Wendy BellHOST
That's it.
Wendy BellHOST
And the more I think about that movie, The Firm, with Tom Cruise, the more I think that is a realistic representation of what it's like to arrive on Capitol Hill.
Wendy BellHOST
We're going to try to woo you with dazzling, beautiful women or drugs or what have you, money-making opportunities that aren't on the up-and-up.
Wendy BellHOST
And we'll let you do that, but do know that we're watching you.
SideyHOST
Dan, talk to us about The Firm.
SideyHOST
Okay.
SideyHOST

DanHOST
It's this running kind of theme going through it.
DanHOST
And he's teamed up with senior partner, Avery Toller, who's Gene Hackman.
DanHOST
And he's mentoring the firm on their strict culture of loyalty, confidentiality, high fees.
DanHOST
You don't get a lot of

genes
Teddy TutsonHOST
dominating the box office in 1993.
Teddy TutsonHOST
And then you've got The Fugitive and The Firm to round out your top three in 93.
Teddy TutsonHOST
So again, you've got an audience that is looking at these sort of thriller, almost procedural style things with The Fugitive and The Firm.
Teddy TutsonHOST
So it's not like something with the bones of fire in the sky feels out of place, but this specific... version of it not quite landing and then to round out your top five we've got Sleepless in Seattle followed by Mrs. Doubtfire

CherylHOST
His second book, The Firm.
DaveHOST
Oh, okay.
DaveHOST
Well, there you go.
CherylHOST
Exactly.
DaveHOST
That gives me hope.
CherylHOST
So The Firm was his second book and was a bestseller for 47 weeks and the seventh most successful novel of 1991.
CherylHOST
So obviously...
ScottGUEST
Yeah, he's not one of my favorite composers, but Sidney Pollack, the director, used him quite a bit.
ScottGUEST
I think he also did that movie, The Firm.
ScottGUEST
Sidney Pollack did that one, too.
ScottGUEST
That's another one he did, which I rather like, The Firm.
ScottGUEST
I haven't seen that in ages, though, but I remember really liking that.
ScottGUEST
I know I have the Blu-rays hanging around somewhere.
Dan WilburHOST
Come on.
Dan WilburHOST
I love The Firm.
Dan WilburHOST
mm-hmm the firm is good it's it's and it's an epic it's like we're two hours 38 minutes it's too long it's a little too long yeah i like those movies i was just picturing yes going back and if you're a woman now in 2026 wondering if a few good men passes the bechdel test and it's just right there in the title that they're like there's one woman in this she's talking to the men okay she's not but she's bringing the
Zach SimsHOST
heat
Dan WilburHOST
Oh, she's so good in it.
Gerald WW LynnHOST
But it was...
Gerald WW LynnHOST
Listeners, have you ever been the top law student in your class recruited by Wall Street and all the other big firms in the country? But the best offer you get is from a small mom and pop firm in Memphis who turns out to be the firm of the Chicago mafia.
Gerald WW LynnHOST
And now you are being threatened by the FBI and potentially being set up by your firm.
Gerald WW LynnHOST
I'm going to guess that that hasn't happened because that is the plot to the firm starring Tom Cruise, which is available to stream on Paramount.
Gerald WW LynnHOST
But good news, listeners, we don't need you to pass the bar.
Gerald WW LynnHOST
God knows Dia V never passes a bar.
Mike ScottHOST
Like he's one of those guys that's like in the background of various movies.
Mike ScottHOST
Like I think I saw him in The Firm not that long ago, the Tom Cruise movie.
CharlieHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike ScottHOST
So this is directed by James Wan.
