Not sure whether The Nightingale (Jennifer Kent, 2018) should be listed in this article. Please discuss at Talk:The Nightingale (2018 film)#Genre. Mathew5000 ( talk) 01:20, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
I think it is a mistake to title this article "Meat Pie Western". It would have been better to use the more established term "Australian Western" and then stated "also known as Kangaroo or Meat Pie Western". While the term is used by some contemporary journalists and film bloggers, the joke name means very little to anyone outside Australia, and thus renders the whole thing less accessible. Eric Reade, who is cited here as amongst the first to use the term in his 1979 text History and Heartburn certainly did use it, but as with some of his other commentary, he was clearly being "tongue in cheek."
I understand this article's original author has been blocked for repeated copy violations, but they were also accused of spamming material from film blogs - which in my view had an overtly frivolous and nationalistic tone.
Anyway, I'd be interested in other views. Nickm57 ( talk) 03:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of Western subgenres which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 05:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
The article makes the claim that The Overlanders (1946) "was marketed in Australia as a drama, but marketed overseas as an "Australian Western"" but it fails to provide a source for this claim. I have yet to find anything that would support this claim, as well. I would advise in removing this short bit until it can be backed up with evidence. 71.41.136.212 ( talk) 19:32, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
