A Man, A Plane, A Catastrophe

On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I’m joined by actor Munro Chambers, who’s in two movies this month: Jovanka Vuckovic’s Riot Girls, which dropped on VOD earlier this month, and Rob Grant’s Harpoon, which opened at the Carlton last Friday (and is really good) and arrives on iTunes today. He’s having a lot of in both of them.

His pick? Cast Away, Robert Zemeckis’ 2000 survival drama starring Tom Hanks as a FedEx employee marooned on a tropical island, and forced to figure out, once his basic human needs are met, how to actually survive. If you haven’t seen it in a while, you might want to take another look. It’s pretty great, and Hanks is just remarkable — and hearing Munro marvel at the specifics of his performance is a pleasure in itself.
