The Gauntlet | Conversations on Clint: Episode 6

This week, we're talking bullet-riddled buses, corrupt police, and 70s paranoia in one of the decade's most ludicrous action movies - "The Gauntlet." It's Eastwood's final directorial effort of the 70s, pairing him alongside his then-love interest Sandra Locke for a movie that feels like a preview to the steroided-up action flicks of the 80s.

The Outlaw Josey Wales | Conversations on Clint: Episode 5

This week, we tackle one of Eastwood's most iconic works, "The Outlaw Josey Wales," taking a look at the movie's behind-the-scenes drama, its violent vision of America post-Civil War, and one of the more contradictory characters Clint has ever played.

The Eiger Sanction | Conversations on Clint: Episode 4

Clint Eastwood attempts his own Bond franchise in this outrageous piece of 70s pulp that goes down as one of the strangest - and deadliest - movies in his catalogue. Jesse, Trace, and Jay discuss Clint's handle on the spy genre, its laughably problematic script, and the jaw-dropping mountaineering sequence that nearly saves the movie in its final third!

Breezy | Conversations on Clint: Episode 3

In this week's episode, Jesse, Jay, and Trace discuss one of Eastwood's most curious titles: 1973's "Breezy." The boys grapple with the film's May-December romance, how well it explores the collision between two drastically different generations, and the long history of hangout movies that capture the vibe of living in Los Angeles.

High Plains Drifter | Conversations on Clint: Episode 2

In this week's episode, Jesse, Jay, and Trace discuss the first of Eastwood's many westerns as a filmmaker. But, this isn't your typical tale of white hat vs. black hat heroism. The three talk about the film's vicious, almost biblical violence, the influence of spaghetti westerns on Eastwood's aesthetic, and how to wrestle with a movie so full of depravity.
