The Magnificent Seven (1960) - Supplement

While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on The Magnificent Seven, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...



Episode 42: The Magnificent Seven (1960)


Tim and Corinne are only two, but they podcast like two-hundred as they head south of the border to watch The Magnificent Seven from 1960. They compare this Americanized remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai to its Japanese source material, cringe at some of the "white savior" aspects of the story, and revel in the coolness of Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and a questionable Cajun accent.

The Valley of Gwangi - Supplement

While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on The Valley of Gwangi, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...



Episode 41: The Valley of Gwangi


The wild West meets the Jurassic period as we ride into the hidden valley to lasso an episode on the cowboys vs. dinosaurs creature feature The Valley of Gwangi. We comment on how the story borrows from previous dinosaur movies, marvel at the detail and artistry of special effects master Ray Harryhausen's creations, and ponder if the film could serve as an alternate origin story for Devil Dinosaur. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and pedantry about paleontological accuracy.
