“Do you feel lucky, punk?” Join Ian, Megs & Liam for our 296th episode as we prowl the streets of San Francisco, badge in one hand and .44 Magnum in the other, for a look at Clint Eastwood's career-defining role in Dirty Harry (1971). A killer on the loose, a cop who won't play by the rules, and a city hanging in the balance—this episode asks all the right questions, even if Harry never bothers to. It's cops, criminals, and constitutional crises in our 296th episode as we ask: Yes, Dirty Harry is cool—but do women actually like this film? What's with all the nudity, and how much of it serves the story? Why does Scorpio do anything he does—and why does his logic (or lack thereof) drive us mad? How has Harry never learned what actually invalidates evidence or a confession? Law 101, Callahan! Why does the mayor keep calling him like he's on speed dial for bad PR? How deaf is the kid doing the fishing? And how long would it take for him to notice what's going on behind him? Why is Scorpio so disparate in his understanding of the value of hostages—demanding one thing one moment, then undercutting himself the next? Why doesn't the SFPD sit Harry home when he's framed on regional television? What exactly does the ending mean—resignation, rebellion, or just Eastwood being Eastwood? Which line from the film is one of the most misquoted in television history? We share some thoughts on the Charlie Kirk shooting and the public's reaction to it - are we losing our humanity? And finally: when exactly does DNA evidence become a thing—and how would it have changed the whole movie? Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

Before Call of Duty, before The Hunger Games, and long before kids with rifles were standard streaming fare, there was Red Dawn, a film where teenagers in Colorado picked up hunting rifles, hid in the woods, and waged war on the Soviet-Cuban invasion of suburban America. In 1984, World War III didn't start with a bang. It began with a history teacher getting machine-gunned through a classroom window. Wolverines, assemble. This Red Dawn 1984 Review is gunna be epic!This week on Born to Watch, the team revisits John Milius' unlikely cult classic, the first PG-13 movie ever released, and still one of the most bizarrely patriotic action flicks of its time. Whitey sets the scene: Cold War hysteria at its cinematic peak, where the solution to global conflict is apparently a football quarterback, a couple of dirt bikes, and a stash of grenades. Gow marvels at how dark and unexpectedly bleak the movie is upon rewatch. And special guest Chris, who watched this on loop in a Canadian compound in Saudi Arabia (seriously), adds depth, nostalgia, and just the right amount of North American sincerity.The pod kicks off with a bang (and a few technical apologies), diving straight into awkward romances, surprisingly competent teens, and Patrick Swayze's transition from ballet shoes to combat boots. There's plenty of love for the Outsiders alums in the cast, from Swayze to C. Thomas Howell to Charlie Sheen in his screen debut, "He looks like he's been acting for 20 years," Whitey insists. Jennifer Grey and Lea Thompson round out the '80s dream team, while Powers Boothe arrives halfway through the movie like a red-blooded Deus Ex America, delivering monologues about freedom, death, and being "super Catholic unless he needs to be super Anglican."And yes, the Wolverines' origin story is still insane. A bunch of high schoolers flee to the hills, build underground bunkers with trap doors, and become insurgents overnight. The pod breaks down every logical inconsistency and still comes away loving it: why did the Russian soldiers...take the picnic basket? Why did Darryl betray them? And how the hell did they learn to use claymores?As always, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly delivers the heat. The good? A refreshingly sincere slice of 80s teenage warfare, where death has weight and characters grow (or die trying). The bad? Avenge me! Avenge meee! Screams Harry Dean Stanton in a moment so melodramatic it becomes unintentionally iconic. And the ugly? Powers Boothe, nearly getting frisky with Lea Thompson, cut in post, thank God, but still creepy on rewatch.The conversation also swerves into great side quests. Gow takes us through Ordinary People, tying every cast member back to The Outsiders or Back to the Future in six degrees or less. Whitey flexes his film nerd muscles with a deep dive into director John Milius, writer of Apocalypse Now, Dirty Harry, and the infamous USS Indianapolis speech from Jaws. There's also the obligatory "One Degree of Kurt," tying the film back to Russell via Tombstone and Powers Boothe. Born to Watch bingo, complete.Set pieces get their due: the shock of the paratroopers in the opening scene, the forest ambush montages, the tragic final shootout between brothers. There's genuine reverence for how gritty and grim the film gets, even with its wild premise. "This movie's better than it has any right to be," is the consensus.Legacy-wise, Red Dawn didn't just launch a thousand VHS replays; it set the template for teen action cinema, and even inspired a less-than-stellar 2012 remake (which the boys pretend doesn't exist). No Oscars here, but in the Book of Born to Watch, it gets a solid star on the Walk of Cult Classics.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONShould Jed have let Darryl live?Is Red Dawn better than it should be—or just a patriotic fever dream gone rogue?Would YOU survive a Soviet invasion with nothing but camping gear and high school trauma?Please leave us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and join the rebellion.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

With seven decades in film and television, Clint Eastwood is undeniably a Hollywood institution. Emerging first as a star in Westerns, then as the embattled cop in the Dirty Harry films, the ninety-five-year-old filmmaker has directed forty features and appeared in more than sixty. The film critic Richard Brody just reviewed a new biography of Eastwood. “What fascinated me above all are the origins of Clint Eastwood-ness—the way he had an aura that preceded him before his career in movies.”  Brody joins David Remnick to pick three of the films that set Eastwood apart as an artist: “Play Misty for Me,” his 1971 directorial début; “Bird,” his bio-pic about Charlie Parker; and “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks as the heroic pilot Chesley Sullenberger.

6. August – Tag des Atombombenabwurfs auf Hiroshima vor 80 Jahren | Von Uwe Froschauer

Ein Standpunkt von Uwe Froschauer.Hiroshima und Nagasaki„Vor sechzehn Stunden hat ein amerikanisches Flugzeug eine Bombe auf Hiroshima abgeworfen, einen wichtigen japanischen Armeestützpunkt. Diese Bombe hatte mehr Sprengkraft als 20.000 Tonnen TNT. [...] Wir haben zwei Milliarden Dollar für das größte wissenschaftliche Wagnis der Geschichte ausgegeben – und gewonnen.“ (Harry Truman)So die offizielle, in schriftlicher Form veröffentlichte Erklärung vom 6. August 1945, dem Tag des Atombombenabwurfs auf Hiroshima. Wie ein Kriegsverbrechen dieses Ausmaßes ein Gewinn für irgendjemanden sein kann, ist mir als Humanist ein Rätsel.Die Nachricht von diesem „größten wissenschaftlichen Wagnis der Geschichte“ – besser: „größten Verbrechen der Geschichte“ – erhielt der amerikanische Präsident Harry Truman am 6. August 1945 – der Tag des Atombombenabwurfs – an Bord des Kreuzers „Augusta“, auf der Heimfahrt von der Potsdamer Konferenz. Vor Begeisterung über dieses „phänomenale“ Ereignis völlig aus dem Häuschen lief Dirty Harry auf dem Schiff umher, um die „frohe“ Botschaft anderen Menschen an Bord zu verkünden.„Jubilate Deo. Lobet Gott. Wir haben 318.000 Japaner getötet. [...] Wie kann die Welt eine solche Freude überleben? Solche Jubelrufe über solch eine Zerstörung? Ich schreibe dies im Monat der Atombombe, im zwanzigsten Jahr des atomaren Zeitalters.“ (Dorothy Day, The Catholic Worker (August 1945))Dorothy Day – eine tiefgläubige Katholikin – war eine der wenigen katholischen Stimmen, die sich sofort und kompromisslos gegen den Einsatz der Atombombe wandte. Day war nicht politisch motiviert – sie schrieb diese sarkastischen Zeilen aus tiefer religiöser und ethischer Überzeugung. Sie widmete ihr Leben und Wirken dem katholischen Glauben, insbesondere dem Evangelium und der sozialen Lehre der Kirche.Einen Monat später schrieb Dorothy Day:„Herr Truman war jubelnd. Präsident Truman. ‚Wahrer Mensch‘ – welch merkwürdiger Name, wenn man einmal darüber nachdenkt. Wir bezeichnen Jesus Christus als wahren Gott und wahren Menschen. Truman ist ein wahrer Mensch seiner Zeit, insofern war er jubelnd. Er war nicht ein Sohn Gottes, Bruder Christi, Bruder der Japaner, der jubelte, wie er es tat. Er ging von Tisch zu Tisch auf dem Kreuzer, der ihn von der Konferenz der Großen Drei nach Hause brachte, und verkündete die große Nachricht; ‚jubelnd‘, sagten die Zeitungen. Jubilate Deo. Wir haben 318.000 Japaner getötet.“ (The Catholic Worker Response to Hiroshima (September 1945))Harry Truman begriff die Atombombe anscheinend als Gottesgeschenk an die Menschheit. Und weil er die Menschheit weiter beglücken wollte, ließ er drei Tage später, am 9. August 1945, gleich noch eine Plutoniumbombe mit dem Namen „Fat Man“ auf Nagasaki werfen.Die erste, mit angereichertem Uran versehene Bombe auf Hiroshima hieß „Little Boy“. Diesen Namen – und auch den der zweiten Bombe – hat ihr der Physiker Robert Serber verpasst, weil das Design der Uranbombe lang und schlank war. Wie poetisch! In Kontrast zu dem „kleinen Mann“ war die zweite Bombe auf Nagasaki „Fat Man“ runder und dicker. Lustig. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

This week on Born to Watch, the boys dive sunglasses-first into their Cobra (1986) Review, Sylvester Stallone's 80s fever dream of fascist fashion, cult chaos, and cheeseball one-liners. In a time when Sly was king of the box office, rocking Rambo and Rocky, he went rogue and gave us… Marion Cobretti. Part cop, part Terminator, all denim.Whitey, G-Man, and Morgz try to unpack this absurd Dirty Harry knockoff that's equal parts vanity project and testosterone overdose. From the opening monologue's completely made-up crime stats to the gratuitous axe-wielding cult, nothing about Cobra makes sense, and that's half the fun.But it's not all bullets and bravado. The team takes a hard look at Stallone's creative control (spoiler: he shouldn't have had any), the film's bizarre product placement (Pepsi, anyone?), and a montage that includes Brigitte Nielsen posing with robots to a Robert Tepper deep cut. Seriously.Gow marvels at the buckle boots and slasher absurdities, Dan questions why Cobra opens a warm beer just to throw it, and Whitey can't believe this was supposed to be the start of a franchise. There's praise for the poster, grief for the editing, and unfiltered confusion about the serial killer cult that clinks axes in an abandoned pool.Also in this episode:An explosive “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment where “ugly” takes on new meaningA wild tangent into Canadian trailer parks and Gow's legendary exploits as the “Ten Slayer”A bonus voicemail from our mate XR8 Chupperz, who wants answers about Canadian bar fights and Gow's taste in trailer park womenAs the crew reflects on Cobra's place in 1986 cinema, surrounded by giants like Top Gun, Aliens, and Platoon, they ask the big questions: Could this have been good with a different cut? Did anyone actually direct this thing? And is “You're a disease, and I'm the cure” the greatest dumb action line ever written?Spoiler alert: Cobra ends with 41 confirmed kills. Stallone doesn't just clean up crime; he clears the census.So if you love muscle-bound madness, slashers in stocking masks, or just want to laugh at a movie that takes itself way too seriously, this episode is for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Cobra a misunderstood action gem or just a flaming dumpster fire of denim and ego?Would you ride shotgun with Cobretti or run from his gun with the custom Cobra logo?

That's right we watched Dirty Harry a thinly disguised zodiac killer movie made during the height of the zodiac killings in the bay area. Did we love it? Was Cyndi surprised at how good Andrew Robinson's Scorpio Killer was? Did it scare her to death? Join us this week to find out and make our day.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly Shawn Levy's New Book Clint The Man And The Movies

CLINT is the first major biography of Eastwood in over twenty years. Two of the most prominent earlier biographies were both comprehensive in covering the work and the life, but approached Eastwood with wildly different perspectives. One was fawning and overly respectful, ignoring any of Eastwood's faults, while the other one came at Eastwood harshly and didn't reckon with Eastwood as an actor and director as much as it focused on his personal missteps and failings. These books were also, obviously, unable to cover the substantial and award-winning work that Eastwood has produced in the 21st century. In covering the life and work of Eastwood, Levy's CLINT takes the middle ground, "where Clint and his work could be described and evaluated from a position of neither acquiescence nor denigration. It was possible for a book to celebrate the man and his work and deeds while acknowledging the flaws-and worse-in him, his choices, and, yes, his films."In a career spanning more than six decades, Clint Eastwood has captured the rugged essence of American manhood and morality, both on and off the screen. We picture him most immediately as he has appeared to us on screen: squinting through cigarillo smoke in A Fistful of Dollars or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly imposing rough justice at the point of a .44 Magnum in Dirty Harry; sowing moral vengeance in The Outlaw Josey Wales or Pale Rider; abandoning farming for murder-for-hire in Unforgiven; grudgingly training a woman boxer in Million Dollar Baby; standing up for his neighbors despite his racism toward them in Gran Torino. But those are roles, however well-cast and convincing, and they are two-dimensional in comparison to the whole life. The reality of Clint Eastwood is far more rich, knotty, and absorbing-a saga of cunning, determination, and conquest, a great American story about a man ascending to the Hollywood pantheon while keeping a gimlet eye on its ways and habits and one foot firmly planted outside its door.Yet, the story of Clint Eastwood is far more than his cinematic characters. As a director, he has crafted masterful narratives, winning thirteen Oscars, including two for Best Picture. His films explore American cultural and political climates with depth and understanding, embodying the contradictions and triumphs of contemporary America.But beyond the screen, who is Clint Eastwood?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Other topics this segment include a look at such other notable character actors as Andrew Robinson, Richard Farnsworth, and Wilford Brimley; why Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are really “character actors” at heart; and why Lonesome Dove remains one of Mick's favorite movies.

In the aftermath of DIRTY HARRY, there were plenty of films looking to get in on the semi-legal vigilante craze. One of the most successful of these was Phil Karlson's WALKING TALL, starring the great, recently departed Joe Don Baker as real-life Tennessee lawman Buford Pusser, who was all too willing to tell the world how he beat the corruption out of McNairy County with a fencepost.

Clint Eastwood might be known for playing grizzled, hard-as-nails lawmen, but in our In the Line of Fire (1993) Review, he takes things in a different direction, just slightly. This week, the Born to Watch crew dives into this overlooked 90s political thriller that pits Eastwood's aging Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan against one of cinema's most memorable villains: John Malkovich as the terrifying Mitch Leary.Whitey, G-Man, and Will “The Worky” are in studio to unpack the deadly game of cat and mouse that unfolds in Wolfgang Petersen's taut, tense, and occasionally trope-heavy flick. What follows is a mix of movie breakdowns, personal throwbacks, accidental roastings, and a bold declaration that Malkovich might just rival Hannibal Lecter as one of the great screen psychopaths.Eastwood: Still Got It (But Also, He's 63) Gow calls Eastwood's performance “Dirty Harry with a blue pill next to the bed.” Whitey thinks it's flirty, even charming, a rare side of Clint. Will just seems shocked that he's now the Born to Watch Eastwood expert. The team debates whether Frank Horrigan is one of Clint's best post-Unforgiven roles or just another iteration of his go-to tough guy with a badge and a haunted past.Malkovich: BAFTA Noms, Creepy Vibes, and a Murderous Basement John Malkovich steals the show as Mitch Leary, a former CIA assassin with a grudge, a creepy lair that looks suspiciously like Buffalo Bill's basement, and a habit of tormenting Clint over the phone. His calm delivery, terrifying intensity, and sheer unpredictability earned him an Academy Award nomination and earned our crew's unanimous praise. The guys marvel at his screen presence, his range, and yes, his mysterious career choices.'90s Tropes and Why We Love Them The gang agrees: In the Line of Fire is soaked in ‘90s action movie tropes, and that's not a complaint. From overbearing chiefs of staff and cheesy one-liners to conveniently timed sniper reveals and romantic subplots with massive age gaps, the movie wears its era on its sleeve. Renee Russo's chemistry with Clint is questionable at best, and her role sparks a deep (and hilarious) debate about whether she's “a good sort” or a “right-light good sort.”Clint's Dating Age Gap: A Cinematic Tradition With Eastwood at 63 and Russo at 39, the romantic tension raises eyebrows. “She's two years younger than his daughter,” Whitey points out. “It could've been a father-daughter thing.” The conversation doesn't stop there; it spirals into references to Seinfeld, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Monty Burns.Cat, Mouse, and Jazz Piano This movie isn't just about bullets and bravado — it's got emotional weight too. Frank's regret over JFK's assassination adds gravitas to the plot, and the constant tension between him and Leary plays out over landlines and cassette recorders. The team loves the phone calls, the psychological warfare, and yes, Clint's real-life jazz piano skills.IN THIS EPISODE:Eastwood's “grizzled flirt” energy gets ratedMalkovich's villain performance gets compared to movie greatsThe trailer's original JFK-themed edit sparks a nostalgic digression‘90s newsagents, porno mags, and the glory days of inside sport magazinesDamo cops heat in the Snobs Report beef from a random footy guyIt's a movie about obsession, redemption, and running beside the presidential limo at 60+.

Clint Eastwood returns as the iconic, no-nonsense Inspector Callahan, this time tackling vigilante justice and delivering one of the most famous lines in movie history. The hosts break down the film's darker tone, Eastwood's directorial style, and how Sudden Impact fits into the evolving action genre of the early '80s. Plus, plenty of talk about coffee shops, revenge plots, and Dirty Harry's unshakable scowl.

You didn’t ask for it, but it’s here. Jordan and Alex were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should, so it’s the first-ever TMI: Oops, All Digressions! With the attention span of an addled TikToker and the niche interests of a minorly urbane shut-in, your friendly hosts started this episode with but a few brief notes and then just let their precious little minds wander willy-nilly. For starters: did you know there was a horror subgenre called ‘Hagsploitation?’ Along the way they’ll get into the preposterous notion that Frank Sinatra was originally tapped to play Dirty Harry, along with Liz Taylor's marital issues, haunted recording sessions for David Bowie and Meat Loaf, Marlon Brando's hatred of Muppets, the rumors of Grace Kelly's premature death, and how Tippi Hendren moved on from her oppressive contract with Alfred Hitchcock by living with lions and starring in the most dangerous movie ever made.
