'The Eiger Sanction' w/ Cody Townsend & Jonathan Ellsworth
Description
Cody and Jonathan discuss The Eiger Sanction, because it celebrates its 50th anniversary this week; it stars Clint Eastwood, who was the biggest movie star in the world at the time; and, perhaps most importantly here, Alex Honnold has called The Eiger Sanction the most realistic climbing film that Hollywood has ever produced. So … is Alex right? And how does the rest of the film hold up?
