EP 85 Tom Cruise drops a movie so pricey it’s making headlines for the wrong reasons, and we start Thanksgiving by asking the only question that matters: how does a mega star swing and miss this hard? From there, we bounce through what makes a trailer feel doomed, why some “serious” movies don’t earn the hype, and how Hollywood math turns a bad opening into a full-blown public roast.
The conversation turns sharper when we shift to real life. We react to Canada’s job losses, vent about fuel drama and leadership priorities, and then zoom out to global news with the Saudi airport strike and the brutal reality of civilians getting caught in the middle. We also talk about famous deaths, the awkward moment of checking life expectancy stats, and the kind of advertising that drives us nuts, especially weight loss drug commercials that sell an easy out.
Then we hit environmental news with Malaysia’s air quality and the recurring Southeast Asia haze tied to slash and burn burning in Indonesia, plus the worry that rolling back emissions rules can drag places backward. Finally, we bring it home with sports: NBA preseason randomness, injuries and depth charts, owners dodging the luxury tax, WNBA playoff chatter, and why college football stadiums still feel unreal. We close with jokes, travel talk about Nova Scotia fall colors and the Cabot Trail, and a few everyday annoyances like winter tires and car repairs.
