Description
My name is 2007. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair:  There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men 3:10 to Yuma The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 2007 was a banner year for the Western genre. The Shuffle Boys get into what each of these films was offering the culture in 2007, and spend the first half hour covering the Frontier’s effect on American national mythology and political culture for our overseas listeners.
