5: The 15:17 to Paris (with Matt Christman)


Listen Later

Chapo Trap House’s Matt Christman joins host Jesse Hawken for an in-depth conversation about Clint Eastwood’s 2018 Dudes Rock drama The 15:17 To Paris, a re-enactment of the 2015 incident where three young American tourists stopped a terror attack on a European high-speed train... but starring The Boys as themselves, and telling the whole story that led to this decisive moment, going back to their childhood.

Part After School Special, part aimless travelogue, starring non-actors but strangely featuring sitcom actors in supporting roles, this is a film about millennials made by an 87 year old man. It’s one of the most bizarre modern film experiments to get a wide release from a major studio, and a great example of the beguiling Late Style of God Clint, where distinctions can be drawn between Eastwood’s personal ideology and what motivates him as a film artist.

And yes, we do provide analysis of the Gelato Scene.
