PODCAST: Episode 125 of "The Cinephile Hissy Fit" Podcast

For their 125th episode, two amnesiac film critics, two ignorant dads, and two redemptive teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue to dive into the older and lesser-seen films of Harrison Ford. Last week, it was Hanover Street. This week, the boys jump up a decade and change to 1991's Regarding Henry written by a young J.J. Abrams and directed by Ford's Working Girl director Mike Nichols. This is a cuddlier part for the typical rough and gruff Ford. Listen to hear what our guys thought.

PODCAST: Episode 124 of "The Cinephile Hissy Fit" Podcast

For their 124rd episode, two dashing film critics, two non-veteran dads, and two honorable teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin to venture to some of the older and underseen films of Harrison Ford. They were inspired after spending in-person time together earlier this summer with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Up first is 1979's romantic drama Hanover Street from director Peter Hyams. The movie attempted to make Ford a swoon-worthy romantic lead between the first two "Star Wars" movies when his charisma shot up like a rocket.

OVERDUE REVIEW: The Age of Adaline

In a new subset of movie reviews on my main website, I am circling back to see and review reasonably recent films that I either missed during their main theatrical runs or saw later then their window of mainstream prominence. As a guy with a traveling day job and a new father of "two-under-two," I can't see everything every week and I have to choose my spots to head out to the theater. These are my educational-themed "OVERDUE REVIEWS" and the life lessons are still in full effect.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Expendables 3

I can’t get away with the same review re-write gag for “The Expendables 3” that I did for “The Expendables 2.” I know it’s a stretch to say this, but Stallone went back to the drawing board, even if it’s an Etch-A-Sketch, to actually formulate *GASP* the semblance of an actual plot. It’s not a pretty one, but the third film, for the most part, departs from the hearty rerun missions of the first two films.
