This is the drive-in podcast, take one,
but a big bada, boom. Welcome to episode 241 Of the
drive-in podcast on today's episode, we have our top billing
draft of the greatest Harrison Ford roles, so use the bathroom.
Now, grab that popcorn and enjoy episode 241 up the driving
podcast. How do you Duty welcome to
episode two for one of TDI. This is dr.
O on the horn to start per usual.
I'm joined by my co-host. My best friend and Harrison Ford
Aficionado Ricky flicks. Good to see my friend, good to
hear from you eventually, but I need to lead off this podcast by
saying you did a tremendous job for the most part hosting last
episode. Well, done snaps for the kids
for the most part. Yeah, you know why for the most
part because you said we were on episode 240, we never had
episode 239. So that will be forever.
We'll just call the Lost episode.
Maybe we'll go back in time. We'll go to this.
Exact period will review like asteroid City or some movie.
We didn't get to and we'll call it episode 239.
But it is a black hole in our, I guess listen, auger discography.
That's what we're looking for. But it did have an episode
emergency episode So yes, we did have an emergency episode but
that was just titled emergency pod.
I didn't even put a number on that one.
I can go back and make a revision but you did do a
excellent job especially it was unclear whether I was going to
make the pot or not and the fact that I made it for the last part
of it, I was ecstatic and it was a was a privilege to cut up that
podcast and here's someone else for once, drop a bada-bing
bada-boom and it was special, it was special and that's what
teammates are Or you're a great teammate, you pick?
You pick me up when I'm down. I'll pick you up when you're
down. We're a team here.
If you Flex. Yes, we are the TDI team and
thanks again to jack for helping me out there.
Jumping on the Pod, new MCU correspondent great guests on
the Pod. Another another new guests for
guests of the year. Yeah, I knew not to be in the
money. Yeah.
Candidate for guests of the Year.
We're sure we're surely going to have him back.
Maybe we go midseason, talk about.
Out secret Invasion. We can do finale.
Hopefully the show picks up a little bit.
Did you watch it? I did watch it.
I thought it was. Okay.
You know, it was a little slow to start.
It was a lot of exposition I heard you talking about that on
the Pod. It was a lot of like okay the
Scrolls, this is what they're doing, this is why there's a
different faction and then you have like Ben mendelsohn and you
got his daughter, Amelia Clark now.
Like and then they have to go through that relationship felt
like a lot of bouncing Out during the episode and it didn't
really have a firm footing in my eyes, but I thought the ending
was very good right that what the terrorist attack and it
seems like Kingsley, been a deer is going to do it.
Formidable job as the king scroll is that we call him the
king scroll? No no no.
He's just gråvik, gråvik gråvik. That's what he is.
Sorry. I was listening and I heard King
scroll so many times from Jack's his mouth that I think he's the
king scroll but you guys had some nice and lightning
thoughts. Hopefully, Picks up a little bit
though. You know.
I do, I do like Nick Fury without the eyepatch though, it
shows like he's not the same guy.
We that we known these past however, many projects he's been
in. This is a different version.
Yeah, I'd like that too. I think you're thinking of super
scroll super-skrull. Okay, not Kings and they hinted
at it in episode 2 which episode 2.
I thought it was okay as well. I don't think it was great.
It as is similar to episode one where there's more Exposition
and It showed that Nick Fury had further room to fall.
Which I didn't love, but I guess I'm hoping.
This is now the bottom of Nick Fury and there's nowhere to go.
But up the next four episodes and there's some shocking
twists, they do kind of hint hat, super scroll, which I guess
that I but again it's nothing of note of yet.
This series it's not Prestige television yet.
This feels definitely more. More the cable route.
This is nowhere near and door and that's still like not going
up to my expectations there, but the end of the day, I still will
be watching. So I didn't get to episode two
yet. So I'm glad you didn't divulge
too much information there. Know what I would like to show
like Marvel's taking this series seriously is that if major hero
showed up but the story still focused on Nick Fury, right?
He was the central figure rather than him being on the periphery.
Like usual and that's where it comes.
Like, are they a scroll or not? I think that would really draw
viewership especially because I mean it's the lowest viewed
Marvel debut since Miss Marvel. Right?
That's series came out. Its I think was just above that
debut. So also hopefully viewership
goes up, haven't checked it recently for episode 2.
Will stay locked in. I'm hoping to see more.
I have been watching something else that Ricky Flex.
It's really been holding my attention these last two days.
And we got to talk just a tiny bit about the bear because I
want to do like a full Deep dive on it because I watched the
first five episodes and there's a couple that I really enjoyed
and then a couple that I thought didn't live up to the high bar
set during season one where I felt every episode during season
one was must watch seems like season 2.
We're going a lot. We're going a lot into the
supporting characters, devoting an entire episodes to those.
Characters, sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't Sydney
character with a 0 @a B. Re I didn't love that episode
right where it goes off into her.
Background learning more about her, she seems like almost like
a co-lead. I've finished the entirety of
the 10 episodes but she's been similar to a co-lead and we've
kind of like strip back. The screen screen time, I met
Jeremy Allen White. I don't necessarily love that.
However, the episode centering on Marcus.
I believe those, I was 14. I was You do and you get a great
great. I want to say nearly fantastic
supporting appearance by Will Poulter.
I love that episode, right? And you go to go to Amsterdam,
we're going to Copenhagen I think it was one of the best
episodes I've seen thus far and then episode 6 happens and it's
like it All-Star Game of TV stars, just showing out and
they're not just there for a quick.
Five seconds they're actually having substantial.
Shal screen time and it's the likes of Sarah Paulson.
Bob Odenkirk Jamie Lee, Curtis Jon.
Bernthal just seems like a Mulaney it John Mulaney and just
when I thought like okay the only person I didn't really get
a lot of screen time as John Mulaney and then he has this
great moment where he gives the toast at the Christmas dinner.
I'm going to have that episode played on repeat, it's going to
be in my cycle of Christmas watching and viewings.
I thought that was it. Amazing episode our length
extended, it twice, as long as usual episode.
I thought that's where I left off.
It was amazing. Yes, I won't go any deeper after
that but just my quick comments, I think Wednesday this upcoming
Wednesday obviously dial Destiny.
Coming up this weekend review coming on Mondays pot, I think
Wednesday that's enough time people listeners to watch the
bear. I think to L be like almost
three weeks, right? Or two weeks.
I don't know. I had the map I watched Just as
a precursor precursor, I watched the first date, this a episodes.
The first day I watched, I watched basically six in one
day. Yeah.
I like literally right. When it dropped, watched Eight
Episodes, almost all in a row. So a couple breaks.
But I do love this season. I think this is gonna be crazy,
say better than succession. I love this.
Okay. I think.
Yes, you are right. The first I would say, four
episodes. The first two, Suppose I thought
were good show that. All right get sugar in the mix
here car me sister and go a little deeper here on the bear
back to a restaurant, the bear, and compared to season one where
it's just frantic, it's anxious, it's intense here, it's like
much more slow down getting deeper into these relationships,
into these people, their backgrounds and unfortunately
because of that, we see less car me, we see less Evan Moss, Eva
moss moss cousin and we see less of each individual.
But then sometimes If they get their own episode hint hint for
you doctor, I didn't see a sewed. 7i I made a mistake, I
walked. Okay, warning, that was also
phenomenal and unreal. I had been begging for cousin.
I'm like, where is cousin? We need Richie.
He is such a key part of that first season and that episode, I
got a little emotional, right? When I was watching that and it
and then had an amazing needle drop with the Taylor Swift,
that's where I go. He was flying down the street.
I was like, Him. That's the feeling I was getting
non-stop during the first season.
I need more of that. Yeah.
And like yes I think season one is better than season 2 but
season 2 I think is right there because yet like season one has
a like a way. I talked about that intensity
and this one you can't just do the same thing.
You can't just like, it's just like a movie.
You don't want a sequel, that just does the same thing.
You know, you gotta develop, enhance it and I think this is
what it's doing in for a television series.
Even more important, you spend more time with these characters.
So we got Get to know them. So she if it's this good, this
actually Prestige television show and I think the first three
episodes they that's kind of that the Marcus episode
honeydew, mentions episode 4. I think that's the last time.
It's kind of that slower Pace, but I think episode 5 is when we
really start to. All right?
This is the turning point and then episode 6 is the fishes,
that's the flashback episode. And then after that, the
intensities back, its.. Like no Gat all gasp no brakes
wherever you want to say, what's saying?
It is the rest of the season is unbelievable.
Loved it, loved this season will be watching again.
No doubt. We'll have to add it to season
one to the annual re-watch. So, I'm even thinking that I
could do like two hours on episode 6.
I can do two hours on that. And like what we have heard
about, Mikey like Jon Bernthal, his character, and seeing it for
a full. Full episode extended episode on
screen. It's it's basically honors what
we thought we knew about him, and I thought I was portrayed
perfectly by Jon Bernthal and the mental struggles.
Okay? The substance abuse everything
that went into it in the pain that he was going through.
And then also how he was such, a great sibling, right?
And he wants the best for car me.
All that shine through carried over from season, 1 with that,
my new performance that We had with Jon Bernthal, we were
begging for more, he was such a standout for me in episode 6 and
Jamie Lee Curtis laying everything out there.
I could talk about all of these different performances I even
want to do it on Wednesdays episode just like okay let's
talk about season 2 episode 6 of the bear or we do like a
Christmas special later on during the holiday season and we
do a deep dive on season 2 episode 6.
I don't think that's a bad idea. There's a lot to get to enough
talking about the bear because we are here to talk about One of
the greatest franchise / action stars that has ever lived.
In my mind, he is the greatest franchise actor that there is
ever been. He has new movie coming out,
debuting this week, Indiana Jones and dialed Destiny.
Harrison Ford his last turn as the iconic Indiana Jones.
We're having a draft. We only reserve it for the cream
of the crop. And Ricky Flex before we get
into the draft, I just wanted to ask you, what was your
introduction? Harrison Ford's.
I imagine it's going to be very similar since we grew up in the
same household. Yeah, has to be Han Solo.
Yeah, it's it. Is it growing up in this house?
Big Star Wars, guys. Clearly, you can see in my
background just lie. And I still remember to this
day, the VHS, pulling it off a new hope, putting it in.
First time, washing it with her, dad and Han Solo obviously.
Like I said, I Luke Skywalker was more to my taste, but you
can't deny Han Solo Han Solo's. Just that guy.
He's that like personal like yes, like that's me if I can't
be a Jedi that would be me, you know, Jedis like oh you have to
be kind of the chosen one. You gotta have to be kind of, to
be chosen, you know, special powers Godlike but like Han Solo
could be anybody and like Harrison.
Ford is me that's a kind of like obviously I think Harrison
Ford's 90s run. Is probably the next stop where
I would be more precise. Star Wars.
I'm like, okay, you're thinking him as a doctor or a lawyer,
cop, whatever. All these generic things, but
they turn into an action/adventure movie that's on
TNT or am. See, that's the other all the
time. I would say.
All right. Harrison Ford.
Your Han Solo and you're also the guy that I can count on to
give me a great Thriller mystery action-adventure movie.
Yeah, I have a lot of commonalities with you, in terms
of like, I had an affinity for Luke Skywalker, because I saw
Star Wars at such a young age. Age.
I feel like as I got older, I appreciate Han Solo a lot more
than Luke Skywalker. And maybe it's because of what
you're talking about, where it's like, it's kind of a common man
mentality. He's like, like a Jedi can be
kind of rope tronic, right? It's just one with the force and
Harrison & Harrison, Ford as Han Solo is just as cool as can be,
right? He's Wheeling Princess Leia and
he's great with a blaster, you know, and he is someone that As
I Grew Older, I was like, that's the coolest action star of ever
seen. And it's shocking that because
we grew up, I remember watching Star Wars for the first time and
I remember, we watched a 3 movie marathon of the original trilogy
in our basement. I don't know if it was snowing
that night, but we decided or dad was like, we're doing this,
we are watching. And then we are going to
assemble. I think it was like a death
star, not a Lego Death Star, but it was like an Action Figure Set
from our dad's childhood that we played with.
And Never having the Han Solo action figure.
And that was my second favorite behind the Luke Skywalker.
Because when you're a kid, you just love like the hero, the
lead, like, the guy wielding a lightsaber that draws your
attention, but then you realize that the acting prowess is like,
Harrison. Ford is a better actor than Mark
Hamill that's just easy to say, but it's weird because we didn't
really have a connection as much with Indiana Jones.
I didn't see Indiana jones' kit, right?
I think it might be also because our dad wasn't a huge Indiana,
Jones guy. Therefore, we kind of watch Him
on our own. But when did you start watching,
Indy? It's tough to say, to be honest.
I remember seeing Kingdom Crystal Skull in theaters.
All right, I've ever seen that opening weekend with some
friends and I great time I loved it and I knew how important it
was and how I needed to see it. Okay.
But before I think that might have been the first Indiana
Jones movie I saw from start to finish like I saw that one
before the original trilogy. I think after that, I wasn't, I
still wasn't like, oh my God. Like, I love Indiana Jones.
I still was just like. That was cool.
Good movie. I was a young kid, I was like
2008, right? So I, I was 10.
I was 10. When that came out, it's just
like, how those eyes those good. Like, I had a lot of fun, but it
wasn't like I'm clamoring for more like Star Wars.
I don't clamoring. You know, I'm a huge fan, I got
the poster, you know, I didn't do that with Indiana Jones.
And now, I recently re-watch all the Indiana Jones to prepare for
the diode Destiny. And I never saw Temple Doom
before. I've seen Last Crusade and in
Raiders, of course, but all like, within the last five
years, 56 years probably right after high school, I just never
had that Affinity towards Indiana Jones.
I don't know why. I guess I just always saw
Harrison Ford as Han Solo over. Yeah, I always saw him as Han
Solo. Yeah.
I think the cable run a Star Wars was just so much more
massive than Indiana. Your brand bigger, I'd pee.
Yeah. And I don't know if something
was like Indiana Jones is big but it's like it's only Harrison
Ford, right? That's what you really there
for. You know, Star Wars is so
expansive. There's so many characters that
people are devoted to the fandom.
So wide and Indiana Jones, like I said before, like, like TNT
was Rollin, Rollin star? For such a long time.
All right, not such a long time because they got the right semi
recently, but like, I remember seeing it on cable all the time
and Indiana Jones, it was never on, I would catch bits and
pieces of it. I mainly knew it because of
Hollywood Studios and that whole act that they do where it's like
him like grabbing, right? The Magoffin, and then hit him
with the rolling ball running down the hill, Alfred Molina, I
just, that's what I thought of and I was like, okay, it's good
enough. That's what people always talk
about and people always say, A console 0 is the one that is for
first of all, it's like, I don't know.
It's just like, they're both fun characters, but it's just
Harrison Ford. I connected with him with Han
Solo, right? And I think that's a lot its
opposite for people with that. Have a, are you still older
movies? All right, that grew up in the
80s, we just didn't have that. Okay, let's do this draft.
How we're going to do is break you Flex.
We're going to do it based on role in not movie.
So when we pick a Harrison Ford roll, it is going to be Indiana
Jones, and whoever as Indiana Jones cannot pick another
Indiana Jones movie. You can't get like Raiders of
the Lost Ark and someone gets Temple of Doom.
I don't know if you would ever pick Temple of Doom, but that's
just an example. If you pick Han Solo, you get
all the Han Solo Carry all the Han Solo movies.
What are you cover? Your mouth?
Wait, so sorry, I thought we each can only pick one but we
could both pick Like a Star Wars movie.
Oh, I didn't know. Oh man, that really switches up
my mentality here. So like Han Solo Indiana Jones.
You get one of each. You get one move.
Yeah. So like basically I'm assuming,
I don't know your paste here on, but like I'm just saying, let's
say you like multiple Indiana. Uh, Jones and multiple Star Wars
and you think in this draft, like, oh, you want one of each
of those? I think you can.
I think that important and I think their movies in there that
are too good. Just say oh you get all of indie
or you. I get all Star Wars.
I think we if we you know, just acknowledge like somewhere to
Tom Cruise Mission Impossible. We each got a mission
impossible. Pick, I think here.
We each get a Star Wars pick and we each can get.
Indie pick. Okay.
But I think it's only for those two franchises because, yeah,
you could bring up like a multiple other franchises.
He's been in. But I think it's those two where
you get to pick one movie for each.
Totally agree with that. Okay, I'm I'm so down right
because when I was doing the research here, if we were just
picking that one row like someone gets Han Solo, someone
gets Indiana Jones. First of all, be a great
conversation to see who would take what first overall and
later on it kind of thins out because a lot of the roles he
has that, I love our friendship. Sighs movies.
And a lot of the ones I got was kind of grasping for straws for
8, 9 and 10, where I'm like, ha I seen this movie but I don't
like this movie and I don't like what Harrison Ford's doing in
this movie, but he has this long list of franchise stuff that I
absolutely adore. Did you find that too?
When you're doing your research? Yeah, I so before I say this, I
should just I should say he's had one of if not the greatest
Hollywood run. We've ever seen in the late 70s
to early 90's, early to mid 90s, like, Unbelievable.
Run the relevancy. The stardom just unbelievable,
and he's obviously very good-looking.
He's got that Charisma. You know that tough guy look
too. But yet clever, you know, and
just a wise guy type like you can't knock it.
You that's why he's been a leading man at all in for 20
years straight at the Peak at its peak.
Right? So long.
But there are like a lot of stuff that I've seen, or haven't
seen that, I don't like the stuff I've seen.
I mean, I won't even like mention on this track because
it's so bad or that I have seen or haven't seen, but I will
never watch. This is a bunch of that stuff
and that's for somebody is not like he has 100 movie credits.
He has less than 40 movie credits.
That's what so I think is Hit or Miss rate.
I don't know. Obviously it's a high hit rate
or else he's Harrison for for god sakes but she's like,
looking back in like watch it all these movies.
I was like huh this isn't as good as I think the hype is the
status is and I think we'll talk about that as we go on and
again, like I'm not knocking it, I'm just saying it's not as good
as I originally thought. Yeah.
And he goes on runs, you know, sometimes he disappears for a
little bit like he has late 70s early 80s.
He is the start of like Blockbuster 80s type of
filmmaking and he is the most bankable star at the time and
it's interesting because later on in the 80s we have the
emergence of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Eager and Sylvester Stallone like like behemoths and
absolutely jacked action stars and Harrison.
Ford is not that, he's more like old-school Hollywood looking
type of dude, and he's someone that doesn't know Jiu-Jitsu,
right? He's gonna like shock you with
what with a right hand and then move on to the next guy, right?
He doesn't have the stamina or the athletic ability but we just
accept him for who he is. Because it's goddamn Harrison
Ford. But like the reason why he was
so good I think is Also, just add ons.
What you're saying is that? Yes, we have Arnold Sly Stallone
in the 80s and like they're obviously bodybuilders or just
massive individuals, right? And I was there before, it's
kind of like us. Like I mentioned Han Solo,
right? But a lot of his work like is
during WWII her like the pre bodybuilding Curry lifting kind
of era you know, is what you can kind of believe it and then
that's the stretch. It's like, yeah, late 70s.
Early 80s are Arnold and Sly Stallone duke it out.
Then here comes late 80s, early 90s.
This is the second run from Harris and then the second run
from Harrison Ford is more like oh he's a doctor or a lawyer or
yes. But he's kicking ass and taking
names but he's not jacked or anything compared to like Arnold
in Terminator 2 in the early 90s he stood in jacked and he still
competing with him for box office.
It's crazy because you can look at Harrison Ford be okay.
Yes, he's Harrison Ford. So, therefore, he's an action
star, but he also could be a After at the same time, he could
be a professor at a University at the same time.
Like he can do that second half that.
Like, you wouldn't believe Arnold could do.
Now even though he was like a like even though he's like a
politician in real life, like, you didn't believe him at like
the lunacy of are going to get to like Air Force.
One Like You Believe The Hair stood for Q president, you know?
And then he could also sock somebody in the face.
There are very few actors that can do that and you could trust
them to do that but it's just the look career.
Asthma everything. He brings in the presence on
screen. That's it makes Harrison for
him. For, I do have one last tip
before we start just to get this out of the way, cause I've been
things my entire life and I things like the one problem I
have with Harrison Ford in his roles is like we mentioned he's
a doctor or a lawyer or professor and all these roles
right. But I just never liked again.
He is a smart individual. I never see him as like, oh my
God, he is a genius on screen like he is and a lot of These
roles, like, I picture, like, Benedict Cumberbatch, he always
plays a genius, you know, but like, in these movies, they try
to sell us, like, he's like a Benedict Cumberbatch on screen
half at least half the time. And I just never can believe
because he looks like us and obviously looks as if he's a
very good-looking individual. But like, he doesn't look like
he's a genius, he looks like oh, he's a smart guy but like
down-to-earth not like they kind of perceive us to be his their
perspective of it I guess. It's like like a lot of times
when they're trying to sell you on the part that he is a
professor, he's very limited screen time.
Inside a classroom. Yeah.
When he's teaching like it's just like, okay when you just do
this, say a couple lines of the girls are gonna go googoo gaga
over you and then we're going to move onto grabbing them a golf
it and explaining where you're going to get it and then
interacting like with your father, Sean Connery, or this
person that person we're gonna get to the action sequence.
Like you're going to do this amazing stunts but we first have
to have that one scene and I think it can do that one scene.
Just not for an extended life. Yeah, another example is In The
Fugitive teasing. Get Richard Kimble.
It's like his buddy, who's like talking to the cops saying like,
oh, he's like, is he smarter than you is like?
He's smart. Like, he basically admits that
he's smarter than me, but that guy, I believe is really smart,
and then when he said that and they pant a Harrison Ford with
the scene after I'm like, is he like, he's the greatest
white-collar action star I've ever had?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
White collar action star. But with that being said, Rick
you Flex, do you have a coin on you?
So we can decide how this draft. Order is going to go dust.
Gone in there. Tails, it is heads.
I'm gonna take the first pick. No, okay, make sure you're
typing these down because I got a couple screens in front of me
right now, okay? The first pick of the Harrison
Ford top billing. I'm going Empire Strikes Back.
Yeah, that was it. We just talked about how we're
Star Wars guys, over Raiders guys.
Seenu is gonna be a Star Wars pick.
And for me, I like, I think I like all Harrison Ford in Star
Wars, a new, A New Hope, Return of the Jedi force, awakens Loki,
good to, in that good ending to that that role.
But Empire just has those Kind of moments.
I think that they are others. That I mentioned, I guess a
force with Force awakens does have but like not to the same
extent, I think. But the other two definitely
not. And you can go back to never
tell me the odds C-3PO, or I know I think the best one, I
know lion-o's to go. I love you.
Just what, uh, that guy. So like that was that was
actually supposed to be, I'll be back, people forget.
Imagine imagine if he said that. Like would Arnold say I'll be
back later on. Probably not.
But people forget, but just hon. So obviously we talked about on
solo, but preference is Empire. Empire Strikes Back for Me?
Number one overall. Yeah, so if we were just going
Canada, Actors. I would pick Han Solo before
Indiana, Jones, and that sounds crazy because he's a supporting
character in Star Wars and he's the lead.
And one of the greatest action franchise is one of the most
important action franchises of all time.
But it had to be Han Solo. And if you're picking a movie,
it's Empire, Strikes Back. See, takes the character that he
helps mold in a New Hope and then accelerates and it becomes
even cockier, right? The chemistry would Princess
Leia increases in that? Second film.
It has the iconic moments that you're About, and even the
Stills, and the images of him getting like, like frozen,
right? It's just, it's all there for
like the most iconic hair I would say, the most iconic,
Harrison, Ford performance, and that's where people I think
we're like, okay, Luke Skywalker is a way right.
Potentially a little bit from Han Solo Han Solo.
Guess the kind of command the screen for a little bit and be
on his own and not just be introducing like the sidekick to
Luke Skywalker. Great pick now, I can save my
next consult. My next Han Solo pick for as the
last pick in the draft. So I'm okay with that.
There you go. Okay, so I'm going to go, I have
to go Indiana Jones, the next pick, and therefore, I have to
go Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is what we're talking about
earlier, where it's like, okay, he's a professor, but then, he's
an action star and he is, let's devilishly good-looking
Professor that can kind of sell you that he is, that smart
individual, right? Doesn't spend too much time
doing so but has The greatest action sequences in movie
history. I would say the most important
action movie of all time. All right, when it comes to
especially today, where it seems like we went from like Harrison
Ford doing his own stunts, right daring stunts, really
breathtaking ones. And then we had the ages age of
Arnold and Sly Stallone just being behemoths on screen, just
beating the living crap out of everybody.
And it doesn't really feel like they were ever going to like be
her or get a scratch, you know. No and then we have the CGI age,
it seems like now people are embracing like the idea of John
Wick. You know the idea of actually
being in doing what the character is portraying on
screen, right? The effort and lengths to do.
So I'm gonna go Indiana Jones. It had to be set, it had to be
if not the first pick the second pick, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Yeah, some people would probably say, even if they're, they lean
Star Wars, they might say, oh well, What movie or franchises
he'd lead in and they might take Raiders.
And if you say that, okay, fine, but I think just the background,
we gave the context, it's Han Solo.
I totally agree. And I think rate all your
points, and I think one thing that makes Raiders.
So iconic, one of the best action adventure movies of all
time is looking back on it now. Like, for me, I washed it late.
So, I've seen a lot of action adventure movies before I saw
Raiders. But then you look at the
timestamp. So when they came out the
release here and this Was 81 this kind of like, set the tone
set, the like the formula, you know, the plot points as you go
through an action-adventure movie, this kind of like
Spielberg and George Lucas like they kind of just, they kind of
set the precedent. This is how you set up an act, a
great action/adventure movie. And I think that has a lot of
weight to it as well. So, not only a great
performance, great movie and also just setting kind of just
the formula for action adventure for what would be the A decade
of the Blockbuster movie. I'm gonna tease a pick and I'm
just going to talk about how Harrison Ford went on the
greatest, three movie, three-year movie, run of all
time. Go ahead on it.
That you could say Empire Strikes Back In. 1980, you can
go 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The 1982 Blade Runner. That is an insane run for Action
/, sci-fi films. No one will outdo it.
No one. Yeah, I don't think you have to
do it because I've just How big those are, especially the era
of, like, movie theaters were at their Peak.
Then, you know, and if you want to go just based off of, like,
great movies, not maybe not as much screen time, then just add
Apocalypse. Now, the year before 79 and
minimal screen time, very minimal but then the year after
Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars.
Yeah. But like the year after blade
runner's, Return of the Jedi and then the year after and then we
just keeps going really. So you're right.
Right. Unbelievable screen, run screen,
movie run, what's your next pick?
I'm gonna go. I'm just going to keep on.
I'm gonna go Rick Deckard as the third overall pick.
This is where like, you're going to a different franchise.
Now, once again, the greatest franchise movie star there has
ever been, we just listed three, insane, it's saved, franchises
and sci-fi and action, but Deckard, it's kind of like more.
It's a little more grumpy than he is like with Han Solo.
Someone who is like, kind of against the world hates the
world that he lives in, but nice to see the relationship with
Sean Young like throughout Blade Runner.
It's obviously one of the most iconic films of all time and
Harrison Ford. I rather like weirdly and
ironically hated making this movie, despite it being one of
his most recognizable characters regularly was butting heads with
a Ridley Scott and he actually A better time filming Blade,
Runner 2049 with Denis Villeneuve, right?
Him returning in the legacy sequel to Blade Runner, which I
find pretty interesting. But him as a cop, once again,
this is like also the white collar action star him going
from Professor that he's going to like Han Solo this Gunslinger
and then we go, what we got in Blade Runner.
So that's my pick. What do you think, Deckard?
So Blade Runner. All right, this is a good way.
I re-watched today, okay, and slow at times, obviously 1982.
The visuals will not be, they'll be outdated, but at the time
there, that was very big for this movie.
That's probably like the big selling point was this movie
like, obviously, Harrison Ford, but also the visuals.
And I think that plays a fat and effect, but for me, this Arison
for where he's drinking whiskey, he's a cop, huh?
The best. He's going to retire but he
needs to come out of retirement. Basically, the catch these
replicants pure action. This is the Harrison Ford.
I know is my favorite where it's like, he's not like a doctor
trying to. So again, my like perception
trying to sell us to be a doctor and then he's on the run,
something like that, this is more.
Yes, he's a cop going for win, that's my favorite type of
Harrison Ford movie, and that's why I love played Runner and our
this performance of him in Blade Runner and I was bouncing
around. Was this my third on my board or
fourth? I couldn't decide so, I did like
a with the other movie. I've got to pick next.
A 3/4 to both the movies cause I couldn't decide which I wanted,
I think I'd probably lean this one for to me, but more because
of the movie. Not because the performance even
though it's a 1982 sci-fi, like space film, I do think it is, it
has aged well, and I really enjoy returning to this movie,
especially the director's cut. And I agree with you.
This is like a character where it's like Harrison Ford.
I just feel like this is how he is based on the Press tours that
he does and the interviews. He does a little grumpy,
sometimes. It doesn't want to be there and
he makes it absolutely no, no. He doesn't want to be there.
He doesn't want to answer questions about bunch of nerdy
stuff because he's not as invested into the world.
Despite him being an actual actor in it, you know, and that
type of tone and that type of attitude.
He brings to the Rick Deckard role.
So I think it falls in line, Perfectly and therefore, I get
him for Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.
Correct. Yeah.
Yeah we're sure we could do that.
Yeah, that's fine. Yeah.
Just carry over the same character that being said.
We're on to your second round. Pick fourth overall, what do you
got? Okay.
I'm going The Fugitive Richard Kimble.
All right, great throw this movie, I Revisited two nights
ago. Wow, I I've seen this so many
times so many cat, thank times on cable, but just, I've always
loved it, but it's like, I've seen this so many times, but
when I finally extra sat down to watch this again, I was just,
wow, I forgot how much I loved it.
And yes, Tommy Lee Jones was fantastic again in it and his
One liners should go up there. If we ever had a top billing of
like best actors performances, like one-liners or something
like that, this would be in it. Tommy Lee, unbelievably Jones,
unbelievable it deserved the Oscar.
Shocking. The Harrison Ford didn't get
nominated a little big, but Tommy Lee Jones only got
nominated, but one but also reason I bring that up to is
because I love them on the screen together, that was great.
And overall, this is just a great thrower.
Awesome through her good twists the endings a little prolonged,
but overall great movie. I love.
Revisiting it, Richard Kimble. Great name.
My second pick. Yeah.
So what are the Best cat and mouse movies of all time.
And I think like Tommy Lee Jones just by his leg, how bunk bastok
he is. And how like loud he is, and how
hard he's going in for this movie.
He kind of like when he's on-screen, right?
He commands it, but a lot of times he's not on screen with
Richard Kimble. So, the Harrison Ford has room
to operate. And this is a interesting
Harrison Ford performance, because that's despite this huge
Ackman action sequence. That happens at the end, it's
more brains than brawn. You know, from a Harrison Ford
character and he has to outdo. Lout smart, be one.
Step ahead. Two steps ahead in order to be
successful. And once again, him as a doctor,
it's just like, okay, we keep up with the white collar action
thriller. This is an amazing movie.
I re-watched this so many times on cable as a kid, you know, and
The Fugitive I had it as my number four, so a good straight
line, we're in the same boat there, but I think it's time to
move on to the third round. Fifth pick Feed Us.
All right, I'm going to do those strategy here.
I'm going to go my number 6 instead of five.
I'm gonna take a risk here thinking that you might not see
my number 5, but I know you've seen my number six, and you
would pick it next at least next.
If not, the I wouldn't come back to me.
That's President James Marshall Air Force One.
This movie isn't the greatest, it's not tight.
But he's a good president. Is he all time?
Best president. I would say Michael Douglas's up
there. The American President Bill
Pullman independence day, but Harrison Ford be right there.
I think you'll be right there and this movie, again,
revisiting this a few days ago. Again, I do love this movie.
It's absurd. Yes, is absurd.
But this is just the all-time like yes, even in politics.
He's a good guy, you just wants peace.
But at the end of the day, get his things need to get down and
dirty. President James Marshall
Harrison, Ford is ready to get after it against go head-to-head
with Gary Oldman and not his most iconic line.
But top three iconic lines, get off my plane.
Like cannot beat that amazing delivery Air Force One, my third
pick I'm going to be plugging get off my plane right here.
Get off my plane. Right.
Meet like up there with the some of the best Hans Solo line some
of this Indiana Jones lines. It's like that.
I think it's lasted that long in the culture.
It's been that present. This is somewhat, this is my
number 6, so we're not directly in line here.
This is one that felt like it was coming off of.
This is the second run from Harrison Ford late 80s through
the 90s where it kind of felt like a lot of movies are being
greenlit. That weren't grounded and like
Harrison Ford. He has the common man feel, but
this is one that felt like, it was little, like little loose.
It felt like there was some lunacy going on the president
kicking like, terrorists ass. I'm just like, yeah, America.
Yeah. But the same time, it's like,
dude, it's Harrison Ford. Like that's a president kicking
ass. Like, I just felt like, it was
very much like, during that Arnold stage, you know, and it
felt like that's what was selling tickets at the time.
And I can't hate the pick, because it's also one of the
most patriotic He's of all time, all right?
And it's definitely one of the best movie precedents that we've
ever had. I agree with your point there.
I just had a one slot ahead. I think, I know where you're
going with your six-pack, but you want to add anything else to
Frank Marshall No, I think I'm more interested in what you're
going to do here next, because if I took this gamble, if I took
this Gambler, doesn't come back to me.
I won't be mad. But, you know, it just be like,
all right, maybe not do that next time.
But yeah, no, no, it's you, it's you, oh, did you double up?
Yeah, I did The Fugitive Air Force One.
Okay. All right, I'm going to jack
ride. You know, this is I know what
you're going to pick. I haven't seen the movie right.
I know, I know. You're leaving.
This is like the franchise that he Harrison Ford as a part of
that doesn't get a ton of love. I think it's for a couple
reasons, one because he wasn't the first Jack Ryan, right Hunt
for Red October Alec Baldwin. He is the it's not really a
sequel to that it's more of like almost like James Bond Anthology
different guy playing the character but the people that
have come after him like Harrison Ford holds so much more
weight. I would say he is recognized as
the Jack Ryan, despite him not being in the best movie, I
agree. Yes.
Like, Alec Baldwin amazing Hunt for Red October, the best Jack
Ryan movie. And then I'm obviously getting
to movies here at Patriot Games and clear and present danger,
then after that Ben Affleck takes over in the early 2000s,
not a great movie does, okay? And then you have Shadow Recruit
with Chris Pine very forgettable, the John Krasinski.
And it's kind of wish. It wasn't a TV show.
I feel like Jack Ryan is a big enough character that deserves
the big screen treatment Harrison Ford, not the first,
but probably the most recognizable, Jack Ryan.
This goes into like different spheres CIA operative.
It doesn't feel like he's doing a ton of acting in these movies.
Honestly, it feels like he's just not going through the
motions, but it's just felt like we seen this before.
He's really not, he's not the wheels, not changed in here.
We're just Just like playing the hits a little bit but it's like
when you need a franchise action star there's no one better.
Then a Harrison Ford's. That's why I'm going to take it
with my third round, her cold like exactly what you just said
there felt to me like this was the start of a new Harrison
Ford. I don't want to tease other pics
here. But right, when the 90s came, he
truly put on a shirt and tie and every single movie throughout
like you for the rest of his time was like going to be in a
shirt and tie and this On the start of it and he was kind of
going through the motions Patriot Games.
I'll say this, don't like the movie Revisited last week.
Don't like it. Whoa, whoa.
I watched a little bit last night.
I slept a little bit and I'm a Big Sean Bean fan.
I felt bad because like there was just that he was forcing it.
Like this are not he the movie was really forced in that and
then his ending was just so lame that and they know that movie
was so bad, I was like oh my God, Patriot Games.
Probably not in my top 15. Harrison forth.
Wow, a clear and present danger, it's good.
Yes, good movie, but not great. I still don't think it's great.
I think it's good, won't to foes great in that people forget and
you're right. Jack Ryan is Harrison Ford.
That is Harrison like that is Harrison.
Ford is Jack Ryan. All right, it's funny though
because he was offered to be Jack Ryan and hunt for the Red
October, right? And yeah obviously I'll fall
when ended. Having to take it once Harris
board rejected it, which is kind of funny, but again, out ball
when I think it was good in that still, Sean Connery.
So Sean Connery, right? I do want to say Patriot Games,
it's a weird CIA operative movie because it's more about his
family than it is about him being a CIA operative, you know.
And in that case, I'm just like, I'm not really looking for that
because it Hunt for Red October. It's like it's give me a
mission. Give me something that's happy
to give me a historical time period.
Yeah, then we go, like, don't say, oh, like it's a terrorist.
I happen to run into a terrorist and now he's tracking down my
family. He's coming from Ireland.
All the way to the United States, just to track down his
family. It's a little far-fetched.
I think it's a little bit, excessive, you could do
something so much more interesting with Jack Ryan
character. I get it.
People love the book and everything, but I don't know if
it was the best that was going to translate to the big screen,
right? That's right.
Clear and present, danger. I like it more.
Yeah. And is it crazy to say?
I think I'd rather watch the Ben Affleck one again now, over
Patriot game sum of all fears. Yeah, I rather watch that the
Patriot game. Basic title sum of all fears
amazing. It was clear and present danger,
like yes also great titles and Jack Ryan.
Again with this simple, like, great names, great name
obviously a book but like great names.
He boys plays a good names. Let's just do it.
Let's just rattle us once we pick so far.
Rick Deckard. It is a mark on solo.
He's Richard Kimble zzzzz, boring, but his Doctor.
But like John oh not saying it won't do it.
We get the point though, right? Just he's the holder of the
greatest titles right or names in action movie.
He plays simple roles like a doctor lawyer cop, and he also
has simple names, Jack Ryan still won't beat snake, Snake
Plissken from escaping New York though.
Okay, next my fourth round pick This is interesting.
I'm not going to pick the movie, you want, because I haven't seen
the whole the entire thing and if I have it was when I was
younger this is where my list gets a little thin and I want to
take actually my Star Wars pick now because it looks better on
the board. I can't have like a minor role
where I thought he really killed it or they can early career
performance from Harrison Ford. I don't think it belongs as a
fourth-round pick. That's why we go with a new hope
with Han Solo. You could say, since this, I'm
going to talk about other Han Solo performances, some people
really like him in episode 7, okay?
Going back to the Nostalgia and older older Han Solo it, just, I
don't know. It just felt like he spent so
much time away from the character is hard to capture
reimagine. What he did with the original
trilogy. In this one he explodes on
screen. You kind of don't anticipate,
right? You think you're going on his
journey? With this old man, these robots
and the chosen one like this Messiah type of figure and then,
boom, you go to the canteen and introduced to this do with a
black vest spinning, a gun, right?
And someone who is constantly in trouble, this is like a like
this is where you knew he was to be a fun role, a fun character
that we're going to want to go on a ride with we didn't have
that fun character yet in Star Wars when you go through, like,
beginning of episode 4 to The Cantina when you ran into this,
dude, who is kicking back wheeled in the gun talking
talking shit to all these different aliens and talking
about money that he owes them, you know, this is going to be
someone, you want to return to and you want to spend more time
with Episode 5 was the greater Han Solo performance but episode
4 introduced us to what would be arguably the greatest sci-fi
character or most loved sci-fi character of all time.
This. You said it fun.
Again, kicks his feet up like a table with grito.
Like I was just this is him dress him and Luke when they go
to the Death Star, a storm troopers.
He's at the, the intercom. Like look, look, it's just and
then, like they're inside. It's just, it's just a great
action-adventure movie. It's not as good as Empire and
the performance is not as good, but it matches the movie.
Well, similar to his performance in Empire, which is overall
better matches Empire better. So, again, if, for me, like, if
I do like a big board, Harrison Ford obviously, I've Empire one,
but if I had to put a New Hope in there, like I would probably
have it at five on my big board because like I love it that much
in episode 5 has much more electric characters, right?
Like Lando Calrissian gets introduced, Darth Vader is like
so much more of a Residents in is shoots at Darth Vader in it
and episode for you looked up and down the roster.
The most electric characters Han Solo by the light years
literally. Light-years right episode 5.
Also you get Yoda introduced. Like there's all these different
people that are being introduced Han Solo's still like is the one
that is as I said before the most electrifying but you needed
him on the roster for a new hope to give a little oomph to that
movie, right? And yeah, that's why it's going
to be my pick. Right.
Your fourth round pick. Okay, I have a problem.
There's three movies I really want.
Okay. Obviously, I only have two picks
left and I still could pick an Indiana Jones movie so it's I
have a lot of options here. Are you gonna leave Indie off
your boyfriend. I am honestly thinking about
leaving Last Crusade, a, I would pick Last Crusade for the
record. You ready, pictures?
I could say it, it'll be last. Crusade.
I'm thinking about leaving it off the board.
Okay. Yes Sean, Connery's isn't in it
for the first hour but you know what, it's Sean Connery and he
kind of he doesn't take over, but he's just such a presence
and that's kind of the last of the Sean Connery.
Like it's still like a presence in Hollywood.
This was kind of that and until there's a mutual respect between
those two in that movie to where it's like to action movie.
Alphas, you know, yes, exacting. The screen is felt special and
and River Phoenix, that opening scene re-watch.
That last weekend was awesome. I totally forgot about that.
I think I always catch Last Crusade, like, after that.
Like, it's arguably the best, like, like sequence in the
movie. Yeah.
So, you know, yeah. You know what?
I don't think. I'm Gonna Take Out Last Crusade
here. I'm not going to pick it.
Wow. And that leaves three.
I already have my Star Wars pick, so I'll start out here.
Let me just say, Crap. Okay.
You know I'll do it. I'll pick the the affair movie
that I think is better than Fatal Attraction and that's
Presumed. Innocent 1990.
I really do like this movie plays a lawyer cheats on his
wife then gets accused of murder.
This will be Brian, Dennehy is really good in this really good
in this 80 staple love here. And there's blood, Bonnie
Bedelia, the wife and die hard to Bruce Willis is Also the wife
here to Harrison Ford, she's great in this, this is just a
great mystery through I won't I'll Loosely say thrower but
great mystery and also the kind of that lawyer courtroom drama
that I always I always talk about and how much I love those.
This is also in that realm I really like Presumed Innocent
Yeah yeah yeah. Is it a box office?
Smash by the way closed the direction what year 1990
animated close to 300 million dollars in the u.s.?
Wow. Like that is so much money for
just like I don't know just like a like I don't know just not
superhero moving on action movie like it's not an adventure
movie. That's really impressive.
Especially coming off the year after Last Crusade.
So I'm picking Presumed Innocent, I love this pic.
I don't know if I don't know. I've ever caught any parts of
this movie, but I was going to talk about when we get into the
later pics here, it's always fascinating.
When Harrison Ford doesn't do an action movie, I feel like I have
to watch it because he is that powerful of an actor and people
always say Harrison Ford. He has never been nominated for
an Oscar never won an Oscar, right?
Well, it kind of makes sense. When you look at his filmography
and all the action movies that he's done, but like when you see
him like Flex Flex, the acting chops and do more.
Than have the one sock in the face or say the one line, you
know, it just feels like he has that potential based on these
type of films that he's done. I like this pick.
It's a streaming anywhere. This is actually one movie.
I didn't re-watch. I'll look it up real quick.
This seems like a movie. We watched with our dad, like
our dad will just flip it on. Just like Harrison Ford non
action movie but still just Harrison Ford.
So it's Watch that important of an actor, it does seem like
that. And it's not streaming anywhere
it's YouTube. But that's kind of
disappointing. But yeah, II really do like that
movie. Good twist.
Mystery thriller. Good, twist, suspenseful.
I do recommend if you do get a chance to watch that if you
haven't seen it, okay. I'm not going to pick Last
Crusade confirmed but I also dice kind of Bashan it.
I do kind of want to also just say it got kind of like
obviously I mentioned this podcast how Temple of Doom
watching that the other week not good movie.
In my opinion this was this was a good like back to True Indiana
Jones movie of a fun action adventure and I think the
father-son story helped with that as well, that
lightheartedness need to be brought back after Temple of
Doom. So I will not be picking that
last Skate 1989, last we said, but I do like it.
I just want that on the record. I like a lot as well.
I'd like, damn, I'm shocked. You're not picking it, but like
I kind of get it. It's like you have these other.
You can go deeper in your bag here and I think it kind of be a
flex. If you we chose to leave it off
the board, you know? And I think it's like to me but
some people like Last Crusade and more than Raiders of the
Lost Ark. I think most people reasons I
think that that is not so like I think there is a clear bar that
is set in Raiders of the Lost Ark that every action movie has
been trying to achieve since then.
Then right? It's like the blueprint like you
were talking about earlier. Last Crusade was like that's a
great way to end a Trilogy though.
You know, that did those kind of have that was perfect.
It was very good. So that leaves me down to my the
two that I want. I know you, I know you haven't
seen one of them, but the one that you probably have seen is
definitely a more recognizable pick and a lot of people have
seen it. But I got to stay true to
myself. I just watched this deal the
week and for the first time and I loved it.
And it's frantic frantic 1988.
I don't understand. Like I like I do understand why
people don't talk about its Roman Polanski movie, and that's
kind of been hushed hushed around recently.
No one ever wants to talk about Roman Polanski for obvious
reasons, but this movie rocks. It is so good.
And just in case you, I forget which episode of was that I
talked about this, but this is Streaming anywhere.
I had to look it up. I won't say this out loud but
you can probably guess what it is.
You just Google Predator streaming, but Harrison Ford
plan. A doctor, of course, goes to
Paris with his wife and he takes a shower and all of a sudden is
wise, answer, the phone call. Then she leaves the room and
she's gone. And he has to look around Paris,
know some French, but not a lot. It's try to find his wife.
Was she abducted? Did she leave what happened?
And he has to go through the like authorities and he meets
people on the way. It's a great like fun mystery
thriller. Such very suspenseful, I think
the third Act is kind of chaotic at times but Polanski does wrap
it up. Well, you can't knock him, he's
a good filmmaker and overall just I think In a couple months,
if we did this draft, I wouldn't put it on.
This will be just outside my top 10 over this differently, I
didn't pick, but overall, I have to give this movie some
acknowledgement and say, I highly recommend this movie so
much fun, and I honestly true truly a good movie.
So frantic my final pick. Yeah, I haven't seen it.
It makes me seem like I don't like Harrison Ford, but I don't
go deeper in the bag like you did.
I did, I was trying to say John streaming this week.
Like for other Harrison, Ford movies that were non franchised
because it seems like Harrison, Ford is always available to
watch somewhere, right? Star Wars.
Indiana Jones, write all these franchises, but when it comes to
like, hey, I want to see like the chops from Harrison Ford.
Those are much much harder to find to good wreck, right?
It's a good shout last. Two picks.
His like, getting your bag, getting your hair's Harrison,
Ford back whenever these are on streaming or go deeper into your
Airbag and you look at some websites.
A tricky, flexes sketchily hopping on.
Yeah, be careful. And his name in this dr.
Richard Walker. So again the name so white good
pick. Let's go to mr.
Relevant. So I was saying about going,
like his introduction on the big screen.
First time, he had a relationship with a George
Lucas, and I was debating on American Graffiti which I think
I watched in school. Actually, great, Coming of Age
movie for more like that coming of age.
But more like high school to adulthood type of film or I was
looking at working girl, is something that I we it was on
our TV. A lot we were going up but the
thing about working girl it's not a great Harrison.
Ford performance is a great melon Griffith performance.
He's not the best part about that movie.
It's great to see him and almost like an 80s, rom-com, special
type of thing going on. And I was like I said, I like to
see him doing different stuff than the action.
I think I'm going to go American Graffiti as Bob falfa him with
the southern accent, the Hat, not in a ton of the film, but
definitely has his presence know when he's there, a couple great
car racing sequences you see. See what would become of
Harrison Ford from American Graffiti?
You could tell like he was like if kind of fit like, oh, when
you're looking at cast Han Solo, you want this Brash cocky dude?
Really born from American Graffiti.
Yeah, so I'm going to do that as I think it's a good mr.
Irrelevant because that was the first time people really saw
Harrison Ford in a memorable way and took a wide range of
audience. So what do you think reflex, you
see in American Graffiti? I think I'm the podcast of
movies were embarrassed. We've never seen.
I did this as an honorable mention never seen American
Graffiti. So it's interesting that you've
never seen it Ricky Flex because of what came after American
Graffiti and that's Happy Days. And like obviously American
Graffiti Ron Howard movie introduced us to Ron Howard and
also Richard Dreyfuss a movie that so heavily influence.
Happy Days in. Happy Days is on in our father's
house all the time. He loves You happiness.
I would say. It's as its top five for him,
favorite shows of all time and he loves all the old-time type
of shows, right? We talked about 60 70s, mainly
60s and 70s. You loves those reruns.
This is it. They even have the one o'clock.
Two o'clock, three o'clock, right in the beginning of the
movie. It's just like it's you could
tell, like, happy days would not have been as much of a smash
without American Graffiti in the Ron Howard performance, cool
movie. It's kind of amazing what those
care, the actors that it introduces.
Like like George Lucas. It's like as a director splashes
into the scene he works with Coppola on this film and this is
like a collaboration don't think of natural George Lucas you're
like oh Star Wars, lucasfilm, Indiana Jones, but hear all
sides of the said before those three actors Harrison Ford
Richard Dreyfuss and Ron Howard and what those three would end
up doing in their career. So it's kind of a magical movie
to watch and to see, like, where they started and where they
went. So, yeah, I think it's okay, mr.
Relevant They lose our 10 picks for the Harrison Ford draft.
Ricky Flex, let's read through the draft.
If you didn't write that my pics, I have my pics.
Did you write down all of them? I did, I did.
So I'm going to have you give a rundown of the selection to go
to the draft board, little summary, and then we'll go
through some honorable mentions if we have any.
All right, so I have my board, my team consoelo Empire, Strikes
Back. The Fugitive Air Force, One
Presumed Innocent frantic Doctorow.
You have Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Rick Deckard. Jack Ryan A New Hope.
American Graffiti. Yes.
Okay, I correct. Yes, check.
All right. I mentioned working girls,
potential. Movie.
You talked about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Tempo
do being left off here. No one goes Return of the Jedi,
no one goes Force awakens. Did you have anything else?
Ricky Flex? Maybe something a little more
modern that we can look at is potentially making the list.
If you are more modern, I do like the force awakens
performance. Yeah, I've mentioned that, but
to be honest, Harrison Ford post, like, 21st century is not
very good. It's tough to watch him in the
Legacy sequels, like doing the action stunts, that made him
such a star and it just seems like he's really lumbering
around out there. It's yeah, it makes me lose some
of the magic right of what Harrison Ford was.
And it's like, man, we really just are On the name but you're
right. 21st century, I was looking at the filmography like
it seems like people when he was cast as Branch.
Rickey. That's why people like, oh,
Oscar like, is that what we're looking?
Yeah. Yeah.
Like this movie, but like he really hams it up and 42 the
whole movies really corny, right?
He really leans into right that just the feel-good of it all.
I think in that film he wears all the Prosthetics the makeup,
he has the cigar the Glasses to look.
It's all there. It's like, man if we really made
this less of a Family Fare type of film.
I think we could have been looking at a better more,
serious performance as Branch Rickey, but that seemed like one
that way had potential. Yeah, I completely agree.
Other movies, I've seen, like, 21st century besides 42, like
I've seen because our house. Our dad is tasting.
Movies Hollywood Homicide, Josh, Hartnett What Cowboys and
Aliens? No, no, no.
Because I will say I don't hate it.
I don't like it. I don't like it at all, but I
don't absolutely hate it. Like, I think everyone else
does. But yeah, that's kind of modern
era like post Air Force. One is really like kind of a
struggle for him. I think shrinking this past year
that Apple TV plus years of Jason Segel and I watched like
he was great in that perfect grumpy old man like it's perfect
for him and this does have to move at all.
Tall is a site is a psych psychiatrist perfect role but
besides that like and Bliss like 1923 also a series like it seems
like how American. Yeah.
I think he's steering away from like the Legacy type of
characters, right? That's really.
The only thing we see in theater from Harrison, Ford anymore.
Like it's kind of hard for him to try and pull off something
new on the big screen, because he is so connected to these
characters. And there's an expectation that
set when he's on-screen, and if he can't deliver, Her TV is the
different is the best fair to go for him.
So I I couldn't understand why he made that decision.
There's except we are getting him in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe. I think that's a little more of
a protected role for him and something that he is very much
capable of and doesn't to carry the movie on his own.
So I'm not shocked that he's doing the MCU thing but it's
just kind of weird because he seems so apathetic to fandom and
he's going to like the most die-hard fans alongside Star
Wars fans that there could be Yeah.
And again Thunderbolt Ross, most likely will be will be
president. Again, he will be a president
again but also we might be the Red Hulk with so I don't know
how that's going to work. He's 80 years old will be 81,
it's going to be interesting. The other one on my list that I
was really debating on picking and I think people that have
seen a lot of Harrison. Ford go deep in the bag would be
like, how is this not on the list?
His only Oscar nominated movie is not on the list.
East. And it's not that.
I don't like it, it's just I don't know witness 1985 now,
trying to watch that before. Like I like, once again, some of
these Harrison Ford roles, they really blend in together, you
know, like the ones that like, aren't the action ones, it feels
like playing the same guy and most of the movies, but go
ahead. Sorry.
I interrupted I rewatch this recently on Hulu or something
like that and it's a good movie. It's the type of Harrison Ford.
Like I was taught about Blade Runner.
It's like That and here where she's just a good cop and he's
not afraid to get his hands dirty in the first part of this
movie. I really like and the Streets of
Philadelphia. I really like it a lot and then
he goes to the Amish community and it's not bad.
It's just I don't know. A little like you're saying with
the feel good with Branch Rickey, his performers wasn't
like that, but I don't know. It's just like the Amish
community was fine. It's just for me.
It wasn't like that me to watch this.
My eyes are glued to the screen. Ricky Amish don't really move
the needle. They don't like obviously the
biggest moment when I was like Viggo Mortensen was in the movie
and I was like, oh my God. And he had a quick line.
I was like, oh my God, he go, what's up?
And then the blonde bad guy in. Die Hard is like the love
interest of Keli. Mcginness Keli mcginness, also,
because he knows he goes pre Top Gun.
The love interest for Harrison Ford here.
Just like I was like, oh, I recognize and Danny Glover donít
like awesome in this but very limited.
Is he part of the Amish community in the movie?
No. I really like what re-watch this
movie? I was like damn and guess what
his name is besides. Jack Ryan probably his best name
on the resume jeonbuk, like imagine the like welcome.
Like John welcome, a book, you know what to do?
But like I wanted that First Act of the movie to be the entire
movie. You know, Peter weird movies and
I love Peter. Weir Truman Show.
But like, I don't know if this movie just doesn't move the
needle for me, come on, yeah, like awesome Direction but this
movie doesn't move the needle for me.
That's why I picked frantic over the iBooks.
I picked Presumed Innocent. I picked those two over the
movies nominated for an Oscar for I tried to watch witness.
I went on Amazon When I'm Prime and it was locked, it was under,
I think Showtime so I couldn't watch it, but I wanted to watch
that one like you said before it because of like the
oscar-nomination, like I can't believe.
Like I cannot talk about this movie, but we do the Harrison
Ford draft, but I'll give a crap.
Like Harrison Ford is not like he's not, I not an Oscar guy,
you know? And it's just people have like,
we are saying before people have that conversation like how is
Harrison, Ford never won an Oscar because you really never
position himself to win an Oscar.
That's why he never Got an Oscar and even if like those action
movies came out in this day and age here's less of a chance like
to be nominated for an Oscar. He just wasn't meant to be, he
cashed in. He's the most bankable action
star alongside the likes of Schwarzenegger and Stallone that
we've ever seen and the best franchise actor of all time what
doesn't win? Oscars franchises.
Yeah, is that like Tom Cruise wear?
Like I'd like a Tom Cruise truth or and I'm like holy crap.
If you just wants to try to win an Oscar he will get Made it
next year. Like here's a fork into losses,
like Way Boulder with the movies, he did, especially,
during that time period of the 90s.
Like it's just he, you could tell like he is not the man that
we see today. It's weird because usually start
off as an action star. Hopefully it gives you more
opportunities. Tom Cruise is in an anomaly.
Yeah, anomaly. But like yeah, exactly.
But another thing I was thinking about just looking at our list I
literally besides Han Solo have him a shirt and tie action
thriller Harrison Ford and you have the exact opposite, you
have like either the IP or the like, oh, a young guy, like,
Raiders Rick Deckard, you have on solo, American Graffiti, and
then you have like blade. Sorry, I'm Jack Ryan, but like I
piece though, so, it's just funny how our lives are
literally the opposite versus me.
I have like dr. Richard Kimble.
President James, Marshall a lawyer, another doctor.
A basic know what the one could do that.
Better that like if you need that white collar Action Hero,
there's no one better than Harris.
Nobody like and cuz he's done, he's not as frickin bulked up on
steroids. So he is a dude that will beat
you up. He's cool.
And then also, you could teach again class of 22 year, olds
about, right? Like the Holy Grail, like I
don't like you can just do it all.
It's just like, literally like he's just versatile in that
sense and an action hero, that it's really hard to replicate
nowadays. Okay, that's our draft Harrison
Ford last turn is Indiana Jones style Destiny coming out this
weekend that will be our review on Monday.
