Summary

Want to hear us talk about how hot Mark Ruffalo is for two hours? Oooh boy, do we have a treat for you! Wikipedia-cited “In The Cut” stan Jourdain Searles joins us to unpack Jane Campion’s unjustly maligned erotic thriller. What happens to actresses once they turn 40? Would this movie have fared better with audiences if - instead of America’s Sweetheart Meg Ryan - it starred an edgier Nicole Kidman as originally planned? Do you remember the SCANDAL when Meg Ryan cheated on Dennis Quaid with Russell Crowe? Why did we care so much about that?

But I just think there's so much that I love about this film.

0:57.6

It's a favorite film in mind. But and I love McRion's performance.

1:01.6

I love a lot of the performances. But I do think the ruffle of thing.

1:04.9

It's it's easy to imagine many actors being cast in this role. Right?

1:09.6

Obviously, many an actor would love to play a New York City cop who is horny

1:14.7

Yeah. And kind of earthy. And like the world's best lover.

1:18.2

And sure and gives good head. Right.

1:20.5

But like, could anyone be doing quite what he's doing here? No. Right? No.

1:26.2

That's what's so that's maybe the most magic element of this very sort of

special movie with all kinds of great magic elements.

1:33.6

And I would argue he got dinged less for this movie than

1:37.8

campaign and Ryan. But it's still arguably not just for your back a step.

1:42.8
