Charlie RoseHOST
Please, don't take my wings.
Charlie RoseHOST
This latest film is a highly anticipated Tom Clancy thriller, The Sum of All Fears.
Charlie RoseHOST
I'm pleased to have Ben Affleck at this table for the first time.
Charlie RoseHOST
Welcome.
Ben AffleckGUEST
Condoleezza Rice has echoed that.
Ben AffleckGUEST
That seems to be a new tack the administration is taking in terms of, I'm not sure what, raising awareness of the public.
Charlie RoseHOST
But the nuclear element makes it, in fact, the sum of all fears.
Ben AffleckGUEST
right it makes a really terrifying and and obviously you know we've one shot the movie we we this was last year a year more than a year ago so we had no idea that it would be such a hot button issue wasn't something that people talked about uh...
speaker_1HOST
He really was.
speaker_1HOST
And then Liev Schreiber brought a very physical, quiet menace to the role later in The Sum of All Fears.
AC WilsonHOST
Right.
AC WilsonHOST
So the character has this massive cinematic pedigree already established.
speaker_1HOST
We are looking at Hollywood's first major attempt to de-age its central hero.
AC WilsonHOST
Ah, yes.
AC WilsonHOST
The 2002 film, The Sum of All Fears.
speaker_1HOST
That's the one.
Erin RyanGUEST
If you Google it, it is a man being lifted by several firefighters, and I think maybe he saw that and is like, "I did.
Erin RyanGUEST
That was me, but I'm alive." And then also there was the movie World Trade Center, the 2006 Oliver Stone film, um, that has a scene that's similar to what he's describing, as, uh, it, there's also a scene similar to that in The Sum of All Fears when the nuclear bomb goes off.
JonathanHOST
Mm.
Erin RyanGUEST
So there's a bunch of...
Fabulous BHOST
But, um, you, you do a scuba? [laughs] No, but, um, then we had, uh, Alexander Leek, uh, which was Alan Bates.
Fabulous BHOST
He was in The Sum of All Fears.
Fabulous BHOST
He was the, uh, professor that, uh, John went to go see in Indiana.
BillPANELIST
Yes
Amanda DobbinsHOST
Mm-hmm.
Sean FennesseyHOST
Um, The Sum of All Fears.
Amanda DobbinsHOST
Yeah.
Sean FennesseyHOST
He stars as Jack Ryan.
Michael HerrickHOST
Starting in, I don't know, junior high or freshman year high school, I started reading Tom Clancy novels.
Michael HerrickHOST
So when they made the sum of all fears into a movie that was absolute dog shit, I hated every second of it because it was just not even close to what it should have been.
Michael HerrickHOST
So from that perspective, I can understand why people get pissed off when a particular IP that they liked is brought from the page to the screen and it doesn't accurately reflect what it was or it changes everything around.
Michael HerrickHOST
I get that to an extent.
Michael HerrickHOST
I cannot imagine going online and whining and crying and bitching and moaning about it.
Michael HerrickHOST
I watched The Sum of All Fears once, and I'll never watch it again.
Michael HerrickHOST
It was terrible.
Michael HerrickHOST
You move on.
Manoj TandonGUEST
those.
Manoj TandonGUEST
Or the one I was thinking of was The Sum of All Fears.
Manoj TandonGUEST
In it,
Joe ErleHOST
it is...
DJ StarsageHOST
She's also known as Allison Pod.
DJ StarsageHOST
She played Michael's sister, Susie, and she also later appeared in films including The Sum of All Fears.
DJ StarsageHOST
which, for those of you who like action movies, was the Jack Ryan series of stories, including The Hunt for Red October.
DJ StarsageHOST
Well, The Sum of All Fears was the early 2000s installment, so she got to play Harrison Ford's movie daughter.
Matt BurlingameHOST
Well, and then we had Michael Hogan, of course, who we talked about.
Matt BurlingameHOST
We played the father.
DJ StarsageHOST
Much like last season when we discussed Starman.
Matt BurlingameHOST
So, Griffin Brewer played Tom, one of the ghosts, who helps Michael.
speaker_1HOST
... right, you've got baseball, ghosts, the lingering cultural trauma of the 1960s, and, uh, Iowa farming economics.
speaker_0HOST
Sounds like a blockbuster, right?
speaker_1HOST
I, I mean, it reads like a recipe for a massive commercial failure.
speaker_1HOST
By all logical metrics of the Hollywood studio system, this project should've just collapsed under its own weight.
18 MINS LATER
speaker_0HOST
Sitting in that crowd during the summer of 1988 were a 17-year-old Matt Damon and a newly 16-year-old Ben Affleck.
speaker_1HOST
Just two local kids soaking up the atmosphere of a major Hollywood production in their hometown stadium.
speaker_0HOST
And the incredible postscript to that is that over a decade later, Phil Alden Robinson is directing the massive blockbuster The Sum of All Fears.
speaker_0HOST
Ben Affleck is his leading man, and on the very first day of production, Affleck walks onto the set, shakes Robinson's hand, and says, "Nice working with you again."
speaker_2UNKNOWN
The
John SayHOST
Hunt for Red October, The Sum of All Fears, Clear and Present Danger, Peacemaker, Eye in the Sky, and Patriot Games.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
I can't write these down.
John SayHOST
And then we went and saw, finally, I've been waiting a long time.
John SayHOST
I had never seen that.
John SayHOST
These are a lot of these, the Jack Ryan movies, which I had not seen before, and I was thoroughly enjoying myself.
John SayHOST
Guys, I had never seen The Sum of All Fears.
John SayHOST
Holy shit.
