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.

    Heartbreak Ridge (1986) | Military Badasses and Reagan Era Propaganda

    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.
