DIGGER
Tom Cruise swings for the fences in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s DIGGER. We dig into its mostly negative first wave of reviews and a rough box office start. We argue about whether a movie gets excused for being dumb on purpose, whether this is Cruise's best acting or just his most self-aware, and how it stacks up against Birdman, Bardo, and Babylon. We also get into the ending, our Oscar predictions, and where it lands on our year-end lists.

"Digger" ??? (With Dana Stevens)
🚨🚨🚨 Big News! 🚨🚨🚨
Critical Darlings is going LIVE at The Savannah Film Festival!
In our first live podcast recording, we’re doing an awards season kickoff at 2pm on Tuesday October 29th at The Gutstein Gallery in Savannah Georgia.
We’ll be talking about the year’s awards narratives, the big races, and more. For more information and tickets, visit: https://filmfest.scad.edu/schedule/critical-darlings-awards-season-kickoff-live
—————
Digger may be exhausting to watch, but it sure is fun to talk about!
This week, we’re joined by Dana Stevens, Slate critic and author of Camera Man, to discuss Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s big-budget, big-swing meta-satire about climate, gerontocracy, art, and who knows what else. It may have flopped at the box office, but we’re (sort of) split on what to make of the movie and its knotty, sometimes gorgeous, sometimes clumsy presentation.
Next week, we’re reckoning with The Social Reckoning.

Digger
This week we’re talking about Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Digger, starring Tom Cruise as an oil tycoon at the center of an apocalyptic climate disaster (and also some other stuff)
We discuss whether a movie can be intentionally unpleasant and still simply not work for you, Iñárritu’s keen eye for bringing together incredibly skilled film crafts-people, and the exciting return of Tom Cruise doing something other than jumping out of airplanes.
***Major spoilers for Digger throughout the entire conversation.

Who would have thought Tom Cruise would star in one of the most divisive movies of the year with his newest film, Digger. Listen as we dive into the shallow end of this movie because one of us thought it was really good and the other admitted to not paying attention during the movie and thus thought it was “dog-water”. What did you think of it??? Huh?!?! Also we’re talkin spooky movies, Silo and more!

"Digger"
For this week's main podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, and Tom O'Brien join me to review and discuss the latest film from four-time Academy Award winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, "Digger," starring Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg & Jesse Plemons. The final film released by Warner Bros. after 103 years as an independent studio, Iñárritu's latest may also be his and the studio's most timely, given where we are heading as a society, and it certainly isn't short on bold storytelling from a filmmaker unafraid to take risks. That risk comes with split opinions, as this environmental comedy has divided audiences and critics, with recent marketing asking everyone to decide for themselves whether this is a misfire from Iñárritu or a banger that will stand the test of time. Where do we fall on it? Please tune in, either on video or audio only, as we discuss the story, its shocking twist, the performances, most notably from Tom Cruise, Iñárritu's direction, the craft of the cinematography by three-time Oscar winner Emmanuel Lubezki, the creative production design, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. What's the truth? You decide. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Digger vs. Borden
(Part 3)
Digger is out, and apparently it's pretty polarizing. Tim says it's good. Critics do not. Apparently you'll have to watch for yourself to determine if you love it or hate it. Kind of like the Lizzie Borden season of Monster, which Tim does not say is good.
Topics:
Digger
Coyote vs. Acme
Lioness

Digger and What’s Making Us Happy
Digger is a loud, surprising, audacious, and sure-to-be-polarizing entry in this year’s Oscars race. The film stars Tom Cruise as a powerful oil baron who’s helped unleash an existential threat on the world — but that’s only the beginning. The looming devastation attracts the attention of the president (John Goodman) and a well-intentioned scientist (Riz Ahmed). The film takes some pretty big narrative swings along the way. But will Digger work for everyone?

Episode 65 of "On Film...With Kevin McCarthy". A film podcast featuring longer form interviews with filmmakers discussing craft.
PART ONE - Spoiler-Free podcast conversation with Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu for DIGGER. This is part of an hour long podcast chat we had surrounding Digger and both of their incredible careers including Amores Perros, Eyes Wide Shut, Born of the Fourth of July, Magnolia and more. I split the hour long chat up into two parts. This one is completely spoiler-free. The second, which will release next week, will contain a spoiler-filled conversation about the surprises in DIGGER. DIGGER is now playing in theaters.
Part Two gets even more geeky talking aspect ratios and Tom Cruise's process detaching from charactes.

Drill, Baby, Drill: Inside Digger's Disaster
Tom Cruise plays a fossil fuel titan under mountains of jowly makeup, Alejandro G. Iñárritu wants to make his generation's "Dr. Strangelove," and somewhere in between the two, "Digger" forgets to be funny. We break down why a $125 million climate satire built for maximum importance ends up feeling like a lecture instead of a warning.
