Emmet Kennedy is joined by racing analyst Adam Mills and jockey George Gorman for Part 2 of The Final Furlong Podcast's comprehensive Cheltenham Festival Review, focusing exclusively on the standout novice chasers and hurdlers. We analyse the Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle star Kopek Des Bordes, alongside placed contenders William Munny and Romeo Coolio, discussing what lies ahead for them and identifying beaten horses primed for handicap success. Adam makes a compelling case for Turners Novices' Hurdle winner The New Lion as next year's Champion Hurdle star, while the entire team agrees The Yellow Clay and Final Demand could dominate Cheltenham in seasons to come. Attention then shifts to key runners from the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle—Jasmin De Vaux, The Big Westerner, Derryhassen Paddy, and Wendigo—and we pinpoint future stars in Air Of Entitlement for the Mares' Chase and Sixandahalf as a potential Champion Hurdler. Plus, we explain why shock Triumph Hurdle winner Poniros deserves serious respect, discuss the dramatic Arkle Chase victory of Jango Baie and its implications for beaten favourite Majborough, and debate whether Ballyburn should revert to hurdles after a costly defeat in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase. Could Lecky Watson emerge as a Gold Cup contender? Finally, the team highlights overlooked Champion Bumper runners and key handicappers to follow ahead of Aintree and Punchestown.

Impitoyable, Unforgiven en anglais, un film de Clint Eastwood sorti en 1992 est un western crépusculaire et violent. Lʹhistoire dʹun ancien tueur, retraité, veuf et père de famille, sans le sou, qui sʹassocie à un jeune cow-boy inexpérimenté et complètement miro et à son ancien comparse, esclave affranchi, pour aller toucher une prime de 1000 dollars en vengeant une prostituée défigurée par un client humilié. La recherche du criminel, la figure du shérif, également tueur pas si repenti, les questions des droits de prostituées, des femmes en général dans le Far-West, les droits des anciens esclaves, la loi par les armes, et la légende de lʹOuest qui se construit, tout cela dresse un portrait violent et sans concession dʹune époque, celle des années 1880, quand la conquête est terminée et que les colons, installés, sʹéchinent à créer la société de demain. Clint Eastwood, cowboy décati, partage lʹaffiche avec Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, Jaimz Woolvett, Francis Fisher et Saul Rubinek. Le casting est brillant, la direction dʹacteur également. Clint Eastwood revient au genre de prédilection qui lʹa fait connaître. Il est à la fois devant et derrière la caméra, réalisateur et producteur, sʹentourant dʹune équipe de fidèles pour mener à bien ce projet qui marque les esprits, en renouvelant littéralement un genre quʹon disait moribond, voire carrément décédé, le western. Le film enthousiasme le public et la critique, par le jeu des comédiennes et des comédiens, par la beauté de la photographie, par ce côté sombre et désabusé, par cette narration différente du mythe de lʹOuest. Il rapporte 160 millions de dollars. Il en a coûté 14,4 millions. Et il remporte 4 Oscars dont celui du meilleur film et meilleur réalisateur pour Clint Eastwood en 1993. Ne tardons plus, le Kid de Schofield apprenti tueur est venu chercher William Munny pour emporter une prime aussi sanglante que vengeresse. Lʹargent est tentant et ramène Munny au cœur de la violence.

Many consider it the greatest Western of all time. Clint Eastwood's comeback to the genre in 1992 proved to be a beast at the Oscar's the following year. Luke and Corrye explore: the nature of violence in this film and how it's portrayed compared to Westerns of the past; Little Bill vs. English Bob; and William Munny's stunning finale shootout.

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we're saddling up and riding into the gritty world of Clint Eastwood's 1992 revisionist Western, Unforgiven.Unforgiven is not your typical Western shoot-'em-up. It's a film that questions the myths of the Old West, presenting a tale steeped in moral complexity and the harsh truths of frontier justice. Eastwood directs and stars as William Munny, a notorious outlaw and killer who's left his violent past behind for a quiet life with his children on a farm. But when the promise of a bounty lures him back for one last job, we're taken on a journey that explores themes of redemption, the weight of legacy, and the inescapable nature of one's past.With an outstanding supporting cast, including Morgan Freeman as Ned Logan, Gene Hackman as the brutal Sheriff Little Bill, and Richard Harris as English Bob, the performances are as sharp as the dialogue. The film delves into the psyche of its characters, painting a picture of men who are far removed from the gallant heroes of old Western lore.Unforgiven earned critical acclaim upon its release, securing four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. It's a film that dismantled the glamorized image of gunslingers and showed the audience the gritty reality of life in the American West.So Dads, let's talk about the impact of this film, its place in Eastwood's legendary career, and how it redefined the Western genre for modern audiences. And maybe we'll share a few stories about our own unforgiven dad moments along the way.Pull up a stool, pour yourself a whiskey, and let's get ready to revisit the town of Big Whiskey, Wyoming. It's going to be a bumpy, introspective ride on this episode of Bad Dads Film Review.

Unforgiven from 1992 was directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Blade Runner screenwriter David Webb Peoples. It is about a retired Old West gunslinger, Eastwood's William Munny who takes on one last job to support his children, aided by his old partner, Ned Logan played by Morgan Freeman and a young man, The “Schofield Kid.”   Timecodes: 00:00 - Introduction :17- The Film stats 3:04 - The Pickup Line 6:54 - The violence of Little Bill's character 10:50 - Revisionist of Westerns 14:07 - The importance of Morality 22:25 - Clint Eastwood's boots 25:45 - Filming westerns 29:03 - Head Trauma 29:39 - Smoochie, Smoochie, Smoochie 30:06 - Driving Review 32:36 - To the Numbers   Photo from the episode  To guess the theme of this month's films you can call or text us at 971-245-4148 or email to christi@dodgemediaproductions.com You can guess as many times as you would like.

There are but few others who have come to represent the Western genre as fully as Clint Eastwood. From Sergio Leone to Josey Wales, the laconically scowling scoundrel permeates our culture as the signature symbol of the frontier. Wielding this iconic clout, Eastwood chose to make his final stamp on the genre with the ultimate de-mystifying of its hero-worshipping ways, rendering a bleak, uncompromising portrait of the brutality of the West, and the bogus myth-making that went into romanticizing its supposed heroes. As the grizzled star of the picture, Eastwood lends credibility to the washed-up murderer of women and children that is William Munny, a scourge of the frontier wrangled back into the fold out of destitution and desperation. As he travels to the town of Big Whiskey, in a falsely noble quest to avenge the mutilation of a local call girl, we see how truly morbid and bleak the West actually was, and the inhumane ideals necessary to actually perform the murderous heroics romanticized in the legends of such stories passed down over the years. Unforgiven is the last reminder we need to know that the apocryphal West of our imaginations was merely that, and the mythos we've carved from its stories are but the misguided dreams of virulent men.

Unforgiven is a 1992 American revisionist Western film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood and written by David Peoples. The film portrays William Munny, an aging outlaw and killer who takes on one more job, years after he had turned to farming. Our guest to discuss this film is Steven Benedict, a well-known film critic, writer, producer, and director of films and documentaries.

On this episode, we discuss the sixty-fifth Best Picture Winner: “UNFORGIVEN.”Disgusted by Sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett's decree that several horses make up for a cowhand slashing a prostitutes's face, Big Whiskey prostitutes, led by the fierce Strawberry Alice, take justice into their own hands and put a $1,000 bounty on the lives of the perpetrators. Notorious outlaw-turned-hog farmer William Munny is sought out by neophyte gunslinger "the Schofield Kid" to go with him to Big Whiskey and collect the bounty. While Munny insists, "I ain't like that no more," he needs the bounty money for his children, and the two men convince Munny's clean-living comrade Ned Logan to join them in righting the wrong done by Sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett.  Directed by Clint Eastwood, “Unforgiven” stars Clint Eastwood as Bill Munny, Gene Hackman as Little Bill Daggett, Morgan Freeman as Ned Logan, Jaimz Woolvett as The 'Schofield Kid', Frances Fisher as Strawberry Alice, and Richard Harris as English Bob.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. You can reach anyone here at TheEnvelopePodcast.com – Just go there to email us, check our bios, and keep up with the latest episode.

Clint Eastwood visita esta noche nuestra pocilga del cine, con una de sus obras maestras, quizás el corazón de su inmensa carrera, Sin Perdón (Unforgiven), 1992. Un Western oscuro y amargo, donde los pecados del pasado persiguen a unos tipos, a los que el futuro está arrinconando…Bob el Inglés, Ned Logan, Little Bill, William Munny….Viejos Pistoleros que deben rendir cuentas por la sangre y el plomo derramados, por las vidas segadas. El destino implacable cobrará sus deudas. David Webb Peoples delinea esta historia, con un guión tan negro como la propia alma de William Munny, la grandeza de Eastwood es desmitificar la mitología americana, la esencia de su país, y a la vez, homenajearlo. Porque en este western nos enfrentamos a un mundo crepuscular donde el honor y la valentía son meros dibujos y palabras en el cuaderno de un escritor, de un trovador que llena de gloria y leyenda una realidad sucia y descarnada, desprovista de épica y honor. Eastwood dedica Sin Perdón a Sergio Leone y a Don Siegel, pero en esto fotogramas esta sin duda Sam Peckinpah, está sin duda John Huston y sobre todo, esta el clasicismo del maestro John Ford. No sólo en imprimir la Leyenda, sino en contarla con la mirada de un poeta: Los planos con la linea del horizonte en la parte baja de la pantalla, la cabaña destartalada recortada sobre el cielo en llamas del atardecer, la figura imponente y trágica de un hombre visitando la tumba de su esposa; un joven que ha matado y ahora debe asumirlo, vivir con ello….; o un viejo shérif que no ha terminado su porche, que no está preparado para morir. Nos encontramos a un Eastwood introspectivo que reflexiona sobre temas capitales, Sin Perdón ahonda en la esencia americana, en la amistad, en la aventura, en la venganza, en la violencia, en las pistolas humeantes, pero detrás del humo están las vidas que el plomo se lleva, enfrentarse cara a cara con la muerte, lo difícil que es quitar una vida, lo que implica. Los hombres mancillando el regalo sagrado. También hay reflexiones sobre la Mujer, Eastwood nos presenta a mujeres fuertes e integras en una época donde eran mera mercancía, una inversión, ganado, que se marcaba como propiedad y que había que indemnizar si se dañaba. Una prostituta cortada por cuestionar la virilidad de un vaquero, acarrea un río de sangre y muertes, una mujer que termina siendo un ángel para William Munny, el esbozo de una sonrisa al verle fundirse en la noche. Las ausencias también definen la filmografía de Eastwood, aquí está la esposa fallecida de William, Claudia, que rige los destinos de este pistolero desalmado que ahora malvive en un paraje perdido, incapaz de darle un futuro a sus hijos, apartado del Whisky y la Violencia. Deberá recurrir de nuevo a su negra y atávica esencia, ante la promesa de una vida nueva, de un futuro, ante una bolsa llena de sucias monedas. Una obra maestra de un maestro, el último clásico, que se pierde en la noche a lomos de un caballo pálido, tras haber asesinado a los canallas que cortaron a una prostituta y torturaron y exhibieron el cadáver de su amigo en la puerta de una sucia taberna. Inocentes….Zacarias Cotán, José Miguel Moreno, Raul Gallego, Gervi Navío, Salvador Limón… ¿Inocentes de qué? Gervasio Navío Flores.

This quick primer episode is the uncomfortable preface to Jacques Ellul's agitation propaganda. I explore how our Matrix Avatars themselves act as agitation propaganda and the way the informational cyber-swamp has actually managed to monetize it. Also Ellul on the dangerous effects of suppressing innate drives and human nature, the Ideology of Happiness, the universal violent human instinct, the devastating effects of dissolving human domestication to unleash and exploit primal hatred, and the self-defeating ignorance of poking the hibernating Crackerbear. When it's done, to quote William Munny, "Have a drink, kid."    Jacques Ellul's "Propaganda": https://www.amazon.com/Propaganda-Formation-Attitudes-Jacques-Ellul/dp/0394718747*Like the pod?

In 1992, Clint Eastwood directed and starred in the Oscar winning western Unforgiven.  For more than 20 years, the Unforgiven script floated around until it found its way to Eastwood who waited until the right moment to make this near perfect flick.  Made for $14 Mil, this movie made nearly $160 mil worldwide, and it was a resounding commercial and critical success.  With an amazing cast that included Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Sir Richard Harris, Unforgiven was nominated for 9 Oscars, winning for best picture, best supporting actor, best director, and best film editing.  But does it hold up?  Was there ever any doubt?  Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent revisit this classic and see if William Munny is too old, slow, and crusty to carry this film to its exciting conclusion, or if he is as deadly as ever and makes quick work of Little Bill and his posse.

Some of the biggest blockbusters in Hollywood history have been movies about very tough guys. Take for example Clint Eastwood’s character William Munny in the movie Unforgiven. He was a rough dude. Then there was Bruce Willis’s character John McClane in Die Hard and Charles Bronson’s character Paul Kersey in Death Wish, both very tough guys. The list goes on, but the tough guys in the movies for the most part are fictional characters, and even then, none of them […]

"Any man don't wanna get killed...better clear on out the back." On this week's episode Dustin and Mike sit down to talk about Clint Eastwood's morally acute meditation on violence and redemption, and his last word on the western genre, Unforgiven. It's the story of William Munny and Ned Logan who aint bad men no more, they're just quiet farmers trying to make their way in the world. But after Munny is faced with a difficult choice they set out on one more fateful job as hired guns to make a little money and kill some men they guess probably got it comin'. Download the show, listen to the discussion, and see if the film gets the judgment it deserves.    

Edición número 71 de La Gran Evasión, 2/2/2016, ésta noche nos visita Clint Eastwood en su Gran Torino, una obra sincera y personal que en 2008 desconcertó a todos, "Tu mundo son aquellas pequeñas cosas que vas dejando atrás..." Toda una confesión, una búsqueda inmisericorde de redención, de paz, para Walt Kowalski, para Clint, para todos nosotros. Es un relato para escuchar y sentir, cómo las melodías que compone Eastwood, dulce y desgarradora a la vez, una lágrima, media sonrisa de un tipo duro demasiado sensible. Toda una revisión a sus personajes más icónicos, hay ecos en Walt Kowalski de los justicieros de sus inicios, de Harry Callahan, del Sargento de Hierro, del asesino William Munny, también de los hombres heridos y atormentados por el pasado, de Frank, del boxeador que entrenaba a la chica del millón de dólares, fantasmas como su Jinete Pálido que viene a rendir cuentas del pasado...y tantos otros. Una confesión, llena de matices y riqueza emocional, se confiesa en un bar, ante una cerveza y un chupito de whiskey, hablando de la vida y la muerte a un bisoño sacerdote que no ha vivido, abrirá su alma en un sótano, a un chico perdido, para que no cometa sus mismos errores, para que no cargue con un dolor insoportable...la muerte y la violencia sólo traen muerte y violencia... Paseamos por la carretera de la playa en un Gran Torino del 72, a la dirección José Miguel Moreno, contertulios, Isabel Moncada Garrucho, Gervi Navío y maldiciendo a los putos talleres mientras le corta el pelo un italiano deslenguado, nuestro crítico César Bardés. Mi corazón también está encerrado en un Gran Torino.
