The Incomparable, number 578, August 2021.

Welcome back, everybody to The Incomparable.

I'm your host, Jason Snell.

We are continuing our summer of Spielberg.

We've moved on to 2002 for Minority Report starring movie star, big-time movie star Tom Cruise and a bunch of other recognizable faces too.

Joining me to talk about this tale of pre-crime are the following wonderful people who are not yet criminals, but probably will be by the end of this.

James Thompson, you may already be a criminal. Hello.

Jason Snow, you could use a Guinness right now.

A net weiristria is here. Hello. Hello. I'm about to think of a crime that I might commit.

Okay. We'll see what happens. Monti Ashley is here. Hello.

And I reach out and I put my hand in this position and turn my hand 40 degrees and say,

hello, Jason. And Erica Ensign also is here. Hello. Yeah, I don't want to commit a crime. I just want to take a really

nice, warm, soothing bath and just hang out in it for a long time.

In the milk.

The milk.

I wouldn't call it that, though.

The script calls it milk, but it's clear water, and I kind of wish it was milky.

I think, isn't that what, so Battlestar Galactica did a riff on this, same idea of people who can see things who are in a pool of stuff.

And I think their fluid was milky in a way that the water here is clear or whatever it is, the milk is clear.

Yeah, it was disappointingly clear.

Yeah.

Yeah, it should be grosser, I feel like.
