Collateral

What's the title of this movie? Who decided to make it a comedy? Why isn't every movie as good as this one? 

Wilford Brimley is the big bad in this twisty legal thriller about a young hotshot lawyer who realizes his new job is a little too good to be true.  Hannah and Cameron talk Brimley, Hackman, movies about lawyers, and Holly Hunter's voice. 

Tom Cruise and Demi Moore need their friend Kevin Pollak and a conga line of 90s faces to solve the crime at the end of this Aaron Sorkin-penned Rob Reiner film. 

Hannah and Cameron talk Bryan Singer, German history, accents, British thesbians, and more in this episode. 

Hannah and Cameron discuss Michael Mann's 2004 film, Cruise's salt and pepper hair, Jamie Foxx as an actor, digital filmmaking, and more. 

Philip Seymour Hoffman smashing the backboard in minute one helps reinvigorate the Mission: Impossible rewatch for Hannah and Cameron, who talk through the JJ Abrams of it all in his feature film directing debut. 

Hannah and Cameron discuss Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 film and the extraordinary roster of young stars. 

Hannah and Cameron talk Martin Scorsese's only Tom Cruise movie, starring Academy Award-winner Paul Newman and nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. They talk Tom Cruise's earring, minimal vs maximal acting, Scorsese's eighties, and more. 

Hannah and Cameron talk about military commercials, Tony Scott, the legacy of homoerotic readings between Maverick and Iceman, Tim Robbins, Val Kilmer, and more. 

Hannah and Cameron discuss the most 2000 movie ever made, with a Mission: Impossible Theme cover by Limp Bizkit and lots of slow-motion doves provided by the Chinese auteur John Woo. Cruise does his best to have chemistry with his female counterpart, but, again, fails to deliver in what is turning out to be his most impossible mission.
