Make My Day: A Clint Eastwood Podcast

Last month saw the boys in the Big Apple, this month they're in the City of Angels. Join Mac, Mike, and Adam as they discuss this 2002 adaptation of Michael Connelly's 1997 crime novel Blood Work. Once more, Clint was both behind and in front of the camera for this sunny slice of drama, sharing the screen with a bizarre cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Anjelica Huston, and Paul Rodriguez. Does it work? Is this a career low? Consider it the calm before the storm that would follow a year later. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

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.
