Phil and Emily continue their Tom Cruise Mini-Series with a deep dive into the 2007 political drama Lions for Lambs. 🎬🔥 Joining them is film critic and author Jason Bailey (Fun City Cinema), who brings his insightful perspective to this star-studded film featuring Cruise, Meryl Streep, and Robert Redford.

Despite its powerhouse cast and timely themes, Lions for Lambs struggled to make a lasting impact. The trio explores the film's ambitious narrative structure, its commentary on the War on Terror, and how it fits into the broader context of 2000s political cinema. Was it a case of too much star power and not enough substance, or does it deserve a second look?

Tune in as they dissect the film's intentions, its reception, and Tom Cruise's performance as a charismatic senator. 🎧✨
