Fusco Fest - Young Guns II

In this episode of Midnight Viewing, hosts Father Malone and HP from Noise Junkies discuss the classic western film Young Guns II. They delve into their appreciation for John Fusco's writing and the performances, particularly praising Emilio Estevez's portrayal of Billy the Kid and William Petersen's performance as Pat Garrett. The conversation covers the historical context, the strong supporting cast, Alan Silvestri's score, and the film's resonance as a successor to other westerns.
