Episode 808: The Wild Bunch (1969)

Rob St. Mary and Josh Hadley join Mike for The Wild Bunch (1969), Sam Peckinpah's blood-soaked western about Pike Bishop (William Holden) and his aging outlaws chasing one last job against Robert Ryan's bounty hunter (and former member of the gang). When one of their own, Angel, is taken by Mexican warlord Mapache (Emilio Fernandez), the gang has to decide if they're going to abandon or rescue their comrade.

We have a plethora of interviews for this one with actress Lilia Castillo, actor Alfonso Arau (Herrera), screenwriter Walon Green, Kathryn Jones, author of Tall in the Saddle: The Life of Ben Johnson, Hollywood's Real Cowboy and Bill Mesce, author of The Wild Bunch: The American Classic That Changed Westerns Forever.
