Episode 64: A Perfect World

On this episode we dive into the 1993 film A Perfect World, part
two of our Clint Eastwood double-feature. Directed by Eastwood,
the film was his follow-up to Unforgiven and features Kevin
Costner in one of his best roles as Butch, an escaped convict who
kidnaps a young boy. As they journey across the countryside, an
unexpected bond forms between them. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood
plays a detective torn between his moral compass and upholding
the law. We check out whether A Perfect World deserves to be
among Eastwood’s best movies and Costner’s best performance.


Other topics include Eastwood’s possible final film, Juror #2,
the end of Hollywood’s old guard, Costner’s iconic early '90s
career peak, upholding the 90s in film and music, discovering
