Daniel Stacks (Tim Baltz) is a Ford enthusiast and historian who runs his own YouTube channel dedicated to the topic he loves. He loves the history of the cars, the pop culture that it’s involved itself in and how it became a household name.
He’s also in awe of one of Ford’s prominent spokesmodels for the company in the late 70’s and early 80’s – John Bronco (Walton Goggins). John Bronco was a pop culture force of nature all unto himself and he is still fondly remembered today, not only by Ford lovers, but of early 80’s cartoons and breakfast cereal fans.
John Bronco was a man, a legend and a brand the likes of which the world had never seen and Daniel Stacks thinks it’s about time he got his star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
John Bronco Rides Again is a short mockumentary based on the character created by Walton Goggins from a short directed by Jake Syzmanski. Expanding on John Bronco’s impact on the world, John Bronco Rides Again tells a short biography of the kind of man only few would remember, but is remembered fondly for their niche impact on a young man’s life.
Walton Goggins by now is well known for playing cowboy types, so he fits perfectly into the role and makes Bronco a charming, endearing and somewhat dim-witted character which audiences are sure to enjoy. In fact, the chance of a full series following the escapades of a former TV star trying to recapture his former glory may have a lot of potential, as a lot of work has clearly been put into the character to flesh him out.
The recreation of a certain kind of Americana is meticulously detailed and the story of his life is littered with cameos from some surprisingly recognisable people as well. A particular highlight is Michael Chiklis who has a rather unexpected connection to the titular star.
John Bronco is short and sweet and shows the potential of the character in a longer form, the jokes don’t always work unless perhaps you’re a certain age and remember people like John Bronco, but he could be a character worth exploring on his journey to fame. However, maybe a little less sponsorship from Ford wouldn’t go amiss.
