Red Rock West is an under-seen, under-appreciated work of genius. I remember being really excited when I saw John Dahl's name.

The VFW scene is very interesting: you can see that Arlo's behavior explains different things about Raylan to Tim and Art. And it's also really interesting to see how Raylan reacts, and how you can see traces of that in how he acts with other authority figures - and his self-consciousness/embarrassment at having Art and Tim witness that behavior.
