53: Deep Thoughts About City Slickers

Updated: 11 hours ago

I crap bigger’n you!


The 1991 film City Slickers holds a special place in the Guy sisters’ hearts because of how much their dad loved it. When Tracie and Emily took him to see this film in the theater for Father’s Day, they had no idea this gentle comedy-Western would offer a nuanced look at the meaning of masculinity, male friendships, and figuring out what matters in life. Although the film’s portrayal of women does not completely stand up to 2024 scrutiny–it falls victim to lazy tropes about ball-busting wives and attractive women as prizes–City Slickers gives the audience realistic and non-toxic blueprints for embracing a masculinity that includes nurturing, affection, protection, and gentleness.
