Fasten your seatbelt, folks, it's time for THE ROOKIE, Clint Eastwood's 1990 attempt to do Dirty Harry in big, loud LETHAL WEAPON mode with strange CLOUD ATLAS-style colorblind casting. Did it work? You gotta listen to find out, pal. I can't answer every little question you have! I have a podcast description to write, for h**ven's sake. As I was trying to say, we get into toxic police self-mythologizing, huge stunts, the long history of Germans in Latin and South America, plus Jake's got a big-brain reading of the film that he's very proud of. Check it out!

Topics include: Ian's recent trip abroad (and why we didn't have an episode out last week), San Jose talk, Sesame Street, another visit to the Frank Capracorner, Raul Julia appreciation, the Sonia Braga scene, Charlie Sheen and family, and how much we love chasing G-rides.

[Audio note: Ian recorded this during Guelaguetza, so there are occasional fireworks in the background of his audio that we've worked to quiet as best we can.]
