S3 E15 THE END OF EASTWOOD
TRIGGER WARNING: Tightrope's central plot is about a serial rapist.
Hell of a thing, startin' a pod covering every Eastwood movie. You talk about every movie he made, and, someday, it ends.
Today is that day.
63 Eastwood movies and the first episode of Rawhide down. We watched and talked about them all. Now we wrap up season three and the Eastwoods with reflection, tears, a few jeers and a few beers.
TIGHTROPE from 1984 is the last on our list. Richard Tuggle wrote Escape From Alcatraz (S3 E8), one of our favorites from the late 70's early 80s era we have covered in this final season. This is one of Tuggle's few credits after Alcatraz and it has been long rumored Eastwood himself directed much of it without credit due to... The Eastwood Rule put in place by the DGA following Phillip Kauffman being removed from The Outlaw Josey Wales (S3 E1) and being replaced by... Clint Eastwood. Wales was covered in our season three premier so everything comes full circle!
We'll talk about the movie, Eastwood's lasting legacy as an actor and director and we will both announce our rankings for every Eastwood film we have covered. All 64.
It has been a hell of ride with some epic peaks and some depressing valleys watching all of Eastwood's films. Did we learn anything? What will we do next? What are our plans for 2021's CRY MACHO, Eastwood's latest film? Is THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY over? WHAT ABOUT CRY MACHO (2021)? Listen and find out!
