My latest for the folks at Forgotten Road Radio (and next week's teaser):
John Wayne and John Ford; "The Searchers" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence," The least appealing character John Wayne ever played, As near a villain as he is a hero, The heroic villain or villainous hero, They embrace their sins for the good of another, the sacrificial wolf, The "heroes" don't want to walk through the doorway, they have no role in the civilized West. They are most at home in the wilderness.
