FadCast Ep. 144 | Is Tom Cruise A Good Or Bad Actor?

This week on the FadCast, we take a run at the age old question, “Is Tom Cruise a great actor, or a horrible one?” We tackle the impossible mission of investigating his filmography to find clues as to how good of a thespian cruise really is. From Cruise’s iconic white brief and tube-sock clad dance in “Risky Business”, to him letting loose the goose in “Top Gun”, to running his way through what will soon be six installments of “Mission Impossible,” we find ourselves in the Cruise-Danger Zone. But first, we explore the comedic side of cruise with a scene from “Tropic Thunder.”

Before that, we briefly talk ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ TV Spot Shows More Tech Suit Functionality and how Nintendo Theme Park Trailer Arrives With Mario Kart Ride Details for our SPEED ROUND!

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
