Make My Day: A Clint Eastwood Podcast

We're hours away from April, but don't worry, we're back with a new episode! The boys are back in town, aka New York City, as they leave the West and head East for 1968's Coogan's Bluff. Join Mac, Mike, and Adam as they discuss how the Don Siegel picture -- the first of five collaborations between the filmmaker and Clint -- is a true-blue bridge movie for both artists. They also digress on how there's no time for love in Siegel's domain, how this feels like Dirty Harry Zero, and whether Ringerman is a believable villain. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Love is (still) in the air, even a week after Valentine's Day. To celebrate, Adam, Mac, and Mike head to Laurel Canyon for the Breezy life. Together, they revisit Clint Eastwood's third directorial effort -- and his first without starring in it (no, cameos don't count) -- to digress on the taboo tryst at hand, the outstanding performances of William Holden and Kay Lenz, but more importantly, how screenwriter Jo Heims is the MVP here with a crackerjack script.

It's a new year and what better way to start it off than with a bang: 1993's In the Line of Fire. Join the boys as they jog next to Wolfgang Peterson's 1993 blockbuster thriller that sees Clint Eastwood facing off against an Oscar-nominated villain turn by John Malkovich. It's a fun hang and a staple of cable television, all of which is discussed in this whopper of an episode. They also weigh in on the '90s obsession with freak villains, the boomer's meditating on '60s culture (particularly, JFK), and why three different movies make one all-timer.

As the holidays shift to winter, the boys head out to the Old West -- specifically, LaHood, California in Carbon Canyon -- to revisit Clint Eastwood's 1985 stunner Pale Rider. Together, they discuss how the Preacher relates to Clint's past Western spirits, Michael Moriarty's shocking turn, the jaw-dropping cinematography that captures a subversive autumnal and wintry vibe, and how this feels like a crossroads for Eastwood as he would round out a most precarious decade.

For Thanksgiving, the Clint crew head to Los Angeles to celebrate the holidays with ... 1990's The Rookie. The oft-forgotten action blockbuster starring Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, and an incredibly miscast Raul Julia has been shuffling around Netflix, so why not. It's also the 35th anniversary. Together, they discuss how it's a crossroads project for Clint and Charlie, a waiting room flick for Warner Bros between Lethal Weapon 2/3, and a game-changer for LA productions.
