About this listen

Ed and Scott spend an episode talking about the reassuring presence of actor Tom Hanks, a man who has made a career out of playing a "decent guy." They discuss two examples of his filmography, 1990's Joe Versus the Volcano, an amusing fable starring Hanks and Meg Ryan, and also 2020's Greyhound, where Hanks plays an inexperienced American Naval captain attempting a treacherous ocean crossing during WWII's Battle of the Atlantic. Of course, they delve deeper into his career, from TV's Bosom Buddies and early comedies (i.e. The Bachelor Party) to his transition to dramas like Philadelphia and Castaway and, in recent years, reassuring stories like Sully, Captain Philips, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
