The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.11: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
21/11/2023 Duration: 01h11minIt's 2018 and the Coen Brothers continue their impressive pedigree with a six-story anthology of tales from classic Westerns. If anything could prepare you to watch this, it would be a year of studying cowboy films.

The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.10: 3:10 To Yuma
08/10/2023 Duration: 01h22minIt's 2007 and Christian Bale is on a desperate mission to make Russell Crowe chuff off on the train to Yuma. Though not a massive box-office success, the fact that a Western even got made in the doldrums of the 2000s is worth a tip of the Stetson.

The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.8: Young Guns
22/08/2023 Duration: 01h20minIt's 1988 and the decade has not been kind to the Western genre.

Opinions are divided with this one, but we keep spitting facts and tobacco juice until dust settles.

A Very Special Crombies: Oppenheimer
04/08/2023 Duration: 01h34minA film so momentous that we have broken the tradition of reviewing long-buried films and turned our gaze to Christopher Nolan's epic biopic, starring Cillian Murphy and every other actor drawing breath. But what did we make of such a universally-acclaimed film? Could it live up to the hype? And what exactly is a helium bomb?
-
The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.7: The Outlaw Josey Wales
27/07/2023 Duration: 01h13minIt's 1976, a decade not known for its Westerns. Clint Eastwood took the helm as actor-director and created this classic and surprisingly moving tale. Sadly, Wales does not feature anywhere in it. But there's plenty of tobacco juice. Ach y fi.

15/06/2023 Duration: 01h18minIt's 1964, and we treat ourselves to a big portion of the Spaghetti Western that started them all: Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood in his iconic laconic role. The other two films in the Dollars trilogy also get a viewing, as the genre travels so far West, it circles the globe, and lands in southern Europe, via Japan.

The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.5: The Magnificent Seven
13/05/2023 Duration: 01h28minWe gallop into the 1960s with this star-stuffed cast of Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn, Horst Buchholz and Eli Wallach. The accents are all over the place with this one, and that's just James and Huw reviewing it.

Our boys are trekking into perilous ground here, as they cast a critical eye over 'one of the greatest and most influential films ever made'. Will they lose their trail? That'll be the day.
-
The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.3: High Noon
09/03/2023 Duration: 01h08minIt's 1952 and we mosey on down to watch one of the true classics of the Western genre - Gary Cooper confronts his fate at High Noon! For a straightforward story, there's a lot going on in this one. And for such a renowned film, both James and Huw had their expectations thoroughly confounded.
-
The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 3.2: My Darling Clementine
10/02/2023 Duration: 01h16minIt's 1946 and we continue our trek through the Westerns. Once again, John Ford is at the helm, with Henry Fonda and Victor Mature as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday.

James has set himself a colossal challenge and Huw is broadcasting from inside an empty can of frijol beans.
