Saddle up, Reel fans—Amanda Stephens and Missy Washam are heading back to Gilley’s for a special reprise of Urban Cowboy! In this re-release of one of their earliest episodes, the sisters revisit the 1980 film that made mechanical bulls and honky-tonks a cultural sensation.
With John Travolta and Debra Winger leading the way, Urban Cowboy gave us love, heartbreak, country hits, and a whole lot of drama. Amanda and Missy break it all down scene by scene, with fun facts, behind-the-scenes trivia, and reflections on why this film still holds its place in 80s movie history.
Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic violence as portrayed in the film. Please listen with care.
If you missed it the first time—or just want another ride—this toe-tappin’ trip to Gilley’s is worth every second.
