00:00 - 38:42 - Escape from Alcatraz 38:42 - 54:30 - Malcolm in the Middle 54:30 - 1:06:01 - e-mail The final film of the Don Siegel-Clint Eastwood partnership finally answers the question, what if Bresson’s A Man Escaped was actually cool, muscular, and American, rather than mopey, rail-thin, and French? One of the darkest, most moody, and purely direct thrillers of its era. We talked about Siegel and Eastwood’s split authorship and evolution as artists, individuals bucking a broken system, our visits to the real Alcatraz, and more. Then, on MiTM (38:42) JT takes an epic voyage to go see Barbie. Malcolm gets dark with Todd Solondz’ Life During Wartime, and Eddie gives it up for the Oppenheimer antidote, Kurosawa’s I Live in Fear. Finally, an e-mail (54:30) about aging and the movies. support the show at https://www.patreon.com/Extended_Clip for five dollars a month, you get an extra episode every week. we also put the video feed of this episode up there, so you can see the real flow chart described in JT’s Barbie story.
