Big Trouble in Little China 1986
Is Gracie Law/Kim Cattrall the hottest woman alive?
I'm launching a full investigation.

Dante's Peak 1997
Imagine coming to Dantes Peak to investigate a volcano and not only is Linda Hamilton the mayor but she's single and into you.

The Last Emperor 1987
“I was the emperor of China.”
Just an insane sentence from this movie. I forgot to mention this on the pod but that scene where he was under the silk sheets with his two wives..? Holy smokes, gorgeous.
This thing swept at the Oscars in 1988 and for Best Picture it beat out Broadcast News, Fatal Attraction, Hope and Glory, and Moonstruck. If this thing wasn't in English...no way it even gets nominated at the time, right? Could people in the late 1980s even read?

Knight and Day 2010
I will be brave and say Tom has never been funnier. A delight.
There are so many moments where he steals the scene with his delivery and charisma...but also barely anyone has seen this movie in the last decade? The dark years, etc.
It drags a bit and the CGI has aged like milk but it made me yearn for more funny and fun Tom in movies. It's on MAX rn so give love a chance. This 2.8 average rating is a travesty.

Valkyrie 2008
Not bad!
This era of Tom is so bizarre, Lions for Lambs before it and Knight & Day after it before he goes back to formula. The fallout from the couch etc was very real. I thought that meme video of Tom's giant ass was fake until it appeared on-screen. Unreal cheeks.
Anyway, my friends and I have a Tom Cruise retrospective podcast and we recently did an episode on this movie. xoxo

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024
Imagine doubting The Master (tm), Tim Burton.
I would never. Real Fans wouldn’t. Not after he reclaimed his crown with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Date night at PFS East with mah wafe. She was pissed she didn’t think to wear her sandworm costume. She got progressively more pissed when she saw everyone wearing Beetlejuice jackets. “Shoulda been me.” We both love the original and between you and me she gave this 5 stars, too.
Production design was cooking and…

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge 1985
My opinion has changed, OK?
Freddy is legit scary in this. It's mind boggling to me that this came out ONE YEAR after the last one and not only is Freddy actually frightening but they essentially ditched the entire dream premise from the first one. It's like they only had one option; keep Freddy as a lame bozo and keep the dreams or make him kinda rad and ditch the dream stuff.
The entire coach subplot is bananas. I was…

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
I watched the documentary on this movie and in it people are saying this is on par with The Exorcist and I'm just like....??????

Psycho 1960
In front of a sold out crowd of 450 people I was able to show my son that good things can happen when you’re kind and work hard.
Absolutely surreal night at the Film Society Center with my friends to watch a classic. Many for the first time, too! Grateful to chat with folks who flew in for this weekend! Thankful my voice held out for the entire event! Danny’s posters were gone before I even got out of the…

Daredevil 2003
How about Ben Affleck playing both Daredevil and Batman at various points in his career? Goated king master etc.
I remember being in a comic shop 20 years ago telling the clerk that the Director’s Cut of this movie was 100x better than the theatrical. He retorted in the nerdiest voice ever: “Uhhhhh 100x zero is still zero!” Bozo mfer.
Anyway yes the DC is still better than the theatrical and tbh it’s still pretty good. Well it’s pretty good…
