This 1990 film is a great re-watch for a deep dive on the greatness director Alan J. Pakula brings to the storytelling, and that's what Paul & Adam do with their special guest, actor Brendan Meyer. With a top-notch supporting cast that includes Brian Dennehy, Greta Scacchi, Paul Win...
On this episode, The Ford Fiesta dives deep into what some people consider the best of the Indy adventures - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. 1989's action classic features Harrison Ford's "Man in the Hat" returning with his father, played by Sean Connery. Mara Knopic joins the show to talk about Ford's return to a huge summer film after a string of movies working with prestige directors. Was this the greatest summer of blockbus...
The Ford Fiesta returns to finish covering Harrison Ford's very busy 1988 with the second film he released that year - Working Girl. Movie podcast guest all-star William Bibbiani returns to the show to talk about this critical and box office hit comedy which is just the kind of insightful social commentary-meets-laugh out loud moments you'd expect from director Mike Nichols. Paul & Adam throw in some great making-of stories and...
Harrison Ford continues his run with prestigious filmmakers, following up two films with Peter Weir with the 1988 thriller Frantic, directed by Roman Polanski. Paul and Adam are all over it, discussing it to death with good friend and special guest Lon Harris. The plot, the suspense, the acting, the Paris location (required if you're in a Polanski film) - it all gets once-overed along with the usual Ford Fiesta segments. We are Ame...
Perhaps Harrison Ford's most complicated movie yet is The Mosquito Coast, adapted by Paul Schrader from the book by Paul Theroux. Ford re-teams with Witness director Peter Weir so there's much to discuss. Adam & Paul get into some hilariously dated Ford news and offer up a solid-yet-wacky recap of the movie, then bring in Friend-in-Movie-Talk Adam Collins to dive deep on the movie - and he is GAME for this. Tune in! We have eve...
Man oh man is Witness a great re-watch. What a fantastic police story with clashing cultures, real suspense, and a smart, SMART screenplay. Paul and Adam talk the up the film with the usual comedy recap, Ford news and history, then longtime Movie Guy Bart Kias joins the show with more memories, thoughts and jokes about this classic film also known for Harrison Ford's first and only (so far!) Oscar nomination.

Paul & Adam dive deep into what Roger Ebert called "the most cheerfully exciting, bizarre, goofy, romantic adventure movie since Raiders". COULDN'T AGREE MORE. The charm and balls-out "Anything Goes" action of this movie have actually improved over time as the making-of, script, characters and Ford himself get a good once-over in this episode, along with the usual segments an...
Joining Paul and Adam on The Ford Fiesta this week is stand-up comedian and friend from The Movie Trivia Schmoedown Mark Ellis! Mark has a great campaign for why Return of the Jedi is the best of the original Star Wars trilogy - it's the WIN. Mark sits in on the whole show and the Ford news, fun facts and rampant BITS run roughshod all over the show. This is a good one, people...

Like good movie talk? Please ...We're in the '80s! The Harrison Ford 1980s may be unmatched by any other actor in terms of huge movies, and it all begins with arguably the most acclaimed sequel of all time - The Empire Strikes Back (your move, The Godfather, Part II). Ford's return as Han Solo requires all hands on deck to talk about, PLUS a guest - podcaster and friend from The Movie Trivia Schmoedown, Chance Ellison. Great movie, and a great show as we're fired...
Welcome to Season Two! When you take a longer-then-planned break between episodes of any podcast, it's a good idea to come back and just claim you were between seasons. Harrison Ford's epic, two-podcast-season-spanning 1979 comes to a close with an appearance in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. There's so much to say about this film, largely considered one of the best ever made, Paul & Adam recruited their friend and Movie Tr...
Bob Falfa is back! Briefly, but it's a Harrison Ford movie so Paul and Adam are all over it. Forty-three years later and you still have to convince some people there was a sequel to American Graffiti. This episode gives the movie its due and explores just how ambitious the film really was. And it turns out you don't have to twist the arm of this week's guest to talk about More American Graffiti as film critic William Bibbiani joins...
Who would think to pair Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford? Who would think to pair Harrison Ford with this script? These questions and more are answered as Adam and Paul watch (and Adam for the first time) The Frisco Kid, about a rabbi headed to San Francisco from Poland. Along they way, he meets bank robber Tommy Lillard in the last western Ford will appear in for a long while. Movie Guy Steve Lewis helps with writing an in-depth reca...
Paul and Adam take a deep dive into Hanover Street, one of the many war movies Harrison Ford was involved in after Star Wars. Is this the type of film that solidifies Ford's status as a major movie star? ...not really! The pre-Empire/post-Star Wars era is fascinating, as is this look at this little-seen 1979 Peter Hyams ROMANCE (capital letters intended). And, as ever, Harrison Ford news and This Date in Ford History.
