A documentary that required mandatory blindspot watches and made us into unexpected John Ford guys. What can we say, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance gets to us all! In the first Bogdanodoc, he used his journalistic know-how and nerdy love for film scholarship to convince the AFI to make a John Ford documentary (deal with it Frank Capra). Featuring interviews from Henry Fonda, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and even the grumpy and honestly fitted out John Ford himself, Bogdanovich crafts a love letter to the directorial work and authorship of ol’ Jack. Even if the doc perhaps feels like 60% a clip show at times, in these hosts’ opinion…
In this episode we discuss box office headache of Angel Studios, the upcoming Jimmy Stewart biopic starring Archie from Riverdale, Bogdanovich’s notorious pastel yellow sweater, our good friend Varang, and David Lynch’s knockout performance as Ford in The Fabelmans.
Next Episode: Duck, You Sucker! (1971) (AKA: A Fistful of Dynamite)
