Nate and Ryan talk about their first western, The Magnificent Seven, starring Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen and directed by John Sturges.  With Antoine Fuqua’s remake still in theaters, Nate and Ryan discuss how the original (itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai) holds up today.  While The Magnificent Seven isn’t necessarily one of the foundation-setting westerns, it certainly has developed a special place in film history and in people’s hearts, thanks in no small part to the fact that Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner are just so damn cool.
