Welcome to Nooks and Crannies, Episode 4!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This week we had a bit of a delay due to extenuating circumstances, but there is no stopping Nooks and Crannies!

This week we hear the remainder of Pau_uuls Podcast; Westerns, be sure to take a look at the show notes to see the links that Capt. Concussion forgot to include in the last episode. Paul and Matt kick things off talking about The Wild Bunch (2:10) and its famous Bridge Scene, then advance theories as to why the Western died in the 80’s (4:35) including the Star Wars Factor (7:45) and the hottest of Hot Takes by Pauley (15:37). Mamoo decided that now was the time to deep dive on Lonesome Dove (17:03). Paul fills us in on the Waterworld of Westerns (22:09) and wrap up this section with some talk on Unforgiven (23:15).

Amy Longard is an Ottawa based nutritionist that Matt met at a chronic pain gathering in Strathcona Park in the summer (24:28). Amy described how her own healthy lifestyle in some ways was the cause of her chronic illnesses and how this eventually led to chef’s training and a new career in nutritional care (30:10). Mattie proposes a theory (35:03) about the immediacy of nutritional efficacy and Amy bridges off this describe her own approach in helping others (39:55).

Part 2 of this interview will play next week, stay tuned and in the meantime follow Amy on Instagram, sign up for her newsletter and read her blog.

Last but not least, its Pau_uuls podcast again! We wrap things up continuing to debate the causality of Westerns decline in the ’80s (45:45), it got pretty heated, almost had to Kick Paul off the show just like I did to Evan. Anywhoozy, We kept talking about Unforgiven (49:12), including yet another incisive point by Paul about Toxic Masculinity (54:30). We do a mini deep dive on Tombstone (57:16) then a brief chat about post-2000’s Westerns (1:01:01) and finish up on Blazing Saddles (1:10:45)
