Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 5: Tommy Lee Jones/Stormy Monday

Craggy faced Texan and professional sourpuss Tommy Lee Jones is under the spotlight in this episode of Celluloid Skeletons. Listen to Joe and returning guest Sophie Watson as they chat about his work over the years, playing gruff, closed off men in films like The Fugitive, Men in Black and No Country for Old Men. With all that in mind Joe and Sophie take a look at Stormy Monday a 1988 romantic thriller set in Newcastle which features Jones alongside Melanie Griffith, Sean Bean and Sting.

Listen along to hear all about a weird fictional festival called America week, Newcastle’s obsession with jazz and Tommy Lee Jones as a flashy American businessman with a mullet and a power suit.
