Ep. 0241: Unforgiven: 30 Years Later (w/Joshua Perry)


August 2022 was the 30th anniversary of the release of the award-winning film Unforgiven, directed by & starring Clint Eastwood. To commemorate this film’s anniversary, CJ talked about it with his old pal (and fellow Western enthusiast) Joshua Perry, the former host of the late, lamented Dusty Den podcast.

Join CJ & Josh as they discuss Unforgiven, why it’s such a great film, and how Hollywood mostly “don’t make ’em like they used to.”

Richard Jewell is a 2019 historical drama film directed by Clint Eastwood about events surrounding the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case, focused around the figure of Richard Jewell, the security guard who discovered the bomb and helped evacuate people away from it, but who was soon thereafter implicated by the FBI and elements of the media as a prime suspect.

  • A little info about the production of the film and a brief synopsis of it
  • Some discussion of the reception the film has received, and some of the controversy surrounding it

Ep. 0174: DHP Heroes: John Carpenter, Part 2

This episode is the conclusion of CJ’s coverage of John Carpenter’s filmmaking career.

[*Note: Since recording this episode, I did get a chance to watch Bodybags, which is actually a horror anthology movie rather than a series as I think I said in the episode. Long story short, I liked it a lot & would definitely recommend it for any fans of horror in general and/or Carpenter in particular.]

Join CJ as he discusses:

  • All the films Carpenter directed from Christine (1983) through The Ward (2010)
  • Common themes and techniques in Carpenter’s films
  • Carpenter’s statements about what he believes vs. the ideology that his films portray (which are often quite different)
  • Carpenter’s influence on CJ’s worldview, and why his best works have resonated so strongly.
