  • Asteroid City (2023)

    Asteroid City (2023)
    Jun 5 2024
    Last summer, Tom Hanks teamed up with Wes Anderson for Asteroid City, and now it's time to talk about it on #HANX for the Memories! After a brief explanation as to why this episode is roughly one year late, we talk about the fact that this is the first Wes Anderson movie either of us have covered for a podcast, how COVID impacted and inspired this film, and how father and grandfather roles seem to suit Tom Hanks pretty well. We talk about how Hanks handles the specific requests and needs of a Wes Anderson movie and what we'd like to see if Tom Hanks was the true star of a Wes Anderson project. We ask: did this movie not hit as well the second time around? Does the artifice in Wes Anderson's movies work anymore? How does Wes Anderson compare and contrast with Tim Burton? We look ahead to upcoming Tom Hanks movies.

  • A Man Called Otto (2022)

    A Man Called Otto (2022)
    Mar 7 2023
    Now that A Man Called Otto is available on VOD, we stopped kicking the can down the road and decided to watch it. After sharing our pre-conceived notions of the film (and whether or not it lived up to them), we talk about the depressing trend of Hollywood's continual remakes of European films and wonder whether a movie with those tone plays better there than it does here. We also wonder why the movie decided to both cast a young Tom Hanks AND digitally de-age him in separate scenes, whether or not Hanks will return to comedy (or at least to the types of movies we prefer), and what's holding Hanks back from making more exciting movies. We try to manifest his upcoming film roles and share ways we could make A Man Called Otto better -- or at least more interesting.

    Pinocchio (2022)
    Sep 28 2022
    #HANX for the Memories is back for a semi-surprise dump of Pinocchio (2022) onto Disney+, featuring Tom Hanks as Gepetto. It's not the longest episode we've ever done, because, well... it's a movie we've seen before. We dive into the "quest for content" on all streaming services, the many adaptations of Pinocchio that have released in the past few years, and whether or not Robert Zemeckis's version does anything truly new. We talk about Tom Hanks's portrayal of Gepetto, the character found in this movie but not in the original, and whether or not the ending is a cop out.
