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.
