A Few Good Men feat. @marisatomay
🕑 Added 2023-05-05 17:07:06 +0000 UTCAaron is joined by leading Internet Cruiseologist @marisatomay aka Amanda to discuss 'A Few Good Men'. It's a well-crafted middlebrow entertainment elevated by powerhouse performances from Hit Factory fave Tom Cruise & veteran star Jack Nicholson delivering some of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's least-irksome dialogue.
Amanda & Aaron discuss Tom Cruise's star-power in the early 90s and how he routinely pitted himself against Hollywood greats in order to rise to the occasion. We also discuss Aaron Sorkin as creator - his many sins, his strengths, and the frustrating evolution (or lack therof) of his political perspective. Finally, we discuss the future of Tom's career and how the next few years offer a compelling freedom of possibility for the first time in decades.
