History Banter Podcast, Episode 25: The Lone Ranger (2013) w/ William Yancey
This week, Brad Folsom and I (Cameron Sinclair) are joined by our good friend William C. Yancey to look at Disney’s The Lone Ranger (2012), starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. This movie attempts to recreate/update the classic 1950s TV series into a dark, action-packed, Disney movie, with mixed results. We take them to task on the Texas Rangers, the Comanche, the Transcontinental Railroad, geography, old-west tropes, and much more…
