What the Flick?! — A Million Ways to Die in the West

As is his preferred method, Seth MacFarlane throws everything at the wall — often more than once — to see what sticks in his comic Western. I laughed a lot throughout, particularly when MacFarlane is at his smartest with humor that subverts politics, pop culture and religion. And Charlize Theron is delightful in a rare chance to be funny. But man, is this movie a mess. There’s no such thing as restraint. Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times (and a fellow SMU grad) joins me and Ben to discuss.
