Episode 79: Fantastic Fest Q&A: The Last Stop In Yuma County w/Francis Gallupi (and Crew)

October 01, 2023  /  Aaron Haughton

Last Stop In Yuma County is a one-location film done right, a pulsing, palpably tense, flawlessly executed pressure-cooker thriller that that mixes whip-smart dialogue and humor with tension and violence. It’s essentially a spaghetti western reimagined as a 70s neo-noir crime film and done in a Coen brother style, like Blood Simple, Miller’s Crossing, and No Country For Old Men. It also features a terrific ensemble cast, who all give excellent performances and get their time to shine. The film had its world premiere at this year's Fantastic Fest, and we're stoked to share its Q&A with you, which contains lots of fun stories about Jim Cummings and Richard Brake, as well as fascinating info on the film's production. Enjoy!
