TFG1Mike and MovieRevolt Dan revisit the 1996 sports film that defined a decade of pop culture. They discuss Tom Cruise's career arc, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Oscar-winning performance, the film's balance of sports drama and romance, its critical acclaim, and why it remains a quality film despite being frequently dismissed as just a romantic comedy.

96 we are going to be talking about Jerry motherfucking

McGuire Oh boy, did you see this in theaters?

I did not. I did not see this in theaters. I

honestly don't remember. I think the first time

I saw it, it was on TV. Or it was VHS or DVD.

I don't even know if they had DVDs in 97. I think

they did, but I don't remember. But no, I did

not see this in theaters, but I remember hearing

a lot about it not just because of who's the

main star but just because of the lines the quotes,

you know all this and all that plus that 1995

Bruce Springsteen song that got popular two years

later Yeah, this movie really seeped into pop

culture big time. Yeah, it was this It's every

it was everywhere and it is everywhere today

too. Sometimes if you search it out Yeah, I mean

there are so many quotes in this set have kind

of Popped into the lexicon of today Just show

me the money was everywhere. There was people

making jokes. I mean, I remember there were shows

that took that and there was like a crappy knock

off of Americans funny and some videos called

show me the funny there's like all these really

bad it it led to a lot of bad jokes unfortunately,

but yeah, and especially you know the Young kid

Lipnicki here in the film. He was he was everywhere

too. He was like the golden child He was almost

like a new Macaulay Culkin in a way Much younger,

but yes, you're right But you know, when I saw

this movie then and when I saw it now, I still

love it. I mean, you know, we'll let JT give

the plot and the just the facts and all that

stuff here in a minute, but if people bag on

this movie in its entirety, let me know because...

Well, I can see certain people having issues

with it. It's not that like It's no eyes wide

shut or it's no vanilla. It's not Tom Chris's

worst film I Know I mean it definitely gets sappy

at times. But yeah overall I think the The overall

opinion towards Jerry Maguire is relatively really

positive especially for sports fans because of

just it was a sports movie that was had little

sports in it in a way, but it was it kind of

showed you that the you know, the backstaging

of sports and how How much time has changed over

the time like during the early 90s, you know

agents sports agents they weren't well known

to the public but today sports agents are just

as popular as Sport stars and it could be because

of Jerry Maguire, but I think overall most people

have a positive feeling There might be some people

who don't we don't like Tom Cruise or just think

it's this romantic comedy and leave it at that

but from From when I personally am right with

you, and I think it's a really solid film Yeah,

I mean it is and you know of course as you said

it's it's basically You know testament to what

was going on in sports in the nineties and it

also has this this romantic angle in the back

like the sports thing obviously is the upfront

because it's it's the business it's the business

that he and and sugar and all those people are

in and he has this epiphany and he writes his

mission statement and all that and just I guess

the shit just hit the fan So we're gonna send

it on over to JT for Just the Facts, Jerry Maguire.

Jerry Maguire is the man when it comes to being

a sports agent. Enthusiastic and a hell of a

negotiator, Jerry has the right moves and the

right words to get things done. However, a career

spent doing whatever it takes to satisfy the

demands of his clients and his superiors at Sports

Management International have left Jerry with

a ton of stress and a guilty conscience which

comes to bite him in the ass in the form of a

nervous breakdown. After coming back to work,

Jerry writes a mission statement about how others

in the business should take a longer view of

their clients' careers instead of short -term

gains as a means of cleansing his conscience.

He hands out the memo to his friends and co -workers

at SMI who in turn applaud his honesty and clear

view of things, but his words also have the opposite

effect on the higher -ups who have Bob Sugar,

Jerry's apprentice, show him the door. His friends

suddenly forget all about Jerry and race to sign

as many of Jerry's clients as possible, the only

client not signed back to SMI is Arizona Cardinal's

wide receiver Rod Tidwell, who is unhappy with

his current contract. Through a long and somewhat

comically drawn -out phone call, Rod takes a

measure of Jerry's dedication to his client and

agrees to sign with him again, ending in the

infamous Show Me the Money scene. Jerry is also

successful in retaining college quarterback Frank

Cush Cushman, who's expected to be the number

one draft pick in the upcoming NFL draft after

visiting the young man at his family home. Jerry

leaves the office announcing he's going to open

his own sports agency and invites all who want

to join in to leave as well. Out of the whole

office, only secretary and single mom Dorothy

Boyd decides to leave with Jerry and she also

just happens to be in love with him. Jerry then

travels to the NFL Draft with both Kush and Rod,

who took some major convincing to join. The older

Rod doesn't have a good time feeling outshined

by the younger player. Jerry takes him aside

in the lobby and assures him that the one client

is just as important as the other. Too bad he

didn't also see keep your eyes on the prize because

while he's talking to Rod, the Weasley sugar

makes his move and fast talks Kush's dad Matt

into re -signing with SMI and cutting Jerry out.

It also doesn't help that the father, and possibly

Kush himself, is a bit racist when the elder

Kushman notes that Jerry was speaking to that

black fellow. When Jerry goes to Kush's hotel

room and sees what has happened, he is devastated

and seeks comfort from his fiance, Avery. But

she proves to be just two steps short of being

a gold digger, as when Jerry tells her he's lost

Kush and thus his bank account, Avery angrily

breaks up with him, slapping him and kicking

him in the pills before leaving the hotel room.

Comfort comes in the form of Dorothy, who helps

Jerry get back on his feet. As they work with

Rod and try to keep him happy, they fall in love

and eventually spend the night together. The

relationship with Dorothy and her young son Ray,

who quickly bonds with Jerry, proves to be just

what he needed to get his head back in the game.

But it's also revealed that Dorothy is thinking

of moving to San Diego for a real job, because

the money isn't exactly rolling in. Over the

next few months, Jerry dedicates as much time

as possible to both his professional responsibilities

with Rod and the new family he has with Dorothy

and Ray. Jerry's relationship with Rod, while

at first totally agent to player business -like,

starts to become more personal. Rod argues with

Jerry about how he doesn't think the agent is

working hard enough to get him what he wants,

that being finishing his career with the Cardinals.

Jerry accuses Rod of not working hard enough

to deserve the deal he's asking for. And upon

discovering that Dorothy had planned on moving

to San Diego for another job, Jerry proposes

to her and they are soon married. Unfortunately,

the marriage doesn't last as Jerry's work with

Rod leaves him emotionally cold and distant,

causing Dorothy to leave when she comes to think

that Jerry doesn't love her or Ray anymore. A

short time later, before a Monday night game

between the Cards and the Cowboys, Sugar attempts

to steal Rod away from Jerry. However, each man

comes to realize how much the other means to

them and they both tell Sugar to take a hike,

reconciling soon after. However, during the game

Rod suffers a huge hit from one of the Cowboys

offensive line and lands on his head hard. And

for a few moments it appears as if he's done

for, but he comes to and even dances for the

crowd who loudly cheer him on. Jerry and Rod

embrace each other afterwards, showing players

and agents alike that what Jerry talked about

in his memo is possible after all. Jerry then

flies home and goes to speak to Dorothy, who

is with her friends. He barges in and confesses

his love for her, making one of the most heartfelt

pleas in movie history. Dorothy, overcome with

emotion, takes Jerry back with just five simple

words. After reaffirming his love for Dorothy,

Jerry then quickly secures a deal with the Cardinals

for Rod, and while he is being interviewed on

the Roy Firestone sports show, Rod is informed

that his new contract has come through a four

-year deal worth $11 million, which will also

allow him to finish his football career with

the Cardinals. Overcome with emotion, Rod thanks

everyone, especially Jerry, for all his hard

work. The film ends with the McGuire family walking

through a park near a little league game. The

ball lands near them, and Ray throws it back

to the players, causing Jerry to comment on his

natural athletic ability, and Dorothy having

none of it. Jerry Maguire opened in theatres

during the Christmas of 1996 to a ton of positive

reviews and critical success. Headlined by Tom

Cruise and Renee Zellweger, the cast also included

Cuba Gooding Jr., Jay Moore, Beau Bridges, Jerry

O 'Connell, Kelly Preston, and young Jonathan

Lipnicki in one of his first on -screen roles.

The film was well loved by critics, many of which

cited the script by Cameron Crowe, who also directed

the film to be a major factor. Todd McCarthy

of Variety magazine said the film was smartly

written and had a sensational cast, not the least

of which was Tom Cruise, whom McCarthy said gave

one of his best performances in this film. And

Rita Kempley of the Washington Post commented

on how Cruise seemed to have grown as much as

his character, who brings gentleness, warmth,

and light -heartedness to his role, qualities

we haven't seen since he played air guitar in

Risky Business. And despite commenting on how

the plot was seemingly too full of subplots,

Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, concluding

that the film was a delight. And because of all

this goodwill, the film currently holds an 85

% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes .com. Now as

I mentioned earlier, Cameron Crowe wrote the

script, which includes a character named Ethan

Valheer, played by Eric Stoltz, who also played

a guy named Valheer in Say Anything, which was

also written by Cameron Crowe. This leads fans

to believe that Jerry Maguire is in the same

cinematic universe as Lloyd Dobler and his ghetto

blaster. And unlike other movies where there

are many choices for the male lead, the role

of Dorothy had 11 different actresses attached

to it. These include Parker Posey, Marisa Tomei,

Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Patricia Arquette,

Nicole Kidman, Molly Ringwald, Uma Thurman, Winona

Ryder, Mira Servino, and Courtney Love. Which

is kind of a cool coincidence, because the song

playing when Jerry goes back to Kush's hotel

room on the night of the draft was Something

in the Way by Nirvana. And did you know that

the film is somewhat based on the life of sports

agent Lee Steinbert? He even cameos in the film

as the man who introduces Cruz to Troy Aikman

during the interview near the end of the film.

Now, I am not one who usually gravitates towards

dramatic movies. I am just not wired that way.

but I gave this film a chance based mainly on

my love for Tom Cruise films and I was not disappointed.

The movie really gets to me every time I watch

it. All the highs and lows from sugar snatching

away Kush at the draft to Rod's recovery during

the game to Jerry's impassioned plea for another

chance from Dorothy. Every time I watch the movie

it feels like the first time. It's rare when

a movie can do that for me. This has been Just

the Facts for Jerry Maguire. I'm JT from Saskatoon,

and now I'll be sending you back to the rest

of the guys on M -Wire. Later. Thank you once

again, JT, for the awesome Just the Facts and

all that information. Yeah, I mean, I know we

normally talk about the cast first and everything

else, but the plot of the movie isn't... It isn't

as bad as... Like, I hadn't seen this in years.

It's... It's probably been seven, eight years

since I had seen this. And how I saw it was,

again, kind of like almost the first time I saw

it. I caught it on AMC at like 11 o 'clock in

the morning a couple of weeks ago. I don't know

why AMC was running Jerry Maguire at 11 o 'clock

in the morning during the week. I have no clue.

But I caught it and I was like, oh yeah, hey,

if we could have recorded that episode, I guess

I should sit here and watch this. My guess is

they're probably rerunning it because it's Oscar

time and they're usually rerunning past Oscar

nominees and not Oscar winners. Probably. Yeah,

probably. I don't know. I mean, of course, outside

of their original programming -like freaking

zombie show and... All that stuff, you know AMC

is American movie classics and I guess If you

look at it in the decade that it was in and by

the time we're where we are now I guess 90s some

90s films can be considered classics In in that

span of oh, yeah the 90s, I guess I'm not saying

like I'm not saying Jerry Maguire is like the

next gone with the wind obviously it's not but

As time goes on the 90s kind of turns into kind

of like what the what the 30s and 40s were You

know what I mean as far as like films being able

to say that they're classics Yeah, I mean just

the films that were kind of mediocre and not

very good or become forgotten and those that

were quality movies tend to say the test of time

and are going to be played again and again on

cable television. I mean, very rarely. I mean,

occasionally there'll be old films that aren't

very good that are played, but most likely if

you're going to be played on AMC or one of the

higher networks, there's a reason for it. And

usually there's a following or you have a really

high quality movie. And I mean, when you think

of it, the nineties are 20 years ago almost I

mean this is almost in a few years this will

be 20 years old which seems crazy makes me feel

really old but makes you feel really old you

know but what did you what did you think of the

actual plot of the film the plot of the movie

it as I said before it's all about the business

at first because you know he you know we get

this behind the scenes look of what a sports

agent does Now sports you know agents in general

They have to go after the best deal the best

roles the best whatever for their client whether

it's sports whether it's Acting voice that will

music whatever they have to you know Do the best

for their client because the client is obvious

obviously they get a percentage of the clients

What however however agents get paid they get

it's not it's not hourly But they get a certain

like and the way I look at it. It's kind of like

a lawyer he they get a certain percentage of

a settlement or a win or whatever so You know

at first it's all business and then You know

the hockey players kid just says fuck you to

McGuire and he just goes off and says, what does

this business become? And I like that because

he's, it's almost like he's having a early to

midlife crisis, but not really. He's just looking

at his life and saying, what is, this isn't what

I wanted to become. Yeah. He's trying to define

what success is. And in a way, yes, he's very

successful in his job, but what does that cost

him morally? And what has that really led to?

And what is that costing him in his personal

life too? Cause you look at that, at that bachelor

tape and oh my God. Yeah. I mean the plot, like

we mentioned that the surface plot is that agent

story, but the overall plot's right in the title.

It's Jerry Maguire. This is the character. It's

about him. It's about the character. It's about

how he wants to proceed through life. Exactly.

And he writes this amazing. I love that whole

scene. I honestly do, I honestly do, I can't

see Tom Cruise sitting at a computer in the middle

of the night just typing away like that, but

I just, I love that whole scene where he writes

this up, he has this idea, he has this epiphany,

he goes out and makes god knows how many copies

puts, and this was at a time where And I know

nowadays, especially with the internet and stuff,

self -publishing is the rage now where you can

do it online. But back then, you had to do it

the way he did it. And granted, it's not something

that, you know, it's not a publication to where,

oh my god, this is going to be on the next Barnes

and Noble. But he did what probably most, I would

say, amateur writers would do, write it up, print

it out. Take it to a kinkos or an all -night

whatever FedEx cut whatever get a copy get a

you know get a Jacket and all that stuff on the

thing and everything else and then he goes And

then the crisis of conscience on his part with

holy shit, why did I give this to everybody?

Yeah, his his benefit is one of those things

where you and the moment it feels all right And

you kind of get caught up in it and you're thinking

all this is really gonna lead to something You

don't even know what but then as you see the

realization of what he did Starts to kind of

seep in and you realize this well, this is gonna

this is not gonna lead to good things But maybe

it will lead to certain good things. Obviously,

he means he's probably losing his job. He realizes

that you're probably hoping it doesn't but we

see Right when he walks in, everyone's clapping.

They're like, how long do you give him? Like,

give him a week. Because I know this is he wrote

his own death sentence. It's just obituary to

being a sports agent with this company. It's

his manifesto. But that manifesto is going to

piss off pretty much everyone he works with.

So and it's a really cutthroat business, as you

see, and kind of gets into that really deeply.

And I think that scene, like you mentioned, that

you liked a lot. I think it comes in. One reason

it's really effective is when you have a director

like Cameron Crowe, who is a very great writer

and that's what he really strives at. Obviously

he was able to, you know, lend that experience

to Tom Cruise in that moment. So it really worked

well. Oh yeah, it did. It very much did. I can't

believe Kelly Preston is the bitch in this. Oh

my god. She is just so cold and calculating.

Yeah. Avery Yeah, she is not very likable and

she gets a really great some really great punches

it on brush on Tom Cruise I mean he gets oh,

yeah, I highly doubt those were film Punches

where you know, they're pulled and there's just

no she She I bet she really did hit him. And

of course back then He was what maybe 15 16 years

into his career Well, yeah about that. I mean

actually this was was kind of crazy This was

this he was on a high because this was his fifth

film in a row That that gained over a hundred

million dollars, which was a record at the time

It may still be but he was riding high. It was

one of his biggest Like he kind of could do not

wrong, but he kind of started in the early. I

mean his movie career, I guess Depends on what

you say kind of broke him because he but I guess

if you go back to where he started the big thing

I think most people remember him from Trying

to think when did I mean do you obviously have

Risky business that was probably the biggest

film that kind of broke him and then Rain Man

and Top Gun and all those great 80s films Yeah,

I mean he's got Mean the outsiders possibly maybe

he wasn't it that that apps. Yeah apps as well.

Yeah But I mean he had like From 81 to 85 81

83 and 85 those three years He had a movie. He

had like one two. He had four movies in 1983

281 185 and then 86 88 a couple and you know,

so I mean it's one of those things where the

dude was just everywhere and By the time you

get down to Maguire That same year he launched

mission and he relaunched mission impossible

You know, I know I know a lot of people like

interview with the vampire I don't even before

I heard about the sparkly version. I didn't care

about vampires as a 14 year old But I mean I

I don't know what has somewhere between 96 and

99 he just Like once eyes wide shut came out.

I was like, what the heck did you do Tom? That

was a little crazy. I Think he I think he kind

of he got some notoriety as an actor. So he thought

he'd take some Chances, I mean eyes wide shut

I understand why he would do that movie being

Stanley Kubrick It's doing it was his wife at

the time Nicole Kinman But so I can understand

what he was trying to do He was also in Magnolia,

which I think is one of his best performances

that he's he's excellent But yeah, he I mean

eyes wide shut was mostly a disappointment Magnolia

is a smaller movie. So I think what happened

was he had a lot of He was coming off an Oscar

nomination, his second Oscar nomination, so perhaps

he was kind of done with the blockbusters and

wanted to do something different. But shortly

thereafter, he did Mission Impossible 2, and

then Vanilla Sky, which is another disappointment.

But I always remembered him having a really,

like, lackluster career after 96, but overall,

I mean, Mission Impossible 2 was a huge hit.

That was only a few years later, Minoral Report,

Last Samurai. The thing about Cruz after 96 is

not counting the Mission Impossible movies. He's

gone out of his way to find roles that people

wouldn't expect him to be in, like The Last Samurai.

Like, collateral, he was creepy as all hell in

that movie. Yeah. My God. Like, I didn't, like,

I knew it was him, but the white hair and he

looked like he was 50 years older than what he

actually was at the time in 2004. it was just

so creepy and he like I said outside of the whole

action thing and maybe outside of like Tropic

Thunder he's pretty much gone to the point of

what is the most unique role that people won't

see me as whatever like won't see me as Maverick

or won't see me as Brian from Cocktail or won't

see me as Ethan Hunt You know you take a look

at I think he's kind of I think he's kind of

like not to Not to be ironic here, but he think

I think he's kind of reaching with Jack Reacher

Because from what I've seen and I'm not judging

the movie I'm just saying that from what I've

seen of the trailers. It looks like it's some

sort of spy movie I haven't read up on it. I

think he's kind of reaching with that because

of the whole He has the Mission Impossible franchise

to deal with? I've seen Jack Reacher. It's not

really a spy film. It's more of a crime novel.

He plays an ex. He worked for kind of the NCIS

type of organization for the military, but he's

retired. And then he comes in to kind of help

this case with a sniper. But I think we're...

Reaching in that film not so much with the movies

that that book character was supposed to be this

like really kind of grisly Man and it was kind

of like brooding and that's not really Tom Cruise

I think he tried to do it in Jack Reacher, which

I think is an okay movie, but I don't think he

but he was really a Great choice for that role.

I don't think you really fit him really well

And then like 2012 wasn't really great this year

because he was also in Rock of Ages. And I think

he had a fun performance, but that movie overall

was kind of at best. So I think what he does

a lot is he does a movie for the studios and

he does a movie for himself. He does something

he thinks will be successful financially and

I'll do something smaller and take a bigger chance.

He'll do a night and day and then do a Valkyrie.

He'll do Mission Impossible 3, then do Alliance

for Lambs and play a smaller role. It's almost

like Steven Soderbergh is the director people

know for doing. He does one for the studio, then

he does one for himself. I think Tom Cruise is

the same way as an actor. The next thing he's

got coming up this year is Oblivion. I saw the

trailer for this and I didn't know what to like...

I've never really been into 1970s science fiction

films. Obviously I was born 10 years too late.

But it stars him and the chick from Quantum of

Boredom. Yeah. Curly whatever the hell her name

is. Yeah, I'm sure she wishes she could get that

off her resume. But that's what what he's got

coming up next in the next year according to

Wikipedia all you need is kill so There have

been reports that he wants to do a fifth mission

impossible movie Apparently Brad Bird said that

he probably wouldn't return to directing but

I'm sure they can find someone to the mission

impossible anyone would Honestly, who directed

the second one? Oh, it wasn't Ang Lee, it was

John Woo. I would like to see another John Woo

mission impossible. I'd rather not, I wasn't

a huge fan of that one. You might actually like

Oblivion because it's directed by the guy who

did Tron Legacy, so there's a nice connection

there for you. Cool, cool. So that's Tom Cruise.

You know, his character is, it's not a one -dimensional

character. It's very faceted with Jerry Maguire,

and it's very, very interesting. And then the

complete opposite of that is the one guy that

sticks with him, Rod Didwell, Cuba Gooding Jr.

Yes, the role that... Made his career. I don't

know if I don't know question more. Yeah question

mark. Yeah. Well before that people would have

Remembered actually Wow, I did not know this

He and Tom had starred in a film before a few

good men Corporal Carl Hamaker from a few good

men in 92 Yeah, and he was also in voice the

hood which Which was pretty good, but he I think

he just had a small role in a few good men, but

And then losing Isaiah in 95 before Jerry. Yeah,

I would say that Jerry Maguire probably was his

breakout as far as like a starring role Yeah,

I mean he everyone it won him the Oscar he a

lot of people expected big things and unfortunately

He when people look at people who have won Oscars

and haven't done much with them. He's usually

the top on that list He's been in a few things.

But overall he's been a lot of duds snow dogs

Men of honor, you know just bad movie. I was

a dud financial like financially financially,

okay Again like boat trip a radio which was I

think overall okay, but it was not success I

thought it would be It's kind of if you watch

Tropic Thunder this you know He kind of went

full retard with that as they say in that movie

But he he's had a few things here and there like

he was an American gangster that he did a good

job in that Yeah, I like that movie He was one

of the few things I thought a few good things.

I thought about red tails I liked his performance

in that for that film which I thought was overall

not successful, but Well, you know, I didn't

have lightsabers and stuff so Yeah, it's been

surprisingly But he's got Like a lot of these

like since we've been going back into the 90s

and looking at a lot of these movies and the

ones that we have looked at and looking at a

lot of these actors and kind of going in this

kind of almost a new format for him wire just

kind of going over what they've been in it surprises

me that some of these people Are still doing

as much as they like he's get he had four films

last year according to this he's got four films

coming up this year and then one obviously one

for next year, but He's got an amazing filmography

yes, I do agree that he does have a lot of duds

in there as well But I mean he's a he's a decent

actor. I I do feel though because of how popular

the character of Tidwell became because of show

me the money and You know, you can't shoplift

the poon because all that and and everything

else I believe he has been slightly typecasted

Simply because of Just that role. I mean that

role is like that's one of those roles where

it's so memorable. That's all you can see him

in and then you like watch snow dogs or you watch

you know something like that yeah it's almost

like they thought he might be like like the new

eddie murphy but in a way just like the new comedic

star they would go to just never really worked

out i think but uh who knows i mean he could

turn it around looking at his films like i forget

there are a few good movies in there just i guess

those dutch are so bad that they overshadow anything

good almost And then we move down to Bridget

Jones, or I'm sorry, Renee Zoelliger. The funny

thing is, it was after I saw Jerry Maguire, I

saw another film and I was shocked that she was

in it. 1995's Empire Records as Gina. I was like,

oh my God, what is she doing in that? That's

awesome. Let's see, what else people know her

from? Nurse Betty me myself and Irene obviously

the Bridget Jones movies People might know her

from white oleander Chicago and I mean cold mountain

cold mountain Yeah, she you know is an Oscar

winner. She she won for she she won for a role

in cold mountain Yeah, but probably what people

are mostly from is Stewart Maguire Bridget Jones

Jones because those were those were huge films

forget how big those were but those are kind

of You know during their time one of the really

big romantic comedies she kind of stayed in that

realm for a while But she stayed in that room

for a while, but as of three years ago. She hadn't

done nothing and My own love song in 2010 was

according to this was her last project She might

have more stuff listed over on the IMDB but According

to Wikipedia, that's it. Yeah, that's all she's

really done. She was in case 39 in 2009 I think

that was released in 2010, which is an absolutely

horrible movie But lately actually has not done

much still looks like there might be a new Bridger

Jones's movie But we really need another one

of those No, we don't Thank you But she's an

interesting actress a I Almost prefer her doing

voice acting from seeing from hearing her in

B movie then I do actually seeing her as an actress

on on screen I Don't know. It's just one of those

things where Yeah, she's a hard one to place

to it's it is cuz she's had some good stuff I

mean she was good in Coal Mountain. She was I

thought she was really good in this Yeah but

I would be completely okay with her getting a

second win of her career if she went more towards

voice acting. I think that might be a good road

for her to go down. Like you said, we don't know

when it's going to come out, but apparently it's

in pre -production, Bridget Jones' Baby. And

then according to IMDb also four and a half minutes

comes out next year. It's in pre -production

currently for her Kelly Preston, oh man Chandra

Volta's wife Really I had no idea I Believe so.

Let me just double -check that. I think I think

they were married it at one point. Yeah That

stuff I really sometimes I know I put most of

this Like he was married to who it's so hard

to keep track of with with Holly what it changes

so often Oh, I did not know that oh wow their

son passed away Oh, yeah, I believe it was they

were on vacation or something. I forget. Yeah

behind it But it was like a very unexpected tragedy

that occurred. Yeah But now she's still married

to John Travolta she's been in a lot of stuff,

not just film, but she was in an episode of Quincy

M .E. back in the day, she was in an episode

of Chips, Hawaii Five -O, I really think she

was in Twins, holy crap, which I can't believe

they're gonna be making a sequel out of that,

Triplets, ugh. Oh boy. Also in 96 she was in

From Dusk Till Dawn. But I honestly think just

looking at her filmography here probably the

most famous thing you would recognize her from

in the beginning is Jerry Maguire. I mean she's

done a bunch of other stuff before that but after

that she was in Nothing to Lose, Holy Man, Jack

Frost, For Love of the Game. She was in battlefield

earth. I mean battlefield earth. Yeah Yeah She

was in what a girl wants. I like her as an actress.

She's a really really good actress She was the

superhero mom in sky high in 2005. That was funny

But there really hasn't been any like I Like

her in a lot of films and I like her as an actress

but like she's not Like your mainstream actress,

I don't know why but like she's not someone you

would think of in Like a major role. I got like

us like a super like she's not Hey, here's Nicole

Kidman in birthday girl She's yeah, she's not

really a leading lady. She's good in certain

spots You can place her in in certain roles and

she's a good TV actress but She's not someone

who's going to carry a movie, one that you can

really rely on to give you really dramatic or

well -rounded performance. She has a certain

thing she does, and if she has a good director

behind her that can use her effectively, then

I think she can work well. I don't know how she's

going to perform this, but... She might be nominated

for an Oscar next year or the year after because

Next year. She's gonna be starring or she'll

show I don't know if it's a starring role or

not But she's gonna be in Gotti in the shadow

of my father as Victoria Vicky Gotti. It's in

pre -production That could be interesting yeah,

it also could be like a TV movie you never really

know Yes, that's true Yeah, but like just like

Renee Zellweger she hasn't Kelly hasn't done

anything since 2010 and I I think probably because

of the the death of Jet that's probably one of

the reasons why Yeah, I'm sure that plays into

it and they've also have a overall big family

to begin with so I mean even drawn to build as

well Didn't hasn't done much in the last 10 years

either. So they could have just be taking a break

or cut but yeah Who knows? Jerry O 'Connell.

Oh my god. This guy. Well, Stand By Me. Everybody

remembers Stand By Me, right? Of course. Maybe

his biggest claim to fame. He's the fat kid that

was in Stand By Me, grew up to actually be big

and athletic. Who would have thought? Police

Academy five assignment Miami Beach kid at the

beach Calendar girl Jerry Maguire scream to can't

hardly wait. Oh, yeah, he was tripping nearly

that he was uncredited for that role though I

mean my first I even want to add to this day

when I see Jerry O 'Connell, I think sliders

even Yeah on TV. Yeah I forgot all about the

fact that he was in this as the up -and -coming

quarterback of Jerry Maguire's big agent that

ends up turning his back on him. And again, as

far as film, he's done stuff with TV since 2010,

but as far as film... He hasn't done anything

on film since 2010. He did the voice of Captain

Marvel in Superman Shazam and Return of Black

Adam, as far as TV in the last three years. He

was on The Defenders, he was a voice on G .I.

Joe Renegades as Barbecue, and last year he was

in Mockingbird Lane, which is a TV movie. Other

than that, he hasn't been doing much. Looks like

he's gonna be in scary movie 5, which is probably

not a good sign because that looks god -awful.

Yeah, no Wait, what what the hell is Mitt Romney's

tax return hunt short Wow That's weird weird

Apparently he's gonna be in burning love in an

episode The look -alike is in post -production,

Space Station 76 is in post -production. Scary

Movie 5, oh my god. It's taken them too many

damn years to get five of those damn movies out

of here. I would have thought Scary Movie 5 would

have come out four years ago. I'm not complaining

that they're not making more of them, that's

the - I know, but I'm saying like, you know,

I thought by now we would be up to Scary Movie

10! I guess the issue is that there are many

- Big horror film so there's not much to You

know parody if there aren't many I mean they're

parroting trailers now of movies. It's crazy

like it's I don't know it's It's those films

are kind of they seem to be making the parody

films before the actual films are even out yet.

So Anyways anybody else in the cast list that

stands out to you Oh man, there are so many people.

I don't even think we can go through all of them,

but there are just so many. Jay Moore, Regina

King, Bonnie Hunt, all of those people stand

out. Regina King especially as Marcy because

she, I think was it later that year, she played

Will Smith's wife in Enemy of the State 96 or

was it 98? I think it was 98, I don't remember.

And the kid Love Kenny or whatever the heck his

name is yeah, yeah You know he's he I think he

was just on an episode of the nurse the other

day I don't remember he was on song I heard him

on something he was with it wasn't just him it

was somebody else with him, but But he's like

grown up to be a full -on director whatever what

kind of issues are you having what did you do

did you break it Hey, I'm back. Sorry, my battery

started going. I had it fully charged, but my

cord came out, so I had to re -plug it in so

my computer didn't shut down. No, a lot of these

people on here, like I said, Jonathan Lipnicki,

he's grown up to be a bona fide producer. I heard

him on something the other day. I don't know

if it was Nerdist Podcat I heard him on something

with some he was with somebody promoting something

it wasn't a YouTube video or anything like that,

but I Don't know I saw him somewhere But yeah,

I mean and you know Jay Moore he's he's been

in a ton of stuff Very very awesome Wasn't Eric

Stoltz the original Marty McFly? Yeah, if you

buy the if you buy the blu -ray they they're

actually scenes and on the blu -ray the Of him

and it's just it's such a strange thing watching

him play Marty McFly Because it's it lacks any

type of comedy. It's they made that the right

choice and Going asking him. Yeah As far as the

cameos, obviously, we're not gonna talk at length

about these people's careers because it's not

film former NFL quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe Troy

Aikman and Warren Moon Jordan ice skater Katrina

Witt then current Dallas Cowboys head coach Barry

Switzer former Detroit Lions coach Wayne Fontz

plays themselves in the film other NFL players

that cameos as themselves are Tim McDonald Johnny

Morton Rick Mirra Rob Moore Art Monk Kerry Collins

Of course, for sportscasters, you have the classic

90s ones, Al Michaels, Frank Gifford, Ray Firestone,

Mike Tertio, Dan Deardoff. You know, you've got

tons of cameos. some other ESPN personalities.

But yeah, it's kind of it brought me back. We

watching this, seeing some of those stars, seeing

what's kind of cool, too, is a lot of the sports

clips that they showed this the last final game

because there really is very little sports actually

being played except for that that main game at

the end. Yeah. And that was actually the majority

of that footage was taken from a real NFL game.

They just kind of edited it and putting in certain

scenes for the movie, which was kind of... Let's

hope they had the expressed written consent.

Yo, of course it did, because... No, I know,

but you know how they always say that at the

beginning of any sports thing? It's like, this

product cannot be copied, transmitted without

the expressed... It's kind of funny, too, because

it... Just seeing some of that old footage and

there's a kind of a cool thing and when they're

playing the Eagles and you're seeing the Eagles

in the old uniforms But when they're doing the

scenes At the stadium the new logo, which is

now the logo they have now is in the background

So there's obviously a transition going on there

But I kind of like that that they kind of use

real actual NFL footage for their games It was

a cheap way to do it but in it for them But it

made it more effective and made those those moments

feel more real and when they transition to the

moments directly related to the film. I never

really felt like I was watching a different game.

It all felt coherent and within the moment. Yeah.

No, the sports moments were really great and

I often wonder, well, I don't often wonder, but

I often wonder at least with watching this film,

do ESPN or like any of those news outlets whether

it's sports news whether it's regular do they

save like do you think that they save that those

footages and just had the had the cameos cut

a relic cut in Rod Tidwell's name or anything

because i'm wondering if those were like you

said it was it was old footage but i'm wondering

if it was if they did it as completely old broadcasts.

That's what I'm wondering is if ESPN saves like

May 21st, 1996, broadcast of Sports Center. You

see what I'm saying? So I'm wondering if those

places hold on to that stuff. I'm certain they

do. I mean, all NFL films keeps track of a lot.

They fall to pretty much every game that's ever

been played and the different productions of

it. Regarding like old episodes like Sports Center

or something like that that I'm certain they

do I would I would assume I don't know for sure

but because they They often cut back at times

and if you watch Sports Center today if something

happens if there's an anniversary They often

show old foot old footage of them covering it

at the time. So would be my guess You know the

whole love story thing within the film, right?

I found that interesting how that happened between

Jerry and Dorothy. I think all we're missing

is a tin man and a cowardly lion. But I found

it interesting how that happened. Watching it

back, I honestly think that the dialogue between

the two of them was kind of more it's when i

watched it back it felt like it was more forced

like the whole thing with at the end with well

if this is where it has to happen this is where

it has to happen you're my wife and i love you

know the whole thing and then of course everyone

nowadays in the last you know as you said this

film's almost 20 years old um everyone nowadays

always uses You had me at hello is one of the

worst lines of any film or whatever else but

it goes to what their love story is because he

does use the line that he asked her about with

a deaf couple in the elevator was you know you

complete me and all that and everything else

but I don't know I I like this for the sports

aspects I like it for his character aspects and

his development and his need to change, but I

don't know if I like the love story in this movie.

It's too strange for me. I could see the argument

that it is overwritten in a way. Did calculate

a lot of things to kind of play together a lot

or all those running motifs with that? Angry

woman's club of divorced woman all these kind

of ongoing lines like you mentioned the you complete

me thing and it all culminates into this last

moment and it does reap of being like a Moment

from like every other romantic comedy when there's

so much around it that was better than that It

does kind of cheapen it in a way like you mentioned

and you had me at a hello And it's kind of like

I rolling you're like, okay, that's a little

much. You didn't really necessarily need that

I mean, I do think we're saying that was Renee's

over here does a really good job delivering that

line even with the cheesiness, but I could see

that it does get a little camera crow does kind

of Need to like allow the film to be its own

thing sometimes and when he does it works really

well like that scene with Tom Cruise meeting

the Lipnicki's the young kid for the first time

and how that was completely ad -libbed He just

let him go and it feels really natural and that

compared to that final moment Which feels very

written and very forced like you mentioned it

you kind of wish he did that more often One of

the reasons why I think it's so written and so

forced is because throughout the entire film,

Dorothy essentially ignores the divorced women's

group. I assume the reason why the divorced women's

group meets in her sister's house is because

her sister might be divorced. It's never really

stated in the film, and I haven't really actually

read the plot online anywhere recently to see

if it says her divorced sister. but it's like

at the end she comes around is like yeah and

she joins the friggin group and i'm thinking

you you had a little fight you had a a slight

breakup you didn't divorce the guy already he

even calls you his wife when he comes that just

her character does seem very wishy -washy she

does she does not stand on firm ground she tends

to kind of React very quickly the things I mean

she falls in love with Tom Cruise almost immediately

just based upon his manifesto and listening over

a conversation he has in there on the on the

plane so I It kind of fits her character, but

you kind of what she had a moment where you felt

She was taking charge or you felt like she was

more full of her character We're in a lot of

ways. She was just a reactionary piece to Jerry

Maguire and I think she was he felt like I think

that would have strengthened the love story if

you felt there were moments where she was actually

doing something and she's not just trying to,

you know, make everyone happy, which almost seems

like what she does in a way. Like, I think the

big reason she tries to divorce her is almost

to please her sister. Like, everything she does

is calculated for other people and never kind

of for what's right or what's wrong, just what

she thinks will make things easier in a way.

Yeah, the other scene I really really enjoyed

was Drunk Jerry fucking Zeus clothes, right?

Yeah The stuff with with Lib Nikki is is awesome

You know, I don't know. I don't remember him

in much else after that as far as like an actor

like I said, I know nowadays he's more on the

on the backside on like producing and all that

stuff, but like after that film I cannot think

of one single film that he was in that I Really

really remember. I mean, I think the big thing

he did after that was the Stuart little movies

Again like those movies he would like I remember

him from like Mike He was also after Jerry Maguire

I think what they tried to do is put him in TV

series to think oh people love this kid They

were gonna love him on TV. They put him in the

Jeff Fox worthy show, which was a really bad

sitcom Yes, yes it was But yeah, his biggest

thing was stuart little which were pretty big

movies. He did some of the like the like the

disney things like little vampire and like mike,

but Yeah, I think still to this day He's gonna

always be known as that kid from jerry maguire

with the big head and where it's in the square

glasses Yeah, the human head weighs eight pounds.

Yeah, i'm sure he hears that on a daily basis

still to this day But the relationship I thought

really worked beyond just that romantic relationship

was that between Jerry Maguire and Rod. That

friendship really blossomed over the film, yeah.

And how different they are in just seeing them

both evolve and how they affect each other and

how something Cuban Gooding or Bratiduel would

say and how it would affect what Jerry Maguire

would... and how they kind of devolved each other.

And you see Rod having this kind of bravado when

it comes to sports, but when it comes to his

personal life, he's very loving, a very caring

person. And I think you see Jerome McGuire seeing

that, and he's just unable to do the same. There's

that scene in the pizza, I think it's a pizza

place or restaurant, and Rod Tidwell and his

wife are very... affectionate towards one another

and Tom Cruise is there with his wife and It's

being forced and they just don't feel comfortable

Yeah Well, you know when you propose to a woman

outside of a van in the middle of you know Just

for the hell of it to keep her from going away,

you know Like I don't Thinking about it now after

I watched the movie. I don't buy their love story

Not in the beginning. I don't because like sure

she as you said kind of falls in love with what

he wrote and I Don't know it's I think at the

beginning almost you're not supposed you're not

supposed to buy that moment. It's supposed to

feel unearned because it's Jerry Maguire being

that person who can't be alone and that person

who just is doing something without really thinking

it through just because he's afraid of what will

happen if he is kind of left by himself and then

when he gets to the point and he is alone and

He has that line to Rod Tidwell and he's in there

about to go to the game It's like oh you came

to show support. He's like, well, you're all

I have and I think that Kind of shows you at

the end. I think that's the first realization

of Him losing something he never really understood

what he had because he was unable to let it go

and when it was forced upon him He was kind of

able to reconcile and realized there was something

there He just never went for it because it was

too uncomfortable and something he wasn't used

to Right So but yeah, okay. No good. No, but

that's kind of what I saw that moment. So And

of course Wow Okay, well back in 1990 1996 there

were DVDs because The film was first released

on DVD on December 13th 1996 and I don't believe

this because I know it's it has to be true obviously

because it says there's features on it, but There's

both a standard edition and a two disc special

edition like I didn't like I hadn't noticed two

disc special editions till about 99 2000 And

as far as the legacy of the film, you know, I

Mean it's it's considered AFI listed as their

top ten number ten in the top ten greatest films

of all time those poets remembered two lines

from the film show me the money and You had me

I had a low or on AFL AFI both of them are on

top 25 and 52. Show me the money's at 25 You

had me and hello is at 52 and you complete me

was nominated 100 100 years 100 Cheers. It was

nominated 100 years 100 movies 10th anniversary

edition. It was nominated Topped 10 top 10 10

number 10 sports film also nominated romantic

comedy Let me ask you a question. Do you feel

this is a sports movie? Yes Because I know some

people say it isn't but I because there aren't

much sports in it But like I'm I'm with you.

I think it's very that's the thing about the

movie It's it's sports but it's not what you

as we said before it's not what you see It's

not what the average viewer would turn on their

television and see it's sports, but it's sports

behind the scenes It's taking you into the life

of a player in Rod Tidwell I guess to a lesser

extent, you know, Kush and his dad's stronger

than oak thing, you know, but it's more of a

behind the scenes sports movie than it is, oh

my God, it's Rod Tidwell in the game, yay. Exactly.

I see this more as a sports movie than I do a

romantic comedy because the romantic, the comedy,

not comedy, the romance part of it is the B story.

I mean, at the end, it turns into the A story,

obviously, because, yay, Rodgut, $11 .3 million

for four, you know, sure, all that happens. But

the beginning of this movie to about, I would

say, the 85, 90 % till it's done is a sports

movie. That last 10 % of the film is where the

romance really comes in. Yeah, I agree that I

would also consider a sports movie and I think

the fact that we asked that question on moments

It solidifies that it is a really good sports

movie. Yeah. Oh it is. It's it's very good I

can I could I could watch this every couple of

years. I just hadn't watched it in a long time

and then obviously You know, I saw it a couple

weeks ago before we recorded. Yeah, so and the

reason I can I also consider it's because people

Often I think sports movies become too much about

the sports not enough about the characters right

someone thinks of Rocky we always think of The

boxing but we really watched the first Rocky

film. There's very little about boxing in that

movie It's about Adrian. It's about Rocky and

they're really Yeah, exactly. And I think this

is really equates well to that film as it's Jerry

Maguire his relationships with just I think humanity

as a whole and right so I completely agree I

category as this is a sports movie. Last thing

I want to talk about before we head to an ad

break is Bruce Springsteen's Secret Garden. Apparently

a Bruce Springsteen song from 95 needs to be

re -released in 97 after being in the film to

get popularity. In the 90s close to I would say

well I'd say from 95 to 99 They always had this

thing of putting in stuff with the song from

whatever it was featured in. There is a Jerry

Maguire version of Secret Garden where it cuts

in quotes and audio scenes from the movie, like

the whole you had me at hello thing. That whole

time, from 95 to 99, there are many songs that

do that. Like, I think there's a version of...

And I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I'm just

saying I find it very interesting that they did

that. And I don't think a lot of stuff does that

nowadays. Which I think is good in a way, but

I remember Elton John's Candle in the Wind. There

was something there where they... There was a

version of that where they used some sort of

footage or some sort of audio bits. uh... what's

the other one uh... all things on they did stuff

with that i believe the kenny g version did stuff

with that so i don't know i like the song it's

a good song as far as the rest of the soundtrack

you've cast uh... in the man uh... rolling stones

Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, oh god, Tom

Cruise singing Free Fallin'. That was so hilarious.

Yeah, that moment when he's trying to fight the

right song for that. It's hilarious, because

if you know anything about King or Crow movies,

his soundtracks are almost always great. Even

when his movies aren't great, he's... great at

using music for the moment and I thought that

was hilarious because he's trying to find that

that right song to sing to because we so often

see that after something positive happens it

goes to the guy in the car singing along and

just trying to you know play you know play with

that common trope I thought was a great moment

what I found uh interesting about the the music

and the scoring and all that stuff and and the

songs that are in the film the film was scored

by Crow's then -wife, Nancy Wilson. One half

of heart. So I thought that's pretty interesting.

Any other, before we go to final thoughts, but

anything else you want to bring up about the

movie? Anything else. Well, I guess it's... People

maybe even forget just how critically praised

this movie was. I mean, it was nominated for

Best Picture. Cameron Crowe was nominated for

Best Screenplay, but not Best Director. It was

kind of odd that it's Best Picture, Best Screenplay,

but not Director. Tom Cruise was nominated There's

a lot like this was like loves at the Oscars

and I think people just Lump it in as a romantic

comedy, but it's a really quality film So in

a lot of great moments and a great performance

by Tom Cruise It I would put it up there as one

of his best maybe his top five Which is impressive

because you look at his career. He has had a

lot of great work All right, we're gonna head

we are back and we are the IGN Replacement Crew

Zero is you would gnaw your own arm off before

you watch this movie One is don't watch this

even if it's free Two is worth a watch if it's

free on TV Three is worth adding to the Netflix

list Obviously I don't think it's on Netflix

I looked for it earlier and it wasn't there Four

this one is a must add to your DVD collection

What do you rank it? I'd give it a very solid

three, very heavy three. It's not something I

would rewatch over and over again. I think rewatching

that romantic angle doesn't work as well. Some

of those cheesy lines become a little bit more

cheesy, but I think it's something that is worth

watching. And if you're a sports movie fan, I

think the positive thing about it is if you're...

It's it's a cloud crowd pleaser You can guys

can get something out of it because of the sports

angle if you're fan of romantic comedies There's

something in there for you as well So I don't

think everything works in it like we mentioned

but enough is there to give it a very solid three

I Did have this on DVD for the longest time Now

though I would say you know rent it from iTunes

or you know I don't know. I'm like between a

high two to a high three because I just Like

I said, I don't think this is one that I could

watch more than maybe once every three or four

years It's a good movie. I'm not saying it's

not a good movie But it's just like to me this

doesn't seem like one of those ones where hey

I turn on TNT and it kind of was this time because

obviously I was like oh hey I have a podcast

coming up that I need to record for this I should

probably watch this since it's on but like those

movies that come on USA and TNT and TBS and Family

Chan you know those movies like Transformers

Revenge of the Fallen or like G .I. Joe Rise

of Cobra or you know those movies that the channels

currently always play those to me are movies

that I can put on and either watch or fall asleep

to This really isn't one of those ones where

I would put it on to Just lay there and watch

it. I don't know. I just It's the writing is

too deep and as we said at some points, it's

a little too convoluted. So If they erased the

the love story, it just kept it all about the

sports maybe I would be able to do so and watch

it more but Obviously that would take out the

main You know part of the main thing that made

the movie so good oh Boy all right, so I think

that's gonna do it for us We hope you enjoyed

this episode of NY I wish you'll join us next

time when we will be continuing the 90s flashback

with episode 97 the fifth element Yay, Alice

before she learned to talk anyway For now, I

am tfd1mike with movie revolt and Thank you for

listening keep those film reels rolling I was

just about to tell you That I love him I do I

love him. I love him I don't care what you think.

I love him for the man he wants to be and I love

him for the man that he almost is. I love him,

Laurel. I love him. I love him. You gotta be

fair to her. She loves you. If you don't love

her, you've got to tell her. What if we got married?

If I said that we'd... Would you stay? No, no.

Don't do that. Don't say that, Liz. Well, say

it if you want to. Will you marry me? Jerry Maguire,

take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife.

And do you, Dorothy Boy, take this man to be

your lawfully wedded husband. I now pronounce

you husband and wife. I pretended that proposal

by the car was real. And it might have just been

a hypothetical. I did this. And at least I can

do something about it now. So this break is a

break up. Come on, Jerry. You know this is...

Get rid of me. How about that? I'm just my wife.
