[Music] Let's start with this picture of Sam Elliot as provided by Paramount ahead of season 2 of Land Man. I know we got the trailer this week and we'll get there in less than 30 seconds, but it moves so fast. In my opinion, you can learn just as much studying the still shots as you can the fast clips in any 60 to 90 second trailer. And that photo I just showed is revealing. So too is this one. Actually, I think this picture is kind of troublesome. In a moment, I'll explain why. And later, major Yellowstone Universe cast news. An absolute legend is joining a spin-off, The Madison, and we can finally talk about it. It's now clear exactly who Sam Elliot's character is on Land Man. And for the most part, he's friend, not foe to the Norrises. That doesn't mean he's a pushover. Here's what I mean. >> Situations like this have to come to a head before it resolves itself. It's about to come to a head. >> Did you see it? Let's rewind. And here, old TL is dropping the hammer on some old-timer wearing a county jail vest, just picking up trash. I don't like that. TL, that's his name, by the way, and I'm not sure that many other outlets picked up on this, as it was kind of buried in the metadata of the photos sent our way. The T in TL likely stands for Thomas or Tommy. And here's why we know this. >> So, just another day. Just another day. Pop. >> Pop. He called him Pop as in dad. TL L as played by Sam Elliot is Tommy Norris's father. And this fits because both appear to be super blue collar. I first got the impression that the two men were close when I spotted this on YouTube. They look pretty friendly, right? Then Ellie Larder, who plays Angela Norris, shared this picture to Instagram. Aw, look at TL with his granddaughter. Here's a photo of Sam's character having a friendly slow dance with Angela. At least I hope it's friendly. I'm going to offer the first of what I'm sure will be dozens of wild theories about Land Man season 2. Freeze that punch scene once again. Why would you hit an unexpecting prison trash cleanup guy in a sporting arena? Well, you would if you were sauced, right? If you recall, Tommy's an alcoholic and often the apple doesn't fall far. Now, look at this pic of TL dressed up. To me, that looks like a man who has made some mistakes and is looking out the window at justice racing towards him. Is this crazy? Yeah, it could be. But what fun is watching shows from the Taylor Sheridan universe if you can't talk about them? Subscribers know we've been breaking down shows like Yellowstone in 1923 for years. And starting in November, we're going to do the same for Landman. Consider joining us for weekly recaps and previews, plus the Dutton Rules podcast in full on YouTube live. Really excited about that. But enough with the commercials. There's something else we need to pull from this trailer. >> Every bank is in that room. >> Demi Moore plays Cammy Miller. If you recall, she's widow to Monty, who owned MTech. >> I called this lunchon to squash the rumors and to offer you a warning. The only difference between me and my husband is I'm meaner. >> Dang, girl. Everyone thought it was odd how underused Moore was during season 1, but that's going to change. She is part of not one, not two, but three plot lines suggested in this trailer. I just showed you one, Cammy versus the Bankers. The second involves state troopers. And I played this clip earlier, but this time, focus on the woman in the white tank top. Situations like this have to come to a head before it resolves itself. It's about to come to a head. >> Cammy is in the background there as police move in and then she appears again 10 seconds later. Did you see her? Rewind and freeze. What in the world is going on? With as good as Tommy was to Cammy in season 1, I suspect a rift is growing in season 2. Here's why. >> She owns our company, but I run it. That does not sound like two adults working through a difficult situation together, does it? If you recall, Monty Miller green lit a pretty risky investment just before he died. And I think this is what's causing all the stress and the bank meetings. Back to the trailer, we see brief clips of Cooper and Ariana, but it's really pretty hard to make anything out of what's happening other than the relationship continues to be emotional and clumsy. I love this plot line from season 1, and I really can't wait to soak up that chemistry once again. We do learn a little bit more about Aninssley. She's going to be applying for colleges this year. And if you watch the trailer, you'll see her school of choice is TCU. There was also a clip of her in a frogs shirt earlier, so that all sort of tracks. However, I suspect it won't be easy because the show has cast Miriam Silverman as a college admissions counselor named Greta Stidum. The name alone tells me that she's a problem. Apologies to all Gretas watching, but that's a power name that makes me think she's more foe than friend. I think that's about it for the trailer. Although Andy Garcia is back as Galino, the cartel boss, and his role should really expand significantly in season 2. Taylor Sheridan really has no problem getting A-listers for his TV shows. Kevin Cosner, Harrison Ford, Helen Marin, Sam Elliot twice, Demi Moore, John Ham. A new CBS spin-off called Why Marshalss has landed Ed Harris and Annette Benning. And I dropped a link to an article about that in the description section. Just before we were set to film this video, it was announced that the Madison has added Kurt Russell. He's another legend. And he'll join Michelle Feifer for a show that is set to premiere. And actually, we have no word on that. I'm Billy Dukes for Taste of Country. Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing.
