Clint Eastwood's "The Rookie" & John Woo's "Broken Arrow" (with Jake Ures)

Buckle your fucking seatbelts because it's time to go ballistic as Auteur Misfires enters the 90's.

Kicking things off, it's Clint Eastwood's return to the podcast with one of his forgotten cop thrillers, "The Rookie" starring Eastwood, Charlie Sheen and Raul Julia. After that, we're headed into the Wooniverse with John Woo's second American feature, "Broken Arrow" starring John Travolta, Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis.

Cinematographer and resident 9/11 correspondent Jake Ures returns to the podcast to unpack the complicated politics of Eastwood, the balletic action of Woo, Travolta as a virile American superstar, Eastwood getting raped(?) by Sonia Braga, and the failed action career of Howie Long.

"The Rookie" is currently streaming on Max. "Broken Arrow" is available to rent wherever you rent movies. You can find Jake's work on his official website.
