#51 – The Magnificent Seven

In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, David
introduced Brett and Nicole to an older Western. The Magnificent
Seven may have been a remake of a Japanese movie and bombed at
the box office, but over the years it has become an American
classic. What has made this movie endure so well over time? What
is it about the characters that makes them so compelling? Is
there a stealth gay character? How is it that a 1960 movie
featuring Mexican villagers is so moderately non-racist? Tune in
to hear us hash these questions out.


Next week we're watching a Netflix Roulette film, The Polka King.
