This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. We return to our very slow trip through the films of Sergio Leone with 1971's DUCK, YOU SUCKER!, also known as A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE, also known as GIÙ LA TESTA, a story of the Mexican Revolution starring Rod Steiger and James Coburn. It's a real humdinger of an episode, as Jake's allergies flare up while he tells a long story about some unpleasant men at the barbershop, Ian explains the Mexican Revolution, and we both read passages from Frantz Fanon.

Gene Hackman left us in shocking and tragic circumstances on February 18, 2025. With his signature intensity, he may be one of the least stony actors of all time, but he was one of the best. To pay tribute to him we have his trippiest movie this side of CISCO PIKE (1971) with the quick-cut, dolly-shot, bullet-hole-cam madness of Sam Raimi's THE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995). In this tribute to Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968), Gene Hackman delivers one of his most villainous performances as old west tyrant John Herod, who draws every shootist to his desert town for an annual gunfighting competition where the contestants duel to the death. Joining us to talk about Raimi's modern spaghetti western is actor LENNIE LOFTIN, who plays the grizzled townie Foy and gets to toss around an up-and-coming Russell Crowe in the movie. THE QUICK AND THE DEAD also stars Sharon Stone in the gender-swapped Man-with-No-Name role, Crowe in his first U.S. picture, and then rising star Leonardo DiCaprio as the cocky kid who is pretty good with a six-shooter. Plus Lance Henriksen, Keith David, Pat Hingle, Raynor Schiene, Roberts Blossom, and the great Woody Strode in his final film. Just about everybody's in this one and we are so lucky to have Loftin here to talk about this amazing film. Also joining host Bob Calhoun in her OMFYS debut, Rosemary Picado. Now you have heard her haunting vocals in the "O Nosferatu" carol in our NOSFERATU CHRISTMAS episode, but this is her first time as a panelist. She's a QUICK AND THE DEAD expert and fanatic, so we couldn't do this episode without her. Cory, Greg, and Philena are on assignment but they'll be back for The PhilenApocalypse III: Drag Story Time where Philena returns to torture the olds with TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and Yojimbo (1961)

In episode seven of our Visionary Remakes season, we traverse two classic westerns. First, Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961) and its nearly immediate Italian reaction, Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars (1964).The western has always been seen as a distinctly American film genre. The "west" in the word is the American West, a grand nearly ungovernable stretch of land filled with plains, deserts, mountains, rivers, and precarious cliffs, both literal and moral. It is a rich canvas that can tell a thousand different stories. Ironically, here we have two non-American voices calling out to the vast wilderness of the West. Perhaps it is a wild and mysterious place that exists in all cultures. Kurosawa's Yojimbo is not necessarily a textbook Western, but of course, it is deeply indebted to Shane (1953), High Noon (1952), The Gunfighter (1950), and John Ford's Stagecoach (1939) and My Darling Clementine (1946). At the same time, the source material was a hardboiled detective American novel from the 1930s, and we can not discount its place in the lineage of the chanbara films. Yojimbo is an amalgamation and many different styles and genres, but it still feels like a Western at its core.A Fistful of Dollars is resolutely a Western, but it came from somewhere left of the dial. Sergio Leone did not speak English nor had he ever been to America, let alone the American West. But Leone was able to spark something new and powerful in the waning genre. Westerns had been around since the beginning of film, but by the 1950s and 1960s, the genre had oversaturated culture mostly through dime-store tv shows: Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, Bonanza, and Rawhide. Westerns had become trite and tired. Along came Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone, and Ennio Morricone to reinvent and rekindle that flickering flame.

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.

Der Western wurde schon oft totgesagt. Nachdem sich John Wayne zur Ruhe gesetzt und Sergio Leone die Mundharmonika an den Nagel gehängt hatte, hauchten Leute wie Clint Eastwood oder Kevin Costner dem Genre neues Leben ein. Und der aktuelle Erfolg einer Serie wie „Yellowstone“ zeigt: der Western boomt mal wieder. Zeitgleich ist die Country-Musik international so erfolgreich wie nie. Spiegelt sich in der Kultur also die Sehnsucht nach einem ländlichen Amerika das es so schon lange nicht mehr gibt? Findet man in diesem Trend gerade einen Schlüssel, um die USA nach der Wahl von Donald Trump besser zu verstehen? Oder sind die Geschichten doch universeller als man denkt?

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions, this week on the show, we're joined by three guests—though, not all at once.  In the first half of the show: Mark “Frosty” McNeill of dublab and the LA Phil to discuss a new compilation he helped produce, Even the Forest Hums: Ukrainian Sonic Archives 1971​-​1996; in the second-half of the show, Estevan and Alejandro Gutierrez, better known as Hermanos Gutiérrez just us to discuss their latest album of spacey guitar instrumentals, Sonido Cosmico. Assembled by Light in the Attic Records in partnership with the Kyiv-based archival label, Shukai, Even the Forest Hums offers music rarely heard outside of its homeland—a genre diverse compilation of Ukrainian music recorded under the USSR's reign and in the aftermath of its collapse, from post-punk to folk, from jazz rock to early electronic music, from downtempo hip-hop to oddball pop.  “Music has always pulled Ukrainians out of the abyss,” writes Vitalii “Bard” Bardetskyi in the liner notes. “When there is no hope for the future, there is still music. At such moments, the whole nation resonates under a groove. Music, breaking through the concrete of various colonial systems, is an incredible, often illogical, way to preserve dignity.” Mark “Frosty” McNeill takes us behind the scenes. Brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez grew up in two words, splitting time between their father's native Switzerland and Ecuador, where their mother's family hailed from. On past records, they've evoked the imaginal expanses of Spaghetti Westerns through a pan Latin/surf/psychedelic sound for guitar and lap steel.  Their latest is called Sonido Cósmico. Joined by producer Dan Auerbach, they flesh the surroundings out even more this go-round, dialing in a song that's as suited for the desert expanses of Mars or the moon as much as any Sergio Leone film.  Estevan and Alejandro joined us to discuss setting their sights on the stars, channeling feminine energy via their abuela, and the intent that fueled committing their earliest musical efforts to vinyl.

The 1964 spaghetti Western A Fistful of Dollars turned Clint Eastwood into a star. He had a famous squint in his closeups, but he told Terry Gross in 1997, it wasn't necessarily character driven. "They bombed me with a bunch a lights, and you're outside and it's 90 degrees, and it's hard not to squint." We'll also hear from Eastwood's co-star in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Eli Wallach, who went on to play a bandit in several Westerns. Cultural historian Christopher Frayling tells us how the Italian director Sergio Leone broke the conventions of the Hollywood Western, and stuntman Hal Needham describes his most daring feats.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
