WESTERNS: Tombstone (1993) / Wyatt Earp (1994)

“You tell ‘em I’M coming…and Hell’s coming with me!”

We close out our Westerns series with a review of dueling Wyatt Earps. On one side, we have an absolute shitshow of a production saved at the last moment by two powerhouse actors and some absolute perfect melodrama. On the other side, we have Kevin Costner giving the most soulless performance of his life. This is a real contrast, one destined for cable classic status and one that really could just be wiped from the face of the earth. Take the long walk to the OK Corral with us as we watch Tombstone and Wyatt Earp on Have a Good Movie!
