This Week on the Force Five Podcast:

This week, host Jason Kleeberg is joined again by screenwriter Phil Iscove, creator of the Fox series Sleepy Hollow and co-host of Podcast Like It’s. Today’s topic is Top 5 Ticking Clock films…these are films where a life‑or‑death deadline hangs over everything - not just a dramatic two‑minute bomb‑scene—it’s the entire premise. Think High Noon where Gary Cooper’s Will Kane awaits the arrival of the Miller Gang on the twelve o’clock train or 1988’s D.O.A., where Dennis Quaid has just 48 hours to find out who poisoned him.
