More from The Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis
It's the biggest box-office flop of Tom Cruise's career and Leonard Maltin think that's totally justified! That's right, this week Maltin and Davis dig into Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s big, bizarre satire starring Cruise as an oil tycoon scrambling to prove he’s humanity’s saviour after disaster strikes.
Tom Cruise, a house full of trouble and one unforgettable dance in his socks - Risky Business has all the makings of an ’80s classic.

Leonard and Guy step into the ring with Rocky, the scrappy 1976 sensation that turned Sylvester Stallone into a star and made underdogs everywhere believe they had a shot.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this week Leonard and Guy revisit The First Wives Club, exploring the film's themes of sisterhood and self-empowerment, the impact of its star-studded cast, and the cultural context of its release.
