IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS. A WINDSWEPT FIELD. TWO SUN-BEATEN MEN IN WIDE-BRIMMED HATS. ITCHY TRIGGER FINGERS. THE MUSIC CRESCENDOS. THE FINAL SHOWDOWN.

After a short break and some technical difficulties, Gabe and Patrick are back to finish what they started, looking back at 15 spaghetti westerns released in the year 1968. We saved some the greatest movies and the hottest takes for last – Sergio Corbucci’s The Mercenary (Italian: Il mercenario), Enzo G. Castellari’s Kill Them All and Come Back Alone (Italian: Ammazzali tutti e torna solo), Corbucci’s The Great Silence (Italian: Il grande silenzio), and Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West (Italian: C'era una volta il West).

Check out Part 1 and Part 2 first.

Welcome back for part two of Gabe and Patrick’s three-part look back at the Spaghetti Westerns of 1968. This is going to be the longest of the three episodes, because we’re rappin’ about six films – Ferdinando Baldi's Hate Thy Neighbor (Italian: Odia il prossimo tuo), Gianfranco Baldanello's Black Jack, Giulio Petroni's A Sky Full of Stars for a Roof (Italian: ...e per tetto un cielo di stelle), Gianfranco Parolini's If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death (Italian: Se incontri Sartana prega per la tua morte), Sergio Sollima’s Run, Man, Run (Italian: Corri uomo corri), and Giuseppe Colizzi's Ace High (Italian: I quattro dell'Ave Maria).

This episode was culled from two different recording sessions so please excuse any inconsistencies in sound quality. My nose was also very stuffy.
