Wednesdays are when we 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.640 usually share a show from the Film Spotting Archive, but 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.520 this week we're going to do something a little different. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.840 We're going to share just a little bit of our 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.760 October Bonus Show. Of course, bonus shows we do these 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:51.040 monthly for Film Spotting family members. This one was a 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.880 Tom Cruise draft with you and me, Adam, producer Sam 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.920 and listener Zach Cook, who actually chose the topic. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.560 Yes he did. We always do a draft in October. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.840 The Bonus show is always a listener proposed draft. We 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.920 choose a Film Spotting family member at random, and they 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:17.400 usually suggest two options. We discuss internally which one of 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.840 those two we want to do. And it was Zach's 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.440 first choice the Tom Cruise draft that one out. I 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.240 don't know how much as we're recording this, I don't 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.800 know how much of the draft exactly that producer Sam 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:35.000 is going to offer you. You're probably going to hear, though, listener, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.200 Zach Cook break Josh's heart with his first pick. You 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.559 might also hear Josh break my heart with his second pick, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.959 or maybe not. You might have to actually be a 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.400 family member and listen to the entire draft to get 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:49.640 all that. 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.040 What I'm pretty sure you won't hear, probably because he'll 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.040 edit it out, is Sam with his last pick or two, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.800 just going absolutely into Looney Tune's territory. So, you know, 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.240 Film Spotting family members they get that. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.080 Yeah, that's true. Though honestly, I don't mind Sam's fifth 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:13.280 choice so much. It's his fourth choice, and I'll tease 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.000 it a little bit and give a hint and say 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.040 that it's it's his choice of the best of a 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.280 certain franchise Tom Cruise that I think I think would 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:28.040 surprise he might surprise a lot of listeners. That's the 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.040 one that befuddled me. And you could find out what 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.000 we're talking about if you get to hear that entire draft. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.600 So you can hear that full draft all twenty picks 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.440 by becoming a member of the Film Spotting Family at 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.119 Filmspotting Family dot com. But we're gonna give you some 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:51.480 of those picks right now. What kind of a show 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:52.919 you guys putting on here today? 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.560 You're not interested in armed Now, Look, we're going to 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.120 do this thing. We're going to have a conversation. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.440 Everyone to Film Spotting Family Bonus content. October twenty twenty five. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.800 It is draft time we have with us. Josh Larson 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:15.320 coming to us from Scotland. How are you today, Josh. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.040 I'm living the dream. It's it's mid day for this recording, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440 rather than you know, end of the night, which is 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.880 what we've been doing lately. So unfortunately you guys are 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.880 taking the hit though, you early birds. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.440 I haven't even had my coffee yet. The earliest recording, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.480 I think, in Film Spotting history, I was going to 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.760 ask twenty plus years Sam, no show has been recorded 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.440 this early in the morning. How are you doing. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.440 I'm doing I'm doing great. This is probably ideal for 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.880 me too. I'm never so sharp as I am at 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.400 seven am. I have definitely had my coffee, I've walked 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.760 the dog. I was, I've been up since five thirty, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.680 so we're good. Let's do this. Oh my god, No, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.520 I'm I don't know how it's going to go. I'm 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.440 feeling very cruise. I'm up early. I didn't I didn't 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.560 couldn't do any push ups. 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.080 You're very wired. Yeah, I don't know how I'm going 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.120 to do. Of course, I of course didn't have all 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.560 my notes prepared, so not for the draft for our show, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.360 which which we're recording after. I have no notes for 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.960 the Cruise draft. And that means that I went to 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.880 bed on edge. I had to wake up extra early 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.120 to get prepared for the show, and that means that 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.160 it was just like when you have to catch an 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.880 early morning flight. I woke up around twice every hour. Yes, 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:29.479 I did not get any sleep. So you're collateral. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.920 Cruise mode is what we're gonna am. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.840 That's exactly, but you exactly get You get to pick first, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.039 so you shouldn't be that grouchy. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.159 I do. I do well let's let's welcome in our guests. Yeah, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.960 we we do have with us. Zach Cook. Are you 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.080 are you in Chicago or Chicago Land, Zach? 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.279 I am in Chicago. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:52.760 Wonderful, Okay, Okay, great, Zach. We are pleased, Zachah, We're 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.440 pleased to have you with us. Give family members a 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.479 little bit of background. How long have you been listening 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.400 to the show, maybe, how you got into the show, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:02.839 and how long have you been a family member? 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:04.440 Okay. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.920 I was introduced to the show by my wife back 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.440 in two thousand and eleven Medie Ballgame era, and I 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.400 have basically listened faithfully ever since. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.200 Amateur, very amateur film critic, but love the show. I've 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.240 been a proud Film Spotting Family plus member since. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:23.880 Twenty twenty three. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.239 It did occur to me like, when I was thinking 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.240 about this draft, I need something that I could actually 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.640 draft with you guys. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.040 Maybe wouldn't take that much advance preparation. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.400 Yes, and I thought you might appreciate that draft, Tom Cruise. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.440 We've all seen a lot of crew well, yeah, love it. 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.640 Yeah. You were randomly chosen from all the family members 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.520 who raised their hand and said, hey, I'd love to 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.279 be part of a draft and here you are. We 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.200 always go to our quiz master, Thomas Todd to decide 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.159 the draft order. I'm not sure I've ever won on 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.480 this before me once, but I'm not sure I've ever 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.800 picked first, and lo and behold this time. The question 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.880 was great, great Christian question question Thomas, of course cruise related. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.640 The question was the box contained, Oh, I'm sorry. The 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.719 question was I don't have the question in front of me, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.320 I have the answer in front of me. The question 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.839 was essentially how many toothpicks fell on the floor in 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.440 rain Man? How many toothpicks did did Raymond identify? Did 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.520 he count? Of course, without counting, he just knew how 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.960 many toothpicks were on the floor. He immediately calculated the 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.000 right number. We had to, of course, without looking it up. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.640 We had to remember from our many viewings of rain Man. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:50.360 We had to identify that number. And Zach, you said, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.640 eighty seven. You will be picking fourth, Zach. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.800 Zach, yes, I have, but not in a while. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 It's been a little while. Songs, I'm sure, Yeah, Sam, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.240 a little closer one hundred and eighty two, Josh, way closer, 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.000 two hundred and twenty five. You'll be picking second, Yeah, Sam, third, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.880 and I said two sixty two the correct answer. The 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.040 box contained two hundred and fifty tooth picks. There were 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.720 two hundred and forty six on the floor, four left 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.840 in the box. So Josh, we were we were off 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.080 by five. You were you were minus twenty one. I 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.720 was plus sixteen. Very narrow margin there. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.800 I'm somewhat shocked, and I want to ask, did you 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.160 know this or have an instinct of where to go immediately? 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.800 Did you sit and think about it for a while, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.120 because I can't explain this. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:45.320 It was. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.760 It came three seconds after I saw Thomas's question. And 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.760 I am not a rain man, like I think. I 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.080 saw it when it came out, and maybe once a 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.720 couple of years after that. So something mysterious was happening 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.440 that I managed to even get this close. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.320 I I did the same thing where I had an 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.000 immediate answer, like I could hear it in my head. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.000 Now it turns out I had the wrong number. It 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.880 was what I should have been hearing was forty six. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.880 You know, I could hear Dustin Hoffman in toning it. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.040 What I was hearing was. What I was hearing was 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.320 obviously more like sixty two and I think my first 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.960 answer was five hundred and sixty two, and that's what 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.400 I had in my head, and I was about to 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.080 answer that, and then then I realized, wait, there's not 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.760 going to be there's probably not going to be five 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.920 hundred toothpicks in a box. That seems high, you know, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.600 And so I went, I went two hundred and sixty two, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.120 and I just I could hear that in my head. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:38.319 Now. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.200 Of course again I was wrong, but I was close. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.640 Now when I looked it up after that, I got 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.000 very nervous because I thought Josh is gonna have no clue. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.160 I thought Josh would just have no like, there's no 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.560 way you would pull this from raining. You had no recollection, 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.040 you'd have no starting point. And so what I thought 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:58.720 you would do is is you would go back to 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:04.000 the speed of a spotting. You'd say two thirty seven, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:05.439 and you'd be four off. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.920 Oh man, if only my brain worked that way. No, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.480 I just I had my own instantaneous rain Man moment. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.720 A question I can say, impressive. Okay, so the way 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.040 we're going to do this, and we are, we're not 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.720 gonna rush, but we're under a little bit of a 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.880 time crunch because As we said, it's early in the morning. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.000 We all have things to do today, and we do 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.080 have an entire show to record after this, myself and Josh, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.040 A big one. We're just gonna, yeah, a big one. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.600 We're just gonna draft straight. We're not doing any special categories. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.400 We've done some drafts in the past where we've we've 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.600 aped the Ringer style where you had to pick a 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.079 blockbuster and a comedy and a drama or things like that, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.840 maybe cruise decades or something. No, straight up cruise films. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:56.319 We're going through them. We're doing five rounds, four of us, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:03.400 so twenty cruise films total. La Serpentine. There you go, Serpentine. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.560 The only stipulation, even though it almost surely would have 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.319 worked out this way anyway, is you can only pick 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.240 one mission impossible film. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:11.760 Fair. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.560 Yeah, I mean so we don't have the time to 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.720 get into it. But I resent the restrictions. I don't 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.880 know how Zach feels. What do you care if I 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.920 want five impossible Zach. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.920 Zach is the one who suggested it, and Sam and 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.640 I are on board. So you're out voted, Zach. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.520 Okay, Zach, you explain yourself then, why the rules just. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.680 We got to pick a broader range of Cruise films here. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.120 We can't here on Mission Impossibles. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.559 Okay, so you just you just wanted us to touch 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:45.200 on all different areas of his career just for interest's sake, variety, Josh, Okay, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.280 that's fine. Maybe I won't pick any problem is get 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:49.720 back at you. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.960 There's two great films and then it's a drop off 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.640 to Mission Impossibles. So really, I I just don't know 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.360 the best way to do this. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.640 But but Sam, we have to think about this in 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.040 the context of Cruise in those films, which I'm sure 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.560 will come up when impossible film. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:06.559 Are you picking it for the. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.760 Film or are you picking it because of Cruz's contribution particularly, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.480 And so I can't think that's the question. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:17.959 Well that is a great segue into my number one pick. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.120 And of course this is tough because I'm really bad 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.040 at math. With the Serpentine, I don't pick until what 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.320 pick eighth again, No, I think it's like pick eight 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.480 and then I get two back to back. But I'm 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.360 not gonna pick for a while. I don't think the 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.560 film I'm inclined to go with. I don't think it's 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.920 gonna get picked. I could be wrong. I don't know 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.280 what Zach's feelings are about this moviees it's what this movie. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.240 I don't know what his feelings are about this movie. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.960 I should say that's always the wild card when you 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.000 have guests on, but I can't imagine it would be 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.520 here back at eight And anyway, I just want to 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:58.040 go with my heart. I think there's a top tier 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.160 of three cruise movies, and it really comes down to 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.560 two for me that are my favorite, and those two 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.440 I'll go ahead and say it. It's no surprise. Sam, 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.720 you for sure could say it. I think Josh you 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:17.319 could to. Those two are Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut. Yeah, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:23.920 those are my two favorite films that Tom Cruise stars in, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.760 and what I've decided, both nineteen ninety nine films. So 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.720 this is a nineteen ninety nine cruise draft, Cruise Draft 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.120 Crew two Pete Cruise, And if if I was just 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.120 doing an incinerator pick between those two, I think I'd 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:43.560 go Magnolia. But this is a Tom Cruise draft, and 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:48.120 as good as I think Cruise is in Magnolia, Eyes 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:54.000 Wide Shut is more the cruise vehicle. I think that 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.360 he is obviously more essential to that Kubrick film than 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.920 he is as part of the ensemble in Magnolia, and 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.559 I think he is legitimately great as is Kidman in 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.760 Eyes Wide Shut. I think that was a crucial film 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:16.440 obviously for Cruz to cement himself as a legitimate I 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.280 think a lot of us probably felt that he was 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.920 he was a legitimate actor at that point, but we 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.439 knew that he could deliver as a serious actor once 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.160 we saw Eyes Wide Shut. And that is my number 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:28.560 one pick. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.960 I love it Eyes Wide Shut. Off the board, Okay, 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.000 I think this is going to work out well for 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.360 me just because of the particular approach that I'm taking, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.480 which might be a little different we'll see from Adam 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.000 and maybe for the other two of you. I think 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.160 Cruise is a very good actor, quite a good actor. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.120 I think he's an all time entertainer. So for a 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:53.000 list like this, I'm going with the performances that most 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.200 entertained me, and part of that is to distinguish from 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.920 the list we did Adam. I think this was twenty seventeen, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.319 maybe twenty eighteen, our top five Tom Cruise performances, where 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.800 I'll probably hopefully get one or two from that list, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.959 But I didn't want to mimic that, which was something 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.280 exactly what it says. This is him at his best 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:18.640 instead of best, however you might define that. I asked myself, Okay, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.440 I'm watching a Tom Cruise movie right now, what is 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.800 it going to be? Because I do think it's not 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.680 just that approach for me or for Mood. I do 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.520 think that's getting at sort of his essential quality as 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.080 one of the great movie stars. Now I say all that, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.360 and I'm going to waffle a bit with my first pick. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.760 I'm going to contradict myself here, but I think only 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:47.680 a little bit, because Jerry maguire is an extremely exhilaratingly 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.880 entertaining Tom Cruise movie. But also, and here's where I'm 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.240 contradicting myself, the reason it was my number one Tom 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.640 Cruise performance when we did that list is because I 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.000 do think it's his best. So it's combining those two qualities, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.200 and this cocky sports agent that you know, it leans 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.080 on his star persona incredibly punctures it just a bit. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.960 It's not a deconstruction entirely, but is doing something different 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.120 than maybe those earlier star turns or some other star 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.640 turns he would give later it's self aware, I would say, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.240 without being self sabotaging. And that's where the entertainment for 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.080 me comes in. So I'm gonna grab Jerry Maguire here 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:28.680 at the top. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.160 Love this, Love this. As soon as you went with 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.640 eyes White Shot, Adam, I knew the door was open 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.960 for Josh to make a massive blunder, and I just 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:37.400 love it. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:38.000 Thank you. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.080 I didn't think there was a chance I would get 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.480 it Magnolia. But but but I'm going to But I 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:50.440 will preface it by by saying that I wondered. This 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.880 will be a strange phrasing, but I think it's answering 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.560 maybe the question that that Josh just answered where it 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.160 occurred to me last night. I was like, is there 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.920 any good to great Cruise film where he's the best 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.640 thing about it? And there are some I realize. My 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.280 default was like, I'm not sure, because he's such a 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.400 delivery device for entertainment. I have totally bought into the 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.160 Cruise as last movie star narrative. I kind of love it, 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.000 and it's helped that there's been this great run of 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.960 Mission Impossible movies or good to great or good to 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.440 very good. I loved Cruse's sincerity about his work. I 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.840 love his work ethic. I love his emotional commitment, which 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.680 is which is different sometimes than acting, I think. But 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.520 I do think he's very good. He's very good at 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.200 being Tom Cruise. I like him. I like watching him 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.400 on screen almost every time. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.680 That's his best role. You're saying Tom Cruise, Yes, that's right, 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.240 he's very good at. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.920 So I will say it's like Cruse is maybe my 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.360 I don't know tenth favorite thing about Magnolia. He's very good, 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.280 so you know, using Josh's criteria, it's a bit of 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.920 a cheap, but it's like it's it's depending on the day, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:07.240 my favorite PTA or like my emotional response favorite PTA. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.280 I also wondered if I could maybe grab one battle 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.880 after another. Here for Cruise being invoked by Ben cl 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.639 del Toro as he tosses Leo out the window. But 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.000 if that's not fair, Yeah, I'm going to take Magnolia, no, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.359 no doubt. I didn't think there was a chance I 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.200 was going to get it. I'm thrilled. And I said 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:25.840 it because. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:26.920 You thought I would take it, for sure. 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.200 I thought you would take Josh. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:29.920 I didn't think Josh would take That's what I mean 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:30.600 I knew it's not. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.080 I thought you were going to take Magnolia, Adam, and 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.800 then I knew Josh would take Icewead shut. That's how 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.000 I thought it would go. But as soon as you didn't, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:42.720 the door was open. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.840 So there were right Zach, all right number four. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.679 So I had a little advantage at least with Adam 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.680 and Josh. You all have been somewhat on the. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.719 Record with some of your top five cruise performances, so 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.200 I was able to do a little research there, and 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.359 I agree these were the top three year oll. I 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.080 figured I probably was not going to get any of these, 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.359 but I'm actually happy drafting four and five because there's 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.119 still some really good stuff here that. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:10.360 I can pair it. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:15.000 You know, probably from a pure acting perspective, the role 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.080 I should be taking here would be ron Kovic born 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.160 on the fourth of July. But I have not seen 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.280 that movie in a long time. I have seen it, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.119 but I did not get a chance to catch up 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.080 with the homework to watch. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:28.600 The full movie. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.399 And I know, Adam and Josh you just did your 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.160 whole recollection. That feels like a movie that belongs to. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:34.600 One of you. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.159 Perhaps what I did get to do was from research 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.600 for this process, which was really thrilling. I went back. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.720 I said, I'm going to go for iconic Cruise roles. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.720 If I'm not going to get the absolute best, I'm 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.520 kind of competing with you, Josh. I'm going to get 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.160 the roles that just scream Tom Cruise and everyone thinks 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.040 Tom Cruise. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:58.720 That are also good performances. I love this movie, and 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.320 I can't believe I hadn't seen it. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.679 This was my breakthrough for going on this draft. I 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:12.280 finally sat down and I watched Risky Business, sad movie, 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:19.240 and frighteningly still crushed timely, forty plus years later. I 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.480 just blown away by how good this movie was and 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.000 how good Cruise is in it too. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.640 It's a perfect vestial for him. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.719 So I'm taking Risky Business and then I'll, you know, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.679 speed things up here. I'm going to pair that with 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:36.560 another iconic Cruise movie. I did a little market research 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:40.679 privately with my Facebook friends. He's actually a little contained 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.200 in that movie Risky Business, which is kind of great. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.760 So I want Unhinged Famous Cruise two. So I'm just 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.160 taking it while it's here. I'll take a few good 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:54.080 men as well to start rounding out my list. I'm 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.600 looking for the Cruise roles that I do like and 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.639 that are, as you say, just supremely entertaining. Maybe not 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.480 as best acting performances, but what we think of when 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:03.160 we think of Drews. 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:05.280 Yeah, definitely going to Cruise. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.280 We are going to be rivals. Zach, I didn't A 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.600 Few Good Men was lower on my board, but Risky 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.160 Business was one I really wanted also for the period 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.600 of his career. You know, just a movie where you 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.960 can see him becoming Tom Cruise before your very eyes. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.399 It is like, whoa, this guy is going to be enormous. 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.280 And as you said, I revisited it a couple of 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.080 years ago, and the whole film is incredibly solid. It's 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.439 not just like one of these breakouts where it's a 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.119 breakout because of the star at the center. It's a 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:43.000 really interesting movie doing provocative things that just happened to 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.480 birth Tom Cruise as we would come to know him. 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.119 Yep, h Sam, Josh. How about Zach's approach, He's like 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.840 that pick feels like it belongs to one of you guys. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.360 That's not how drafts are supposed to work. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:56.840 No, too nice, Zach, too nice? 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:03.520 Too nice? You're gonna lose. I finished, Josh, I gave it. 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:04.560 Then I take that's true. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.080 That's true, you take risky business. He was crushed just 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:07.840 so this could. 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.119 Get dicey between the two of us as things proceed. 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:15.080 Zach, you do get monthly bonus shows as one of 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.080 the benefits of joining the film Spotting Family. That was 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.720
