Mostly Film – Take 243: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 4Peak Ford. Jonathan and JP cover the three-year stretch — 1992, 1993, 1994 — where Harrison Ford was the biggest movie star in the world outside of his own franchises. Combined worldwide gross across three films: approximately $572 million. All three opened at number one. One of them held number one for six consecutive weeks.First, Patriot Games. Alec Baldwin was unavailable due to a Broadway commitment, McTiernan left when Baldwin left, Tom Clancy publicly asked for his name removed from the production, and Ford stepped into Jack Ryan anyway. The original ending tested so badly they scrapped it entirely and reshot the climax — during which Ford accidentally hit Sean Bean in the face with a boat hook and gave him a scar that the Sharpe makeup department later leaned into for authenticity. The satellite strike sequence caused brief concern at the Pentagon. Roger Ebert complained about the Indiana Jones ending. The question: does Ford make Jack Ryan his own, or is he always playing Alec Baldwin's character?Then The Fugitive. Twenty-five drafts, nine writers, six editors, and a script that still wasn't finished when they started shooting. Baldwin, Costner, Douglas, and Nolte were all considered before Ford. Nobody involved had seen the original TV series. Tommy Lee Jones improvised "I don't care" during a freezing sewer sequence, told Joe Pantoliano nobody would win any awards for this film, then won the Oscar, the Golden Globe, and every critics' prize going. The train crash was 27 cameras, one take, no miniatures. The St. Patrick's Day parade was shot in the real parade with no rehearsal. Seven Oscar nominations including Best Picture. The only TV adaptation ever nominated for that award. The big question for the episode: is The Fugitive the best film Harrison Ford ever made outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones?Then Clear and Present Danger — three screenwriters, Clancy still not fully happy, and Ford's own stated favourite of the two Jack Ryan films he made. A film whose central thesis is that telling the truth to Congress is more dangerous than participating in a cover-up. It felt provocative in 1994. It has dated extremely well.After 1994, Ford never made another Jack Ryan film. The question that hangs over the episode — and sets up Episode 5: what happens to Harrison Ford's career after the peak?
Our crime fighting trio voluntarily hurls themselves into Joel Schumacher's radioactive fever dream this week by revisiting Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), where every streetlight is apparently a blacklight, every criminal belongs to a themed fashion gang, and Val Kilmer is unanimously crowned the hottest Batman to ever brood beneath a cowl. Sorry, George. The gang breaks down why Kilmer somehow nails both Bruce Wayne and Batman, why Clooney spends most of Batman & Robin sounding like he's reading cue cards held hostage just off camera, and why Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze deserves either an Oscar or a lifetime ban from speaking in public. Somewhere between ice pun #47 and ice pun #72, the conversation evolves into the realization that Batman could have ended the movie 15 different times if he'd simply thrown literally anything at Mr. Freeze instead of politely waiting for him to finish his stand-up routine. Of course, no Schumacher discussion would be completewithout celebrating Jim Carrey's beautifully deranged Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones' aggressively theatrical Two-Face, Gotham's inexplicably fabulous glow-stick street gangs, and the discovery that every supervillain in the city must share the same criminal seamstress. Seriously... who keeps making these immaculatecustom henchman uniforms? Is there a union? Is there a rewards program? Does Riddler get 15% off after ordering matching jackets? We demand answers.Along the way, we ask Gotham's most important questions: Why is Riddler Island covered in giant glowing questionmarks if nobody is supposed to know where the Riddler lives? Why does every gang member look like they just got kicked out of a goth laser tag tournament?And perhaps the greatest mystery in comic book history... who approved all those bat nipples?Come for the Batman discussions, stay for the cinematic nonsense that somehow just keeps getting better.

In the Season 1 finale of the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Alex and Nate revisit The Fugitive (1993), the Academy Award-winning thriller starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. With unforgettable performances, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and one of the greatest cat-and-mouse stories ever put to film, does this action classic still deserve its legendary status?Join Alex and Nate as they break down the film's iconic moments, memorable chase sequences, and why The Fugitive continues to be one of the defining action thrillers of the '90s.
This week on Forgotten Cinema, Forgotten Summer continues with "Blown Away", the 1994 action thriller starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field find pieces of the film to enjoy. The practical explosions deliver, the final confrontation between Bridges and Jones has plenty of energy, and there is the foundation of a tense revenge thriller buried somewhere beneath all the chaos.Unfortunately, "Blown Away" is also a complete mess. The timeline is never properly established, the shared history between its hero and villain desperately needed a clear flashback, and several characters make choices that are difficult to understand. The questionable Irish and Boston accents do not help, nor does a badly miscast Forest Whitaker in a role that never makes much sense to begin with.Tommy Lee Jones certainly commits to the madness, and Jeff Bridges does what he can to hold everything together, but the film never develops its characters or central conflict enough to make the spectacle truly matter.Released in the same summer as "Speed" and shortly before "True Lies", this uneven action thriller was always going to struggle to stand out. With better competition, sharper writing, and more memorable action surrounding it, "Blown Away" was ultimately destined to be...forgotten.What's another forgotten 90's Action Blockbuster? Let us know in the comments below!
Baywatch icon Erika Eleniak joins Steve Kmetko on Still Here, Hollywood for a raw, honest conversation about fame, body image, and reinvention. Before she became one of the most recognizable faces of 90s television as lifeguard Shauni McClain on Baywatch, Erika stole hearts as the babysitter in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In this episode, she opens up about being personally cast by Spielberg at age 12, the real story behind that iconic E.T. kiss scene, and what it was actually like filming Baywatch's famous slow-motion beach runs in freezing January water. Erika also gets candid about her Playboy pictorial and the career obstacles it created, her decision to walk away from Baywatch after just two seasons, working alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey on Under Siege, her ongoing struggle with body image, and how becoming a single mother reshaped everything she thought she knew about resilience, fame, and what she wants next. Whether you grew up watching Baywatch reruns or you're discovering Erika Eleniak's career for the first time, this episode is a candid, unfiltered look behind the red swimsuit and the Hollywood machine.

In this episode, I reflect on Cormac McCarthy's The Sunset Limited, which I recently read in its dramatic form after watching the excellent and very faithful HBO adaptation with Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones. Sitting more deeply with Professor White's despair brought me back to Eugene Thacker's Infinite Resignation and the idea that the only philosophy worth pursuing is one that poses questions without answers. This becomes a meditation on pessimism, faith, despair, and the strange sacredness of staying in the room when no clean answer arrives.
We're back in black… again! But in the place of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, in the place of Barry Sonnenfeld is F. Gary Gray and in the place of those New York-based besuited agents is MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL. Joining us to discuss the 2019 would-be franchise-rebooter is host and co-founder of Girls on Film podcast Anna Smith, and together we navigate the choppy production, the flattening Marvelisation of it all and the flickers of genuine chemistry that do end up making it through.

In this episode, I take a short detour from All the Pretty Horses into Cormac McCarthy's The Sunset Limited, the HBO film adaptation starring Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones. I reflect on Professor White and Mr. Black, despair and faith, nihilism and sacred obligation, and why I find myself living somewhere between them as “Mr. Gray” — drawn to the dark clarity of pessimistic philosophy, but still unable to escape the sacred call to be there for another human being.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay welcome you to the revolution, as they talk about '90s action favorite, 'Under Siege.' Bombay starts it off by recalling the time he saw this movie as a kid and had an awkward exchange with a friend's mom during the infamous cake scene. Then the boys get things cookin' as they discuss how this may be not only Steven Seagal's overall best flick, but his most likeable performance. That comes partially because he takes a backseat to Tommy Lee Jones' delightfully unhinged bad guy role that sees him spouting off anti-establishment phrases while dressed as a '60s rocker. It helps that his right hand man is portrayed by the always deliriously delectable Gary Busey, who kills a commanding officer while in outrageous drag. Seagal's sidekick throughout the whole ordeal is the charmingly adorable Erika Eleniak who treats everyone to some gratuitous nudity in a scene that the guys argue may be Top 5 most replayed scenes of the VCR era. Add in Andrew Davis' assured action direction, that features Seagal delivering some all-time brutal kills for a studio film, and you have an unforgettable action movie, and episode.

“The Fugitive” RevisitedA one-armed man wreaks havoc on the life of Dr. Richard Kimble in the 1993 film, The Fugitive. Based on the 1960s TV series, the movie pulled out all the cinematic stops and became a runaway hit, making nearly $370 million at the box office. The Academy soon followed, garnering the Harrison Ford flick with several Oscar nominations and a win for Tommy Lee Jones. But now, decades later, is this cat-and-mouse thriller a little cheesy? Does Dr. Kimble have the worst lawyer in film history? And why does U.S. Marshal Gerard (Jones) look so darn adorable in an old winter hat? The Old Roommates bust The Fugitive out of DVD jail and give it a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the 2007 Coen Brothers masterpiece No Country for Old Men, adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Woody Harrelson. The guys agree it's a modern American classic, and dig into why a film with such a stripped-down setting and plot manages to carry such enormous philosophical weight. The conversation moves through Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's opening monologue about not wanting to "put his soul at hazard" against an evil he doesn't understand, the nature of psychopathy and whether inherent evil exists, and Anton Chigurh's coin-flipping determinism versus Carla Jean's stark refusal to play his game. They unpack Carson Wells as a coward who depends on the rules of the system, the off-screen death of Llewelyn Moss as a deliberate breaking of storytelling rules, and why Chigurh, not Bell or Moss, is arguably the true protagonist whose arc actually changes. From there they zoom out to the dark night of the soul, systemic evil, why the enemy lost its mandate after World War II, the gas pump sticker meme, and how moral relativism quietly leads good people into advocating for monsters.
Three takes on lava-driven disaster, each reflecting its moment in Hollywood. In 1997, Dante's Peak (directed by Roger Donaldson, starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton) leaned on scientific realism and modest character drama, earning solid box office returns and a reputation as the more grounded of the twin volcano films. That same year, Volcano (Mick Jackson, with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche) went bigger and more chaotic, dropping lava into Los Angeles for a spectacle-first hit that performed well commercially and remains a cable staple. By 2003, The Core (Jon Amiel, starring Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, and Stanley Tucci) pushed the concept to its extreme—less lava, more planetary meltdown—failing at the box office but gaining cult status for its ambition. Together, they chart lava's evolution from scientific threat to cinematic excess.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

"Am I hallucinating *all* of this? You tell me it's all a dream." We get to the ultra-disco noir fever dream Eyes of Laura Mars with our resident Faye Dunaway expert and friend, Garrett Mitchell, this week. It's been a while since we've covered Miss Dunaway on the podcast, but she's truly one of the most iconic leading ladies of the 1970s, that all peaked with Irvin Kershner's thriller set in the backdrop of a gritty NYC in the fashion world. This movie might not be along the lines of 70s classics, but we're here to say it's a heck of a ride. With a story by John Carpenter and produced by Jon Peters, who bought the story with the idea of it being a star vehicle for his then-girlfriend Barbra Streisand at the time before it went to Dunaway, the film follows Laura Mars, a fierce fashion photographer, as she develops an ability to see through the eyes of a killer. We talk about Faye's insane levels on display, René Auberjonois as some fun queer representation, Tommy Lee Jones's unibrow, and a secretly sexy Brad Dourif.

YDirector Barry Sonnenfeld joins Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden on this episode of the Really? no Really? Podcast with more true stories from his career as both a Hollywood director and cinematographer. Peter discovered a TED Talk that Barry did called How to Get People to Do What You Want, that was fascinating, funny and very informative. Barry also has a new book out called, Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time: True Stories from a Career in Hollywood, that's filled with fascinating stories spanning his whole career in Hollywood. From starting off as a cinematographer for the Coen Brothers to directing blockbuster movies like Men In Black, The Addams Family and Get Shorty. Barry will share some pretty entertaining stories. Some of our favorite stories include a scene from Get Shorty that needed to be cut for budget purposes but was also the head of MGM's favorite scene. Plus, you'll want to hear about his story working with Tommy Lee Jones and Rip Torn on Men In Black. They truly hated he each other. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Season 5 kicks off with Men in Black. Valerie is studying plot structure, and Melanie is studying resonance. Now, admittedly, plot structure doesn't sound very sexy but it's one of the first decisions a writer must make. If you haven't chosen a structure for your novel, how will you know if what you've written is working? Do you know what the structure options are? Resonance is the ability to evoke or suggest images, emotions, and memories, and all successful writers use it to draw on their readers' experiences. So, how are you putting it to use in your own WIP? - V.

On this episode of the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons, Mike is sent straight into the molten chaos of Volcano (1997), the disaster of a disaster movie starring Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Heche, and what appears to be a Hell of a lot of molten Velveeta flowing through the streets of Los Angeles. Directed by Mick Jackson, this late-'90s spectacle swaps out an actual volcano for an endless surge of lava, asking audiences to accept city management and seismology as a substitute for action. After Mike's review, the guys count down their Bottom Five Misnamed Movies, picks that highlight some seriously misleading marketing with titles that just plain don't match the movie they're attached to. Then it's time for Dueling Double Bills, as the guys square off with another pair of loosely connected double features before Mike closes things out by assigning Jay his next cinematic punishment, because on Filmjitsu the cycle of suffering never truly cools.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're suiting up for Men in Black (1997), where aliens live among us, the government knows everything, and Will Smith learns the hard way not to touch the red button. Gene and Big D break down the perfect mix of sci-fi, comedy, and '90s cool, from Tommy Lee Jones' deadpan delivery to Vincent D'Onofrio's bug-eyed nightmare performance. Does this blockbuster still feel fresh, or is it just a relic of peak '90s attitude? Tune in and find out.
D. B. SweeneyTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know iconic actor D.B. Sweeney. In this episode, we chat about his long and storied career, and some behind the scenes fun; including performing on Broadway with Broadway Joe himself, learning how to ride a horse on the set of a movie he wasn't even in, a famous actor deliberately trying to get D.B. injured on set, and even how an actress' broken leg altered one of the biggest movies of the 90's. D.B. is quite knowledgeable about horse racing and so we trade stories about being at The Kentucky Derby at the same time, before diving into his time as a professional baseball player. He has several film projects in the works currently. 'Protector' (Milla Jovovich) is out NOW, 'Red Ink' recently completed filming, as did the film 'Boot Lake' (part of the 100 Pages Project). 'Last Bastard Standing', 'That's Amore', 'Breaking The Ice', and 'Horsehead' are all in various forms of pre-production; so, we talk a bit about all of these films as well. D. B. is a very passionate supporter of the United States military, so we discuss why that is, and how he is involved in helping our veterans. As we close out the show, I ask D.B. if there was anything else that he wanted to discuss, maybe something I missed. I meant about his career, or himself. His answer was not at all what I was expecting, and it shows how selfless D.B. is. Bravo, Mr. Sweeney. Check out 'Protector' in theaters now, and keep your eyes peeled for all of his upcoming projects.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watch U.S. Marshals, the extremely lackluster sequel to The Fugitive which dispenses with a straightforward cat and mouse story in favor of a byzantine conspiracy involving government moles, foreign espionage and the Taiwanese government. Directed by Stuart Baird, U.S. Marshals stars Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr., Joe Pantoliano, Kate Nelligan and Irène Jacob. The tagline for U.S. Marshalls was "The cop who won't stop is back. But this time he's chasing down a lot more than a fugitive."You can find the film to rent or buy on Amazon and Apple TV.Episodes of the podcast are released roughly every other week, so join us again later this month for a look at Mercury Rising, Harold Becker's conspiracy thriller starring Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, Miko Hughes, Chi McBride and Kim Dickens.
