How to Apply Adult Judgment Like an Adult

July 13, 2026 by Scott Meyer

I said this on the commentary for my Patreon subscribers, so I'll throw it in here too. If you watch the movie, you'll see the scene I'm referring to, and you'll see that Clint was in better shape than 90% of guys his age. But, by modern standards, for a movie star, he was not looking great. Most of us would be delighted to be in the shape he was in, but would still not choose to appear shirtless in theaters across the country.
