The Sandman flies solo this episode. It's late at night, he's sleepy, and he simply must tell you about two great westerns he watched back to back: John Ford's The Searchers and Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo!

But what makes these two John Wayne starring classics great? How are they different and sort of similar? One is a definitive Dudes Suck movie and the other is one of the first Dudes Rock movies.

AND FURTHER IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ARE ASKED, SUCH AS: Why are westerns so inherently lonely? What does a halfway healthy dude relationship look like? Vera Miles? (spoiler alert, the answer to that last one is a resounding yes)

So saddle up and listen to one sleepy, unqualified man try to make sense of the two classic westerns he crammed in one day!
