The Third Foot: The Making of "The Conqueror" (Bonus Episode)

For this month's bonus episode we have a guest! Having recently covered the World's Worst Historical Movie, one listener got in touch to bring a major omission to our attention: The Conqueror, starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan. That was enough of an elevator pitch to catch our attention. Even better, Ryan Uytdewilligen has also written a book about that ill-fated project. We have brought him onto this Third Foot to tell us all about Howard Hughes's love of epics, John Wayne's dumpster diving and how literally toxic this entire production was. <p>Follow us on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/worstfoot">@worstfoot</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/bazmcstay">@bazmcstay</a> <a href= "https://twitter.com/benvandervelde">@benvandervelde</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/R_Uytdewilligen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@R_Uytdewilligen</a></p> <p>Join us on our Discord server! <a href= "https://t.co/CXt35RKHVN?amp=1">https://discord.gg/9buWKthgfx</a></p> <p>Visit <a href= "http://www.worstfootforwardpodcast.com/">www.worstfootforwardpodcast.com</a> for all previous episodes and you can donate to us on Patreon if you’d like to support the show during this whole pandemic thing, and especially as we work on our first book and plan some live shows! <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/WorstFootForward">https://www.patreon.com/WorstFootForward</a></p> <p>Worst Foot Forward is part of Podnose: <a href= "http://www.podnose.com/">www.podnose.com</a></p>
