“A guy wants to name his cock ‘Macho,’ it’s fine by me.”

We’re joined by filmmaker Bill Teck to discuss the latest film from Clint Eastwood, Cry Macho. Mr. Teck previously joined us to discuss Eastwood’s 2019 film Richard Jewell and remains our favorite person with whom to discuss the 91 year-old star-auteur. We place the film within the larger context of Eastwood’s complicated career and its nearing end. The film follows a deeply washed-up rodeo star who travels to Mexico City on behalf of his former boss to find the man’s teenage son. We discuss how the film takes on the gentle rhythms of its aged star’s physical movements, the sweetness and generosity of the film's approach, and how satisfying it is to watch Eastwood slowly pet animals that are clearly calmed by his presence.
