Time for a deep dive into the foul year of our Lord, 1955! Walt hates commies and needs to make a movie about a red-blooded, hard-nosed and hard-dicked American. Enter Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier! This is one of America's first rock stars, and an illustration of what happens when one man's legend becomes bigger than the man during his own lifetime.
