Discussion on the movie Tombstone and its production history

For its 30th anniversary, we close out our commentary tracks for the year with a fond look back at TOMBSTONE. The western starring Kurt Russell & Val Kilmer western as legendary lawman Wyatt Earp and his friend Doc Holliday is now considered a modern classic but it navigated plenty of treacherous terrain on its way to the screen. We talk through the film's chaotic production and it's eventual embrace by several generations of fans, plus comparisons with Kevin Costner's WYATT EARP (released less than a year later) and the real history behind the events depicted in the film. This was a joy to record, and we hope you'll enjoy listening!
