Well, what can you say about the biggest movie of all time and the welcome-to-the-world party for the biggest movie star of all time? A lot, apparently, as The Ford Fiesta about Star Wars clocks in as the longest, but there's never a dull moment as Paul & Adam welcome guest and author of Why We Love Star Wars: The Great Moments That Built a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Ken Napzok, brings hit expertise from The Force Center Podcast to the show. The Movie Guys thought they knew everything, but there's always something new to dig up about this legendary film.
The '70s saw Harrison Ford start a decade of working with three of the best directors of all time - George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. This week, Adam and Paul dive deep into Ford's first collaboration with Coppola - The Conversation - and the creepy, nuanced, smooth performance of Ford as Martin Stett. This was the best re-discovery so far on The Ford Fiesta!
Paul and Adam enter the classics phase of Harrison Ford's career as they profile, one-by-one, every movie that's featured the legendary actor. There's much to discuss about this week's film - American Graffiti. From the struggles to make it, to why it's ground-breaking, to the launch of so many incredible careers to Paul coining the phrase "genius incest", this one's a ride. Hop in your roadster and go cruisin' with The Movie Guys.
The next film in The Movie Guys quest to see EVERYTHING Harrison Ford has appeared in finds him in a new genre - the '60s social unrest movie. This is Ford's last small part outside of a cameo and it's alongside Elliott Gould in Getting Straight. How many '60s anti-war tropes can the film wedge into its story? How long until Elliott Gould stops yelling? How many people does Harrison Ford punch? Paul & Adam get to the bottom of it all...
Harrison Ford gets his most screen time yet in Journey To Shiloh, a Civil War drama meets a western film from 1968. Paul and Adam break it down, including the weird '60s song that describes all the characters for you. Plus, Ford News, This Date in Ford History and the usual nonsense you come to expect from The Movie Guys.
The Ford Fiesta moves into Harrison Ford's early western phase. He made a pair of westerns in the '60s and wouldn't return to the genre unless Gene Wilder or aliens were involved. In this episode, Paul and Adam break down A Time For Killing, featuring Glenn Ford, a Ford who takes up far too much screen time when there's another perfectly good Ford sitting there who doesn't do enough!
The Ford Fiesta rolls on with the second film of Harrison Ford's career, the 1967 Jack Lemmon/Peter Falk comedy Luv. "Now, what the hell is that?", you may be thinking. Paul & Adam thought the same thing, so they bring in special guest Movie Guy Steven Lewis to sort things out. PLUS, an historic moment as Harrison Ford throws his first on-screen punch!
The Ford Fiesta is here! Join Movie Guys Paul Preston and Adam Witt as they celebrate the hell out of screen icon Harrison Ford, covering one movie per episode until they've seen everything Ford ever made. Episode #1 is all about Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round, Ford's first film. Paul and Adam debut their regular segments - the patented Movie Guys Recap, Harrison Ford News, This Date in Ford History, The Definitive List of Ford Essentials, "How Harrison Ford IS He in This?", The Harrison Ford Punch Count and, of course, loads of movie talk.
