I didn't know if I would hit the character limit for Patreon post titles 🤣

Here is the second winner of our April wheel spin. Better late than never!!

John Wayne and James Stewart!! A nice combo, and Jimmy Stewart is such a class act. He just oozes respect, yet can play timid and uncertain. I really enjoy that about him.

I think it's a great movie to start my John Wayne exposure, and I'm sure there will be plenty more to watch.

Overall, just a really fun movie with a great mix of emotions!

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Thank you so much for being here and watching along with me!!

FULL LENGTH REACTION | The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) [2025]

Reminder that you need your own copy of the movie to watch along with me since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

I truly loved your reaction! This has been a favorite of mine for years! Thank you!

I'm so glad you loved it!!! I am so happy to get to see movies that I normally would never have thought to check out, especially since they may not ever win a poll (no idea if this one would win, it's impossible for me to tell how a movie will perform in a poll lol)

Woody Strode played Pompey. He was a kind of breakthrough actor, one of the few black men in cinema at the time. When he and John Wayne (Tom Doniphon) pick up the badly injured James Stewart, apparently effortlessly, and carry him upstairs, it's because both he and Wayne were big men -- Wayne at 6'-4" and Strode at 6'-3" and both were muscular men. James Stewart was tall, (6'-3") but much slimmer. Woody Strode had a key role in the film Spartacus (for which he won a Golden Globe), and appeared in the iconic train station scene in "Once Upon a Time in the West", opposite Charles Bronson. Ennio Morricone did the score for that one.

This was a fun reaction. If you're looking for more John Wayne movies, "Stagecoach" (1939) is the movie that made John Wayne a star. "The Searchers" (1956) is probably his most critically acclaimed movie, while "Rio Bravo" (1959) is a lot of fun.

Thanks for this info, it's always impressive when people are carried around on screen and it looks so easy. I didn't know they were that tall, it didn't really stand out to me in the film lol He seems like a great actor, and I'm hoping to catch him in other movies :D

I haven't heard of any of those 😅 It'll be interesting to see John Wayne in 1939, he'll be quite a bit younger!

I remember recommending this movie to you on one of your YT videos as a western that's also a meditation on masculinity and its various forms, which was maybe even more relevant at the time. Ransom Stoddard, the sophisticated, compassionate intellectual was starting to compete with the tough, rugged "man's man" Tom Doniphan in what was to be the archetype for masculinity in pop culture and real life alike. Both have their drawbacks, and both have their advantages. It was Ransom who went on to get the girl, do great things and shape the future, because Tom didn't have the smarts or humility, but it was Tom who did the dirty work and got the job done when it needed to be, because Ransom didn't have the skills or the guts. I think if we can take anything away from this movie it's that there's not only room for both, but a need for both, and every kind of man in between. Nobody gets to tell you you're not a man if you're being who you are.
