Minority Report (2002) - Spielberg Summer Slam!
Listen now
Description
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise finally team up to pre-cog the future of our real-life surveillance state with this ultra-paranoid sci-fi thriller from the GOAT of that exact sub-sub-genre, Philip K. Dick! Do all of the visual effects and fake-outs still hold up almost 20 years later after MINORITY REPORT blew up the 2002 summer blockbuster? Maybe not, but the ice-cold vision of a tomorrow without social media is fascinating and that murder's row of supporting performances from Max von Sydow, Samantha Morton, Colin Farrell (and his chewing gum), Tim Blake Nelson, Neal McDonough... Not to mention, Lois Smith goin' in for the kiss?! I'm giving away too much, just listen. It's a new mini-marathon, folks! This summer, we're gettin' in the ring with Steven for the SPIELBERG SUMMER SLAM! We're hitting up his incredible run of blockbusters from the genre-defining JAWS (1975) up through his hand-wave screen technology-introducing MINORITY REPORT (2002)! The NeverEnding Movie Marathon is a weekly podcastic celebration of cinema. Dive deep into fan-favorite films (#NoStinkers!), thematically curated to enhance your movie viewing by hosts Matt Detisch, Alex Logan, and Michael Rocco.
