Gary celebrated his birthday in August by programming the entire month of films for the podcast, so it only stands to reason that Justin would get to do the same for his birth month of November. All month long, we'll be showcasing films that he's personally chosen, all films he's wanted to talk about on the show for a long time, but has never had the chance...until now!

This week, we're covering a genre that, somehow, we've never touched on before on the show: the western. Specifically, the Spaghetti Western.

And we figured, if we're going to cover a Spaghetti Western, we should cover a film by the director who defined the genre, the maestro Sergio Leone

Although his Man With No Name Trilogy were the films that solidified the rules of what made a Spaghetti Western, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968) is considered by many to be the apex of the subgenere, one of Leone's best films and one of the greatest westerns of all time.

We'll track its history in this episode, discuss its creation, and try to decide if it's a film that should be a part of the Psychotronic Canon.

That last part is up to you! Let us know what you think by voting in our poll!
