WEEK 50 - THE WESTERNER (1940)

I was crying cheesy red wine tears on the evening of 4th May 2023. No, not because I was about to turn 44 years old in 48 hours time,...

WEEK 49 - NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)

The penultimate foray into Wine, Westerns & Wotsits before we switch to #SiFiPieFri in mid May for the summer season, and I was a bit...

WEEK 48 - THE SEARCHERS (1956)

I think it was Father's Day 2020 when I bought Daddy Wotsit a DVD box set of five classic Westerns. All in my top 100. Bit cheeky of...

WEEK 47 - DEADWOOD : THE MOVIE (2019)

Always makes me a bit apprehensive to watch a film based on a TV series I've never seen. Will I understand what is going on? Would a...

WEEK 46 - THE BIG COUNTRY (1958)

Back on Wednesday 8th February, in that 'difficult' period of time between the discovery of Nicola Bulley and my epic trip to Norfolk...

WEEK 45 - THE KEEPING ROOM (2014)

The first of two consecutive February #WWWSI weeks took us to Spain and the USA, perhaps not quite as exciting as our Swedish/Uruguayan...

WEEK 44 - THE NEW LAND (1972)

The lengths I go to so I can watch the Western I've rolled my 30 sided dice for! I could only find this one on 'Blu-Ray' (whatever that...

WEEK 43 - STAGECOACH (1939)

7th July '22 when I watched this classic, and I thought BRAPA blogs were behind! This was however, my final 'Wine, Western, Wotsits...

WEEK 42 - MEEK'S CUTOFF

For the first time in three weeks, work had allowed me to take what was rightfully mine (AKA reclaim my #ThirstyThursday) and how do the...

WEEK 41 - THE TALL T

Thirsty Thursdays have not been as thirsty as I'd like recently. Not from a beer perspective anyway. First we had two weeks of the bank...

WEEK 35 - RIO BRAVO

It was an emotional evening at Wotsit Towers as I prepared for the last ever* Wine, Western and Wotsits Staying In night. Much of the...

WEEK 34 - THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE

No expense was spared for this, the penultimate #WWWSI before pubs open indoors and BRAPA can resume on a full time basis. And if you are...

WEEK 33 - THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

Just got in from #SavingYorkPubsInTheRain Luckily, I wrote the following yesterday. Two weeks today, pubs reopen indoors. Prepare for...

WEEK 32 - MCLINTOCK!

The psychic link between my sister and the #WWWSI me is strong. We don't message each other that often, but when we do, it always...

WEEK 31 - DEAD MAN

So for the last time this season (which ends 28th Feb I've decided), it was time to roll out the Wotsits for a #WWWSI night. Dry your...

#WWWSI Update - Beneath the Poncho

Fear not dear followers, I'm not about to review a rather specialist Western called 'Beneath the Poncho' though I suspect such things...

WEEK 30 - HANG 'EM HIGH

The first film not originally included in my top 100 Westerns was Hang 'Em High, and I'm pretty sure it is quite famous. In fact, our...

WEEK 29 - THE PROFESSIONALS

Friday. It makes so much more sense than the (previously traditional) Thursday slot when you remember you have no Essex train journeys...

WEEK 28 - BLACKTHORN (2011)

Less than 24 hours after rolling the dice to determine that I'd be watching 'Blackthorn' for my next western, I found myself at Bernard's...

WEEK 27 - THE HOMESMAN (2014)

WATERY BEGINNINGS Week 27 nearly didn't happen at all after my afternoon walk around York found me ignoring this sign just outside the...
