    Dad took me to see this movie when I was 13. He was a cattle rancher and me and my little brother were two of his hands. Dad and my brother are gone, but when I see this movie it brings my dad and brother back to me. As well as the Duke. Thank you Ethan .

    This was the first movie that I got to go to the theater with my Dad and see... I was 10 years old in 72 and I'll never forget how upset I got when I saw John Wayne die in the movie. There were two people in the world that I didn't think could die at the time.. my Dad and John Wayne... they both gone now so I really appreciate you guys putting this on as it brought back some great memories and awesome to hear the guys talking about it.

      Same here, My Dad was a huge man and a huge John Wayne fan and looked like him too. I grew up watching Mr. Wayne's films from my playpen and was a bigger fan than my Dad. I remember both of us sitting on our porch quietly crying and looking out at the stars when we heard of John Waynes passing, neither one had to say a word because we understood what the other was feeling. Sure do miss those movies and the times. I haven't seen much worth remembering since.

    I watch the cowboys probably twice a year. It's my favorite film. It's a masterpiece. I'm always struck about how Robert carradine is the first to jump down and get on crazy Alice! I was 10 years old when you made this film. I looked up to John Wayne too. I didn't have a father.

    I remember going to see The Cowboys in the theater and was absolutely devastated when John Wayne gets killed in the movie. He was my idol and hero growing up and I always wanted to be like him. Like it was said for the premiere of the movie and how all the kids had a blood lust for Bruce Dern, I had the same thing. When I actually met Bruce, I told him I hated him in that movie, to which he responded with “thank you “. I didn’t know how to act when he said that. Then he said that he had played the part right. I thought about it for a moment and realized that I had to agree. I never will forget that. You guys did an amazing job with that movie and it is a true classic. One of the best movies ever made.

      I did that to Timothy Busfield on a plane. I told him that I hated him in Field of Dreams. Playing him really seriously . But after he took so serious. I smiled and told him he played the part great. Later I found out he played 9 seasons for The Sacramento farm team. He should've been on one of the team's.
      Nice guy

    I missed this wonderful group of men by a month !! I just got back from Ft Worth and visiting the John Wayne American Experience. It was a moving, emotional exhibit for me seeing so many details of his personal life and professional life. And I came away having more respect for him and his family.

    I was 15 or 16 when this movie came out and of course it deeply impacted me because the actors were about my age. Growing up around cowboys here in West Texas it was especially meaningful. I actually got to wave at John Wayne when I was a kid and he smiled and waved back! My folks had taken us to Newport Beach and just happened to see Duke and his family coming back on his converted minesweeper yacht. A magic moment.

    Thank you for this opportunity to cach up with the cast and to hear Ethan's memories, too. Like Alfred Barker Jr (Fats) a whole generation had John Wayne as a father figure. I was in the military when I first saw Cowboys and the relationships (hard, difficult, and loving) displayed in it drove home. Like Ethan, I was the youngest and my father did not want me to enlist but could not say it. The Navy recruiter actually told me when I returned. My dad was tall and big and rough and tumble when I went in and he suffered several heart attacks before I returned. The John Wayne-esque personna was gone but as I now watch the death scene it is all-too moving, in part due to John Wayne's performance. Thanks again.

It's wonderful. So entertaining thank you so much for sharing this with us. And God bless you

    Ethan, in 1983 or 84 I stood behind you at Newport Savings & Loan in CM - I found out later you were only 19; I wondered why the tellers were acting polite but giddy like school girls. Then one of them called you by name and I realized who you were; I was in my 20s. The Searchers was and is my favorite western movie and my favorite of your wonderful father's films. So I named my one and only son Ethan; he's only in his 30s, did a long stint in the US Coast Guard, and last Christmas we rented a boat in NB harbor and we let him steer the boat (lol) right past your old house - wonderful time. Drove up off PCH and showed him where your dad is buried, not far from where I worked at Fashion Island in the GOOD ol' days. Thank you for posting this. Much obliged. God bless you and your family. from US Coast Guard mom, ol' HB surfer.

    Isn’t sad when you think that in just a few years most of us who grew up with John Wayne, when he was living, idolizing him, are going to be gone ourselves. Thank you, Ethan…and btw, one of my 17 grandsons is named Ethan Patrick…for getting this together. I, for one of many, totally enjoyed it. Your dad was one of my major heroes when I was growing up and my Daddy, who was born in 1918, loved your Dad’s movies too. I cried throughout “The Shootist”, knowing that there would be no more and seeing him at that last Academy Awards ceremony….I cried all of the time he was on stage…then in 1996, my Daddy also died of lung cancer at 78….it still hurts today. I grew up in Irving, as did my Mom, born in 1925, and my grandfather, Henry Beaufford, who was born in what would later become Irving, in 1887, and I remember the Ft. Worth Stockyards when they really were stockyards. I have lived in east Texas since 1979 but if I had known about this event, we would have driven up to see it. I have a son in Sherman, and a daughter in Arlington…two of my 7 children. In fact, two of my 17 grandsons are 14 now…Liam in Kingsport, Tennessee and Caden in Sherman, Texas. I am going to see if I can get DVD’s of “The Cowboys” to give them as Christmas gifts. Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful memories. So seldom do we get to catch up on the lives of some of our favorite actors 50 years after an unforgettable, spectacular movie like this…….thank you, we truly appreciate your efforts especially if you all had to fly into DFW! Take care….Nancy Davis Curtis, Price, Texas

    Last summer as I live in NorCal now (sigh), on our week down in SoCal I drove my husband to the beautiful cemetery which rises above the Pacific and showed him the Duke's grave site. We stood there a long time very quietly. We miss him greatly. I remember when the Duke died, Newport Beach went into mourning - a LOT of Orange County did.

    Ethan,
    This is Jim Olson from Stanfield, AZ. It’s been a while and I seem to have lost your direct contact info, so I am reaching out through here. Hope it reaches you.
    You might recall we worked together for several years when I was chairman of the Louie and the Duke Classics event in this area during the early 2000s.
    Anyway, the reason for my correspondence is the other day I came across your Gritcast on RUclips. I have watched several episodes and wish to thank you, and commend you, for what you guys are doing.
    I believe it is important to keep the memory (and more importantly the character traits) of your father alive. Several generations of us grew up watching those movies and, like mentioned on the Gritcast a few times, they were loaded with little nuggets of inspiration that made a person want to do better. To be a better and more upstanding person. I know they did for me. Growing up as a young man without much positive male influence, I adopted heroes like that as my father figure.
    By the time I was a teenager, I had watched every John Wayne movie I could and read every Louis L’Amour book I could find. They helped form who I later became and I am extremely grateful for it.
    As mentioned a few times on the show, there’s really no public figure / hero type of character out there today for this generation to look up to and that’s a shame.
    This is one of the reasons why what you do is so important. I know for me, it was a major factor when deciding to get involved in the Louie and the Duke event all those years ago. It wasn’t just about raising money for cancer research. It was about keeping history and more importantly, the western character, alive.
    I’ll quit rambling on now. Just wanted to say thank you and if there is ever any way I can add value to what you guys do, feel free to reach out.
    Sincerely,
    Jim Olson

    There on or two negative opinions about John Wayne on here. I just got ro simply say FU ! No one is more patriotic then John Wayne. By being who he was, he taught millions of young boys how to be real Men. He taught us to love our country, he gave us a righteous code to live by, that it's not color that we respect others... but there actions. John Wayne inspired the youth of America to become real Americans. John Wayne was a great Patriot. Go to RUclips and look up John Wayne the hyphen or John Wayne America. There are other clips of him there, check them out. No matter what your talking about, it's always wise to learn the truth before you open your mouth. Save yourself from looking like a fool... again.

      It is easy for people to condemn John Wayne for filing a 3-A deferment, of not enlisting in 1941. In reading about his personal struggles, by 1943 the studios intervened to keep him out of active duty--that his star power would be greater to benefit the war effort. He was active in the USO, and met and spoke with the troops in WW2 south Pacific, (he was heckled and booed by some.) and later the soldiers in Vietnam Nam reacted very acceptably of his work to encourage them. He became an outspoken supporter of the military, our troops... If you just do not care for Mr. Wayne, and take his decision to not enlist as cowardice, not a soul can alter an opinion like that. It is said that it was a torment to him for the rest of his life. We all have regrets. We all look back and see poor selfish decisions we've made. Times we took the easy road, etc.
      Would you think more highly of him if he was MIA? killed in action? Or maimed for life?
