In this episode, you had us at hello with the 1996 Cameron Crowe romantic dramatic comedy JERRY MAGUIRE.   We are joined once again by Matt Unsworth (Heist Podcast) and after touching on Crowe’s hot streak up to that point (3:11) and his fascination with becoming the next Billy Wilder (14:12), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how young Jonathan Lipnicki may have stolen the show (19:01). We talk about Cuba Gooding Jr’s Oscar winning performance (25:36), we debate whether or not Cush’s dad was a racist (31:58), and get into why the “had me at hello” scene holds up even better than we all remembered (37:52). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with whether or not Dorothy was too much of an idealized female character (48:41). Mike does the math on Jerry’s wild flight times (53:39), we break down why this movie is sometimes not as smart as it thinks it is (1:01:34), and Pops mounts a defense against the film’s attack on jazz (1:11:06).
