Ep. 27: White Hunter, Black Heart (1990)

It's the ugliest godd*mn podcast you've ever seen, back again for another episode. We are pleased as punch to be talking about Clint Eastwood's 1990 adaptation WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART, a thinly-disguised account of the production of John Huston's THE AFRICAN QUEEN. A very good movie about a just-OK movie, we both agree! Join us for a chat about the sort of Larger-Than-Life white men like Huston and Hemingway that we used to be impressed by and now find tiresome, Hollywood depictions of Africa, performative anti-semitism, and King of the Film Timothy Spall. Please join us! Please!!!

Topics include: hate crimes, good and bad John Huston impressions, helicopter piloting, shots fired at Cate Blanchett, Jeff Fahey, George Dzundza, Peter Vertiel, the very ugly dissolution of Eastwood's relationship with Sondra Locke, reusing boats, the late Mann National Theater in Westwood, and more!
