Summary

What would happen if you took the kid from Shane and had him wander in a world without Shane? Martin Ritt's Hud (1963) shows us the answer. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about the danger of Paul Newman's charisma and how this terrific film set in 1963 Texas evokes King Lear, Death of a Salesman, and, of course, Shane. Put that radio in your pocket so you can listen as you look for your womanizing uncle!
