We Love Dad Movies returns to the nineties this week with a look back at a late-career Jon Frankenheimer banger, RONIN. A ferociously tense, well-placed thriller from the man who directed The Manchurian Candidate and The Train, Ronin is essential nineties dad cinema, focusing on a group of former Cold Warriors led by Robert De Niro and Jean Reno now forced to operate as mercenaries - modern-day masterless samurai - in a world with no Cold War... or so we think. Joining Ewan to discuss this twisty-turny and unheralded nineties classic is professional podcast ronin (and Tony Scott appreciator) James Coddington, who was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Enjoy!
