Episode 154: Saving Private Ryan

from Let's Jaws For a Minute · host Sarah Buddery and MJ Smith

Spielberg Season 2 keeps chugging into Spielberg's final film of the 1990's (or 1900's), Saving Private Ryan. MJ and Sarah are joined by Nick Mear to talk about the reverence Spielberg is able to maintain for its subjects while also keeping things moving at a good pace, lots of behind the scenes magic, and whether accusations of Spielberg being "schmaltzy" are legitimate.
