Episode 298: The Harrison Ford Sweet Sixteen

Another tourney bracket to find out what classic Harrison Ford role will join Nic Cage's "Castor Troy" in the Greatest Movie Roles Ever Bracket (coming 2019)

A four finger show, meaning no Pinky, commences with Mikey & Dave, with Wit Stillman Fan, Brie Lover (The Cheese, Larsen & Allison), Film Historian, Terrance Malick Apologist & World Famous Urologist Dr. Earl, plus Friend O'the Show Clay Shaver, host of the Remodeling Clay Podcast.

In a long awaited (by someone, surely) updated Be Kind // Rewind, Clay introduces the classic "Harry & the Hendersons" and gives the rundown about how it holds up. 

And amidst a great discussion on the gone potential of Julia Ormond and the underratedness of "Working Girl" and old "Sabrina" vs new "Sabrina", Harrison Ford being crotchety, the actual Harrison Ford bracket takes shape... Jack Trainer and Indiana Jones and John Book and Bob Falfa and Dekkard and on and on. 

Plus, alternate actors playing Indiana Jones & Han Solo.  Can you imagine Tom Selleck as Indy... and maybe Pacino as Solo?   OOOH AAH THE FORCE! 

Of course, it all comes down to Indy vs Solo, but it's a fun ride to get there!
