About this listen

Join Luke, Mitchell and Vonn as they discuss The Conqueror, the film where John Wayne portrays Temujin, the man who would become Genghis Khan. Besides the absurd casting, this Howard Hughes produced catastrophe is perhaps best known for being filmed near a nuclear test site, which gave most of the cast and crew cancer. A true nuclear bomb of a film!

The Conqueror was directed by Dick Powell and also stars Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorhead and Pedro Armendariz.

*This episode is dedicated to the great nation and peoples of Mongolia. If we offended anyone in any way, please accept our sincere apologies and assurance that you may freely insult any of our Canadian national heroes such as Wilfred Laurier, John A. MacDonald, and Justin Trudeau.

The song you hear at the end is titled In Praise of Genghis Khan. *
