Pod Casty For Me

If you wanna fly / come and take a ride / take a space ride with the Pod Casty boys, baby! Today we're launching into Eastwood's 2000 old-guys-rule astronaut film SPACE COWBOYS, and boy do we launch. We get into Donald Sutherland, James Garner, and every young boy's favorite adult man circa Y2K, Tommy Lee Jones, as well as the "Whitey on the Moon" of it all, comparisons to THE RIGHT STUFF and APOLLO 13, and whether this might be Clint's most conservative movie since the 80s. Take your protein pills, put your helmet on, and give it a listen!

Topics include: the time we got stuck on Splash Mountain, chimpanzees in space, the opening scene's overdubbing, how the space program is just a higher-budget Jackass, SKYLAB truths, how the space program is just PR, the sort-of cast reunion in AD ASTRA, the fascinating life of Rade Šerbedžija, OSIRIS-REx, N*SYNC, climate "moonshots," and more.

Two tears in a bucket...time to podcast! We're interrogating Clint Eastwood's 1997 Savannah murder trial adaptation MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, and it's basically all context today, folks! The bestselling book of it all, the Kevin Spacey of it all, the Savannah of it all, and most importantly the Lady Chablis of it all - we're covering it. We also discuss notions of truth, Hoodoo as a practice of resistance, and finally introduce Ian's powerful and dangerous teenage crush on Smallville actress Kristin Kreuk. Good ep! Check it out!

Topics include: what to do with Nazi memorabilia, Northern chauvinism, Savannah city planning, unfortunately more discussion of THE FLASH, accidentally rooting for the Taliban, a little transgender history, Jake's hot FIFTH ELEMENT take, Ian's very tepid FIFTH ELEMENT take, and more.

Have a seat in your favorite concealed armchair, because it's time for our episode on Eastwood's 1997 not-quite-Clinton crime family thriller ABSOLUTE POWER! We're joined by Nima Shirazi, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast, to break down the film's parallels to the not-yet-broken Lewinsky scandal, the William Goldman of it all, and whether this film is just Clint explaining that his absent parenting style is good, actually. Check it out!

Topics include: Judy Davis's Hillary haircut, Clint's friend Leon Panetta, near-death experiences, live sports alibis, accidentally having chemistry with your real-life daughter, the film's surprising connection to JACKASS FOREVER, we devise a perfect plan to replace the US presidency with a completely incorruptible institution (jk), and more!

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.]
