Movies You Forgot You Forgot

Jon Turteltaub’s National Treasure (2004) gets a good going over. Why is it so long? Why is Sean Bean so good in such a duff flick? Why are Americans obsessed with Freemasons? What bit of the Nic Cage cycle are we in?
Oh and an odd phone call from Tommy Lee Jones. All that and more awaits.

It’s a special non-canon episode today, as Joe and Adam each went to see Ryan Gosling’s latest sci-fi blockbuster Project Hail Mary. Or should that be Project Fail Mary? 
Is it a fine movie? Or a good movie? Or a fine erring on good movie? Or a good erring on very good movie?
Also, can Ryan Gosling ‘open’ a movie? And if he can’t, who can?
Back to normal next week and: National Treasure!

Shane Carruth and his buddy build a time machine for $7,000 in a time when such things were possible. Joe & Adam reflect on Primer, a great or unnecessarily complicated film depending on who you ask. Primer was a darling of Independent cinema in 2004, and holds a place in the hearts of many hard sci-fi fans. This episode includes a discussion about time travel, and a series of impersonations of Hugo Weaving as the Agent from The Matrix.

It’s canon episode 100, the listener-picked film: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, released is the hazy mists of time: 2001.
The much-loved first film in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogy finally gets its due on MYFF. It’s one of Joe’s faves of all time - he says it’s art. Adam is a little more chilly on it, has this rewatch softened his heart and made him an admirer?
They discuss the love and craft that went into the flick, the beautiful Balrog, Sean Bean’s film-stealing Boromir, the wrong lesson Hollywood learned from Lotr’s boffo box office and cultural impact, plus the artistic folly of going back to recapture magic, and lots lots more.

1972's The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is considered one of the greatest films of all time. But is it? Joe & Adam discuss that, plus: does it romanticise patriarchy? Does daddy love us? And if one were to recast a mediocre version of The Godfather in the modern day, which role would Chris Pratt play?
