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.

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.

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.

Paul and Adam get to the bottom of it with a lively recap and discussion of Heroes. Plus, lots of Harrison Ford news as Indiana Jones 5 gets more traction.
