Episode 87 - How Guys Talk To One Another (Part 2: 1990-2018)

It's time for some healthy male banter, as the original trio of RP hosts complete their odyssey through the life, work and politics of Clint Eastwood. In this second and final Eastwood episode, we go from 1990's The Rookie to 2018's The Mule, out now in UK cinemas (although none of us have ever seen it yet - thinking a Mule special might be necessary.) Along the way we encounter his masterpiece, Unforgiven, the dubious racial politics of Gran Torino, a consistent penchant for a liberal both-sides-ism, and a slide from libertarian iconoclasm into straightforward conservatism, best exemplified by American Sniper (2014), and his 2012 Republican National Convention speech where he has a go at a chair. It's a wild ride, dealing with a wild life.
