An Introduction to "Something Pretty"

"Something Pretty" is a podcast that aims to discuss every episode (and movie) of HBO's "Deadwood" through a combination of humor, background reading, and narrative analysis. Wes (of the clammy hands) and Clay (who speaks in thunder) dive deep into the early 2000s series and examine its themes, characters, plotlines, and novel use of language.

In this inaugural episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay discuss their history with the show, David Milch's favorite thing to shoot at with a shotgun, and whether or not the series is a western at all.

Our first episode covering the series proper will be out next week. Make sure to subscribe to hear our coverage of the pilot, fittingly titled "Deadwood"!
