Opening Scene - MAGNIFICENT SEVEN!

Another great episode of the ITMODcast dropped today--the Remember the Alamo segment on John Ford & John Wayne's THE SEARCHERS.  It's another fantastic conversation, revolving around my favorite film genre, centered on my favorite director/actor combination.

But, if we move away from The Searchers, as they do in the episode, we find that one of the hosts, Brad, can't enjoy The Magnificent Seven because he's unable to divest the film of its debt to Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

Brad, I understand, but how can you not be all in after this opening scene?
