Ep. 54 Eastwood Double Feature

For Clint Eastwood’s 90th birthday, hosts Christopher Funderburg
and John Cribbs have each selected one of the actor/director’s
films to discuss. This Eastwood Double Feature looks at Don
Siegel’s The Beguiled and Eastwood’s own Unforgiven, a pair of
films that illustrate why the star-auteur achieved his iconic
status while remaining hard to pin down as an artist. The intense
hothouse sexual politics of The Beguiled and the irony-soaked
destruction (and rebuilding) of myths found in Unforgiven serve as
a jumping off point to exploring Eastwood’s cinematic legacy,
philosophies and elusive politics. It’s an unflinching discussion
of one of cinema’s most towering, embattled, and controversial
figures. The Pink Smoke site:
