Top 5 John Wayne Movies

This episode we turn to our lovely Patreon subscribers: in this case, John, who is asking us to weigh in on a different John – Marion “John ‘The Duke'” Wayne, famous as a star of classic Westerns, and infamous for reasons that we’d hate to spoil for Carrie before we get to the actual recording. Wayne’s legacy has proven very complicated and difficult to grapple with, and we’ll be of absolutely no help in resolving it, between Tim’s attitude of “I love him very much, and you can take him from me when I am dead and buried in the cold ground” and Carrie’s counterpoint of “Have I seen 5 John Wayne movies? Does Robin Williams doing a John Wayne impression count?” It is, at the very least, probably going to be one of our loopier episodes, so be sure to check it out!
