Tom Cruise swings for the fences in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s DIGGER. We dig into its mostly negative first wave of reviews and a rough box office start. We argue about whether a movie gets excused for being dumb on purpose, whether this is Cruise's best acting or just his most self-aware, and how it stacks up against Birdman, Bardo, and Babylon. We also get into the ending, our Oscar predictions, and where it lands on our year-end lists. SPOILER WARNING: spoiler-light until 18:10.

PRIMETIME is Lance Oppenheim's new A24 movie about Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator, and we've got our spoiler-free first reactions. Robert Pattinson is on a run right now, and this might be his best performance yet.In this quick review, we get into whether the To Catch a Predator hype is justified, Pattinson's performance, Skyler Gisondo's career-best turn, and Merritt Wever and Phoebe Bridgers.

We continue our "Mic on Fire" series covering the films of Denzel Washington with Alan J. Pakula's 1993 John Grisham adaptation, The Pelican Brief, co-starring Julia Roberts, Sam Shepard, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow. Special guest Harry returns, armed with a full watch-through of every single John Grisham movie adaptation. We talk Pakula's "paranoia trilogy" pedigree, why the plot takes 112 minutes to explain what the titular "pelican brief" actually is, Denzel and Julia's undeniable (and famously unconsummated) chemistry, Stanley Tucci's silent assassin, and how this stacks up against the rest of the Grisham Cinematic Universe.

We welcome first-time guest Kyle Flynn to continue our series "Mic on Fire," covering the films of Denzel Washington, and dive deep into Spike Lee's 1992 epic, MALCOLM X. We get into Denzel's prep for the role, Spike's fight to make it himself, how he blew through the studio's budget to actually shoot in Egypt, Terence Blanchard's score, and why this might be the most complete marriage of director, actor, and subject in movie history. Plus: our favorite scenes, the most iconic shots, and some outrage over the Oscar snubs.
