A man's got to do what a man's got to do - John Wayne returns

This post is in partnership with the INSP Network.

“The Sheriff Has Many Men”

My dad would quote John Wayne movies over and over again. We’d spend weekends as a family, cuddled up on the sofa in front of the TV watching marathons of the man who defined what a man was back in the day. There was no changing the channel when dad’s favorite cowboy came across the screen.

Then it happened

I discovered what was to become one of Mr. S and my 5 favorite movies of all time – The Quiet Man. I’m not sure if it’s his connection with Maureen O’Hara as Mary Kate Danaher (I can hear him say her name in my mind), seeing John Wayne in a love story, or the beauty of the Irish countryside that tugs at my heart, but just like my dad it is a movie that I can watch over and over again.

Lazy Days of Summer? Not When the Duke Is in Town!

We’ll be reviving the family tradition this year as John Wayne ramps up the Western action on INSP every weekend for the entire month of July. So crank up the AC, get your snacks in order, and ride with The Duke.

Rewatch your favorites as you tune in to watch his greatest films like 3 Godfathers, Angel and the Badman, Big Jake, El Dorado, McLintock!, Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, Rooster Cogburn, The Shootist, and Cahill, United States Marshall.

This special programming event will begin with the 1971 classic Big Jake, which will air on INSP on Friday, July 5^th at 9PM ET.
