At the end of each month, Emil and Friends sit around the radio campfire and talk about western movies, the actors, the scripts, and, the musical scores. Emil is usually joined by Todd Roberts, Michael F. Blake, Robert Nott, John Komrada, Cotton Smith, and Johnny Boggs. Lively discusstions come up when the group tries to choose a "best of" or "Top 10" list of movies, movie scores, actors, directors, plots, or who was the best "bad guy."
