Walk a straight line through a cow pasture, you gotta step in some cow pies, but you get where you're goin'. The boys learn this lesson while traveling to the small town of Sinola, New Mexico to meet up with Joe Kidd. Join Adam, Mike, and Mac as they serve 10 days in jail and revisit the 1972 underrated (?) Revisionist Western from director John Sturges and writer Elmore Leonard. Is this the start of a great partnership for Clint and politics? Did sandwiches ever look that tasty in the Wild West? And, hey, it's Robert Duvall! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Personnel? That's for assholes! Fortunately for you, we're back on the streets of San Francisco this month with Detective Harry Callahan for 1976's The Enforcer. The third entry in the Dirty Harry franchise has the boys talkin' all kinds of jive when it comes to the political landscape of the '70s and how this series tackles its themes by pulling its punches. Lots to love, lots to kick around. Marvelous. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

The boys are back to make your day with a wild road trippin' romp in a bright, ostentatious Pink Cadillac. Adam is on the lam and it's up Mac and Mike to track him down and FedEx his ass back to the slammer. But first, they all need to talk about the 1989 action comedy that was critically derided, commercially ignored, and whipped to the back of the line by Indiana Jones.

"Progress. I dreamt about you last night." Hit the road with Mike, Mac, and Adam as they hightail it through Michael Cimino's 1974 directorial debut: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Together, they zero in on Cimino's budding signatures, debate whether Jeff Bridges outshines ol' Clint, run a comb through the supporting cast of character actors, and chew on the timeless themes of Americana.

Last month saw the boys in the Big Apple, this month they're in the City of Angels. Join Mac, Mike, and Adam as they discuss this 2002 adaptation of Michael Connelly's 1997 crime novel Blood Work. Once more, Clint was both behind and in front of the camera for this sunny slice of drama, sharing the screen with a bizarre cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Anjelica Huston, and Paul Rodriguez. Does it work? Is this a career low? Consider it the calm before the storm that would follow a year later. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

We're hours away from April, but don't worry, we're back with a new episode! The boys are back in town, aka New York City, as they leave the West and head East for 1968's Coogan's Bluff. Join Mac, Mike, and Adam as they discuss how the Don Siegel picture -- the first of five collaborations between the filmmaker and Clint -- is a true-blue bridge movie for both artists. They also digress on how there's no time for love in Siegel's domain, how this feels like Dirty Harry Zero, and whether Ringerman is a believable villain. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Love is (still) in the air, even a week after Valentine's Day. To celebrate, Adam, Mac, and Mike head to Laurel Canyon for the Breezy life. Together, they revisit Clint Eastwood's third directorial effort -- and his first without starring in it (no, cameos don't count) -- to digress on the taboo tryst at hand, the outstanding performances of William Holden and Kay Lenz, but more importantly, how screenwriter Jo Heims is the MVP here with a crackerjack script.

It's a new year and what better way to start it off than with a bang: 1993's In the Line of Fire. Join the boys as they jog next to Wolfgang Peterson's 1993 blockbuster thriller that sees Clint Eastwood facing off against an Oscar-nominated villain turn by John Malkovich. It's a fun hang and a staple of cable television, all of which is discussed in this whopper of an episode. They also weigh in on the '90s obsession with freak villains, the boomer's meditating on '60s culture (particularly, JFK), and why three different movies make one all-timer.

As the holidays shift to winter, the boys head out to the Old West -- specifically, LaHood, California in Carbon Canyon -- to revisit Clint Eastwood's 1985 stunner Pale Rider. Together, they discuss how the Preacher relates to Clint's past Western spirits, Michael Moriarty's shocking turn, the jaw-dropping cinematography that captures a subversive autumnal and wintry vibe, and how this feels like a crossroads for Eastwood as he would round out a most precarious decade.
