Description

This week, we honour the memory of a very good man as we reconvene to finally discuss a movie that had been in our on-deck circle well before this past week's tragedy -- a movie that fits very snuggly within our wheelhouse as a very Tom Cruise and When Harry Met Sally...-centric podcast, and we'll be up front about that because you can handle the truth. It's 1992's A Few Good Men, directed by Rob Reiner, written by Aaron Sorkin, and starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, J.T. Walsh, James Marshall, Wolfgang Bodison, Xander Berkeley, Noah Wyle, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Christopher Guest. Sorkin, adapting his own stage play, feels capable of keeping some of his most annoying lib tendencies in check than he is today (even if they do poke through in points), and Cruise and Nicholson both do a great job of making his dialog sound like they're coming out of the mouths of real people, which we know is no small feat. A great movie, and another example of Reiner's ability to play in any sandbox as a master of any genre he chose to take on, in this case a paranoid legal thriller. It's also been a minute since we last spoke, so we've got a lot of a theatrical field trips to report on, with reviews of Bugonia, Wake Up Dead Man!, The Running Man, Die My Love, Keeper, Predator: Badlands and Train Dreams.

If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, A Few Good Men is not currently streaming or rentable in Canada, but you can purchase it on Amazon and YouTube, or find a good copy on VHS at the thrift, just like Hayley did.

Other works discussed on this episode include LOST, Stranger Things, Best In Miniature, Materialists, Eddington, Freaky Tales, Glass Onion, Prey, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, and Freakier Friday.

We'll be back some time in the new year talking about lord knows what, but keep an eye on our Instragram for all the latest. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
