Tom Hanks won an Oscar for playing Forrest Gump, a simple man who inadvertently—and repeatedly—affects the course of American history.
This week, we talk about James’ Forrest fan fiction, we pick our favorite tracks from this movie’s epic soundtrack, and we reminisce about looking at porn in Tower Records. Stupid is as stupid does, but does Forrest Gump stand the Test of Time?
Thank you so much for this episode! It was great, your analysis was very interesting. Also a separate thank you for giving some attention to the soundtrack and the score. Pieces of music to accompany the talk about the movie were a perfect complement.
Thank you for the kind words! This movie and its soundtrack are so entwined, it would be weird to mention one without the other.
