1989: Always with David Iserson

David Iserson joins us to talk about the second big miss of Steven Spielberg's career, the critically panned romantic drama Always.

Get ready for two hours of Richard Dreyfuss dunking, as we try to figure out what went so wrong in the creation of this tepid remake. Would Always have been a classic with a more charming actor in the lead role? We talk about what this movie could have been if Spielberg were able to cast his first choices, what we think works about the concept and script, and where we think it went so, horrifically wrong (Hint, it's mostly Dreyfuss).

Stay until the end to hear our Spielberg top tens!
