We assume most people are wondering why, of all the potential topics for a podcast, we're making one about Josh Hartnett. So we made a special, short intro episode to explain that! Here, Patrick, Matt, and Jake sit down for a quick chat about how this podcast came to be, why it exists, and what to expect.
We're kicking off our podcast with a landmark film in cinema history: the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to the Halloween franchise, but more importantly, the first film role of the man himself, Josh Hartnett. Listen as Patrick, Matt, and Jake discuss their first impressions of Hartnett, LL Cool J's erotic fiction, and the convoluted history of the Halloween franchise.
This week we're talking about the first movie Josh Hartnett was ever cast in and his second movie released in 1998. That's right, it's The Faculty. Can writer Kevin Williamson do for sci-fi what he did for horror with Scream? How does Robert Rodriguez fare in the only work-for-hire movie he ever directed? And...is that Jon Stewart as the alien-possessed science teacher? There's a lot fo discuss here, so buckle up and get ready to heart Hartnett.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Trip Fontaine! This week we cover Sofia Coppola's debut film, about a bunch of sisters in the 1970s, the boys who love them, and also a lot of death. But most importantly, Josh Hartnett very nearly steals the entire movie in his role as the dreamiest guy in school. There's a lot to talk about here, so put your Hart Hats on (also your headphones) and join us!
This week Josh gets caught up in a love triangle for the ages in the 2000 romantic drama HERE ON EARTH, co-starring with Chris Klein and Leelee Sobieski. Did we like this movie(spoilers: no)? Was Josh good (spoilers: yes)? Did it contain the most loathsome, sociopathic protagonist we've seen in years (spoilers: also yes). You should never watch this movie but you SHOULD listen to us talk about it.
We’ve got a guest! Cartoonist, writer, actor, and longtime friend Mike Curran joins us to discuss this quirky British comedy in which Josh Hartnett was inexplicably cast as Alan Rickman’s son. Join us as we discuss a screenplay mangled by the studio, Josh’s struggles with a British accent, and the infamous “geisha cancer scene.”
Josh’s string of stinkers continues with 2001’s Town & Country, a “comedy” about wealthy old people having affairs that somehow cost $100 million, took 2 years to make, and ended up being one of the biggest flops in box office history. Listen in as we discuss the film that caused Warren Beatty to quit making movies for fifteen years.
We Heart Hartnett: DELUXE EDITION. We needed two hours to cover this three-hour movie. We've finally reached one of the biggest movies of Josh Hartnett's career, the moment he officially became a movie star. It's the much-maligned Michael Bay romantic period epic that's kind of like Titanic if it were less good and contained way more explosions. So buckle up, because it's finally time for Patrick to deliver his grand theory of Michael Bay's career.
This week we travel back to that era when Hollywood couldn't stop turning the works of Shakespeare into hip movies for teens. And our main man Josh Hartnett got caught up in the action! We're chatting all about the 2001 film O, an adaptation of Othello so edgy that it dropped all but one letter from the title. It's kind of sort of vaguely Shakespeare's story, but with way more basketball and teens taking drugs.
This week we’re talking about a movie that’s actually good! Our boy Josh Hartnett joins an all-star ensemble cast for the Oscar-winning war film Black Hawk Down. We’re joined by our good friend, actor Scott Thomas to explore important topics like the soundtrack for The Faculty, the greatness of Tom Sizemore, who Ridley Scott actually is, and once again, Josh’s eyes.
