The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, are cut from the cinematic cloth that respects the work of Clint Eastwood. His transition from movie star to filmmaker has been one of the best such leaps in film history. Eastwood has the Oscars to prove it as well. Beyond the hardware winners, Clint has many excellent films to enjoy.

For their 106th episode, two 40-something film critics, two spruced-up dads, and two teachers who don’t wear cowboy hats, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, present the first of two “Deep Cut” episodes focused on the career of Clint Eastwood. The bells and timers are off as the hosts explore the lesser-known and underappreciated entries in Eastwood’s career. The Oscar winners are obvious, so Will and Don share their Top Five deep cuts for Clint Eastwood as a film director. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
