Rain Man (1988)

from Film Junk Podcast Hosted by Film Junk

"What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name and this morning we had pancakes." It's time for another Frankie favourite here on Film Junk: the 1988 road trip dramedy Rain Man! This one was a huge blockbuster at the time and went on to win four Oscars including Best Picture. But has it been forgotten and a little underappreciated over the years? Was Dustin Hoffman right to question his own performance? Was Tom Cruise snubbed by the Academy that year? Did Hans Zimmer's score break new ground or was it just following '80s trends? Would Raymond really say "Kmart sucks"? Definitely three minutes to Wapner... hurry up and listen to this week's episode of the Film Junk Podcast.
