Lucy in the Vanilla Sky with Diamonds

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get in a car wreck, and decide to off themselves. Not before leaving their minds to be cryogenically frozen and set to lucid dream mode for 150 years.It's WEEK 3 of 2 THOUGHTS 2 DEEP TOO : TOKYO DRIFT, and we are scratching our heads to Cameron Crowe's 2001 follow-up to Almost Famous, the very weird, maybe underrated, but perhaps justly forgotten, VANILLA SKY, starring Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Jason Lee. We weren't scratching our heads trying to figure out what was going on in this confusing movie, as it pretty much explains everything at the end, for better or worse. But we are scratching our heads to why it exists in the first place.Tom Cruise goes off on one in this vanity picture, that mirrors a lot of his own star status, and is making a lot of interesting choices with his "being bad" (giving a lot of Jim Carrey) that you wouldn't see him do today. Along with this, we get instances of Manic Pixie Dream Girls, Scientology buddies, disfigurements, a ton of Pop Culture references and hidden Easter Eggs, and Cameron Diaz out acting the whole cast.The film made a ton of money, and did okay with the critics, but for some reason it's one that no one talks about any more. What happened to Cameron Crowe's career? Did Jason Lee and Tom Cruise ever hang out before this film? Is Tom Cruise a good actor? We attempt to ask these questions, no one has answers to... in our 200th Episode!!!“Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.”If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!
