Returning guest Erik Childress of Film Threat, Efilmcritic, and The Chicago Film Critics Association joins us to talk about the incredibly innovative Robert Zemeckis. We definitely touch upon some of his classic films later in the show but the main reviews we focus on are the more divisive choices, FORREST GUMP and his follow-up foray into science-fiction CONTACT. In addition, Erik talks about A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, Jim discusses WRONG, and Patrick reviews the classic SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS.0:00 – 7:59 – Introduction / In-house business 8:00 – 8:59 – What We Watched This Week Song 9:00 – 22:40 – What Erik Watched This Week 22:41 – 28:59 – What Jim Watched This Week 29:00 – 39:22 - What Patrick Watched This Week 39:23 – 40:23 – Robert Zemeckis Song 40:24 – 43:15 – Director Introduction 43:16 – 1:24:13 – Forrest Gump Review 1:24:14 – 2:11:11 – Contact Review 2:11:12 – 2:28:00 – Other Zemeckis Movies We Love 2:28:01 – 2:35:45 – Top 3 Coen Brothers Films / Outro
