Ron Howard has always been a divisive director on the Film Junk Podcast, and it's time we finally dig into a selection of his filmography. Is he a normie, corporate pinhead getting by on his nice guy reputation? Or is he a titan of cinema, thriving across genres and adapting to powerhouse casts and challenging technical demands?
