Season Three is here! And what a great rewatch this was! Paul & Adam dive deep into what Roger Ebert called "the most cheerfully exciting, bizarre, goofy, romantic adventure movie since Raiders". COULDN'T AGREE MORE. The charm and balls-out "Anything Goes" action of this movie have actually improved over time as the making-of, script, characters and Ford himself get a good once-over in this episode, along with the usual segments and Ford news that make this one of the most unique movie podcasts out there.

Joining Paul and Adam on The Ford Fiesta this week is stand-up comedian and friend from The Movie Trivia Schmoedown Mark Ellis! Mark has a great campaign for why Return of the Jedi is the best of the original Star Wars trilogy - it's the WIN. Mark sits in on the whole show and the Ford news, fun facts and rampant BITS run roughshod all over the show. This is a good one, people...

One of the reasons The Ford Fiesta is happening is because there are Harrison Ford movies we've never seen. The other is to see CLASSICS, and Raiders of the Lost Ark is that, considered by Paul & Adam to be one of the greatest films ever made, so...prepare for them to GO ON. Film critic Dan Murrell joins the conversation after the usual nonsense - Harrison Ford News, This Date in Ford History and more!

We're in the '80s! The Harrison Ford 1980s may be unmatched by any other actor in terms of huge movies, and it all begins with arguably the most acclaimed sequel of all time - The Empire Strikes Back (your move, The Godfather, Part II). Ford's return as Han Solo requires all hands on deck to talk about, PLUS a guest - podcaster and friend from The Movie Trivia Schmoedown, Chance Ellison. Great movie, and a great show as we're fired up to kick this one about!

Welcome to Season Two! When you take a longer-then-planned break between episodes of any podcast, it's a good idea to come back and just claim you were between seasons. Harrison Ford's epic, two-podcast-season-spanning 1979 comes to a close with an appearance in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. There's so much to say about this film, largely considered one of the best ever made, Paul & Adam recruited their friend and Movie Trivia Schmoedown cohort John Kaiser to join them. Then...the drinking started. Enjoy.

Bob Falfa is back! Briefly, but it's a Harrison Ford movie so Paul and Adam are all over it. Forty-three years later and you still have to convince some people there was a sequel to American Graffiti. This episode gives the movie its due and explores just how ambitious the film really was. And it turns out you don't have to twist the arm of this week's guest to talk about More American Graffiti as film critic William Bibbiani joins the show.

Who would think to pair Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford? Who would think to pair Harrison Ford with this script? These questions and more are answered as Adam and Paul watch (and Adam for the first time) The Frisco Kid, about a rabbi headed to San Francisco from Poland. Along they way, he meets bank robber Tommy Lillard in the last western Ford will appear in for a long while. Movie Guy Steve Lewis helps with writing an in-depth recap of the film as the Ford's eclectic era between STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK gets further explored.

Paul and Adam take a deep dive into Hanover Street, one of the many war movies Harrison Ford was involved in after Star Wars. Is this the type of film that solidifies Ford's status as a major movie star? ...not really! The pre-Empire/post-Star Wars era is fascinating, as is this look at this little-seen 1979 Peter Hyams ROMANCE (capital letters intended). And, as ever, Harrison Ford news and This Date in Ford History.
