The 3 movies
Show notes
Put on your Ray-Bans and buckle up — this week we’re diving deep into the neon, sweat, and swagger of early Tom Cruise. Three eras, three egos, one impossible decision: which movie moves one step closer to our Tom Cruise Film Festival lineup? We break down Risky Business (1983), the film that made Cruise a star; Cocktail (1988), the glossy ode to ambition and regret; and Days of Thunder (1990), where Cruise takes his intensity to the racetrack. Along the way, we talk capitalism, charisma, and the best way to end a Tom Cruise movie. From sliding in your socks to racing toward the finish line, it’s a full throttle conversation about all things Cruise . Will Joel Goodson’s hustle, Brian Flanagan’s charm, or Cole Trickle’s need for speed take the win? Tune in to find out. ------------------------------------------------------------- email: openmicmovies@latertaterfilms.com website: openmicmovies.buzzsprout.com instagram: @latertaterfilms
