With the release of Robert Zemeckis’s latest film “Here,” Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and I are going back 30 years to look at the last time Zemeckis teamed with actors Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and screenwriter Eric Roth, 1994’s Oscar Best Picture winner, “Forrest Gump,” also starring Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. Critically acclaimed upon release and a huge box-office hit that made it a pop-culture phenomenon, the film would go on to win six Academy Awards from thirteen nominations. How has its reputation fared today? Tune in as we discuss the writing, direction, performances, visual effects, political commentary, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy!
