Ep67 The Movies of Robert Duvall

It’s no secret that Jayd and Ryan are massive fans of Lonesome Dove — so with the passing of the legendary Robert Duvall, we figured there’s no better time to tip our hats and take a look at the rest of his incredible body of work.

Most folks know him as the trail-weary, iron-willed Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae, but Duvall’s career stretches far beyond the plains of Texas. From his quiet, haunting performance as Tom Hagen in The Godfather to the grizzled Marine helicopter commander in Apocalypse Now (who famously enjoyed the smell of napalm in the morning), Duvall built a career out of playing men who could command a room with nothing more than a look and a well-timed pause.

And then there’s The Apostle, where he stepped into the boots of a fiery Southern preacher — proving he could deliver a sermon just as convincingly as he could deliver a cavalry charge. Whether he was a rancher, a consigliere, a soldier, or a preacher, Duvall had a knack for portraying characters who felt lived-in, flawed, and deeply human.

To help us sort through the highlights — and probably argue about which role truly stands tallest — the boys are joined by two of their good friends, John and Quinton. Together, they’ll revisit some classic performances, share a few behind-the-scenes stories, and, if we’re being honest, attempt at least one questionable impression.

Saddle up. It’s less of a formal film study and more of a campfire conversation — just with better lighting and (hopefully) fewer mosquitoes.
