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?

2023/07/14

It's the ugliest godd*mn podcast you've ever seen, back again for another episode. We are pleased as punch to be talking about Clint Eastwood's 1990 adaptation WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART, a thinly-disguised account of the production of John Huston's THE AFRICAN QUEEN. A very good movie about a just-OK movie, we both agree! Join us for a chat about the sort of Larger-Than-Life white men like Huston and Hemingway that we used to be impressed by and now find tiresome, Hollywood depictions of Africa,

Lambert, associate professor of African and African American Studies at Fordham University and author of the book Comrade Sister: Caribbean Feminist Revisions of the Grenada Revolution. We talk about the film's extremely casual engagement with the facts of the 1983 American invasion of Grenada, consider its failure as a satire, if that's even what it's trying to do, and

Two movie stars...three guys chatting...one episode!!

They say a podcast must choose between being funny and being insightful. They're wrong! On today's hugely fun episode, we're joined by Aaron and Carlee from the terrific Hit Factory podcast to talk Richard Tuggle's 1984 sleazy serial killer thriller TIGHTROPE - with all the dog rescue stories, sex worker rights history, and do-cops-deserve-empathy conversations you can handle.
