Pod Casty For Me

It wasn't G-d who made HONKYTONK MAN podcasts...it was us! Join us for a conversation about Clint Eastwood's 1982 Depression-set country music road trip drama, careening from Grand Ole Opry history to Oklahoma Land Runs to discussion of whose uncles are the most unwell. It's a foot-stompin' good time. Throw your arms around this freaking episode, why don't you?

We are writing this episode description directly via thought waves! Also typing!

It's the FIREFOX episode, folks, and we're talking all about the 1982 Cold War mind-controlled spyplane thriller some have called "Clint Eastwood's STAR WARS," which is funny to do! Join us for a daring infiltration of the film's real-life inspirations, the particular early-Reagan geopolitical climate in which it was made, and the sundry White House creeps Clint rubbed elbows with at the Kennedy Center premiere.

Topics include: Taking a Gander, our fondness for practical effects, Jake finds a way to bring up Back to the Future: The Ride, PTSD, PASSENGER 57, Soviet dissidents, the SR-71 Blackbird, Hollywood depictions of life in the USSR, the largely-European cast's other credits, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (obviously), the absence of comparable Soviet action spy thrillers, the fabled summer of 1982, FIRST BLOOD, paramilitary weirdo Bo Gritz, and more!

Beers to you, dear listener - it's a new episode of the show! Today we're joined by Managing Editor of The Film Stage, Nick Newman (@Nick_Newman), for a movie that's extremely stupid: Buddy Van Horn's Clint-and-Clyde sequel ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN. This one's got all the animal actor rights and Jackson Hole context you could want, plus three adult men politely complimenting each other on their appearance. What are you waiting for? Listen now!

Topics include: legacy sequels, going to Europe to dodge labor laws, William Smith's strange pre-Hollywood career, calling our shot re: new Clint memes, Jake proposes legislation to require animals to have last names, strong predictions that Trump will never be indicted (lol), and much more.

Gather round, little pards: the BRONCO BILLY episode's in town! Join Ian "Handsy Bill" Rhine and Jake "Steel Arlo" Serwin as they talk Clint Eastwood's 1980 Capraesque neo-western comedy, the history of wild west shows, the famous Scatman Crothers story, and get into an argument about THE FABELMANS, of all things. It's a good one!

Topics include: the Romy Mars Tiktok, workplace safety, a new edition of Runny News, which GRANDPA movie is which, Damien Chazelle's BABYLON, production designer Gene Lourie, face masks, Sitting Bull, analyze the film in conversation with Altman's BUFFALO BILL AND THE INDIANS, and much more.

Uh oh, the episode's good! Sorry, we're trying to remove it. Anyway today we are getting into Clint's final collaboration with Don Siegel, 1979's prison breakout movie ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ, and we're joined by activist and Mitigation Specialist for Youth Justice Network, Chris Alfonso! Join us for a discussion of prison life, the nature of punishment, imagining a post-carceral world, and much more. Also Clint is n*de in this movie. This is a special one, folks.

Put up your dukes! We're turning EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE this episode to talk about James Fargo's 1978 bare-knuckle boxing hangout road trip orangutan movie, which we both like many parts of while still somehow not really enjoying the film. There's also plenty of San Fernando Valley history, Nazi biker discussion (critical), and Jake tells a story about a moviegoer so rude she sent him spiraling into despair. Give it a listen!

Topics include: SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, the American Humane Association, allegations of animal mistreatment on the set of this film (sort of), Las Vegas ape act impresario Bobby Berosini, the weirdness of animal rights people who aren't also human rights people, PETA's whole deal, a largely apocryphal history of the Palomino Club, more Locke Talk, movies with low stakes, The Gene LeBell Story, Beverly D'Angelo, and, for no particular reason, here's a list of bail funds.

Lock(e) and load, it's time to run...THE GAUNTLET (1977)! Jake and Ian get to the bottom of Clint Eastwood's shockingly pro-sex-work, anti-cop action comedy road movie and dig deep on Sondra Locke. There's also lots of praise for MIDNIGHT RUN, obviously. Give it a listen!

Topics include: SHAFT IN AFRICA, cop corruption scandals, Vinnie Jones, "vital statistics," pig iron, new misogynist phrases, Josh Brolin's stepmother Barbra Streisand, and Frank Gorshin's impressions.

Actually you're late uploading YOUR podcast! Today we're digging into the third Dirty Harry film, James Fargo's THE ENFORCER. We're talking women in law enforcement, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the occupation of Alcatraz by Native activists, all that stuff. Plus another visit to a certain crime zone...

Topics include: fake names, Jake's dad's fondness for Hugo Boss cologne, the film's title, Ian brings up Richard Donner's TIMELINE like that's normal to do, communiqués, "Stockholm Syndrome," THE OTHER GUYS, and the co-hosts shock absolutely no one by knowing the same gross bird fact, plus more!

Check it out, punks.

We got ourselves a juicy new episode and we're spitting it at your dog! Sorry! We shouldn't do that, it's mean. Anyway time to talk THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES with our friend, labor attorney Eric Markovits (@thechancegiver). We all scrambled to become Civil War scholars in a week to make sense of the politics here, so you're welcome. Settle in for a hell of a ride once we get talking about the guy who wrote the book, too. Enjoy the show! Buzzards gotta listen to podcasts, same as worms!

Topics include: Bleeding Kansas, ANIMAL HOUSE, Chief Dan George, Geraldine Keams, Lost Cause bullshit, the DGA's "Eastwood Rule," not Sondra Locke really because that'll be on THE GAUNTLET episode, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and more!

Got a mountain-sized episode for ya, folks. Today we're attempting Eastwood's spy thriller THE EIGER SANCTION with writer John Semley (@johnsemley3000) and talking the difficulty of making an American Bond, the deadly injury on the set of this film, and even more George Kennedy appreciation than last week's episode. Listen to it or be sanctioned (just kidding, it's fine)!

Topics include: the water in Oaxaca, Jake doesn't know anything about football, scurrying through hatches, some quick and dirty espionage history, Clint's little shorts, Jack Cassidy, the film's casual but intense homophobia, Tom Cruise, the Vanderpump empire, Brenda Venus's strange life, and much more.
