Saddle up with Jackie and Greg as they dig into John Ford's seminal western and contemplate its reputation in 2022. Topics of discussion include the film's casual racism, the forced slapstick comedy (and tonal confusion), the film's iconic images, and why it doesn't live up to its potential (or Ford's usual standard). Oh and why John Wayne kinda sucks. Watch out -- they're out for blood.
