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+. It's also a conversation packed with pop culture tangents, Eastwood trivia, and plenty of digs at Morgs (who's nowhere to defend himself).LISTEN NOW on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.Join the conversation:Is In the Line of Fire Clint's last great performance?Did Malkovich deserve the Oscar?Is 63 too old to be jogging beside the president's car?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and let us know.#InTheLineOfFire #ClintEastwood #JohnMalkovich #BornToWatchPodcast #90sThriller #MoviePodcast #ReneeRusso #SecretServiceMovie

This week on Born to Watch, we dive into the horror landmark that changed the game: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Brutal, raw, and grimy in a way that still shocks today, this episode sees Whitey and Damo take on one of the most infamous cult classics ever made, with Morgz and Gow hilariously "noping out" after the first five minutes.Despite its terrifying reputation, the team quickly notes something surprising: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't about gore, it's about dread. Director Tobe Hooper weaponises your imagination with low-budget ingenuity, turning rural Texas into a sweat-drenched nightmare of implied violence, claustrophobia, and screaming madness.Whitey and Damo break down how the film uses its documentary-style visuals to make you feel like you're inside the nightmare. They discuss the iconic opening narration, the genius use of real animal sounds in place of a traditional soundtrack, and the deeply uncomfortable "dinner scene," which remains one of the most disturbing sequences ever filmed.The episode also explores the surprising lack of blood, the history of censorship surrounding the movie (which was banned for decades in the UK!), and why Leatherface, chainsaw-wielding, mask-wearing, and alarmingly agile, became an instant horror icon. There's serious appreciation for how Texas Chainsaw influenced Evil Dead, Seven, Pulp Fiction, and even the style of Star Wars' opening crawl.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without a few detours:Franklin and his endless whining take a brutal roasting, and deservedly so.Picking up hitchhikers is a bad move. Hitchhikers carrying photos of slaughtered cows—extra bad move."Don't go in the house, mate" becomes the ultimate horror PSA.Damo tells the all-time story of accidentally picking up hitchhikers while having "Northern Beaches Gay Board Riders" accidentally stuck to his car door.The cast of unknowns stayed unknown, most fading into cult obscurity. But the legacy of the film is undeniable, and the team argues that it might be the rawest and most authentic horror movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE:Why a minimal budget made Texas Chainsaw even scarier.The genius of Tobe Hooper's “no soundtrack” approach.How Sally Hardesty became the prototype for the Final Girl trope.That horrifying Grandpa scene and why it still messes us up.Whether Leatherface could qualify as CrossFit's most terrifying champion.It's loud, it's grimy, it's uncomfortable, and it's a horror masterclass that still hits like a hammer to the skull.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fixes!Join the conversation:Is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the most disturbing horror film ever made?

In this episode of Born to Watch, we take a wild ride back to 1985 for a Weird Science (1985) Review, where two geeky teens somehow manage to create the perfect woman with a little help from a computer, some questionable science, and a whole lot of 80s magic. But does this John Hughes cult classic still hold up today, or is it a relic best left in the past? Whitey, G Man, and Damo break it all down—the absurd plot, the unforgettable performances, and the film's impact on pop culture.From Oingo Boingo's legendary theme song to the iconic Kelly LeBrock taking nerd wish-fulfillment to a whole new level, Weird Science is packed with classic 80s energy. But how does it fare when viewed through a modern lens? We debate the film's over-the-top humor, its place in the John Hughes cinematic universe, and whether it's truly a teenage fantasy or just plain ridiculous. And speaking of ridiculous—how about that scene-stealing performance from Bill Paxton as Chet? He might just be one of cinema's most unforgettable older brothers.And here's a question for the real movie buffs: Did Mad Max 2 inspire Weird Science? With Vernon Wells reprising a very familiar role, it's hard to ignore the similarities. We dig into the connections between the two films and how a Mad Max villain somehow ended up in this teenage comedy.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without some heated debates. Are Ian and Max the worst dweeb bullies in movie history? Did this film get overlooked in a stacked year of 80s cinema? And what was up with Gary's infamous bar scene—comedic genius or a joke that went on way too long?We also bring back the fan-favorite Hit Sleeper Dud segment, uncovering forgotten 1985 gems and taking a closer look at No Retreat, No Surrender, Fortress, and the bizarre misfire that was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Plus, we read some hilarious listener comments and break down why one fan thinks our Fight Club episode might just be the Dune: Part Two of our podcast.And don't miss the return of Whitey's Kick Arse Credit Theme Song, only a quality jingle could make Gow's song this week better.

We're strapping in for a wild ride to Mars this week on Born to Watch with our 1990 sci-fi blockbuster Total Recall (1990) Review. Whitey, Gow, Damo, and Dan are back in full force for the first time in 2025 to dive into Arnold Schwarzenegger's mind-bending journey through memory wipes, mutant revolutions, and three-breasted surprises. This is peak Arnie, folks—at the top of both the box office and his biceps game.We break down the epic mind games cooked up by Paul Verhoeven, whose signature blend of over-the-top violence and dark humour made this a sci-fi classic. From Rob Bottin's unforgettable practical effects (seriously, those animatronics still hold up) to Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, the Born to Watch crew spares no detail. Did we mention the bar full of rebellious mutants and the iconic line: “Consider that a divorce”? Because that line still slaps.But is Total Recall just a kick-ass action flick, or is there something deeper? We debate whether Doug Quaid's adventure was all a dream and how Philip K. Dick's story inspired decades of mind-twisting movies. Plus, we marvel at Sharon Stone's layered performance (and next-level fight scenes), give props to Michael Ironside's rage-filled villainy, and shout out the criminally underrated Rachel Ticotin for holding her own in this testosterone fest.It's not all good news for Mars, though—Damo points out the planet's serious lack of workplace safety, from deadly airlock fans to bullet-prone glass domes. And Dan isn't too impressed with Arnie's hand-to-hand combat scenes, but hey, when you've got that physique, who needs finesse?Of course, no Born to Watch episode is complete without some signature chaos. The guys veer off into debates about Mars real estate values, the dangers of Venusville fans, and even Arnold's fitness regimen—yes, that includes "cock day." And the trailer? Let's just say it gave away way too much.To wrap it all up, we hit the good, the bad, and the ugly, with shoutouts to Quato's teeth (seriously, Gow's obsessed), killer squib work, and those ridiculous hologram fights where henchmen just blast each other to bits.So, get your ass to Mars and join us for one hell of an episode. You'll be laughing, quoting, and questioning reality right along with us. Just remember: “Get ready for a surprise!”If you enjoyed this trip to Mars with us, help spread the word by sharing Born to Watch with your friends, family, and fellow movie buffs!

Dirty Harry (1971) is a film that not only redefined the crime thriller genre but also cemented Clint Eastwood's place as one of cinema's most iconic leading men. In this week's episode of Born to Watch, Whitey and Gow are joined by special guest Will the Worky to discuss this gritty masterpiece that follows the relentless pursuit of justice by Inspector Harry Callahan. With its unforgettable storytelling, striking cinematography, and the moral dilemmas it raises, Dirty Harry is more than just a film—it's a cultural landmark. In this Dirty Harry Movie Review, we'll break down why this movie remains a genre-defining classic.A Plot as Sharp as Harry's MagnumThe plot of Dirty Harry grips you from the very first frame. San Francisco is under siege by the Scorpio Killer, a psychopathic sniper terrorising the city with seemingly random acts of violence. From the chilling opening, where a woman is gunned down while swimming in a rooftop pool, to Scorpio's taunting letters to the police, the film wastes no time establishing the stakes. Harry Callahan is assigned to the case, and the audience is quickly introduced to his no-nonsense approach to law enforcement.The tension escalates as Scorpio's crimes become more horrifying, including a demand for ransom and threats to kill schoolchildren. As Harry tracks the killer, the film raises moral questions about justice. Harry's unorthodox and often brutal tactics contrast sharply with the red tape and legal technicalities that allow Scorpio to evade justice. This moral grey area forms the backbone of the film, making every decision Harry makes feel weighty and consequential.Clint Eastwood as Harry CallahanClint Eastwood's magnetic performance as Inspector Harry Callahan is at the heart of the film. Already a star thanks to his roles in Sergio Leone's Westerns, Eastwood brings a rugged charisma to Harry, a man hardened by years of dealing with San Francisco's worst criminals. Harry's disdain for bureaucracy and willingness to cross ethical boundaries make him a fascinating antihero.Eastwood's portrayal balances toughness with a quiet vulnerability. Harry isn't a superhero; he's a man doing what he believes is necessary to protect the innocent, even if it means operating outside the boundaries of the law. His stoic demeanour and undeniable screen presence make Harry Callahan one of cinema's most enduring characters.A Villain Who Gets Under Your SkinA great hero needs a formidable villain, and Dirty Harry delivers one of the most unsettling antagonists in film history with the Scorpio Killer, played by Andrew Robinson. Inspired by the real-life Zodiac Killer, Scorpio is a sadistic predator who revels in chaos and fear. Robinson's performance is chilling, blending moments of eerie calm with outbursts of unhinged violence.Scorpio's unpredictability keeps the audience on edge, and his ability to manipulate the legal system adds another layer of tension. This isn't a villain Harry can overpower; he must outwit him while navigating the constraints of the justice system. The dynamic between Harry and Scorpio elevates the film, making their battle a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse.Cinematography and the Gritty Streets of San FranciscoOne of Dirty Harry's standout features is its use of San Francisco as a backdrop. The city becomes a character in its own right, with its steep hills, foggy streets, and iconic landmarks providing a rich, atmospheric setting for the story. The cinematography by Bruce Surtees captures the grittiness of urban life in the 1970s, grounding the film in a harsh reality that feels both timeless and authentic.Surtees uses natural light and shadow to great effect, particularly in the nighttime sequences, which heighten the tension and give the film a noir-like quality. The action scenes, from the tense stakeouts to the thrilling final showdown, are shot with a rawness that makes them feel immediate and visceral. The result is a film that immerses viewers in its world, making the stakes feel all the more real.Action and Suspense Done RightDirty Harry masterfully balances moments of quiet suspense with bursts of intense action. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as Harry gets closer to catching Scorpio. When the action erupts, it's brutal and unrelenting, reflecting the story's high stakes. The film's most memorable sequences, including Harry's iconic “Do I feel lucky?” confrontation and the climactic chase through a quarry, are perfectly executed, blending taut direction with Eastwood's commanding screen presence.Dirty Harry's grounding in the story sets the action apart. Every gunshot, every punch, every chase serves a narrative purpose, heightening the stakes and revealing more about Harry's character. The action is never gratuitous; it's a natural extension of the film's themes and conflicts.A Soundtrack That Sets the ToneThe film's score, composed by Lalo Schifrin, is another standout element. The music combines jazz and orchestral elements with avant-garde sounds, creating a sense of unease that mirrors the tension onscreen. Schifrin's unconventional rhythms and eerie melodies enhance the film's atmosphere, making the viewer feel the menace of Scorpio's presence and the relentless drive of Harry's pursuit.Themes of Justice and MoralityOne of the reasons Dirty Harry remains so compelling is its exploration of justice and morality. The film asks difficult questions about the balance between individual freedoms and the need for public safety. Harry's methods are controversial, often skirting the line between heroism and vigilantism. He's a character who doesn't fit neatly into the role of a traditional hero, which makes him all the more fascinating.The film also critiques the bureaucracy of law enforcement, highlighting how red tape and legal loopholes can prevent justice from being served. This theme resonated deeply in the 1970s, a time of social unrest and disillusionment with authority, and it remains relevant today.A Legacy That EnduresMore than 50 years after its release, Dirty Harry continues influencing the crime thriller genre. Its impact can be seen in countless films and TV shows, from Lethal Weapon to Breaking Bad. Harry Callahan's uncompromising attitude and moral complexity have become archetypes for antiheroes, and the film's gritty realism set a new standard for action cinema.Dirty Harry also launched a successful franchise, with Eastwood reprising the role in four sequels. While the later films vary in quality, the original remains a benchmark for the genre—a film that challenges, thrills and entertains in equal measure.Dirty Harry is more than just a movie; it's a cultural phenomenon that redefined what a crime thriller could be. With its sharp storytelling, unforgettable characters, and moral complexity, the film has earned its place as a timeless classic. Whether you're a first-time viewer or a longtime fan, Dirty Harry remains a must-watch for anyone who loves cinema.This week on Born to Watch, Whitey, Gow, and special guest Will the Worky explore why this 1971 masterpiece still resonates with audiences today.

When it comes to the greatest films of all time, few are as universally beloved as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In this E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Review, Whitey and Gow take a deep dive into Spielberg's sci-fi classic, joined by a special guest to tackle “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” in true Born to Watch style. Whether it's your first time experiencing this heartwarming tale or a nostalgic revisit, this episode breaks down why this film has cemented itself as one of the greatest family movies ever made.A Story That Strikes a Universal ChordIt's impossible to talk about E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial without diving into its emotional core. Whitey and Gow agree that the story's success lies in its simplicity. At its heart, it's about a boy and an alien—two lost souls searching for connection. Spielberg's ability to layer this story with humour, wonder, and gut-punch emotion is unmatched.The film opens with E.T., a stranded extraterrestrial, evading shadowy government agents and hiding out in the suburbs. Enter Elliott, a lonely boy played with astonishing emotional range by Henry Thomas. As Whitey points out in the episode, Elliott's arc mirrors the journey many children face growing up—grappling with loneliness, searching for purpose, and discovering the power of friendship.Gow brings his trademark sharp eye to the family dynamics, pointing out how Spielberg subtly grounds the story in a post-divorce home. The absent father looms in the background, adding an emotional layer that makes Elliott's bond with E.T. feel even more profound.Henry Thomas: A Performance for the AgesSpeaking of Elliott, let's say it outright: Henry Thomas delivers one of the greatest child performances in cinematic history. Whitey and Gow are in complete agreement on this one—Thomas deserved an Oscar. From the raw vulnerability of the “They're going to cut him open” scene to the uncontainable joy of the flying bike sequence, his range is simply extraordinary.Whitey highlights how Thomas' performance isn't just about hitting emotional beats—it's about making the audience believe. Elliott's connection with E.T. feels real because Thomas makes it real. As Gow puts it, “You forget this is a kid acting. He becomes the film's emotional heart, and you feel every beat with him.”Drew Barrymore as Gertie also gets her due in the Born to Watch breakdown. Her comedic timing and natural charm bring levity to some of the film's heavier moments, proving that Spielberg had a knack for getting the best out of his young cast.Spielberg's Direction: Pure MagicIt wouldn't be a Born to Watch review without a deep dive into the director's craft, and Spielberg's touch is nothing short of magical in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Whitey breaks down how Spielberg uses the suburban setting to ground the film in reality, making the extraordinary feel believable. The lighting, camera angles, and pacing all work together to create a sense of intimacy that draws you into Elliott's world.Gow can't help but gush about the iconic flying bike scene, which he calls “one of the greatest cinematic moments of all time.” With John Williams' soaring score and Spielberg's seamless blend of practical effects and storytelling, it transcends generations.Whitey points out how Spielberg also masterfully builds tension and wonder, from E.T.'s glowing finger to the government agents lurking just out of sight. There's a reason why Spielberg is a household name—he knows how to tell a story that sticks with you long after the credits roll.A Legacy That Shines BrightIt's hard to overstate the cultural impact of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Whitey and Gow break down how the film became a phenomenon, from its record-breaking box office success to its lasting influence on pop culture. Reese's Pieces became a household name, and the phrase “E.T. phone home” is still instantly recognisable.But beyond its commercial success, the film's themes of empathy, love, and belonging have made it timeless. Gow reflects on how these themes resonate as strongly today, proving that Spielberg created more than just a movie—he created an experience.Final ThoughtsIn this E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Review, Whitey and Gow don't just revisit a beloved classic—they celebrate it. From Henry Thomas' groundbreaking performance to Spielberg's masterful direction, the film is a shining example of cinema at its best.E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial remains a must-watch whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer. Its message of connection and its ability to make you laugh, cry, and believe in magic all over again make it a true masterpiece. As Whitey says in the episode, “This isn't just a movie—it's a part of our childhoods, and it still feels just as magical today.”So, grab some Reese's Pieces and join the Born to Watch team as they relive the magic of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. It's a journey you won't want to miss.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

This episode features a conversation with Dr. William Gow on his recently published book, Performing Chinatown: Hollywood, Tourism, and the Making of a Chinese American Community (Stanford University Press, 2024), focuses on the 1930s and 1940s Los Angeles–its Chinatowns, and “city,” as well as the Chinese American community's relationship with Hollywood. Chinatown and Hollywood, Gow argues, represented the two primary sites where Chinese Americans performed racial difference for popular audiences during the Chinese exclusion era. As he will illustrate later in this conversation, Chinese Americans in Los Angeles used these performances in Hollywood films and in Chinatown for tourists to shape widely-held understandings of race and national belonging during this pivotal chapter in U.S. history. Performing Chinatown builds on Gow's background as a historian, educator, and documentary filmmaker–even incorporating his own family's history with Hollywood throughout the book's opening and closing. A fourth-generation Chinese American and a proud graduate of the San Francisco Unified School District, he holds an M.A. in Asian American Studies from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley. Before receiving his doctorate, he taught history for nearly a decade in California public schools. For the past 20 years, he has also served as a volunteer historian with the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California (CHSSC), a non-profit in Los Angeles Chinatown. At the CHSSC, he is the co-director of the Five Chinatowns project, documenting the history of the five Chinatowns that existed in Los Angeles before 1965. He is presently an assistant professor of Asian American and Ethnic Studies at Cal State Sacramento. Donna Doan Anderson (she/her) is a research assistant professor in History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 20! There are plenty of things we love… and for sure one of them is the world of film and entertainment… especially when it's Asian American cinema. But what happens when what you see represented in Hollywood becomes blurred with the actual experience in an ethnic enclave… or even drives it? Our conversation today dives a bit into that. We're excited to share this conversation with Professor William Gow. Dr. Gow is a California-based community historian, educator, and documentary filmmaker who is currently an Assistant Professor at California State University, Sacramento. His forthcoming book, Performing Chinatown: Hollywood, Tourism, and the Making of a Chinese American Community is scheduled for release by Stanford University Press on May 14, 2024… and if you order direct from the publisher and use discount code GOW20, you get 20% off! The book examines Los Angeles Chinatown and its relationship to Hollywood cinema in the 1930s and 1940s. We really enjoyed the book and the depth of the research Dr. Gow presents. In fact, this has been one of the most insightful books we've read in the last few years, pushing our thinking of how Chinese Americans survived and represented themselves to often judgmental onlookers. Professor Gow also has worked on several other projects. Some of the ones that we appreciated are More to the Chinese Side (click to watch an excerpt), The Five Chinatowns: A Community History (along with Dr. Kelly Fong one of our future guests and ), and the great article A Night in Old Chinatown (we talk about this one in the podcast).  We highly recommend purchasing Performing Chinatown!

In this latest episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, hosts Whitey and Gow, along with special guest Sloane Nickson, dive into the 2007 action-packed thriller, "Shooter". Directed by Antoine Fuqua and based on the novel "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter, "Shooter" follows the story of Bob Lee Swagger (played by Mark Wahlberg), a former Marine Corps sniper who is coaxed back into action only to be framed for a crime he didn't commit. "Shooter" starts with a bang, quite literally, setting the tone for a film that's both intense and complex. The narrative quickly evolves, presenting viewers with a puzzle that is as political as it is personal. Wahlberg's character, Swagger, is a man of few words but immense skill, drawn out of a self-imposed exile to prevent an assassination attempt on the President. However, the plot takes a dark turn when Swagger is betrayed, and framed for the assassination he was trying to prevent. The film's plot is a rollercoaster of twists and turns, each meticulously crafted to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.Mark Wahlberg delivers one of his career-best performances as Swagger, embodying the role of the disillusioned yet highly capable marksman. His portrayal is both nuanced and powerful, bringing depth to a character that could easily have been one-dimensional. The supporting cast, including Michael Peña as FBI Agent Nick Memphis and Danny Glover as Colonel Isaac Johnson, provide solid performances that add layers to the story. However, it is Wahlberg's portrayal of Swagger's journey from isolation to redemption that stands as the film's emotional core.Beyond its action-packed surface, "Shooter" delves into themes of corruption, betrayal, and the search for justice. The film critiques the manipulation and exploitation inherent in the military and governmental institutions, making a poignant statement about the sacrifices of soldiers and the often murky ethics of those in power. Swagger's quest for truth and vindication is not just a personal journey but a commentary on the struggle against systemic injustice.Antoine Fuqua's direction is precise and compelling, balancing intense action sequences with moments of poignant introspection. The cinematography, led by Peter Menzies Jr., captures the expansive landscapes and tight, tense atmospheres with equal skill, highlighting the film's diverse settings from remote mountains to urban sprawls. The action sequences are particularly noteworthy, choreographed and shot in a way that feels both realistic and exhilarating.Since its release in 2007, "Shooter" has garnered a dedicated fan base, appreciating its blend of action, suspense, and moral complexity. It has spurred discussions about the representation of military veterans in cinema and the ethical dilemmas faced by those who serve. The film's impact goes beyond entertainment, prompting viewers to consider the real-world implications of the themes it explores."Shooter" is a film that manages to be both a thrilling action ride and a thought-provoking exploration of deeper themes. Mark Wahlberg's performance, coupled with Fuqua's direction and compelling narrative, makes for a film that is engaging from start to finish. As Whitey, Damo, and Sloane Nickson discuss in this episode of the Born to Watch Podcast, "Shooter" stands as a testament to the power of cinema to entertain, challenge, and inspire. It's a film that not only marksman enthusiasts will appreciate but also those who value storytelling that dares to address the complexities of justice, loyalty, and redemption.In wrapping up this review for the Born to Watch Podcast, "Shooter" is a film that certainly hits its target, offering a blend of action and substance that is as rare as it is captivating. Whether you're a first-time viewer or returning to appreciate its intricacies, "Shooter" is a film that continues to resonate, proving itself to be a noteworthy entry in the action genre and beyond.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

UW Prez Jay Rothman discusses the Gow pornography investigation

If you found your Chancellor on a porn video, how would you report it? We have a development in the Joe 'porny mcchancellor' Gow case. Glenn Grothman is back on his alien kick, and Mark Tauscher walks us through what Mark Cmura meant in his comments that have since gone viral.

A bedtime story for adults. Listen tonight to the Mystery Father Brown detective short story, The Honour of Israel Gow. Father Brown and his new friend Flambeau the reformed cat burglar and new private detective, go and investigate the death of Lord Glengyle at his Scottish castle. They are there to help Inspector Craven of Scotland Yard solve the strange death and secretive burial of the late Earl, a secluded man who lived as a hermit with his servant, the silent Israel Gow. The Earl died and was buried in secrecy by Gow. If there has been a crime, the clues to the crime are significant in number and baffling. What is behind these strange and mysterious events? This story is taken from the short story collection of The Innocence of Father Brown By G. K. Chesterton. Please leave a 5-star review & SUBSCRIBE on Apple and Spotify.
