Considering the Cinema presents… The DVD Infatuation Podcast, starring Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker — “The Leonard Maltin of the Internet,” the Amazing but Subtle One, the National Treasure himself, as he welcomes special guest Matt Rawlings of Father and Son Watch Horror Movies podcast (as well as Matt’s three puppies). During Episode 057, the topic is THE FILMS OF “THE DUKE,” JOHN WAYNE. You will also get some inside info about Bruce Dern and many other inside scoop stories (that you’ve never heard before). Also, Matt does a very convincing John Wayne impersonation. You will hear a great story about “The Quiet Man” (1952), as well as the tale of when Dr. Shock fell in love with the film “The Shootist” (1976).
Dave and Matt even mention a couple of John Wayne’s worst movies. In this episode, Matt tells a story about the one time he was truly star-struck in L.A. … Which actor did he meet? Listen to find out! During this show, you can also hear which contemporary filmmaker Dave refers to as “a Modern-Day Hitchcock.” And somehow, Dave and Matt even end up talking about “The Nail Gun Massacre” (1985) — not a John Wayne film, but maybe it should have been… Oh, and Dave tells the saddest story you’ve ever heard about the pre-VHS / home video era involving the movie “Superman” (1978). Episode 057 is a fascinating must-listen!
The DVD Infatuation Podcast is a monthly release, so watch for Dave’s March 2022 (18th Edition). Thanks for listening!
