Kingpin
Is this the best bowling comedy in film history? Is it the ONLY bowling comedy in film history? Is it a worthy middle child to the Farrelly brothers' 90s run that starts Dumb and Dumber and after this goes to There's Something About Mary?

Jerry Maguire
We revisit Jerry Maguire and try to figure out why it's still so endlessly rewatchable nearly three decades on. From the iconic setup and its surprising R-rated origins, to Cuba Gooding Jr.'s scene-stealing turn as Rod Tidwell, to the question of whether anyone but Tom Cruise could have carried this movie — we dig into the runtime debates, the awards legacy, and the deep bench of casting wins (Renée Zellweger, Regina King) that Cameron Crowe assembled. A love letter, a rewatch, and an honest bre

Phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon.....no, wait, that's different. This is John Travolta playing an angel. No, wait, that's another 1996 movie. THIS one is John Travolta as a super genius in a small town with Kyra Sedgwick and Forrest Whittaker and Robert Duvall. Seriously it's kinda good.
