This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month.

Today we're talking about the 2005 documentary BUDD BOETTICHER: A MAN CAN DO THAT, which features both Clint Eastwood and Paul Schrader (among others) talking about the elemental western films of Budd Boetticher and his influence on their work. We also talk about some Boetticher films ourselves, and take this moment to go a little deeper on auteur theory - its usefulness, its problems, our relationship to it as a framework. You don't have to watch the doc to enjoy this episode, but it is kind of fun if you can track it down!

Thanks as always to Jetski for our theme music and Jeremy Allison for our artwork.
