An Introduction to "Something Pretty"

Published on: 25th January, 2023

"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"!

About the Podcast

Something Pretty
Reconnoitering HBO's "Deadwood"
"Something Pretty" is a podcast dedicated to reconnoitering HBO's "Deadwood"! Wes and Clay discuss all 36 episodes (and the post-series film) of the beloved television show with their own brand of analysis, humor, and profanity. David Milch's neo-western is well-known for its vile and colorful language. But those who dig a little deeper will find the gold buried within one of the greatest television shows ever produced. Let us tell you something pretty!
