On the cusp of the 2020 US presidential election, we\u2019re taking a look at a film set in 1820s Oregon Territory, telling the story of two men trying to make their way in the harsh frontier of the burgeoning American West. Join us on this week\u2019s podcast, as we sink our critical teeth into this sweet cake of a \u201cCaro film\u201d: Director Kelly Reichardt\u2019s 2019 film First Cow, exploring friendship, masculinity and the consequences of capitalism in a deliberately paced story filled with bright spots of light, sweetness, and memory.
