Ep. 18: Sudden Impact (1983) with Dr. Joe Street

Go ahead, listen to this episode! We are beyond thrilled to be joined for our discussion of the fourth Dirty Harry film, SUDDEN IMPACT, by the man who literally wrote the book on Dirty Harry: Dr. Joe Street, author of Dirty Harry's America: Clint Eastwood, Harry Callahan, and the Conservative Backlash. From "Make my day" to Santa Cruz history to Reagan's cruel legacy of spending cuts to Sondra Locke's sunglasses, we cover it all on this one, folks. There's even a novelty song and a farfetched theory about an androgynous bulldog that probably should have been cut out of the episode. But we left it in for you, the listener, whom we love and cherish! Please give this one a listen, it was a wonderful discussion and we're excited to share it with you. [There are some minor audio issues that we did our best to clean up, so be nice to us about it.] Purchase Dr. Street's book Dirty Harry's America here (it's way better than our show): https://upf.com/book.asp?id=9780813061672   https://www.podcastyforme.com/ Follow Pod Casty For Me: https://twitter.com/podcastyforme https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/ https://www.youtube.com/@podcastyforme Artwork by Jeremy Allison: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyallisonart
