“Do you feel lucky, punk?”
Join Ian, Megs & Liam for our 296th episode as we prowl the streets of San Francisco, badge in one hand and .44 Magnum in the other, for a look at Clint Eastwood’s career-defining role in Dirty Harry (1971). A killer on the loose, a cop who won’t play by the rules, and a city hanging in the balance—this episode asks all the right questions, even if Harry never bothers to. It’s cops, criminals, and constitutional crises in our 296th episode as we ask:
<ul>
<li>Yes, Dirty Harry is cool—but do women actually like this film?</li>
<li>What’s with all the nudity, and how much of it serves the story?</li>
<li>Why does Scorpio do anything he does—and why does his logic (or lack thereof) drive us mad?</li>
<li>How has Harry never learned what actually invalidates evidence or a confession? Law 101, Callahan!</li>
<li>Why does the mayor keep calling him like he’s on speed dial for bad PR?</li>
<li>How deaf is the kid doing the fishing? And how long would it take for him to notice what’s going on behind him?</li>
<li>Why is Scorpio so disparate in his understanding of the value of hostages—demanding one thing one moment, then undercutting himself the next?</li>
<li>Why doesn’t the SFPD sit Harry home when he’s framed on regional television?</li>
<li>What exactly does the ending mean—resignation, rebellion, or just Eastwood being Eastwood?</li>
<li>Which line from the film is one of the most misquoted in television history?</li>
<li>We share some thoughts on the Charlie Kirk shooting and the public’s reaction to it - are we losing our humanity?</li>
<li>And finally: when exactly does DNA evidence become a thing—and how would it have changed the whole movie?</li>
</ul>
