In this action-packed episode of Bury Our Bones With Cinema, your fearless host Ryan Etherington is joined by Simon Keet for a deep dive into two iconic Clint Eastwood classics: Dirty Harry (1971) and Magnum Force (1973). The two films, packed with one-liners, moral ambiguity, and enough bad guy takedowns to make you question your own legal knowledge, get a thorough, no-holds-barred examination—with a side of snark.
Get ready for a conversation that’s as intense as Harry Callahan's glare and more explosive than the Magnum .44 itself. From “Do you feel lucky, punk?” to the shocking twist of Magnum Force, Ryan and Simon dissect the gritty, grizzled anti-hero that is Dirty Harry, unpacking his love for justice (and his absolute lack of patience for rules). Expect laughs, insight, and maybe even a few chuckles at how many criminals can get so much wrong in front of Harry’s cold, calculating eyes.
Is Clint Eastwood the ultimate symbol of '70s masculinity or just a man who really, really needs to talk about his feelings? Spoiler: it’s both. So, buckle up, pour yourself a stiff drink, and tune in—because if you don't, well, let's just say Harry won’t be happy... and you wouldn’t like him when he's unhappy.
Don't miss out—press play and join us for a deep dive into two films that are as influential as they are rewatchable. After all, you have to ask yourself: Do you feel lucky enough to skip this episode? (Spoiler: You don’t.)
