Few people in Hollywood have survived as many scandals as Mel Gibson, whose career as an A-list leading man famously came to a grinding halt in 2006 when he was hit with a DUI in Malibu. The New York native came under fire after the police report (via the Los Angeles Times) revealed that he blurted out a barrage of anti-Semitic remarks, and he was back in trouble again a few years later when several recordings of him yelling at Oksana Grigorieva mother of his then-1-year-old daughter leaked online. The likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Jodie Foster, and Robert Downey Jr. voiced their support, but Gibson would remain a pariah in Tinseltown until he made a triumphant return with his World War II epic, Hacksaw Ridge, in 2016.

Movies can be more than a mere distraction…but do they need to be? Should grown men and women feel a little embarrassed to watch a super-hero flick involving characters and concepts originally intended for children instead of serious stuff made for adults? Should Hollywood be embarrassed it can’t made serious stuff many adults want to watch? Does it have to be one or the other?
This edition of KIMT’s Weekend Throwdown will examine two films on opposite sides of that divide. One is a precise moral argument wrapped up in the trial of a man’s soul. The other is an emotional rollercoaster where you always know you’re perfectly safe. It’s “Ransom!” (1956) vs. “Ransom” (1996) in a battle between a timeless story and the different eras in which it is told.
