New: "Pod Casty for Me" Podcasts


New: Pod Casty for Me Podcasts
Just this weekend I stumbled across these series of Podcasts which began back in January. The shows are (in their own words) left politics and culture podcast about the films of Clint Eastwood, one movie per episode. The shows are hosted by Jake Serwin & Ian Rhine and are an entertaining listen. Don’t expect an in-depth analysis, jokes are plentiful, but they’ve clearly done some good research and formed an enjoyable overview. For newbies, it’s a nice and relaxed way to learn about the movies and take in a good bit of background information. I’ve listened to three of them today and really enjoyed the banter. 
There is an introduction post, a 16 minute ‘Clintroduction’ as the boys call it, which sets out their goal – which is to cover every film Clint has directed or both starred and directed in from thereon.
 
The Downside of this of course, means that there will be no shows featuring the classics between A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and Clint’s directorial debut, Play Misty for Me (1971) and that’s a shame. 

The Podcasts can often last over 2 hours, but be warned, sometimes the banter and non-relevant chat  can last some 40 minutes - before the guys even begin to chat about the featured movie. So, you may find yourself reaching for the slider bar and cutting to the real juice of the show. 

Well worth giving it a go HERE
