This is about what a jerk Ridley Scott is, the anti-Blade Runner, and a miserable pissed off Harrison Ford.

Thanks for a very enjoyable podcast. I'd love to hear you guys tackle many other canonic works of cult sci-fi.
Hmm, interesting thought on the comparison to The Big Sleep. I know Sean and Paul mentioned in the Greatest Movie Ever podcast about Blade Runner that Harrison Ford always seems to act like a nerd when he goes undercover in movies, but I didn't remember any instances of him doing that outside of Blade Runner. I like your explanation better, though I also couldn't think of any other noir movies with a nerdy disguse.
Do you have suggestions for cult sci-fi films you'd like us to talk about? We're planning to cover THX-1138 soon if that helps!
It's not a noir film but in Last Crusade Ford goes "under cover" at the castle and turns into a complete dork. "We're here to see ze tapestries"
Oh really? Interesting. I haven't seen that movie in forever.
I'd really like to see you guys do a podcast on 2001. You spent a lot of time talking about Scott, maybe we can hear about Kubrick, too.
How about Aliens, The Terminator, Superman, The Road Warrior, and Escape from New York?
I feel at this point you guys definitely have the chops to go for the genre milestones.
Interesting. Terminator is something I could see us doing.
Gooberzilla (aka Greatest Movie Ever) did a podcast of Road Warrior a while ago. Thats a tough act to beat.
