No solo intro from yours truly since there is a whole lotta
ground to cover. Supporting Characters host Bill Ackerman returns
once again to talk about a controversial, almost mythological
figure in film history, the one and only Sam
Peckinpah. We cover nearly his entire filmography from
beginning to end touching on classics such as RIDE THE HIGH
COUNTRY, THE WILD BUNCH, PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID, but we do
have very strong feelings about STRAW DOGS, BRING ME THE HEAD OF
ALFREDO GARCIA, and so much more! Feel free to send me an
email with your thoughts on Peckinpah and what you consider to be
your favorites as well!
