Always

We continue our look at Steven Spielberg's b-sides with a film Roger Ebert quoted as being Spielberg's "weakest film since 1941": Always.  A remake of A Guy Named Joe, it follows Richard Dreyfuss as aerial firefighter Pete Sandich who, during his final mission, dies while saving his best friend. After his death, Pete becomes a spirit attempting to get over his former love and help a budding aerial firefighter get his life on track. It's a film that The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, how it would affect Spielberg's later career, and where it ranks in killer car movies.
