Also, I'm going to show you, I'm going to show you all this.

Oh, Ransom
GregHOST
Fire.
MarkHOST
Dude.
MarkHOST
No, I grew up in a movie shop.
MarkHOST
We're talking
JoeHOST
about Ransom for the only, for the only, only for the listeners.
JoeHOST
Mark has a picture of the Ransom movie poster.
ConnorHOST
[laughs]
Ian BoydGUEST
... and movie maker of the last 50 years or so.
ConnorHOST
He's a great director, for sure.
Ian BoydGUEST
He's done amazing stuff.
Ian BoydGUEST
I- he's fallen out of favor, obviously, for-
ConnorHOST
Yeah
Ian BoydGUEST
... off-camera stuff, but his, his movies are unbelievable.
ConnorHOST
One of my favorites is Apocalypto.
David SamsonHOST
The direction is the direction of a Netflix movie of the week instead of a major motion picture, which is what Netflix is going for.
David SamsonHOST
A kidnapping? A guy running for mayor who wants to be president trying to get his kid back and not calling the police? It reminded me of the Mel Gibson movie Ransom, filmed on Madison Avenue all those years ago when I was training for a marathon and had to, like, avoid the shots of the big car wrecks on Madison Avenue during Ransom.
David SamsonHOST
I gotta tell you, nothing original, nothing interesting, no good acting.
David SamsonHOST
Kerry Washington, totally wasted.
David SamsonHOST
I'm not willing to put Ben Affleck in a conversation of the great directors of our time, but I'm willing to put Ben Affleck as an Oscar-winning director of Argo, best picture.
David SamsonHOST
I'm willing to talk about Ben Affleck and the movie The Town, which was outstanding.
David SamsonHOST
Gone Girl, which was outstanding, although that may not be Ben Affleck.
David SamsonHOST
Is it Gone Baby Gone? Gone Girl, thank you, Coca.
David SamsonHOST
He co-wrote it.
David SamsonHOST
The script is the script of a four year old.

Dan MurrellHOST
So I don't have much of an opinion, but the clips I've seen were pretty good.
Dan MurrellHOST
Wells009 says, 1996's Ransom isn't available on any streaming service.
Dan MurrellHOST
I had to buy the 2004 DVD to see it.
Dan MurrellHOST
Why do some movies get so hard to find? Well, there can be a lot of complex issues that are tied up in that.
Dan MurrellHOST
So a lot of times it's rights issues with a production company or with a filmmaker.
Dan MurrellHOST
And sometimes movies just get forgotten, lost.
Dan MurrellHOST
Like, you know, I remember Ransom being in theaters, and it's a notable movie.
Dan MurrellHOST
I mean, it's a Ron Howard movie.
Kieran BHOST
Um, man, you know, I don't think I have.
Kieran BHOST
So I get that mixed up with ransom.
Kieran BHOST
Ransom's Mel Gibson.
Kieran BHOST
Yes,
Adam St. JohnGUEST

Logan CroslandHOST

Tim CapelGUEST
I heard Keith's gonna get Logan with Ransom-
Scott ShiflettHOST
I'm gonna let Drive in

Logan CroslandHOST

Scott ShiflettHOST
Ransom.
LaurenPANELIST

LaurenPANELIST
It was from like the mid-90s with Mel Gibson called Ransom.
JessePANELIST
No. It's Mel
LaurenPANELIST
Gibson, Rene Russo, and it's about this very wealthy, well-off New York couple whose son is kidnapped and then being held for ransom.
Ricky StormHOST
Last Day on Mars, Goon, Last of the Enforcers.
Ricky StormHOST
Oh, Ransom.
Ricky StormHOST
That's a Mel Gibson movie.
D.B. RichardsHOST
Yeah, I was ready to say that.
Ryan D AkinolaHOST
I think it's '90s.
Ryan D AkinolaHOST
Um, it's called Ransom, and it's about, uh, same thing except he's not a politician.
Ryan D AkinolaHOST
He's just a rich guy, and they kidnap his son, and they hold him hostage.
Ryan D AkinolaHOST
And it, yeah.
