Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week we're donning our Ray-Bans, sliding across the living room floor, and revisiting the film that launched Tom Cruise into superstardom — Risky Business (1983). Equal parts coming-of-age comedy, satire, and cautionary tale, it's a movie that defined a certain brand of 80s cool while slyly critiquing the era's obsession with wealth and success.Directed by Paul Brickman, Risky Business follows Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise), a high-achieving Chicago high school student left home alone while his parents are away. Initially envisioning a week of harmless fun, things spiral after a night with call girl Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) leads Joel into a world of escalating consequences, entrepreneurial schemes, and moral compromises.What begins as a teenage fantasy of freedom and rebellion becomes a sharply observed journey into adulthood — and a satire of the “make it big” mentality that fuelled the 80s.While it has that glossy 80s comedy appeal, Risky Business is far smarter and more cynical than it first appears. It's one of those films that teenage audiences might take at face value as a tale of freedom and rebellion, but adults will recognise as a sharp social critique. That said, it's very much an R-rated outing — so maybe not one for family movie night.In the end, Risky Business is more than just a star-making turn for Tom Cruise. It's a stylish, clever, and surprisingly subversive look at ambition, temptation, and the thin line between opportunity and exploitation.

There's an alternate timeline where Katie Holmes never meets Tom Cruise and then, decades later, her filmography rivals those of her old Dawson's Creek co-stars - at least in quantity, and probably also in quality. As it is though, we live in the timeline where she's still mainly known as Joey Potter, despite winning the MTV Movie Award for 1998 Breakthrough Performance.

Send us a textOK everyone, time for a new theme again.  Speaking of time, we will be delving into films that play with time in unconventional ways such as time loops, alternate timelines or nonlinear narratives because our new theme is "Time is an Illusion".In addition to talking about time, relativity, quantum physics, car accidents, Ozzy Osbourne, Jaws and Iceland we will be watching a film that fits our new theme along with the first shake-up: "Must be set in a war-zone".  That film is "Edge of Tomorrow", the 2014 sci-fi time travel/loop action adventure starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton.  Cruise portrays a man fighting in a war against aliens who must relive the same day every time he dies until he can find a way to stop their power source with the help of an elite soldier.

Few actors kick off their careers with productions as big as the opportunities Hermione Corfield secured early on. One of her first feature film credits is Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation in which she shares a key scene with Tom Cruise, and soon after came xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. After that, it was the indie crime thriller Rust Creek which earned Corfield a couple of film festivals honors, and then it was the movie that quite firmly solidified her as a must-follow actor for yours truly, the eco-horror movie Sea Fever in which she stars opposite Connie Nielsen and Dougray Scott. Ever since our TIFF 2019 chat for that film, Corfield's been a prime target for Collider Ladies Night and now, with the debut of the Outlander prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, the time has finally come.The new Starz show puts the spotlight on Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Beauchamp's (Caitríona Balfe) parents. For Jamie, it's Jamie Roy's Brian Fraser and Harriet Slater's Ellen MacKenzie, and Claire's parents, Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston, are played by Jeremy Irvine and Corfield. Whereas Brian and Ellen's romance starts and remains in the same time period, Henry and Julia experience a significant upheaval when, similar to their daughter, they travel from 1917 to 1714, crossing paths with Brian and Ellen.Soon after a brief chat with Corfield and much of the main ensemble at San Diego Comic-Con, Corfield swung by the Collider Ladies Night studio for an extended conversation about the first two episodes of Season 1, and to offer up a few teases of what's to come.

Eyes Wide Shut is on trial this week. Does it rise to the occasion or is it a complete flop? Alex argues that Stanley Kubrick's last film is a gripping exploration of sexual desire and fantasy, with strong lead performances and an unnerving plot making this a hit.

All this with an impression of a busy Tom Cruise and a quiz all about the legendary Stanley Kubrick. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/273 Special Guest: Mike.

It's our final entry in our 'That's a comic book movie?!?' series! And we're taking a look at an entry that's barely an entry, 2013's Oblivion. This is the first pairing of Tom Cruise and Joseph Kosinski who'd later reteam in the much more successful Top Gun: Maverick in 2022. Set in the apocalyptic future of 2077, there's a big triangle in the sky telling Tom Cruise what to do which you'd think would be fine but it might be bad actually.

I feel like this would be a good plotline for a gonzo Mission Impossible movie: make romcoms and comedy dramas relevant again. In one sentence, my guest, director and podcaster Charles Hood, declared “comedies and comedy dramas are dead, sadly” but also came back in the next few sentences with the announcement, I'm releasing a romcom feature later this year. This sounds exactly like a challenge, if you choose to accept it, for one of the co-hosts of the official Mission Impossible podcast. And here's to thinking he'll be successful. In this episode, Charles and I talk about:His journey to hosting the unofficial — and then the official — Mission Impossible podcast, “Light The Fuse”;Why more filmmakers aren't podcasting and what it takes to be successful in the medium;How he got his start in filmmaking;Should you make a microbudget feature like Charles' first film, FREEZER BURN (2007), or a great short film?How he found himself in the comedy-drama romcom space;The ten year anniversary of NIGHT OWLS (2015), his reflections on the film, and his focus on screenplay structure going into making the film; His work at go90, a Verizon “mobile-oriented social entertainment platform” (who knew about that?!);The value of structured, well written script;Whether the official MI podcast helped him get “above the noise”;When we should expect his next project, THERE SHE GOESHow the vote of actors participating in an indie film project is so important.Charlie's Indie Film Highlight: Josh Greenbaum; GHOST BOY (2025) dir. by Rodney Ascher; THE NIGHTMARE (2015) dir. by Rodney Ascher; A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX (2021) dir. by Rodney AscherMemorable Quotes:“ We always talk to everybody about Tom Cruise's hairstyle, their favorite haircut from the different movies. And we also would jokingly talk about how we're in a golden age of dog cinema because there were a lot of dog movies that have come out in the last 10 years.”“ If you're gonna do a big short with a real budget, you might as well try to figure out how to squeeze that budget into a feature and do a feature.”“Comedies and comedy dramas are dead, sadly.”“ Actually if you make a romantic comedy, you get to sneak in a lot of character work that you wouldn't get to do in a lot of other genres.”“We learned a lot over those years, writing studio comedies and learning structure and that applied to this movie that is mainly just two people talking.”“So I'm still chasing that feeling again of making NIGHT OWLS.”“They always say that, you have to know the rules before you can break them. And I was breaking them on FREEZER BURN without knowing them.”“What Tome Cruise is all about is….serving the audience.”Links:Follow Charles On InstagramWatch Indie Film Highlight: NIGHT OWLS (2015)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Here at TSHE we're all sweetness and light, and we would never dream of complaining about anything, but the recent weather has been making us miserably out of sorts. So, the Coven is reconvening to talk about the different seasons (but mostly to grouse about how much summer sucks). In theory, it should be a wonderful time full of warmth, outdoor activities, and breaks from regular life, but the reality of summer is more about uncomfortable heat, bugs, and the absence of childhood freedom. Along the way, we detour into conversations about Tom Cruise's “weird situation,” various mythologies of the world, and the perils of plastic surgery.TSHE Recommends: Great Greek MythsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Synopsis The Others stars Nicole Kidman and her two children finding herself trapped in a bizarre and perplexing marriage to Tom Cruise. Oh wait, that's just her real life at the time. In The Others she plays Grace a widow in post WWII Jersey living in a mansion with her two photosensitive children Anne and Nicolas. When three workers show up on her doorstep, she hires them as servants to help take care of the children and the estate to replace her previous staff that recently walked off the job. Soon after they are hired strange occurrences start happening and unexplained sounds start emanating from empty rooms. Could it be ghosts? Are her children messing with her? Are the servants trying to drive her mad? Are scientologists trying to silence her? You'll have to watch the whole twisty turny movie to find out. Review of The Others Drawing heavy inspiration from the Turn of the Screw, this is a really well constructed supernatural film that has more than one trick up it's sleeve for the audience. Nicole Kidman's performance and the up tied and high strung Grace is what ties all the tension together. The haunted house genre is well trod territory, and this film explores all of the tropes associated with it adeptly and convincingly. It's well paced, doling out little clues about the multiple mysteries surrounding the characters, their motivations, and the occurrences in the house. There's enough revelations and twists and turns that it really does string the audience along until the last 15 mins or so before everything is revealed. This is my second full viewing since I watched it in the theater in 2001, and it's one of those films that is as enjoyable the second time if you know the ending. I don't remember being blown away at the time, since it felt like it was riding off the coattails of the surprise blockbuster The Sixth Sense released two years earlier. However now, I can recognize the masterful craftsmanship of Alejandro Amenábar's script and direction.  It's an exceptional example of gothic horror, exploring the darker aspects of life and death, maintaining an oppressive and claustrophobic atmosphere, and leaning heavily on suspense and mystery. Score 10/10
