Episode description

067 - The year was 1996, a man named Cameron Crowe had spent the previous five years cramming an absurd amount of quotables into one sprawling script, to be delivered through a peak 90s Tom Cruise, and an unknown Renee Zellweger (and an absolutely stacked supporting cast). The result: we all lost our damn minds over the world's cutest kid, and Jerry Maguire become a cultural juggernaut. But that was 24 years ago; just how well does the film hold up in 2020? On our quest to find out, we go deep on the film's origin story and legacy, and ask the big questions - like, how did a successful sports agent fall so broke so immediately after leaving a job with 72 star athletes on the books? Where the hell is Cuba Gooding Jr these days after such an ELECTRIC Oscar-winning performance? And does Jerry even know what a mission statement actually is?
