40.2 The Features: Rio Bravo, American Made, John Boorman’s Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, Last Action Hero
Issue 40 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with our regular Features episode. In our Classics and Recommended feature we look at the hugely influential 50s western Rio Bravo; our Hidden Gem is Tom Cruise's comparatively underseen American Made; The One That Got Away looks at British auteur John Boorman's failed attempt to make a live action version of Lord of the Rings in the 1970s; our Remake Hatewatch demolishes the execrable 2011 version of Conan the Barbarian; and to top it off we ask for Last Action Hero to be remade better this time.
Next week we'll bring you the latest Big Conversation, where we pitch ideas for the next big blockbuster. Our regular Double Reel Monthly for August is already available to download.
