Hop in the Lincoln Mark LT, listeners, we've got a duffel bag full of conversation about THE MULE! Join us for a long-haul chat about Clint's 2018 old-man-drug-trafficker drama about s****y fathers and late capitalism. Spoiler for what we thought of the movie: we both loved it! We talk drug war cinema, the film as a sort of GRAN TORINO REDUX, the film as Alison Eastwood's personal 15:17 TO PARIS, Sondra Locke's death just before its release, and lots more. Hee-haw, folks! (Actually I looked up a video of the sounds mules make and none of them are hee-haw.) Topics include: hybrid animals, demeaning jobs, the film's real-life inspiration Leo Sharpe, Cooper's A STAR IS BORN, Taissa Farmiga's relationship to Vera Farmiga, Jake recounts a nightmare, the "Mexico Filter" and this film's lack of it, Jukt Micronics, Noel G., the VFW, the roots of American Empire in the Philippines, Waffle House, and, of course, the threesomes. https://www.podcastyforme.com/ Follow Pod Casty For Me: https://twitter.com/podcastyforme https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/ https://www.youtube.com/@podcastyforme Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PodCastyForMe Artwork by Jeremy Allison: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyallisonart
