006 All the Right Moves (1983)

While we don’t have our resident Yinzer on the podcast to talk about the set-in-Pittsburgh film All the Right Moves, we’ve welcomed in our resident high school expert to talk about Tom Cruise as a defensive back on his high school football team. Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party drops by again as we discuss the realism of the football action, Lea Thompson’s greatest acting moment, and whether or not the ending was too cliche. We also talk about yet another Tom Cruise movie with a killer soundtrack, the difficulties he had when trying to fit in as a high school student, and whether or not his character seems like he’s Serbian. (Spoiler alert: it turns out we have no idea.) Join us as we get into a fight with head coach Craig T. Nelson on this episode of #CruiseClub!
