Join us as we dive into the world of Jesse James and his notorious gang in this episode of our podcast. We discuss the 2007 film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which depicts the final days of Jesse James as he descends into aimless ennui and murderous paranoia, as well as the rise and fall of Robert Ford, a sycophantic fanboy of James’s desperate to make a name for himself. We explore how this film portrays these characters and their relationships with each other, and how it compares to other films about Jesse James and his gang.
*Spoiler Warning* As a general warning we discuss the film in detail and often will comment on scenes or aspects of the film that could spoil it for a listener who has not seen the film we are discussing.
