Harrison Ford reunited with his Working Girl director Mike Nichols for this drama, released in the heart of the summer of 1991, in which he plays an unscrupulous hard-charging lawyer who yells at his kid and is generally kind of a jerk to everyone. Until, that is, he's shot in a convenience store robbery and his traumatic brain injury resets his personality. Annette Bening co-stars as Ford's wife alongside Bill Nunn as Bradley, an occupational therapist who may have a dark side (it's a subject of debate in the episode). Oh, and the screenplay comes from a young J.J. Abrams.
We're joined by Josh Horowitz, host of the Happy Sad Confused podcast and the Who's a Good Guest? video series (where he interviews celebrities alongside their pets) for a lively discussion of one of the most unusual films in the Ford Filmography.
