Movies You Forgot You Forgot

It's the year 2000. Hollywood mega guy Clint Eastwood is releasing a movie starring him and directed by him. He's cast some cool, older guys to be his buddies. That's right, it's Space Cowboys (this isn't a joke).

Joe & Adam dive head first into barely talking about the movie at all, but instead discuss: which Friends characters would be which directors? Who would be recast in today's version of Space Cowboys? Where are today's Marcia Gay Hardens? And other such topics.

What is a Constant Gardener? Is Ralph Fiennes’ subtle performance a help or a hinderance for a film that is neither satisfyingly edgy nor solidly genre-tastic? 

Find out for the latest MYFYF episode on the Fernando Meirelles big pharma whistleblower flick, The Constant Gardener (2005). Also starring Rachel Weisz, this is as plum a forgot as you’ll ever likely to see.

Jon Turteltaub’s National Treasure (2004) gets a good going over. Why is it so long? Why is Sean Bean so good in such a duff flick? Why are Americans obsessed with Freemasons? What bit of the Nic Cage cycle are we in?

Oh and an odd phone call from Tommy Lee Jones. All that and more awaits.

It’s a special non-canon episode today, as Joe and Adam each went to see Ryan Gosling’s latest sci-fi blockbuster Project Hail Mary. Or should that be Project Fail Mary? 

Is it a fine movie? Or a good movie? Or a fine erring on good movie? Or a good erring on very good movie?

Also, can Ryan Gosling ‘open’ a movie? And if he can’t, who can?

Back to normal next week and: National Treasure!

It’s canon episode 100, the listener-picked film: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, released is the hazy mists of time: 2001.

The much-loved first film in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogy finally gets its due on MYFF. It’s one of Joe’s faves of all time - he says it’s art. Adam is a little more chilly on it, has this rewatch softened his heart and made him an admirer?

They discuss the love and craft that went into the flick, the beautiful Balrog, Sean Bean’s film-stealing Boromir, the wrong lesson Hollywood learned from Lotr’s boffo box office and cultural impact, plus the artistic folly of going back to recapture magic, and lots lots more.

**ADAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AI GENERATED EPISODE THUMBNAIL - JOE WOULD NEVER DO THIS**

James Kirk and Spock join the crew of the USS Enterprise and try to stop the destruction of multiple planets. That's right, it's JJ Abrams' 2009 Star Trek debut. Was this just his audition for Star WARS? Who knows.
