  • 805. Which Way Is Up: Deep Cover (1992) and Miami Vice (2006)
    Jul 30 2025

    What happens when cops get so deep undercover that they risk losing themselves and becoming the very thing they're trying to destroy? Bill Duke directs Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum, Michael Mann directs Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, and both of these movies will take you to the limit.

    The Deep Question: You find an email from the head of a major movie studio in your spam and quickly realize it's legit. They want to offer you the chance to make your own movie! It can be anything you want, but their only condition is that they've promised the starring role to their dear godson: Jai Courtney. Do you make the movie?

  • 804. Adapt to Survive: Collateral (2004)
    Jul 23 2025

    You know the people who complain that Tom Cruise isn't a good actor? Well, those people clearly never saw Collateral (2004), Michael Mann's insightful thriller that puts Cruise and Jamie Foxx in the driver's seat.

    Collateral's hook is actually the least interesting thing about it - the conversations between Cruise and Foxx are where the film comes alive. Mann elevates the action with a gripping dichotomy between a heartless terror succeeding in his career and a decent, honest working man falling asleep at the wheel as the world passes him by.

    The Deep Question: What's a TV show you'd like to see adapted into a movie?

    The Deep Question: The doorbell rings! Barbara Broccoli has sent you a telegram hand-delivered by Daniel Craig, who invites himself in to talk about the finer details of his Bond characterization. As he casts a critical eye upon your tea selection, you hastily read the telegram and learn that you've been tasked with coming up with the next Bond film title. What will it be?
