundational figure of modern American cinema. Team Vintage Sand takes the last line from one of his greatest performances, in 1972's "The Candidate", and uses it as the title of our tribute to him as we ponder the what American film will look like without him: What do we do now?

Pick up your copy now at your local bookstore or visit ⁠⁠noiser.com/books⁠⁠ to learn more. The Private Eye has long been a fixture of popular culture - from Sherlock Holmes, to Philip Marlowe, to Jessica Fletcher. But behind the fictional detectives lies a real figure whose influence shaped the very idea of the private investigator: Allan Pinkerton. After fleeing Scotland for the US under murky circumstances in the mid-1800s, he reinvented himself as a crime fighter and founded America's first detective agency. Soon, his name was everywhere. His agents guarded trains, infiltrated gangs, and uncovered a plot to kill a president.   But how did a poor Scottish immigrant build a private army more powerful than the police? How did his methodologies shape surveillance, and influence the foundations of the FBI? And what happened when his agents went head-to-head with legendary outlaws like Jesse James or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? This is a Short History Of The Pinkerton Detective Agency. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, a historian, and author of Allan Pinkerton, America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.

Our latest conversation begins with a short clip from the incomparable Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as part of a quick tribute to the incomparable Robert Redford, and a whole helluva lot of tidbits that we find interesting before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We've Seen since last time (29:40), TV Talk (1:29:09), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (2:07:28).  Then it's time for an exciting Rocky IV installment of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (2:23:00) before Patrick wows during another What Year Did That Come Out Again? (2:32:07), does an okay job at a PTA themed Tomato Talk (2:34:57), and provides a 2025 Hidden Gem recommendation (2:38:38) before we say goodbye until next time.  Episode highlights include podcast recommendations, book recommendations, a discussion about Waterworld, 1998's Armageddon, Halloween movie and costume choices, the Sphere in Las Vegas, feelings and fears about AI, Guillermo Del Toro's love of monsters, Peter Weir's cinematic exploration of communities, what makes good Star Trek, a defense of Kathryn Bigelow and her latest film - A House of Dynamite, that warm and cozy feeling you get when you decide to stop watching a show you no longer enjoy, movies and shows that are decidedly “of their time”, fan frustration when storytellers ignore previously established rules and timelines in beloved franchises, Amazon's continued Bond buffoonery, and a new hope that Disney will give fans the original, unaltered films they loved (maybe even in theaters?!).  Shout-out to long-time friend of the podcast, Kevin, for this episode's listener feedback.

This week, Big Chief heads into the rough-and-rowdy heart of Fort Worth, Texas, where legends were born and outlaws once ruled the night. Deep in the infamous Hell's Half Acre, he finds himself at Acre Distilling, a distillery that honors the city's wild past and bold spirit. Big Chief sits down with Tony Formby, one of the driving forces behind Acre, to hear how a group of brewers came together to create this award-winning distillery in the shadow of Fort Worth's notorious past. Tony shares the tales of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, who once roamed these streets until a photograph sealed their fate, and how that same spirit of rebellion lives on in every drop of Acre whiskey. On the first half of the show, Big Chief pours Longhaired Jim Bourbon Whiskey and the Longhaired Jim Bourbon Cask Strength, two beautiful, full-bodied expressions inspired by the tough-as-nails lawman "Longhaired Jim" Courtright. These whiskeys carry a firm Texas backbone, bold, gritty, and full of flavor, just like the sheriff himself. In the second half, the journey turns to Acre's Texas Single Malt Whisky and their Texas Smoked Single Malt Whisky, expressions that prove Texas malt can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world's best. The Single Malt, distilled from 100% Texas barley and aged in new charred American oak, brings rich grain character and classic malt sweetness. The Smoked Single Malt takes it a step further, with 40% of its barley smoked over Texas pecan and peach wood, offering a subtle, balanced smokiness reminiscent of old-world Scotch with a Lone Star attitude. From outlaw legends to award-winning spirits, this episode celebrates Fort Worth's wild heart and Acre's dedication to craft, community, and the Texas way of doing whiskey. So pour yourself a dram, kick back, and let Big Chief take you on a ride through history, grit, and Texas pride, because in Hell's Half Acre, the stories are as rich as the whiskey in your glass.  

Episode 433 of Friends Talking Nerdy brings a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Robert Redford. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into the cinematic legacy of the late actor, director, and icon, exploring how his work shaped both Hollywood storytelling and 20th-century American culture. From the buddy brilliance of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting to the political intrigue of All the President's Men and The Candidate, the duo traces Redford's uncanny ability to capture the restless spirit of his time. They also tackle his turns in Jeremiah Johnson, Three Days of the Condor, The Natural, Out of Africa, Indecent Proposal, and even his surprising Marvel role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Equal parts nostalgia and cultural dissection, this episode reminds us why Robert Redford wasn't just a movie star—he was an American art form in motion.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

As a seemingly interminable conflict in Ukraine concludes its 43rd month of ground combat, aerial drone strikes, and stalemate, America's culture war enters a new phase with the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, followed by the suspension of late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel for an on-air comment made in the aftermath of Kirk's murder. GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster discuss the current state of affairs in Ukraine (Sir Niall fresh off a visit to Kyiv), Kirk's murder as a watershed moment in a potential new cycle of political violence, plus whether America has reached a tipping point regarding free speech and government meddling for partisan benefit (our resident “grumpy economist” calling for the elimination of the Federal Communications Commission). Finally, a little sunshine (as in the Sundance Kid): the three fellows offering their favorite Robert Redford movies in honor of the recently deceased (and Scottish?) screen legend.  Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan Renowned for roles in films like “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” Robert Redford won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and numerous other awards over his storied career. But what mattered most to him was independent film.

John discusses the life of legendary actor and director Robert Redford who passed away at the age of 89. He also talks about FBI Director Kash Patel who clashed with the Senate Judiciary Committee, snapping and smirking at Senate Democrats who questioned his leadership and challenged him on the agency's failures. He plays many clips from the heated exchanges. Then, John interviews Garnet Henderson who is an investigative reporter specializing in abortion access, anti-rights disinformation, and other intersections of health, policy, and culture. They talk about a new lawsuit in Texas where a woman claims her boyfriend (a US Marine) got her pregnant and then put 10 abortion pills in her hot chocolate when she refused to have an abortion. Next, he speaks with Matthew Boedy who is a professor in the English department at the University of North Georgia. Targeted by Turning Point USA in 2016 and listed on its infamous “professor watchlist,” Boedy has emerged as one of the foremost experts on Turning Point USA and its founder and CEO Charlie Kirk, exposing its role in Christian nationalism and the threat to democracy it poses. They talk about John's new book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds and Matthew's new book "The Seven Mountains Mandate: Exposing the Dangerous Plan to Christianize America and Destroy Democracy". Then finally, John welcomes back Comedy Daddy Keith Price to chat with the Evil Army of the Night about Kash Patel, Donald Trump, and Robert Redford.

We've been long inspired and touched by Robert Redford's career in film and politics. He was a screen idol who challenged America's status quo. From acting in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor and All The President's Men to directing Ordinary People and the Milagro Beanfield War, he took on roles, and later directing projects, that questioned authority and brought a cultural weight to America's cinematic catalog. His political work included fighting for and supporting environmental and Indigenous rights causes. He was part of documentary projects about Leonard Peltier, John Trudell and climate activist Tim DeChristopher. In his later years, he supported the campaign against the Keystone XL Pipeline and called Trump a "monarchy in disguise." In our latest, we pay tribute to iconic actor, director, environmentalist and activist Robert Redford. Rest in Peace, Sundance!--------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody

Alan Pinkerton is perhaps the most over-achieving barrel-maker who ever lived. After practicing his trade in rural Illinois for a few years in the 1850s, the Scottish immigrant busted up a counterfeiting ring, which got the attention of Chicago’s police department, offering him a job as a detective. From here he worked as an intelligence agent in the Civil War (preventing an assassination attempt on Lincoln’s life), then pursued high-profile outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and protected scabs in the Homestead lockout, for which his private detective agency became notorious. Pinkerton has been an enduring source of fascination since the nineteenth century. But the details of his impact, business empire, and private life have been incomplete. Today’s guest is Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, author of “Allan Pinkerton: America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.” We discuss the accomplishments, contradictions, controversies, and legacies of the founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
