S3 E2 THE ENFORCER OF MADISON COUNTY.

DIRTY HARRY IS BACK! And he is shooting some... bad bridges in.... Iowa?

Sadly, no. In 1976's The Enforcer, Harry Callahan returns in his third outing, where he drops pretense of political ambiguity of the first two installments and goes full on law & order with society crumbling while he teaches Tyne Daley how to be an Inspector and she teaches him to find his heart before everyone dies on Alcatraz.  Then he walks away again but will eventually be back with the SFPD because the donuts are great. (Spoilers)

Then we cover The Bridges of Madison County, from 1995, Clint's most directly romantic movie until the amazing J. Edgar (it's true!). Meryl Streep brings out something special in Eastwood as they portray two lost souls over four days in rural Iowa in 1965. Clint does shoot bridges here, but not Jeff Bridges and not with a .44 Magnum. He plays a photographer shooting the bridges in the title with his sweet camera set up. Meryl Streep plays a woman who takes a bath in the tub Eastwood just showered in but it's not as weird as that sounds. It's good! We are joined by podcast superstar Meg to figure it all out and leave a very special google review of our own.
