Show #25: I think a lot of people will stay away, Mayor. They're scared.
What begins as a short discussion about some Indiana Jones-related topics turns into a half-assed AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony for Harrison Ford. From 'Force 10 from Navarone' to 'Sabrina' all the way to 'Cowboys and Aliens' the man that is Ford gets discussed and discussed but good. Some points remarked upon at length in this podcast: Is the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' narratively 'wrong'? Does the universally maligned 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' deserve a second look? Is Han Solo, as Harrison himself described him, a "thin" character? How would it have been if Tom Selleck had been Indiana? Which movie was the beginning of Harrison's modern day slide into disappointing movies? And what current wunderkind Hollywood big-shot wrote the movie that makes Harrison Ford fans cringe? Also, and just for fun, we complete this anology: Tom Cruise is to Running as Harrison Ford is to ... ? Anyway, we love the guy. Listen and enjoy.
