Ep. 54 Eastwood Double Feature
from The Pink Smoke podcast Hosted by The Pink Smoke
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.
