Ep. 84 Cry Macho

“A guy wants to name his cock ‘Macho,’ it’s fine by me.” We’re
joined by filmmaker Bill Teck to discuss the latest film from Clint
Eastwood, Cry Macho. Mr. Teck previously joined us to discuss
Eastwood’s 2019 film Richard Jewell and remains our favorite person
with whom to discuss the 91 year-old star-auteur. We place the film
within the larger context of Eastwood’s complicated career and its
nearing end. The film follows a deeply washed-up rodeo star who
travels to Mexico City on behalf of his former boss to find the
man’s teenage son. We discuss how the film takes on the gentle
rhythms of its aged star’s physical movements, the sweetness and
generosity of its approach, and how satisfying it is to watch
Eastwood slowly pet animals that are clearly calmed by his
presence. The Pink Smoke site: www.thepinksmoke.com The Pink Smoke
