S3 E 14  PALE HEAT

1985's PALE RIDER is Eastwood's first western in nine years and the third of four he would direct (High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven). A play off the classic SHANE template, Eastwood stars as a mysterious stranger named Preacher who helps a small town against unscrupulous miners. He's like a ghost but we swear it is different than High Plains Drifter.

1984's CITY HEAT is Clint's one and only collab with fellow box office star (of the era) Burt Reynolds. Their careers went in vastly different directions after this movie, which we will talks about with our friend Rick.

THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY began by watching Eastwood's latest (Richard Jewell, S1 E1) and his earliest (RETURN OF THE CREATURE, S1 E1). We then watched one movie moving forward and one moving back, initially separated by SIXTY-FOUR YEARS,  until... THIS EPISODE where we are watching and talking two movies that came out within a year of each other.
