30something Movie Podcast

We’re digging into the archives to bring you a former Patron-exclusive! This week, we’re unlocking a classic episode from a few years ago for everyone to enjoy: our breakdown of the 1985 quintessential road-trip rom-com, The Sure Thing.

Before he was a cynical high-fidelity record store owner, a young John Cusack was Walter "Gib" Gibson, a college freshman braving a cross-country trek for the promise of a "sure thing" waiting in California. But when he's forced to share the ride with his uptight classmate Alison, the open road becomes a battlefield of bickering, bad weather, and unexpected chemistry. It’s a charming look back at a film that proved Rob Reiner had the magic touch and that sometimes, the best things in life are the ones you didn't plan for.

Larry Flynt didn't set out to be a constitutional hero; he just wanted to sell a few magazines and cause a little trouble. But when his unapologetically tacky empire runs head-first into the buttoned-up world of moral watchdogs, the "scum of the earth" finds himself an unlikely champion of the First Amendment.

Fifteen years later, a chance encounter in a pub offers a bloody shot at revenge.
