    Killing an elephant is a sin, but Clint's gonna do it anyway! This week, Jesse Nussman, Trace Sauveur, and Jay Ledbetter are joined by critic Josh Martin to talk about one of Eastwood's most underrated pictures.

    The four discuss the movie's relationship to real-life filmmaker John Huston, his movie "The African Queen," colonialism in Africa, filmmaking hubris, and masculine performance.

    On this episode of "Conversations on Clint," hosts Jesse Nussman, Jay Ledbetter, and Trace Sauveur discuss Eastwood's biggest hit of the 1980s, the military drama "Heartbreak Ridge."

    The guys tie the movie into the pro-military pictures of the Reagan era, laugh over Eastwood's profane and pungent dialogue as a gruff Marine instructor, and wrestle with the movie's tiptoeing into real-world conflicts of the time.

    This week, we look at Clint's second movie of 1982, a lighthearted road movie about a dying country music singer and his nephew. We examine why the movie didn't connect with audiences in the early 80s, Clint's earnest love for music, whether he's a good singer, and how we really feel about the country music genre.
