In this special episode, Harry and Daniel are guests of the Seattle-based Dead Beat Film Society podcast, joining them in a discussion of Barry Levinson’s Rain Man, starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman.
Tune in to hear their them chat about the way the film defies genre convention to deliver a moving, but realistic and measured portrayal of the central relationship. They further talk about the portrayal of disabilities onscreen and how that might be achieved today, why this might be one of Cruise’s best performances, and much more!
