    Regarding Henry (1991)

    Regarding Henry (1991)

    For their 125th episode, two amnesiac film critics, two ignorant dads, and two redemptive teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue to dive into the older and lesser-seen films of Harrison Ford. Last week, it was "Hanover Street." This week, the boys jump up a decade and change to 1991's "Regarding Henry" written by a young J.J. Abrams and directed by Ford's "Working Girl" director Mike Nichols. This is a cuddlier part for the typical rough and gruff Ford. Listen to hear what our guys thought.

    Hanover Street (1979)

    Hanover Street (1979)

    For their 124rd episode, two dashing film critics, two non-veteran dads, and two honorable teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin to venture to some of the older and underseen films of Harrison Ford. They were inspired after spending in-person time together earlier this summer with "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Up first is 1979's romantic drama "Hanover Street" from director Peter Hyams. The movie attempted to make Ford a swoon-worthy romantic lead between the first two "Star Wars" movies when his charisma shot up like a rocket. The guys share their thoughts!

These guys are great!

I’m always down for a good time and CHF certainly delivers. I’m always ready for the next episode!

KCHNC ,

Smart and thoughtful

You all offer great analysis, and I appreciate the long(er) episodes—I’m curious if you’d discuss Barbarian for a Halloween show.

mcrowls ,

Two average guys, a not so average show

Don and Will argue about films with the amount of grace and intelligence you won’t find on ESPN.
