Summary

“This is a version of New York that died immediately on 9/11” - Steve, on the film’s vibe

On this episode, WAIT-WHUT-uary continues with a chat about the early-aughts Cameron Crowe psychological thriller, Vanilla Sky! How amazing is all this New York City cinematography? Was this one of the last times Tom did some super-serious dramatic acting? Can we get more Kurt Russell characters like this doctor guy? Can we also just get Jason Lee back in movies in general? Has Cameron Diaz ever been better? And how creepy is that mask? PLUS: Coming this Fall to Paramount+, Klingon Frasier!

Vanilla Sky stars Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Noah Taylor, Timothy Spall, Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, and Kurt Russell as Dr. McCabe; directed by Cameron Crowe.
