12
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.920
you know, listeners, these guys, they showed up. They've got

13
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.799
their sweater vests on their their sport
coats. They are looking like San Francisco's

14
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.920
finest and that's a good thing because
we are getting dirty today. Join us

15
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:42.480
as we talk about the enforcer.
We don't give back to you sometimes not

16
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.319
you. What are you protecting these
people for? You know how many they've

17
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.000
killed? Sacrifices have to be made
to Oh, you can count on that.

18
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:59.120
East is back. The dirtiest Harry
of them all, The Enforcer rate

19
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:06.560
it all. The tagline for this
one, the dirtiest Harry of them all.

20
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.159
I gotta tell you, like you
know, five movies, Clint does

21
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.319
five movies, five Dirty Harry movies. This one you take, you take

22
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.879
the original out of out of the
running. I think this one's my favorite.

23
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.039
So I totally agree with you.
The first one is the best.

24
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.879
I have a soft spot in my
heart for the one with guns and roses,

25
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.520
But yeah, I think this one
is probably the second best. Yeah,

26
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.680
I agree with that. Yeah,
how about you, David? So,

27
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.560
my introduction to Dirty Harry was sudden
impact. I kind of watched them

28
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.800
out of order. But this was
years ago, man, when I was

29
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.159
young. But yeah, I would
say, obviously Dirty Harry is probably the

30
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
best. But I would go with
you guys too. The Enforcer is probably

31
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.280
my favorite after watching all of them. Jason. I want to point out

32
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.680
that Dave's introduction to Dirty Harry was
the one starring Sondra Locke and he and

33
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:02.400
he came back for more. I
know that's pretty imprecious, those ugly faces.

34
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.120
Yeah, you know, with with
with all respect to to Sondra Locke,

35
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:13.919
Sudden Impact had a really cool storyline, you know, and it had

36
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.560
the greatest tagline of the nineteen eighties, without a doubt, that go ahead

37
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.240
make my day. Oh yeah,
it was everywhere in nineteen eighty three.

38
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:28.719
Callahan Callahan always this is. If
there's one thing that that the enforcer lacks,

39
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.599
it's the signature catchphrase, because you
know, you know, like you

40
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.840
said, go ahead make my days. Probably that might be the most iconic

41
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.639
Dirty Harry line catchphrase, next to
the you know, the original do you

42
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.039
feel lucky? Punk? Right?
Yeah, this one he doesn't really you

43
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.159
know, he says, uh,
what is it? You can count on

44
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.960
it? I think I think he
says like something like you can count on

45
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.240
it, like once or twice.
Seem like to me, they were they

46
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.919
were trying to make He kept saying
marvelous that's right, yeah, get it.

47
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.439
Yeah, yeah. Anytime something didn't
go his way, he was like

48
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.039
sarcastically, he was like marvelous.
Yeah, yeah, usually focus an officer

49
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:12.159
more of course, but yeah,
we'll get to her. Uh so this

50
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.000
film, you know, we've got
two popular Dirty Harry movies at this point.

51
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.800
Now the we're doing Moving Targets,
which is changed to Dirty Harry three,

52
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.759
and then ultimately Clint changes it to
the Enforcer. And I think if

53
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.120
memory serves, he I know,
he got sued at one point from like

54
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.079
a writer or another filmmaker who said
that they he stole the Enforcer from from

55
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.879
from him, and then Clint's like, no, it's a it's a Bogart

56
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.439
movie called, you know, called
The Enforcer, and that's where I got

57
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.639
it from. And that's a Warner
Brothers movie. So interesting, you know,

58
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.720
Okay, Court, you know,
as memory serves, they you know,

59
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.079
judged through it out and said,
no, you're not seeing this guy

60
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.800
was into some film students who came
up with this idea for this script.

61
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.879
But then they they changed it obviously
to mold into this movie. Isn't that

62
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.279
where this came from? Or so
there's like three two scripts that become one.

63
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.040
Initially there's two film students, Dave, You're right, there's two film

64
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.040
students. They are captivated by the
Dirty Hair character. They write their own

65
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:15.920
script, which introduces like the you
know, like the terrorist organization the I

66
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.399
forget what they're calling this one,
the People's Revolutionary Strikeforce. Oh yeah,

67
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:26.959
yeah, that sounds like something right
out of G I Joe. Yeah yeah,

68
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.240
so yeah, they they do that, and I know that their whole

69
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.199
thing was they took inspiration from the
Patty Hurst situation, you know, where

70
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:39.279
she's kidnapped and then joins the Gorilla
Army or whatever. You got to give

71
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.759
these guys credit because they're unknowns.
Right. They show up at if you

72
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.759
know, I think if I'm remembering
it right, they showed up at Clint's

73
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.360
restaurant. Basically they just wait wait
him out, like they were like,

74
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.480
you know, he's got to show
up sometime, and they give it to

75
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.000
one of his h his producing partners
or something like that. They you know,

76
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.560
He's like, I'll let him have
it. Amazingly enough, this guy

77
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.519
did deliver it, and Clint's like, I like the idea, but this

78
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.160
needs a whole lot of work.
And then meanwhile, it's the screenwriter for

79
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.120
In the Heat of the Night,
the guy that won the Academy Award.

80
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:19.199
He writes a script for Warner Brothers, and this introduces the female partner aspect.

81
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:26.360
But it's it's really light on action, right. So Clint looks at

82
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.199
that one and then he tells this. Clint Eastwood tells an Academy Award winning

83
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.360
writer like, hey, you know, or keep your female partner, dump

84
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.160
the rest, and then rewrite this
script from these film school guys. And

85
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.600
that's where you get the Enforcer.
That's cool, great story man. I've

86
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.279
got some tidbits for you on the
Dirty Harry character. I don't know when

87
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.160
you want me to bring them,
but I'll tell you what. Let's let's

88
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.639
get let's talk a little bit about
it before we get into this movie and

89
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.519
the cast, Let's talk a little
bit about the history. So, yeah,

90
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.439
break it down for us, Jason, give us a little dirty,

91
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.639
dirty hairy history lesson. Okay,
So before I start, interestingly enough,

92
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:05.399
I don't know how to set this
upright, But what does Dirty Harry and

93
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:13.399
John McClain have in common? Well, detective boat well detectives, both detective

94
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.959
detectives, disdain for authority. Okay, I know you got an answer.

95
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.160
Yeah here it is. Dirty Harry
and John McClain were both originally supposed to

96
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:30.319
be played by Frank Sinatra. What
yes, Okay, so I know Sinatra

97
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.920
was gonna be John McLain from you
know, based off the novel. But

98
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.720
right, how did do you have
any background on how that how that was

99
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.240
coming together? So here's what I
know about the Dirty Harry movie. So

100
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.720
this is pre The Enforcer, Okay, so this is way back before nineteen

101
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.839
seventy one, so sixties okay,
yeah, okay. This is who they

102
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:57.279
offered the role of Dirty Harry too, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Robert

103
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.079
Mitchum, Steve McQueen, Bert Lancaster, George C. Scott, Paul Newman,

104
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:09.879
and Marlon Brando. That is a
murderer's row of talent. And truthfully,

105
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.920
I would say maybe half of them
are qualified to play Callahan. So

106
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.480
here's the deal. They Morten Brothers
buys the script, a script called Dead

107
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:24.439
Right. They bring Frank Sinatra,
they hire him to play Dirty Harry,

108
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:31.040
and they bring in Irving Kirshner to
direct. Irving Kirshner, who directs The

109
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:37.039
Empires strikes back, ye right,
And so so John Millius comes in to

110
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.679
write the script. He brings in
the element of the lone wolf Cup who's

111
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.720
just out for justice, and Frank
Sinatra doesn't like the way it's going,

112
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.200
so he bails, and when he
bails, there goes Irving Kershner and it

113
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.399
bounces around for a little bit until
they land Clint Eastwood. So I just

114
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.480
thought that was fascinating. I love
that. Now, before I know,

115
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.440
you got a little bit more for
us. But before we do that,

116
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.639
thoughts on who would have who would
have made a good a good Harry out

117
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.000
out of out of the list you
just gave us whol who would be your

118
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.000
pick? Jason, if you're if
you're sitting at Warner Brother Studio and you

119
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.240
gotta make the choice, I'm going
Steve McQueen. He had the cool factor.

120
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.360
Yea, some of these guys were
past their prime. Of course,

121
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.320
Clinton runs it runs at about two
and a half miles per hour throughout this

122
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:28.000
entire movie. But but I like
the Steve McQueen, tough guy. Mm

123
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.919
hmm. I think I think McQueen
was probably gonna be the way to go.

124
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.960
Although this is this is after bullet
so or is it it's after bullet?

125
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.879
Yeah? Does it? If?
If? If in the alternate you

126
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.960
know, we love going to writ
movies at the alternate UH universe video store,

127
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.279
But in that in that universe,
UH is McQueen's role as a Frank

128
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.120
Bullet is it Is it diminished if
he's dirty Harry? Maybe maybe, I

129
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.159
don't know. So it's interesting he
rejected this script. He didn't want to

130
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.720
taint what he had done with Bullet. Oh, and he called this script

131
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.879
too right wing for him. And
as we know, Clint Eastwood's very republican.

132
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.639
Yes, you know, I had
had a coach in high school who

133
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.279
believed in the electric couch, right, so not just the electric chair.

134
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.080
Let's let's hook three people up at
the same time, right, And Clint

135
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.120
seems like that type of guy.
Right, Yeah, you're committing crime in

136
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.320
my city. I'm gonna blow you
away. I love it. He's perfect

137
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.440
for him, Yeah, ultimately he
is. You know, he's the number

138
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.320
one choice out of that No,
it's I just don't see anybody else besides

139
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.320
this in this role in Clint Easwood. Yeah, I'm either guys. I

140
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.200
might have a thought on that later. So okay, So here's the thing

141
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.559
I got for you. On The
Enforcer. It's directed by a guy named

142
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.960
James Fargo, and he goes on
to direct Clint Eastwood in every which way

143
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.559
but loose, which is of course
Clint and Clyde. You know the rangutank.

144
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.440
Oh yeah, you guys cover that
on the Shirley podcast as we did.

145
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.679
We did that was a lot of
fun. We did every which way

146
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.080
but lose versus any which way you
can. Yeah. And James Fargo had

147
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.039
been a production manager on Jaws,
and to me this seems like one of

148
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.120
those things where everything that Jaw and
like anybody who had been associated with Jaws

149
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.399
could just get a job after nineteen
seventy five. Yeah, Now, then

150
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:31.799
get this. Clint's stuntman for the
Enforcer. Guy's name is Buddy Van Horn.

151
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.360
Do you guys know this? I
know the name, but I don't

152
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.799
know where you're going. Yeah,
go for it. So he had been

153
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.679
with Clint Eastwood, done a lot
of movies with Clint. He's in the

154
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.879
Stuntman Hall of Fame. He actually
goes on to direct Clint in any which

155
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.799
way you can. That's where it
is. That's where I knew the name

156
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.840
you again from your episode. Yeah, so I got something on Fargo for

157
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.120
you. Okay, you might know
that, you might know this, but

158
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.639
uh, when we started the nineteen
seventy six series, we opened, we

159
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.440
did we did a Clint Eastwood movie. We did the Outlaw Josie Wales with

160
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:13.519
your good buddy Dee Graves Jess and
we talked about what's known as like the

161
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:20.039
Clint Eastwood rule, Right, Clint
famously fired the director of Outlaw Josie Wales

162
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:26.360
and then kind of took over the
production. And you can't do that anymore,

163
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.600
you know, And you can't do
that because of Clint east Wood,

164
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.399
Like you know, uh, you
got you gotta remember, Josie Wales comes

165
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.919
out in the summer. The Enforcer
is coming out in the winter. So

166
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.480
Clint was originally going to direct this
movie, but after all the issues that

167
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.120
he had on Outlaw Josie Wales,
he did not have the time to prep

168
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.240
and do you know, do his
scouting and all that stuff. So he

169
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.399
had no choice but to lean on
his assistant director, James Fargo, who

170
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.519
he knew he had worked with before, he knew he was comfortable with.

171
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.000
And these guys famously got along.
So you know, I'm sure Clint was

172
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.120
doing a little bit of a you
know, armchair quarterbacking on this one as

173
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.000
well. But yeah, you know, if your buddy's directing it, you

174
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.360
know you're going to listen to him, especially if your buddy's name is Clint

175
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.960
Eastoods. James Fargo also directed some
episodes of a TV series. Some people

176
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.840
may not be aware of it,
and I'm sure you guys are, and

177
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.320
that is Tales of the Golden Monkey. Do you guys remember that? Yes,

178
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.600
he did that, Yeah, he
sure did. Raiders are the Lost

179
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.799
Dark TV show, right, exactly, yeah, exactly, yep, you

180
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.240
had the dog. Oh yeah,
wow, good one. Yeah. So

181
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.000
I know this was the I know
the enforcement was supposed to be the final

182
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.480
installment in the Dirty Harry franchise.
You know some couple of characters that we've

183
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.960
seen the first two movies, you
know, they it's the final time we're

184
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.279
going to see him, you know, his partner, Di Giorgio. He

185
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.759
gets killed in the line of duty. But it's not the last Dirty Harry

186
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.600
movie obviously. You know. This
is Warner Brothers. This is Clint.

187
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.840
You know he kinda he kind of
quietly runs things over there. Yeah,

188
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.720
and they make like a they privately
make an agreement like, hey, just

189
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.360
keep pumping these out and you can
go on to make whatever you want.

190
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.000
So this is where Clint says,
all right, I'll do one for you,

191
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.399
and then I'll do one for me, and this is where he starts.

192
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.080
You know, when we start seeing
like Clint each would not play a

193
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.559
cowboy and not play a cop.
This, you know we have we have

194
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.480
the Enforcer to thank for that because
you know it obviously is wildly popular and

195
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.480
you know, Warner Brothers like we
got to have more. So, h

196
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.559
that's great, man, that's cool. I've got a little tidbit for you

197
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.759
on if we want to talk cast. I don't know when you want to

198
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.799
do that, but I've got some
cool tidbits for you on that all right,

199
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.600
before we get Before we do cast, I do want to point out

200
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.559
something because I spotted this. I
think maybe the I don't know third fourth

201
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.399
time I ever watched this movie.
Now, Jason, you might not have

202
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.480
noticed this, but Dave, this
is this is kind of significant for Dave

203
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.440
and I. Dave and I obviously
we are based in Cincinnati, Ohio.

204
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.879
The mayor in the movie. In
this movie, the mayor is at the

205
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.919
Giants game. He's at Candlestick Park, right, and then that's where he

206
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.360
gets kidnapped from. So here's something
that I thought was really cool for our

207
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.240
baseball fans, for our Cincinnati Reds
fans. The mayor is watching his San

208
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.440
Francisco Giants play the Cincinnati Reds.
Now when you go back, you know,

209
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.799
because this wasn't like a he's there. It's an actual ball game if

210
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.840
you watch the movie. So this
is the Giants game on August fourth,

211
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.399
nineteen seventy six. I want to
point out this is our this day,

212
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.919
this is our World Series champion Reds, you know, because they're world champions

213
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.879
from seventy five. They're on a
hot streak in seventy six, and you

214
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.279
see the batter that strikes out.
This breaks my heart because it's one of

215
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.600
my heroes. But Pete Rose is
the batter that strikes out. You got,

216
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.240
you got Kim Griffy on deck,
and I just love the fact that,

217
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.679
you know, let's do a ball
game. It's a summer day and

218
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.960
uh oh, the Reds are in
town. So that's cool. I was

219
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:10.320
really hoping you were going to say
Oklahoma native Johnny Bench uh did something on

220
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.440
the field there. Yeah, yeah, he I'm sure he was there that

221
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.080
day, but he does not make
the final cutout the enforcer. But it's

222
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.480
funny you mentioned that. I didn't
even recognize that was the Reds. But

223
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.600
like when I was watching the scene, I was like, with the red

224
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.879
helmets, I was like, oh, that looks like the Reds. It

225
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:30.200
didn't even dawn on me. Yeah, it was, you know, I

226
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.679
remember. I want to say it
was I think the first time. I

227
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.840
gotta give credit to my dad.
Actually, I think the first time I

228
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.679
noticed it. He points out,
you know, oh yeah, look because

229
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:42.720
Pete Rose has that very you know, unique batting stance. You know.

230
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.639
Then you know, Dave, you
you know, and I know it.

231
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.759
And that's like, oh wait.
It was my dad who was like,

232
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.960
yeah, that's Pete right there.
It's awesome, what you know. Of

233
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.519
course that was a time like it's
it's on TBS, we can't like necessarily

234
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.879
rewind it. But you know,
after that, I was like, yep,

235
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.360
that's right. So that's cool.
I love that about this movie.

236
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.359
Jason. You you mentioned the cast, like the let's get into this cast

237
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.440
a little bit. Okay. So
obviously we have superstar Clint Eastwood. He's

238
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.000
been in a million things. We
we know him as Dirty Harry and of

239
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.079
course the Man with No Name and
I a million other things. He goes

240
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.519
on to become a very successful director
in his later years. So a couple

241
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.440
of things I noticed, because we
covered every which way but loose in any

242
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.599
which way you can this summer,
I recognize a few familiar faces in the

243
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:37.119
terrorist group. We're actually in any
which way you can. Mhm. Okay,

244
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:42.720
who you got? So the guy
who he kills with the laws rocket

245
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:48.240
at the very end on Alcatraz.
Oh, Bobby Maxwell, the main hell

246
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.599
not the main guy right before he
kills Bobby Maxwell, last guy that he

247
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:57.039
takes the rocket from. Yeah,
okay, that's the the bare knuckle brawler

248
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.359
that he fights at the very beginning
of any which way you can, alright.

249
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.200
And then the guy who is kind
of the first henchman to Bobby.

250
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.400
Yeah, he's the guy who proposes
the bet for in any which way you

251
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.559
can to clint Ey Swid. So
clearly Clint is having hiring decisions because these

252
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:23.640
guys show up in later movies.
Well, yeah, it's funny you mentioned

253
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:30.039
that one, Jason, because Dave
and I just this past weekend we were

254
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:36.160
in Detroit. We got to meet
meet and greed a couple legendary actors and

255
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:41.440
actresses, and one of them happened
to be mister Donald Gibb, who you

256
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.359
probably are well aware of as an
Ogre from Revenge of the Nerves. He's

257
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.720
Jackson from blood Sport. He also
happened to be in one of the Henchmen

258
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:56.440
in Any which Way you can.
Yep, really uncredited. I had a

259
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.119
great conversation with him. We talked
about some of his earlier roles and I

260
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.279
got more on that next week on
a film buy. But just an outstanding

261
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.920
guy, fun to talk with.
And yeah, any which way you can

262
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.240
was his actually nineteen eighty that's his
his film debut, even though he's he's

263
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:17.240
uncredited in it. Wow, that's
great, man. Yeah, I got

264
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.400
a couple other names for you,
just henchman wise. Okay, So we

265
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.359
have Joscelyn Jones who plays kind of
the She's Mickey. She's kind of the

266
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.680
sexy hitchhiker. Yeah, and she's
one of those where you know, she

267
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.079
sticks her leg out to get some
attention. But when it scrolls up,

268
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:42.279
I was like, whoa, yeah, yeah, I know what I had

269
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:48.160
to say. I'm laughing because I
had the exact same reaction the last time

270
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:56.160
I watched this, you know,
yeah apparently Yeah. And then of course

271
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.079
you've got this guy named de Van
Bookride or who plays Bobby mm hmm.

272
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.440
Yeah, and he's he just kind
of was just a guy. I mean,

273
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.440
he'd been in The Omega Man and
he'd done some TV, but nothing

274
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:15.519
really prominent from him. He actually
was in Magnum Force uncredited. Okay,

275
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.480
if you remember, and I don't
know how long ago you watched Magnum Force,

276
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:25.359
but the naked guy that was doing
cocaine that the officer shoots, Yeah,

277
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.920
same guy. And if yeah,
if I've got if I've got one,

278
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.440
if I've got one complaint about the
Dirty Harry franchise, it's that Clint

279
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.559
just keeps bringing back the same people, but he keeps putting them in different

280
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:41.799
roles. And I know we're gonna
talk about one of those guys here in

281
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.680
a second. Yeah, I mean, like the guy. I know he's

282
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.440
playing a psychopath, but he looks
like an absolute psychopath. Mm hmm.

283
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.279
Like his like talk about the thousand
yards stare. This guy just owns it,

284
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.240
right, those pale blue eyes.
Man, he's scary, looks like

285
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.480
a kook. Yeah. You know
his great moment in this movie when MICKI

286
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.960
get shot and Clint's buddy from any
which way you can is like, no,

287
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.720
she's fine, I'm gonna get you
out of here. We're gonna save

288
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.720
you. And he comes out.
He's like, no, she's dead.

289
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.000
She's dead, and he's like,
she's not dead, and then he goes

290
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.519
kamoon, kamoon, kamoom, Yeah, like now she's dead. I was

291
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.599
like, good, now, okay, that's kind of his signature moment for

292
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.839
me. That is definitely that guy's
signature moment. What are the most brutal

293
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.400
moments in a film? Like?
I mean, you want to be a

294
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.200
memorable bad guy that you you?
I think you owned it there. Okay,

295
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.480
I got something for you on Time
Daily before you get to our man

296
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.559
Albert Popwell, can I say,
can I? Can I give you one

297
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.720
more of your henchman? Yeah?
Yeah, I can't believe you didn't mention

298
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.480
this one. And Dave, I
don't know where you're at, but hanging

299
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.200
out in the back of the van. I didn't even need to look this

300
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.720
up. As soon as I saw
the guy's face, I knew exactly who

301
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:56.559
he was. You know, he's
a hinchman. I don't know what his

302
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.240
what his name was, I don't
remember his name, but Dick Durrock is

303
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.440
one of the guys in the van
when they go to steal all the weapons

304
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.839
where where Mickey gets shot. Yeah, big Duroc who played the swamp thing

305
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.440
you know next to Yeah, dude, his face is unmistakable. Yeah.

306
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.559
I was like, whoa, that's
a good one. Yeah, good job.

307
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.559
Okay, So let's talk about Tyn
Daily for a second. She plays

308
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.799
Kate Moore, who's like thrown in
with Clint and she's got to keep up

309
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.119
and he's like this, this girl's
crazy. She can't keep up with me.

310
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:36.079
Marvelous. So she was in Cagney
and Lacey. We probably most people

311
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.880
who are in our wheelhouse know her
as Marybeth Lacey from the TV show Cagney

312
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:47.559
Cagney Lacey. Her dad is James
Daily. Now, he's a famous movie

313
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.960
actor. He's been in a bunch
of TV stuff. He played Flint in

314
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:56.720
the original Star Trek for you Star
Trek Guys. Oh hey, okay,

315
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.319
one episode. I don't know.
I don't know that and that's for you

316
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.480
guys, you know, but he
had been in a bunch of shows.

317
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.799
So anyway, he's a famous television
actor from like the fifties and sixties.

318
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.759
Okay, I didn't know her family
was in the business Okay, So get

319
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:12.400
this. So her dad been in
a bunch of stuff from fifties and sixties.

320
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.839
He's a famous actor. Of course, Tyne Daily has was in Cagney

321
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.200
Lays, which ran for six or
seven seasons. So she's a famous television

322
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:26.400
actor. Her brother is Tim Daily, who played Joe Hackett on Wings.

323
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:33.480
Yes, and so when you're talking
about like TV royalty, dad's been in

324
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.599
I think they set some sort of
record where dad had been in a television

325
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.200
series that ran over six seasons,
daughter in a television series that had run

326
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.200
over six seasons, and son had
been in a television show that ran over

327
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.559
six seasons. So unbelievable. I
never knew that. I never connected her

328
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:57.000
to Tim Daily because obviously loved him
on Wings, and more so he's Dave

329
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.599
backed me up here. Might be
one of the better voice actors to uh

330
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:08.240
to do to do the Superman role
animated movies. Absolutely, Yeah, you

331
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:12.039
mentioned you mentioned Cagney and Lacey.
I know this movie is directly responsible for

332
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.440
her getting that role. If I'm
not mistaken, I would assume. So

333
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:22.200
yeah, she says, yeah,
she she turns this script. I think

334
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.480
about this. This is this is
pre Cagy and Lacy and I don't have

335
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.880
her phomography in front of you.
But she turns this script down three times

336
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:36.480
before she agrees to do this movie. She didn't like the romantic attachment between

337
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:41.279
her and Clint, which maybe that
wasn't an earlier draft, because I correct

338
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.119
me if I'm wrong, guys,
but I see zero romantic you know,

339
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.640
I don't see that kind of chemistry
between her and Callahan in the Movie's the

340
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.279
movie. We got just just the
joking around about going to get a beer,

341
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.240
but other than that, I don't
see anything romantic wise. Yeah,

342
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.640
they have they have one playful,
banter type moment, but other than that,

343
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.559
I'd never picked up on a budding
relationship between the two of them.

344
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.720
So yeah, well, so the
story that I read was that she was

345
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.039
like, well, you need to
cut this out. This is this doesn't

346
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:12.480
make any sense, okay, and
Clint's like, you know what, You're

347
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.319
right, and so they cut it. Oh okay, Well there you go.

348
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.519
I know, and I also know
she really wasn't that happy with her

349
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:25.000
character, like how she was getting
treated in the movie, and they actually

350
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.720
let her take a look at the
drafts and she got to kind of help

351
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:33.319
develop the role so I, you
know, this is this. I think

352
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.519
this is pretty impressive for Time Daily, especially in this era of Hollywood.

353
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.000
And you know, cause you even
see it like in the movie, like

354
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.279
there's a lot of misogyny, there's
a lot of you know, your place

355
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:47.920
is in the kitchen type of vibe
happening, and you know that's how it

356
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.240
was going on, That's how that's
how life was. You know, you

357
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.960
could say it's that you know,
women are still like professional women are still

358
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:59.200
dealing with that kind of crap.
So yeah, and the fact that she's

359
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.000
running all over San Francisco wearing a
skirt and like, you know, I

360
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.759
shouldn't you have a skirt? You
know, she's got that that knee length

361
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.880
dress and the high heels and you
know, Jason, you said it.

362
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.079
You know, Eastwood's like running two
miles an hour. She is booking it,

363
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.400
you know. So yeah, I
find it interesting. So the mayor

364
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.960
does this big thing about how she's
like the first female detective. You know,

365
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.640
yeah, it kind of props her
up, but she's she's she's still

366
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.000
kind of a rookie and she's doing
dumb things. I don't want to step

367
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:33.359
up my underrated moment, but I'll
talk about that here in a second.

368
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.000
But you know, she's carrying around
that briefcase. It's got a bomb in

369
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:38.559
it the whole time, and she's
too dumb to look inside to see what

370
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.640
it is. And then you know, once she figures it out, she's

371
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:48.119
in the bathroom, Puchan And so
they do some things that kind of undermine

372
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.079
her confidence as a detective. Well
they do, and but at the same

373
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.319
time, I think they do that
just to show that she doesn't know anything

374
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.200
yet. She's she's completely green.
And I can talk about this moment because

375
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.079
and hopefully it's not it's not the
underrated moment that you guys are choosing.

376
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:11.240
But when he gets busted back to
personnel where David Burns works, you know,

377
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.359
they're interviewing people to be a you
know, we need a new inspector

378
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.000
and she comes in and he just
lights her up, right, and they're

379
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.000
like, Callahan, you're out of
line, and but she kind of gives

380
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.279
it back to him. You know, she stands her ground and you know,

381
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.880
she cites the code like you know, and that and that moment he

382
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.359
gets impressed. Yeah, and he's
like, okay, well maybe, but

383
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.240
then obviously, you know, Hey, your new partner. Meet you're new

384
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.799
a partner because his captain is just
a thorn in his side the whole movie

385
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.559
and wants to undermine him. But
I don't know, I love. If

386
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.880
there's one thing I really love about
this movie, it's the growth that the

387
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:52.279
character of Kate Moore Tyan Daly's character. I love the growth that she has.

388
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.680
You know, I totally agree.
She goes from like irritant. You

389
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:03.000
know, Clint's got to carry her
basically too. She's reliable, He respects

390
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.440
her, he trusts her. You
know, she's she rescues the mayor.

391
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.440
I mean she's the one that goes
and rescues the mayor. Yeah, and

392
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.759
so she adds you know, she
really does add to this story and does

393
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.839
some things that Clint doesn't do.
And of course when she gets it in

394
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:21.279
the end, he's really upset by. You know, Harry Callahan is known

395
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:26.839
for catchphrases, big guns, and
the fact that if you're his, if

396
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.559
you're assigned to be his partner,
you're gonna end up in the hospital or

397
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.559
the morgue, right right. And
you're thinking, this is the third movie.

398
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.279
You know what, he's got a
female partner. She's she's holding her

399
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.680
own it's time for a change.
But yeah, she makes that ultimate sacrifice

400
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.960
at the end, and he is
he's, uh, you know, he's

401
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.880
hurting for it. Yeah. I
like the fact. I like the fact

402
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.400
that when this did come out,
it was getting a lot of raves,

403
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.680
not for Clint, but for Time
Daily. Everyone's talking about how she is

404
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.759
like the future of a female action
and you know, how brave oft to

405
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.519
step aside and let, you know, let her have that. I was

406
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.519
like, it's scarily reminiscent of another
iconic hero that we all know and love.

407
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.680
But we won't get into that.
We're not going there. Started I

408
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.480
think you know what we're I'm talking
about. Can we talk about one more

409
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.000
Can we talk about one more person? Just because we we kind of hinted

410
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.160
at him. We got to talk
about Albert Popwell, who plays Mustafa.

411
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.240
Yes, okay, so I taught
you know, I kind of mentioned it.

412
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.599
Clint. Whether he's just he's loving
the cast he's with, or he's

413
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:45.000
maybe a little lazy, he always
brings people back, right right. Five

414
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.680
Dirty Harry movies. Clint Eastwood obviously
is in five of them. Runner up

415
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:56.640
Albert Popwell is in four out of
five playing four different people. What is

416
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.920
going on with that? Yeah?
I mean one of them he killed,

417
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.079
you know. Yeah, so he's
the bank robber in Dirty Harry, and

418
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.920
I always remember that because that's the
whole you know, did he fire five

419
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.839
shots? Yeah? Do you feel
lucky? And then he's that close that

420
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.000
tight shot of Popula where he's like, I gotta know, I gotta know,

421
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.519
and you know, and he just
he points and you know, pulls

422
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.319
the trigger and he would you know
what a great great scene. Yeah,

423
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.200
he's uh. And then he's a
pimp and magnum Force in the sequel,

424
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:36.559
which I'm pretty sure if I remember, Clinton killed him. And then a

425
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.880
sudden impact, uh, where Dave's
watching Sondra Locke, he was a horse

426
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.599
yeah, like king or horse king
or something like that. Horse king.

427
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.839
Yeah, clearly, Yeah, it's
cool. Clearly Mustafa his is his best

428
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.920
performance. Right, I love I
love Mustafa you know in this movie.

429
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.319
Yeah, I think that's really neat
that Clint brings his friends. We talked

430
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.039
about this. When he gets around
guys that he likes, he surrounds himself

431
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.559
with his friends and you know,
lovers, as we see in Sondra Luck.

432
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.799
So let's take a quick break,
and when we return, we will

433
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:25.079
talk about underrated moments and words that
matter. We are back talking underrated moments

434
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:29.599
and words that matter. I got
David Burns with me. I've got Jason

435
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.960
Colvin from the Shirley You Can't Be
Serious Podcast with us. Jason, Before

436
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.279
we talk about underrated moments, can
we take a quick minute, you know,

437
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.000
for the listeners that maybe maybe they're
tuned in for the first time,

438
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.720
can you tell us a little bit
about the Shirley you Can't Be Serious Podcast?

439
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.880
Absolutely, we are a podcast for
the MTV generation. So we are

440
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.680
not just eighties, we're seventies.
We're eighties, we're nineties. And what

441
00:31:53.720 --> 00:32:00.559
we typically do is we'll match movie
up against movies. So we've done Dirty

442
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.720
Dancing compared to Saturday Night Fever,
and then we talk about those movies and

443
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.119
then we decide which is the better
one. And we do certain albums up

444
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.759
against albums, and so we did
Alison Chains versus Stone Temple Pilots, we

445
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.559
did Michael Jackson's Thriller versus Bad,
and so we just compare and contrast and

446
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.039
we go deep on. You know, we like to dig out those nuggets

447
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.519
that you may not know, and
so we try to be informative and fun

448
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.400
and just go deep on pop culture. I'll tell you what, because obviously

449
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.559

much. Well, you are welcome, and you are also welcome to share

458
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.960
an underrated moment now, Jason,
you've been with us on several of our

459
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.480
limited series. I know this is
your first time on nineteen seventy six.

460
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:19.559
So let me break it down for
you. We're not talking about your favorite

461
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.759
scene. We're not talking about what
you saw on the trailer or like the

462
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.599
climactic moment. We're talking about a
scene that's a little underrated, but without

463
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.480
it the film is a lot less. You got something like that, Yes,

464
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.960
I do. But before I give
that to you, Jeff, I

465
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.640
want to give you a scene in
which dirty Harry should have pulled out his

466
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:43.680
forty four magnum and blew a guy
away, but did not. Okay,

467
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.440
okay, So before I give you
this, So when he goes to the

468
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:53.559
autopsy of his partner and friend,
Yes, and the dude takes his skull

469
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:57.519
off and is starting to make jokes
about, hey, look here it Sosi

470
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.200
to Luigi's on there. Yeah.
I was like, what is the deal?

471
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:06.400
Clinton needs to blow this guy away? I couldn't believe that they would

472
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.360
be so crass in the in the
autopsy room. Yeah, And I know

473
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.119
that scene was meant to like,
hey, let's push Tyan Daily, you

474
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.199
know, let's let's really let's really
get under her skin here, because you

475
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.480
know, because Clint's doing the whole
Hey, you know, if you've ever

476
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.280
done one of these, maybe you
want to wait outside. She's like,

477
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.480
don't concern yourself with me, inspector, because she's going to prove herself.

478
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.159
And I almost feel like it's like, all right, let's let's really,

479
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.800
you know, let's really mess with
her because like you don't have to,

480
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:38.079
you don't have to, you know, inspect the guy's brain, you know

481
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:43.039
when you know, and I don't
even know why they're doing an autopsy,

482
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:45.440
honestly, like we know what happened
to the guy. It's his buddy.

483
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.880
I mean he was just holding his
wife's hand, you know. Yeah,

484
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.079
so just but to that yeah,
to that point though, I mean he

485
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.760
walked, you know, you know, George did Georgia is like, hey,

486
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:01.400
get my wife. Clint's outside talking
to talking to his captain. You

487
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:06.280
hear the flat line she's and he's
like, all right, let's get to

488
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.159
work. He's he's ice cold.
So so again, uh, credit the

489
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:15.079
time daily because when she gets killed
in the line of action at the end

490
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.159
of this movie, it clearly affects
Clint, you know, and it's got

491
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.679
one of the better fadeaway endings to
a Dirty Harry film. I think,

492
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:25.480
yeah, you know, all right, so here's my underrated moment. Okay,

493
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:31.000
I thought it was the one true
humorous moment in the movie. There's

494
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:37.000
several. So they go to the
uh you know, like this police area

495
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.159
where they're going to demonstrate with a
los rocket with a do oh yeah,

496
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.159
and so the the police guy's showing
him, Okay, you pull this lever

497
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:50.079
and you pull this thing down and
you use your scope here and Kate Moore

498
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:55.239
Tyne Daley's character like is looking behind
him, and right before he shoots this

499
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:59.480
rocket, Clinton grabs her by like
the scrap of her neck and pulls her

500
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.280
out of the way, and it's
this rocket blast that would have, you

501
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.000
know, take hit her right in
the face. Yeah, And I thought

502
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.599
that was a funny moment. It
showed that he cared about her and that

503
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.639
she was still you know, kind
of green. Yeah, a good choice

504
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:19.000
because Kate Moore doesn't have a face
if he doesn't yank her out of harm

505
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.880
a way, and you know she
doesn't you know, she doesn't know what

506
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.519
she's doing and she's trying to get
that bird's eye view. You're absolutely right,

507
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.800
that was I did. I did
chuckle when when I see that scene.

508
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:30.639
How about it, Dave? So
For me, it is when they

509
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.440
are with the mayor and they're walking
to you know, to the press,

510
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:38.480
to the media, and he's wanting
to give them accommodations, uh, to

511
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:43.880
Harry in office for more, you
know, for capturing mist Off and you

512
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.519
know, bringing down the terraffs,
but which didn't happen, and Harry confronts

513
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:50.719
the mayor right there, you know, basically, you know, standing up

514
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.639
saying, you know, we didn't
do that. You know, I was

515
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.000
working with Mastafa to bring down the
terrorist. You know, we're not gonna

516
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.840
take credit for this, basically,
you know, and he ends up getting

517
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.079
suspended right then and there. And
he even adds time to his suspension for

518
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.159
crying out loud, you know,
which which I thought was absolutely hysterical,

519
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.960
but not just that, it just
added so much character to Harry because you

520
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.519
know, it just proves he may
cross the line from time to time.

521
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.280
He he's he's a bad ass,
but you know what, he still cares

522
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.039
about making sure if he does the
job, he should get credit. If

523
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.559
he doesn't do the job, he
shouldn't be getting the credit. I know,

524
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:27.880
we're I know, we're just about
to get the words that matter.

525
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.719
And I hope I'm not blowing up
either either of your spots. But that

526
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:35.880
you know you talked about he you
know, he he actually provokes the captain

527
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:37.599
to give him more time, you
know, a bigger suspension, and then

528
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:42.400
we get that classic you know,
give me your badge and Clint's like,

529
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:47.760
but you know, here's a seven
pointed suppository sticking up your ass. You

530
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:54.000
know. I love that moment.
I do like the fact that for each

531
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:59.519
of us we're talking about an underrated
moment that involves Kate Moore. I'm gonna

532
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.440
go with one that I feel like
shows a lot of growth on Harry's part.

533
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:05.960
And uh, you know they have
that we talked about that playful banter

534
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:08.679
and you know, he's kind of
like, you know she you know,

535
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.960
she's talking about like, why do
you carry a forty four magnum everyone else

536
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.360
carries thirty eighth and three fifty sevens
And he's talking about how, you know,

537
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.239
he needs a lot more power.
She goes, oh, so it's

538
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:23.119
about penetration. And he's like,
is everything sexual and she's like, you

539
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:27.119
know, not always, and he's
like, let's get a beer and then

540
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:32.119
they end up getting orange juice and
they're just having like a nice, nice

541
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:37.719
conversation and like, in that moment, I feel like Harry has found his

542
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.119
equal because we've seen two movies where
he just is like, yeah, you're

543
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:43.760
not gonna make it to the end
of the week, and my partners always

544
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.000
get killed and but he cares about
her, you know, she he's looking

545
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:51.800
out for. But by this moment
when they're they're having that conversation drinking orange

546
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:53.679
juice, of all things, he's
talking to an equal and I thought that

547
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:57.400
was kind of cool. I like
that one. Yeah, that's a good

548
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.599
one. We'll speaking the good one. Let's let's talk words, Jason Covin.

549
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:05.840
Let's talk about a memorable line from
this movie. And there's several,

550
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.360
but do you have a favorite favorite
quote or a favorite line. I'm gonna

551
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:13.960
stay away from the big one.
I think that one's coming. But I

552
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:19.039
like the part at the beginning when
for some reason there are a bunch of

553
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.760
robbers that are holding up a liquor
store and they decided to take hot ossages,

554
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.719
right, yeah, and so,
and Clint actually goes into me with

555
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:29.840
him. They actually the actor kicks
him in the butt on his way out

556
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:34.079
the door. Yes, and that
was improvd right, Yeah, Clay didn't

557
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:36.360
know he was going to do that. I'm wondering if that guy ever worked

558
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:42.679
again. I didn't see him any
which way you can exactly. But he

559
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.119
goes back and the guy says,
what are you gonna do? Harry?

560
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.239
And he's like give him the car. And so that was my favorite line

561
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.519
because he's getting ready to drive the
car right through the liquor store and then

562
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:58.920
just pull out the cannon start blowing
people away. I missed the days to

563
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:04.400
shoot first task question later? Yeah, absolutely, all right, Uh Dave,

564
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.639
what do you got? So mine
is when Moore was in the bathroom

565
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:13.360
puking because she realized the uh she
was carrying around dynamite. And it's when

566
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:15.400
you know, the the chief is
basically telling him, hey, give you

567
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:17.320
know, give her a break,
you know that kind of thing. He

568
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.400
goes, Look, look she wants
to play lumberjacks. She's gonna have to

569
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:25.119
learn to handle her in log He
load that line. That's a great one.

570
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:30.639
Uh you know you guys have you
guys just dropped a couple of awesome

571
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.360
ones. One that always makes me
laugh because I'm like, man talking about

572
00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:40.840
sticking it to this guy again.
Harry has no reservations about uh mouthing off

573
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.440
to his captain. And when he's
like, yeah, I make a statement,

574
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.079
McKay, go ahead, your mouthwash. Ain't making it. Your mouthwash,

575
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.920
hain't making it. I love that
one. Man. That's good.

576
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.039
We'll tell you what guys, let's
take one more quick break and we'll we

577
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:06.679
get back. We're gonna talk about
prequel, sequel, remake. David Burns,

578
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.320
you have answered this question almost as
many times as I've asked it.

579
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.840
I think he sounds about right.
You know. You know, we cover

580
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:19.280
this one. This was a fun
holdout from our our nineteen eighty six series.

581
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.960
Yep, let's talk prequel, seql, remake. So if you're heading

582
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:31.079
into Warner Brothers studios, Dave to
pitch something for Dirty Harry talking about the

583
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.280
Enforcer, what do you got for
him? You got to you got a

584
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:38.400
prequel, a sequel, or a
remake. I have a sequel, okay,

585
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:44.079
and this's gonna be a little bit
different sequel because it's going to wrap

586
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:46.800
up. It's gonna bring back the
entire series for a whole new generation of

587
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:52.199
Dirty Harry. So my idea is
Harry has the son that he never knew

588
00:41:52.239 --> 00:42:00.840
about, and he is is he
becomes a detective and learns about his you

589
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:06.280
know, and he basically was giving
us a chance to rediscover who Harry Callahan

590
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:12.079
is. He finds old cases that
his father had touched and about the legend

591
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:16.599
that Harry was when he was on
the force and all the time he's getting

592
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:23.480
tingled up in this new detective story. We discovered that Harry recently passed away.

593
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:29.960
So we go with this his son
to his father's house where he discovers

594
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:35.280
the magnum forty four and a few
other things you know, the house,

595
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:39.599
basically learning who his father was.
He also learns about his father being very

596
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:44.519
famous for crossing the line quite a
bit, so he makes it a point

597
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.079
of being a detective that he's not
going to cross that line like his father

598
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:52.039
did, so he writes it very
close. But somewhere in the film,

599
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.440
either his partner or someone he deeply
cares about loses their life, so he

600
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.280
has to cross that line in the
film, which really, you know,

601
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.440
makes him realize why his father did
what he did when he was on the

602
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:12.159
force. So and at the very
end, after you know, the story

603
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:15.760
gets wrapped up and everything at the
very end, or as a stinger,

604
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:20.360
we see his his son chasing a
criminal through some alley ways, exchanging some

605
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:27.559
gunfire into cornering him. He's wielding
his father's forty four magnum and of course

606
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.400
we're gonna hear it is here.
We hear his fine son say the famous

607
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.840
line, I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only

608
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.639
five? You got to ask yourself
one question. Do you feel lucky?

609
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:45.119
Well? Do you punk? The
son will be played by Scottiswood and it

610
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:53.880
will be titled simply Dirty Harry.
All right, well, Jason, I

611
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:59.920
don't usually get to have this this
moment, so you and I let's let's

612
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.000
let's be suits for a second,
because I got I'm loving what I'm hearing,

613
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:07.960
and I only have one note for
him, but I want to hear

614
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:13.119
what your thoughts are before before I
dish. Well. I think that's a

615
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.719
great idea. In fact, Scott
Eastwood would be a perfect Dirty Harry.

616
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.119
He's tall, he looks like a
cowboy, he looks like his dad,

617
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:23.199
really looks just like his dad at
age thirty thirty five yep, and he's

618
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:30.239
the right age area. I love
it. The only thing I would say

619
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:32.360
to David, I'd be like,
man, that sounds great, But we

620
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:39.320
could remake it using Scott Eastwood and
call it Dirty Harry. Okay, See,

621
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:45.039
Jason, maybe maybe I've just got
Fraser Crane on the brain a lot

622
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.440
more lately, since we're doing the
Crane scrutiny. But Dave, I love

623
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:54.800
what you're doing. But I was
thinking, what if it was a famous

624
00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:01.239
cold case that Callahan never cracked?
Yep, could be and we got Scott

625
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.760
Eastwood. Let's let's call dad and
have dad maybe Jason kind of doing like

626
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.400
a Martin Crane thing, like going
over the case files, and maybe he's

627
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:14.400
kind of helping his son, you
know. So, Dave, my only

628
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:19.639
note would be like, let's let's
let's not kill Harry Callahan Senor maybe he's

629
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:22.320
there in a limited capacity helping with
his cold case. That would like perfect

630
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:28.480
too. I love it. I
absolutely love it. Jason. That is

631
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:30.719
a that's a tough act, tough
act to follow. What do you what

632
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.519
do you know? Well, so
I'm doubling down. I'm remaking the original

633
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.719
Dirty Harry, Okay, And I
think it's the perfect time because we know

634
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:45.400
about the woke politics and the craziness
of California and how crime is running rampant

635
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.639
right now. And so here's the
deal. We need somebody with a forty

636
00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:55.280
four magnum to go in clean house
a little bit, and I'm recasting.

637
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:00.840
I've got some names for you,
but I settled on go with me.

638
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:12.920
On this Tyler Perry as Dirty Harry
taken back the Streets of San Francisco.

639
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:20.800
That's that is a very surprising choice. Yeah, and listen, I'll be

640
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:24.199
the first to say I am not
a fan of that all the media stuff.

641
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:30.320
I've seen him do dramatic roles and
he is an incredible actor. So

642
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:35.119
I'm intrigued. And you said you
got some other names, like who else?

643
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:37.639
Who else you cast in this Jrdy
Harry remake? Well, so I

644
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.239
was I was looking at like,
who could play a tough, angry,

645
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.519
you know, take control kind of
guy, and just a lot of pretty

646
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.800
boy actors right now, so there's
not a lot of guys to choose from.

647
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.880
But I looked at Gerard Butler,
I looked at Jim Caviezel, I

648
00:46:55.920 --> 00:47:00.559
looked like Ildris Elba. But I
settled Tyler Perry just because I think he's

649
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:07.840
got that right mixture of humanity and
you know, focused anger. Now are

650
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.760
you keeping like the you know you're
doing a remix, so are we gonna

651
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.599
get you know, obviously, Dirty
Harry, you know, was was heavily

652
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.800
based off of the Zodiac killings,
So who did you think of? Like

653
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:25.360
who he's going up against Gosh,
I mean, I'll double I'll go with

654
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:30.199
you on this. How about let's
continue that Fraser Crane talk. How about

655
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:36.159
Kelsey Grammer as the Zodiac Killer.
That is a crazy film that you're you're

656
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.880
throwing us and it's a crazy film
and you're yeah, and we're talking modern

657
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:45.400
day like you're you're winning a modern
day Dirty Harry in San Francisco. Yep,

658
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.159
he is. He's angry, he's
got the sniper rival, he's picking

659
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:55.800
off people for random reasons, holding
the the whole city hostage. So he

660
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:02.400
so he's uh, who was it
David Sideshow side Shoe Bob in the substances?

661
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.480
Hey, Grammar plays a great villain. I okay, I'm with you.

662
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:12.679
I'm with you. Two tough acts
to follow, so I'm going to

663
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.440
keep it simple. Guys, if
you have listened to us cover Heartbreak Ridge

664
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:22.280
on nineteen eighty six, if you
listened to the Outlaw Josie Wales episode I

665
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:27.519
did with Dee Graves on this series
nineteen seventy six, you probably know where

666
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:34.760
I'm heading. I want to do
a prequel franchise, and here's the caveat.

667
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:40.639
It takes place after Dirty Harry,
but before the Deadpool, so kind

668
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:46.960
of like a you know, mix
it in there in Harry's Prime. And

669
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:52.800
of course Scott Eastwood is playing the
iconic role of Harry Callahan because he looks

670
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:58.039
just like his father, he sounds
like his father, and uh, I

671
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.480
don't have a you know, I
don't have a clever tie for you,

672
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:05.440
but I'm ready to green light like
three movies like give me a trilogy,

673
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.920
a prequel trilogy set you know,
in those in those in that block of

674
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:14.440
time, just more like the further
Further Adventures of Dirty Harry, you know,

675
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:19.519
for lack of a better better title. Take my money, Yeah,

676
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.679
take my money. I've got one
little thing. I've got one other thing

677
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:27.119
I'm gonna throw at you. See
what you think about this? Okay?

678
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:34.760
I think there is a spiritual cousin
to the Enforcer, and it's a movie

679
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:38.480
that we've all seen, we probably
all enjoy. Okay. So the plot

680
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:46.039
of the Enforcer is that this group
of crazy, this band of crazies take

681
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:55.000
the mayor holding hostage from Alcatraz.
Yeah, mid nineteen nineties, we get

682
00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:04.519
crazy group of army guys holding the
entire city hostage from Alcatraz. Yeah,

683
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.440
I love your cousin the Rock the
Rock, Okay, I see it,

684
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:14.280
yep, I like that. In
addition to that, can we talk extended

685
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:20.079
family for the Enforcer? Yeah,
okay, I'd probably have to get ahold

686
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.039
of my buddy Andy Tom, who
was with me when we did Assault on

687
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:30.679
Precinct thirteen. But I kind of
feel like the paramilitary group that that Callahan's

688
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:37.960
up against here in San Francisco.
Maybe they're like the upper echelon of the

689
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:42.639
Rolling Thunder Street gang from Assault on
Precinct thirteen. Ah, they're in Los

690
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:45.000
Angeles, like you know, they're
like the low level guys, and these

691
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.519
guys are like the more organized guys
like I'm kind of seeing, like the

692
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:54.480
Enforcer and Precinct thirteen. Maybe there's
some loose connections there as well, both

693
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:59.320
out in seventy six. So,
M that's cool. That's fun, right,

694
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:07.719
Yeah, absolutely it is. Let's
wrap this up, Dave. Out

695
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:12.039
of four possible stars, what do
you what do you? Uh? What

696
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:19.400
are you given the Enforcer? I'm
gonna give the Enforcer a three point wow.

697
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:24.719
What you did there? I see
exactly what you did there? Okay,

698
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:30.239
Okay, I can't top that jaw. How about you? Well,

699
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:35.679
it's hard to follow that up.
But I'm gonna give this one a two

700
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:40.400
point five. Wow, two five. I just didn't really think the bad

701
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:45.119
guys were very effective in this.
I like Clint, I like Kate,

702
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:52.280
needed a stronger bad guy. That's
fair. Okay, yeah, I'll give

703
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:55.159
you that. Well, I'm uh, you know again, I can't top

704
00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:00.480
what Dave just did there. I'm
gonna give a solid three, solid three.

705
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:05.039
It's you know. Coincidentally, it's
the third film in the franchise,

706
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:08.719
and outside of Dirty Harriets, it's
definitely my favorite one. Yeah, so

707
00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:13.199
yep, yep. Well, Jason, I do want to thank you.

708
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:19.159
It's always a pleasure chatting with you. Whether it's whether it's about Fraser Crane

I'm always happy to be on it.

Well, you know you will be
back. But let's talk about the Shirley

719
00:52:53.719 --> 00:53:00.280
Keep Serious podcast. Well, what's
what's new? So we just dropped are

720
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:05.760
track by track through the Grease soundtrack. The second biggest album nineteen seventy eight

721
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:07.960
was the Grease soundtrack. We're going
song by song. We've got all kinds

722
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:13.639
of nuggets and information, and it's
those iconic ones that you love, hopelessly

723
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:15.800
devoted to you, Grease. You're
the one that I want all that stuff.

724
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:20.559
It's gonna be a lot of fun. Awesome, awesome, Dave you

725
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:25.639
are, You're no stranger to Grease. What is your favorite song on the

726
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:30.559
Grease soundtrack? Man? I have
to hark back to what I said in

727
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:35.840
the podcast we did for a film
at forty five. I don't remember what

728
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:39.679
I said. Do you have a
favorite now? Not that I can think

729
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:44.480
of? You cut me off guard? Jeff, hold on? How dare

730
00:53:44.519 --> 00:53:47.880
