Episode 205 - Every Which Way But Loose (Any Which Movie But This…)

Clint Eastwood and his ape best friend, Clyde, travel the American West in search of love and fistfights. At least that’s what we think this so-called 1978 blockbuster comedy was about. It’s a shambolic, terminally unfunny mess of a film about toxic masculinity and bad country music, as far as we could decipher. It is also Eastwood’s weirdest film ever, one we thought would be an enjoyable lark. You’d think pairing the Man With No Name with an orangutan for some hijinks would be a no-brainer. You’d be dead wrong. That this was one of the highest-grossing movies the year it was released ultimately left us wondering: WTF was up with 1978? | 0:00 - Intros | 4:00 - The Exploring Series https://youtube.com/c/TheExploringSeries / The SCP Foundation (YouTube): https://youtu.be/cZXd5d4VVEY | 9:25 - ABBA Voyaga and ABBA: The Concert | 15:55 - Eternals (2021) | 27:55 - The Sparks Brothers (2021) | 31:30 - Every Which Way But Loose (1978) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Eddie Rabbit - Every Which Way But Loose | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Clip from The SCP Foundation | ABBA - Don’t Shut Me Down | ABBA: The Concert - Knowing Me Knowing You (Live) | ABBA - Keep an Eye on Dan | Ramin Djawadi - Eternals Theme | Clip From Parks and Recreation | Sparks - Dick Around | Sparks - Eaten By The Monster of Love | Sparks - Tarzan and Jane | Sparks - Mustache | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Every Which Way But Loose (Sexy Sex Scene Soundtrack) | Jerry Reed - Eastbound and Down
