Clint Eastwood, en justicier jusquʹauboutiste, brandissant son Magnum 44 demande sʹil a tiré 5 ou 6 balles. Cʹest culte. Mais cʹest violent. Et cʹest dans lʹInspecteur Harry, Dirty Harry, de Don Siegel sorti en 1971, un film qui va littéralement cliver lʹAmérique. Cʹest un des films policiers les plus influents et les plus controversés jamais réalisé. Clint Eastwood est Harry Callahan, un flic désabusé, solitaire, qui devient une sorte de Vigilante et butte contre le système, face à un psychopathe, Scorpio, joué par Andrew Robinson. Le Vigilante, cʹest une sorte de justicier, quelquʹun qui repousse les limites de la loi, les frontières professionnelles et morales pour appliquer sa propre vision de la justice. Le film débarque sur les écrans en 1971. Un période charnière où lʹAmérique est en crise. Cʹest un film reflet, un symptôme du regain de violence urbaine de la société américaine du début des années 70 Les utopies de la décennie précédente subissent un reflux brutal aux Etats-Unis empêtrés dans le bourbier de la guerre du Vietnam, les émeutes raciales et les scandales politiques. A Hollywood, le cinéma policier et le western vont rendre compte de cette crise morale et sociale avec des films critiques et démythificateurs. Le public adore. La critique le conspue, on fustige lʹultra violence, le patriotisme, la misogynie et Clint Eastwood sʹenferme dans un personnage de brute pour le plus grand plaisir des cinéphiles. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, la musique de Lalo Schifrin, les images de Don Siegel, San Francisco à lʹaube des années 70, Clint Eastwood et son personnage de Dirty Harry, on va vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des anecdotes, des extraits, beaucoup dʹarchives, pour évoquer, lʹInspecteur Harry est une production qui mêle habilement simplicité et raffinement et crée des personnages iconiques.

On episode 357 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Josh Parham and Karen Peterson to go back 55 years and take a look at the 44th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1971. In another Oscar retrospective, the team go back this week to the start of the 1970s, where Hollywood was in a transition period within the films of the past; costume dramas and period pieces, and the films that would dominate the decade; auteur, original filmmaking from new voices in cinema. One of those voices was director William Friedkin, who broke big in 1971 with The French Connection, a neo-noir, action thriller about a narcotics detective trying to take down a big-time, connected drug dealer. The film was a massive success for the director and its star Gene Hackman, with the Academy awarding them Oscar gold. But will the team let Friedkin and company keep their Oscars? The Best Picture winner, alongside A Clockwork Orange, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Devils, A New Leaf, Dirty Harry, The Last Picture Show, Nicholas and Alexandra, Fiddler on the Roof, Harold and Maude, and more were mentioned on the show. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1971, briefly discuss talk about The French Connection as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h26m. We will be back next week to talk about the latest film from the director David Robert Mitchell, The End of Oak Street. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

On this week's show, someone's rusty but it's not the host who was on vacation last week. There's an Eisners diversion, a look back on how things have changed, and just who is Rick Corrigan?

It's time to celebrate another milestone! For the 160th episode of Missing Frames, Shawn welcomes back longtime friend Brad Gullickson for another installment of their ongoing "anniversary series," a tradition that began nearly a decade ago with Episode 30: Dirty Harry. This time, Brad introduces Shawn to one of the most influential crime films of the 1960s: John Boorman's Point Blank, starring the incomparable Lee Marvin. On paper, Point Blank is a simple revenge story. A criminal is betrayed, left for dead, and sets out to collect the money he's owed and murder the ones who wronged him. But under Boorman's direction, what begins as a hard-boiled thriller evolves into something dreamlike, hypnotic, and unlike almost anything Hollywood was producing in 1967.Along the way, Shawn and Brad discuss the film's unforgettable supporting cast, which includes the likes of Angie Dickinson and John Vernon, and ponder how the film ultimately becomes a meditation on identity, obsession, and emotional emptiness.HOSTSShawn EastridgeBrad Gullickson

Joe Don Baker is framed (duh) for a crime he didn't commit, so he commits several violent crimes to find out who set him up and why in this sleazy, sweaty, brutal southern-fried exploitation classic that features some of the most violent fights and craziest stunts you've ever seen. Anthony Abatte joins me to talk about this underseen gem, and we also go over our recent obsessions with James Bond and Dirty Harry movies. Content Warning for sexual assault discussion: One of the people who wrote Framed did some extremely unpleasant things, and we discuss that.

We liked these 3 episodes a lot better than the first 3. Dan gives all sorts of spoilers, then reminds us that this is a "re-watch podcast".

When Josh Flanagan's voice abandon's him right before the show, it's up to a sleep-addled Conor Kilpatrick to pick up the vocal slack, but definitely not the mental slack, apparently.

Clint Eastwood just turned 96 — older than the talkies, a man who's been alive for every talking picture ever made. Which got Rob thinking about Dirty Harry and a 1952 thriller almost nobody remembers called The Sniper: same city, same crime, same rooftops, 19 years apart, and two completely different Americas. You can read the country off them like rings on a tree. Or, you can just write them off and refer to the films as “dated” — a grave mistake, according to Rob. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns are back with another episode of The Next Reel, and this time they are taking on one of the best debates in movie fandom: what movies did critics get completely wrong? Before getting to their Top 5 lists of movies critics hated but they personally love, Lance and Tyler recap everything they watched recently, including classic films, thrillers, horror, comedies, reboots, franchise movies, box office surprises, and nostalgic favorites. This episode covers everything from classic Clint Eastwood crime thrillers like Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, to the tense Nicole Kidman thriller Dead Calm, the disappointing return of Scary Movie 6, the messy Masters of the Universe reboot, and a theatrical rewatch of The Backrooms. Lance and Tyler also break down the massive box office success of Obsession, a low-budget film that exploded into a nearly $200 million phenomenon, and compare its word-of-mouth success to some of the biggest movie surprises of all time. Then, the guys dive into the main event: a spoiler-safe countdown of their favorite movies that received harsh reviews, low critic scores, or poor Rotten Tomatoes ratings — but still deserve love from real movie fans. Are critics too harsh on certain genres? Do comedy, action, nostalgia, and crowd-pleasing blockbusters get unfairly dismissed? And are there some so-called “bad movies” that are actually great? If you love movie reviews, film podcasts, Rotten Tomatoes debates, underrated movies, cult classics, rewatchable films, nostalgic favorites, bad reviews vs audience scores, and passionate arguments about the movies critics got wrong, this episode of The Next Reel is for you. Drop your favorite movie that critics hated but you still love in the comments. Did Rotten Tomatoes get it wrong? Are critics out of touch? Or are some movies just more fun than their reviews suggest?

In the latest installment of SJ's Video Weltanschauung, Dimitri and Khalid dissect the Silent Majority's cinematic counterattack on early ‘70s San Francisco Bay Area leftism: “Dirty Harry” and its four sequels. Topics include: “Dirty Harry” as the ur-text of modern American cop dramas/action movies, the Bay Area counterculture from the POV of the pig, Harry's implied neurodivergence (shades of Cobra), the new Criminal Subject who's Just That Evil and cannot be bargained with or understood, New Hollywood fashlord John Milius, the PTK'd Vietnam Vet undertones of the first three films, the SLA-inspired villains of “The Enforcer”, the triumph of political amnesia during the Reagan Years, Ronnie quoting Harry's “Go ahead, make my day!” line in a fight over welfare cuts, the sinister Spectacle-Secrecy dialectic, and much more… For access to full-length premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad.

A journey through the deeper side of soulful house, where timeless voices, uplifting melodies, and warm grooves come together under one roof. This selection brings together some of the finest names in the genre, from the unmistakable soul of Black Coffee, Miguel Migs, Mousse T., DJ Spen, Sean McCabe, Brian Tappert, Cafe 432, The Shapeshifters, and Sam Ruffillo, alongside legendary vocalists including Evelyn “Champagne” King, Kim English, Monique Bingham, Angela Johnson, Terry Dexter, and Rona Ray. Expect moments of pure musical sunshine as classics are reimagined, dancefloor anthems are given new life, and soulful vocals float effortlessly across deep, uplifting rhythms. From the emotional pull of “Open My Heart” and “Love Come Down” to the uplifting energy of “Supernatural,” “Close Your Eyes,” and “Solid Ground,” every record has been chosen to create a feeling rather than simply fill a dancefloor. Threaded throughout the mix are a collection of original productions from The Funk Assassin — “Blue Moon Beach,” “Blue Moonlit River,” “Blue Moonlight In My Soul,” “Balearic Blue Moon,” and the closing track “Carry You Home.” These original pieces serve as the heart of the journey, inspired by sunset coastlines, moonlit reflections, Balearic escapism, and the soulful house records that have shaped dancefloors for decades. This is music for open-air terraces, late-night conversations, sunrise moments, and anyone who still believes house music should move both your feet and your soul. TRACK LIST: 1.

Movie of the Year: 1971The Finale, Part IIThe 1971 Film Finale Podcast: One Champion RemainsThe 1971 film finale podcast brings the Taste Buds' most ambitious bracket season to its definitive conclusion. Ryan, Mike, and Greg have debated, dismissed, and championed their way through a remarkable field — and now eight films remain. In this episode, four Elite Eight matchups collapse into a single champion, and five major awards close out the season before the final verdict arrives.Furthermore, this finale caps a season that has included some of the most provocative, challenging, and enduring films ever made. From Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange to William Friedkin's The French Connection, the 1971 bracket has consistently rewarded listeners willing to sit with difficult, boundary-pushing work. The season also covered Straw Dogs, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and Dirty Harry — each one generating strong arguments before falling short of the Elite Eight.Additionally, five competitive award categories — Best Sex, Best Violence, Musical Moment, Best Actor, and Best Actress — draw nominees from across the full season. Consequently, this episode stands as the richest and most content-dense installment of the year.ContentsThe Elite Eight MatchupsThe 1971 AwardsWhy the 1971 Film Finale Podcast Still MattersRelated EpisodesFAQThe Elite Eight MatchupsEight films enter. One leaves as the 1971 champion. The Taste Buds structured the Elite Eight around four head-to-head matchups, and each one forces a different kind of critical argument.A Clockwork Orange vs. The DevilsTwo of the year's most transgressive films meet in the first matchup. A Clockwork Orange arrived as a season-long frontrunner — a Kubrick film operating at the height of his formal powers, one that the Taste Buds covered in depth on their dedicated episode. Ken Russell's The Devils, meanwhile, delivers a fever dream of religious hysteria and state violence that stands as one of the most divisive films the Taste Buds have discussed all season. Moreover, this matchup poses a pointed question: which film earns its provocation more honestly? Both demand something from the viewer. However, only one advances.Harold and Maude vs. McCabe and Mrs. MillerHarold and Maude represents the season's most warmly beloved film — a dark comedy about love, death, and radical living that generated some of the most enthusiastic podcast discussion of the year. By contrast, Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller offers a revisionist Western suffused with melancholy and moral exhaustion, its beauty inseparable from its grief. Both films carry passionate advocates among the Taste Buds. Consequently, this matchup ranks among the tightest and most personal bracket debates of the entire season. Above all, it asks whether warmth or ache makes the stronger lasting impression.Wanda vs. The ConformistBarbara Loden's Wanda — a micro-budget American independent masterwork — faces Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist, a visually ravishing Italian political drama. Notably, both films center on characters adrift in systems designed to diminish them. Nevertheless, they arrive at very different emotional endpoints: Wanda drifts, the Conformist spirals. The Taste Buds' arguments in this matchup reveal as much about their own critical values as about the films themselves. In practice, this is the bracket's most purely cinephile debate.The French Connection vs. The Last Picture ShowThe bracket's most commercially dominant film — The French Connection, winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture — faces Peter Bogdanovich's elegiac The Last Picture Show. In practice, this matchup pits Hollywood's muscular genre filmmaking against its more introspective New Wave ambitions. As a result, the debate cuts to the heart of what 1971 cinema actually achieved. Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle and the dusty streets of Anarene, Texas, represent two entirely different ideas of what a great film should do — and the Taste Buds have strong opinions on which idea wins.The 1971 AwardsBefore the bracket champion is named, the Taste Buds present five awards covering the full sweep of the season. This Movie of the Year 1971 podcast segment features each host nominating the moments they found most memorable, daring, or essential — and the resulting field spans an extraordinary range of films and tones.Best SexThe nominees range from the tender to the violent to the surreal, drawing from three different films and three distinct registers of human sexuality.Jacy and Abilene — The Last Picture ShowThe Pool Party — The Last Picture ShowThe Rape of Christ — The DevilsThe Sex Duel with the Biker Gang — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongYoung Sweetback and the Sex Worker — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongBest ViolenceThe nominees span the full tonal range of 1971 action filmmaking — from Dirty Harry's iconic bank robbery standoff to the slow, aching finality of McCabe dying alone in the snow.The Car Chase — The French ConnectionHarry Foils a Bank Robbery — Dirty HarryThe Kid Kills the Cowboy — McCabe and Mrs. MillerThe Ludovico Technique — A Clockwork OrangeMcCabe Dies Alone in the Snow — McCabe and Mrs. MillerMusical MomentThe nominees here demonstrate just how varied 1971's soundtrack was — Cat Stevens, Beethoven, and Gene Wilder all make the shortlist.Maude Sings "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" — Harold and MaudeOpening Funeral March — A Clockwork Orange"Pure Imagination" — Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"Singin' in the Rain" — A Clockwork OrangeThe Tango — The ConformistBest Actor The five nominees represent the full range of 1971 male performance — from Hackman's coiled rage to Wilder's heartbreaking wonder. Additionally, this category generated some of the most contested debates in the entire 1971 film podcast season.Warren Beatty — McCabe and Mrs. MillerGene Hackman — The French ConnectionOliver Reed — The DevilsJean-Louis Trintignant — The ConformistGene Wilder —

“Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry, every dirty job that comes along.”Just as audiences didn't know how much they needed Dirty Harry until he showed up on a movie screen in 1971, residents of Los Angeles had no idea how much they needed Spencer Pratt until they saw him face off against two of the leading candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.Bass and Raman couldn't even answer simple questions, like whether illegal immigrants should be able to vote or whether there should be homeless encampments outside elementary schools. And every time the camera cut to Pratt, his reaction was always the same: “ You have got to be kidding me.”He spoke truths no one in the Democratic Party ever could or would because they don't have to. They are never asked hard questions they don't already have answers to, and they are never challenged as directly as they were by Spencer Pratt.They're also protected by the legacy media, by Hollywood, by late-night comedy. As long as they properly virtue signal and obey the rules of Woketopia, no one ever holds them accountable for the problems in a city overrun by crime, drugs, and homelessness. Until now.Pratt wiped up the floor with Bass and Raman, so much so that they have now dropped out of a debate by the League of Women Voters that would have been held on May 13th. Now, it's been canceled because someone, somewhere, told them they'd do better if they employed the Biden basement strategy: stay out of sight and let the system win the election. The Democrats and Hollywood have the same problem. They can't tell the truth. Just as in 1971, when Dirty Harry sliced through the pretense like a hot knife through ice cream, so too has Spencer Pratt gotten our attention with his innovative campaign and simple, common-sense messaging, in an entertaining, imaginative way. True, AI might be the beginning of the end, but the way Pratt uses it has expanded the possibilities. With the help of Charles Curran, whose studio is responsible for many of these, we can now see how useful AI can be for creating an effective, viral campaign ad without the heavy lift of an entire production company and millions of dollars in campaign funds. This is AI at a grassroots level, but in its own way, it's also artful commentary, the kind we never see aimed at the Left.AI, now in Pratt's hands, poses an unpredictable threat to the opposition, who will figure it out soon enough. It is also a threat to Hollywood for the same reasons. It doesn't have to be politically correct or rely on partisan celebrities to approve of the messaging. AI also cuts through the noise, like Dirty Harry, like Spencer Pratt, because it represents freedom at a time of extremely oppressive micro-managing over all culture, and film especially.Dirty Harry was politically incorrect, but it told the truth at a time when most people were too afraid to talk about the soft-on-crime policies in the wake of the counterculture revolution. Too many rapes and serial killers on the rise, too many hippies, the Zodiac killer, the Manson murders - crime was everywhere, yet the culture of the time wasn't exactly tuned in. If critics in the 1970s thought Dirty Harry was fascist, as Pauline Kael did, ordinary Americans - Nixon's Silent Majority - felt seen.And now, residents of Los Angeles, many of them too poor to afford homes in the gated communities of the rich and famous who fund Mayor Karen Bass, might feel seen in the passionate messaging of Spencer Pratt. His voice is urgent in a time of complacency. He sees the problems the Left ignores. He speaks the truth when everyone else parrots the comforting lies. Los Angeles has been neglected for far too long, with the wildfires that burned down Pratt's home becoming the tipping point. It was time for someone to rise up and say enough is enough. They don't know how to deal with a shooting star like Pratt. When the Democrats try to dismiss him as a fame-hungry reality star, he hits them with something moving and undeniable. It's true that Pratt was the enfant terrible of a mid-aughts reality show called The Hills. Not exactly the kind of leader people who shop at Erewon after doing hot yoga on La Brea have in mind for a leader. But his sincerity shines through. This is personal, and we can feel it. He says Bass has the unions and the money, but he has the moms. He has Democrats and Conservatives backing him. They call him MAGA, but he really isn't. He is the first politician who is genuinely attempting to run a non-partisan campaign and actually reach across the aisle, which is exactly the hero America needs right now, not just in LA, but everywhere. It's hard not to be won over by Spencer Pratt because he is so sincere. All of that manic bluster from the old days of The Hills has clearly been transformed by the trauma of his house burning down in a fire that the city should have been more prepared for, to put it mildly. He is campaigning like he means it, projecting the kind of urgency many Los Angeles residents feel every day as they watch their government do nothing to change things. Why has no one ever even bothered asking these questions? Because they are too afraid. The problems in LA have been ignored for far too long. The street takeovers that terrorize the working-class parts of the city.Random attacks of violence:Crime and drugs in parks that should be safe for families. And of course, the 70,000+ homeless population, only a small percentage of which choose to be sheltered. Whether you pay money or give food or try to help the people on the street, it almost always comes back to the same hard truth: they are mostly wild things of the street who do not want to follow the rules of shelters, either because they don't allow pets or they don't allow drugs and alcohol, or they can't be inside anywhere without burning the place down. And there are so many rich people in LA willing to give them money. Why would they give it up? And this you are not even allowed to think or say, lest you be condemned as heartless.There are decent people in LA, people I know, who have spent their lives devoted to trying to help. They want the story to be that many of them can't afford to live in a country run by billionaires. But the truth is harder to face. The truth is that many of them should not be on the streets because they're a harm to themselves or to others. The truth is that many of them are extremely mentally ill or lifelong drug addicts.It's so bad now that reports have emerged that addicts are testing dogs to see if the drugs are safe. The dogs are chained. The dogs are fighting. The dogs are starving. For every dog that's well taken care of, there are far more that are being horrifically abused, and Spencer Pratt cares enough to talk about it. A Tale of Two CitiesLos Angeles is two cities. In one, the wealthy make movies and drive through their protected, gated parking lots, then retreat to their homes in gated communities in the hills. Sunset Boulevard is a showcase for that mask of extreme wealth, like Malibu, Beverly Hills, and the Platinum Triangle.Spencer Pratt's home was in the wealthy enclave of the Pacific Palisades, which burned to rubble during the wildfires. By all rights, he should be protecting the wealthy, who were his neighbors. He's a guy who went to Crossroads, after all, the school where celebrities send their kids. That isn't what he's doing. He's speaking now for the everyday resident of the city, whether rich or poor. He wants to clean up the streets. He wants to fix what's broken. He wants the streets, parks, and schools to be safe for kids and families, and he wants to save the dogs. Do we hear any of the Democrats talking about this?In 2009, a 17-year-old named Lily Burk drove to downtown LA to run an errand for her mother and to practice her driving. She attended one of those expensive private schools in North Hollywood and had a promising future. She was abducted by a registered sex offender with a rap sheet who'd left a treatment facility that day. He demanded that she get him money from the ATM, but she only had a credit card. He smashed her face against the dashboard and slit her throat. Half an hour later, he was drinking beer and smoking crack on Skid Row before the police even found Burk's body.I remember that story. I remember how awkward it was to talk about because the perp was black and Burk was white. But for me, it was a wakeup call, and I instilled in my daughter the message: do not be a guilty liberal. Protect yourself. Be afraid, no matter what. But it was a secret that passed between us, one we could never say out loud. That is what it is like to live as a progressive in LA. The problem of crime and homelessness in LA is like the problem of illegal immigration. No one talks about those who are murdered, but that is the baseline of what American citizens deserve. These are crimes that could have been prevented if only we could tell the truth and our politicians had listened. Dirty Harry was a hit. Audiences were hungry for his brand of justice, where the bad guys get what's coming to them because Harry Callahan cuts through the bureaucracy and enacts his own brand of justice. America, then as now, was shifting away from the wild days of the hippie revolution and toward a more secure, safer America by 1980, with Ronald Reagan. Dirty Harry was only the beginning. Spencer Pratt might not win. LA is as blue as it gets. I don't live there anymore. I wish I did, just so I could vote for him. But in a way, it doesn't really change what his presence in politics has meant to so many of us - especially those of us in California who know the game and have gotten so sick of playing it. We need more heroes who can speak the truth. Spencer Pratt has arrived just in time. This is a public episode.

Survivor AU: Redemption Caleb Beeby Deep Dive Australian Survivor: Redemption reaches its wild conclusion as host Mike Bloom welcomes winner Caleb Beeby for the season’s final deep dive. This episode breaks down every twist, big move, and shocking Tribal Council from Caleb's 45-day adventure. From starting as an underdog and truck driver to navigating cutthroat alliances and making game-defining decisions, Caleb shares the raw truths behind the chaos—including the toughest blindsides and the strategies that got him to the end. Listeners get an inside look at how Caleb built the Cornship Cartel from day one, worked undercover as a double agent between Mark and Johnson's alliances, and almost got caught juggling secrets. Caleb details bold plays, like leading the “year of the underdogs” speech, parading in Dirty Harry's clothes after a vote, and teaching allies to make fire—only to beat them when it counted. Key Tribal Councils are unpacked, featuring chaotic idol mishaps, wild vote splits, and the relentless push to take out returning players. The agony and emotion of the final endurance challenge come to life, as does the reasoning behind that jaw-dropping move to vote out closest ally Laws at Final 3 for half a million dollars. Caleb reveals how he juggled alliances without losing trust—most of the time. Learn how the Redemption Beach twist forced big moves and risky loyalties. Catch the behind-the-scenes tale of the shock double vote and Dirty Harry's shirt. See how a social bond and clear confessionals shaped the endgame—and the jury's thinking. Find out what went into the final, gut-wrenching decision to cut Laws at the last hurdle. Will new strategies replace big threats with chaos or order next season? How much risk is too much when your name keeps landing on the parchment? Tune in for the full breakdown of blindsides, idol plays, and game-saving moves that defined Caleb's win.

Note: This episode was recorded before the death of Gerry Conway, who wrote two of the stories we talk about. The Punisher is gearing up for a busy summer on the big and small screens (with Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Punisher: One Last Kill, respectively). So what better time to dive into some key early stories charting the evolution of everyone's favorite gun-toting vigilante? We start with a look at the Punisher's pop-culture inspirations, including the Executioner and Dirty Harry, before discussing his first appearance in 1974's Amazing Spider-Man #129, where he joins forces with (wait, this can't be right, can it?) the Jackal to take down your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler! Then it's on to Marvel Preview #2 from that same year, in which we learn the tragic backstory behind his one-man war on crime! Finally, we jump ahead a few years to Daredevil #183-184 and a gritty, street-level take on the character that's closer to the version we're all familiar with. Is our (anti)hero just a poor judge of character? What type of story suits him best? And can our surly sentinel of the streets survive a frontal assault from that Whack Attack known as … The Comics Canon? In This Episode: What happened to Curt on our April 1 episode? The Spotmaker Punisher War Journal #19 Punisher: Circle of Blood (1986) Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Questions about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot Join us in two weeks as we delve into the acclaimed three-part series Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Jiminez, Gene Ha and Nicola Scott!

This week we dive into Clint Eastwood's 1971 crime/thriller, Dirty Harry. Harry is tasked to investigate the killings in San Francisco by a man named "Scorpio".

"Crime is the disease. Meet the Cure.""The strong arm of the law."Back in the spring and summer of 1986, those were among several snappy taglines for this highly anticipated action thriller starring Oscar-winner Sylvester Stallone as his direct follow-up to TWO smash successes lead by him the previous year: Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rocky IV.  THIS time, he was playing the ultimate cop named Marion Cobretti (nickname: Cobra) who was on the hunt around Los Angeles for a brutal serial killer (or serial killers?) named the Night Slasher played by veteran character Brian Thompson (The Terminator, Miracle Mile, The X-Files).  This film was directed by George P. Cosmatos (Rambo, Tombstone) though apparently it ended up being co-directed by Stallone himself.  There was much hype for this film when it was released in May 1986 though the reviews were pretty poor, mostly related to its very simplistic plot and extreme violence and.....it did ok at the box office.  It wasn't the blockbuster which it was expected to be but the film made solid money at the worldwide box office.  Since then, it has garnered an increasingly rabid cult following and is now looked upon as one of Sly's most quotable films....his answer to Dirty Harry.  Let's see how it holds up forty years later and find out if.....THIS is where the law stops.....and HE starts. ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
