Endless Love

God.

Endless Love was the first episode, 2014.

God, there's pumping cheeks in that movie.

I'll never forget.

The book, um-

No, it is the Brooke Shields movie, Endless Love.

That was Tom Cruise's first on-screen appearance in a movie.

Tom Cruise was in Endless Love?

Yeah.

He and James Spader both made their film debuts in Endless Love.

I don't remember Tom Cruise.

But-

Thank you for listening.

This episode, what even is a flop? And if a flop happens to the biggest movie star alive, is it actually something else altogether? I'm talking about Tom Cruise and his newest movie, Digger.

It's got Tom in these crazy old man prosthetics.

You've probably seen the posters.

He's practically begging for the Academy's attention.

This movie is directed by Alejandro Iñárritu, a guy who knows how to win Oscars, and Digger got a full court press on all the marketing.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

We're in a tight spot.

But, you know, he was also in...

Endless Love.

Endless Love, Losing It, Far and Away, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July.

Like, he's not a hotshot all the time.

No, no, no, I know.

[laughs] I'm ex- I'm excited, I'm excited too, but m- mainly I'm excited because we're at a really interesting point in Tom Cruise's career, right? We do, like, a broad overview of the way that it's gone so far.

He, he starts out in the early '80s, has a couple of, like, little small roles that are always at the top of somebody's filmography, like Endless Love and Taps and Losing It, just movies that, movies that became meaningful when he became a star 'cause you're like, "Oh, he's in this for a couple of minutes."

Yeah.

Like, you know, like-

And like

a lot of these other movies like Class, the movie I mentioned with Rob Lowe and Andrew McCartney, Endless Love, the Brooke Shields movie.

Is that a Chicago movie? Oh, is it? It's a

suburbs meets the city movie.

There's a couple.

Sorry to the cruise heads out there if you think I'm a fake fan because I haven't seen Endless Love.

I'm sorry.

I'll get to it at some point.

He's got a lot.

All right, let's get into it.

Endless Love is the first on the list.

I've not seen it.
