Ep. 036 - The Magnificent Seven (2016)

Published: Dec. 28, 2020, 1 p.m.

The fellas ride into the stable to talk Fuqua’s remake of The Magnificent 7. Spoilers: Fuqua never screened the original for his cast before filming; this is more closely related to the source material, Seven Samurai (which Fuqua DID screen for his cast). Paco, Jason and Evan talk the nuances of both the original 1960 film and the remake made 56 years later, as well as the development of the Western genre as a whole and where it has come since the days of Sergio Leone, John Ford and Sam Peckinpah. Also, spoiler alert: this movie is very different from the original.
