Feeling Good With Gung Ho

Binge-Watchers Podcast

WE ARE GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT FEEL GOOD MOVIES SO FOR THE AUDIENCE WATCHING ALONG AT HOME, A feel-good film is a film which presents people and life in a way which makes the people who watch it feel happy and optimistic.

Before we talk about Gung Ho let’s go to Home Video Headlines and see what we have heard about movies and TV...

Great actor and man’s man, Sir Sean Connery passed, so we mention our favorite movies of his remarkable and extensive filmography such as League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Dragon Heart, Highlander, Untouchables, Hunt For Red October, and many more.

Tonight’s movie is Gung Ho. An unemployed auto factory foreman played by Michael Keaton goes to Japan to cut a deal with a company to reopen his auto plant back home and save his hometown. There is a culture class and debate about work ethics, but ultimately, seeing it from both sides, the two groups come together for a common goal.

The supporting cast is very good including George Wendt, Gedde Watanabe, Rick Overton, John Torturro, Rodney Kageyama, and Mimi Rogers.

Our first impression of this movie is the ending is rewarding and exciting, well-earned and this movie tells a great story with a great cast, and it will make anyone who watches it feel good.

An audience member named Nick sent us an email because he loves this movie called The Beast from 1988; we read his email during the episode to explore his love for this movie and get the word out from one movie fan to another.

Next week we are watching The Hunt For The Wilder People.
