Over the course of the show’s history they’ve riffed a wide variety of cinematic genre.
Are there any you’d like to see return in future seasons?
I recently rewatched THE GUNSLINGER and THE GIRL IN THE GOLD BOOTS. It’s been a while since the show has done a Western or a Delinquent flick. I’d like to see them tackled again if suitably riffable entries are found.
Monochrome Universal monster films are always welcome, but like you I really enjoy the JD films. And I agree that another Western would hit the spot. Also, another of the Russo-Finnish fairytale films, please.
A bad film in the Sherlock Holmes/Agatha Christie mold would be really cool as well.
While it’s not technically a Western, I find I think of THE PAINTED HILLS being Western adjacent. So I think of Joel as having had two Westerns to Mike’s one problem at the (C)ranch.
I’d love to see more old sci-fi and horror films. I don’t care if some people are weirdly averse to black and white films. We have ways of dealing with them.
