Reeled In: “Cocktail”
Episode 44.5
This week, Noah and Chance order up the 1988 Tom Cruise vehicle “Cocktail.” Never seen it? Somehow we hadn’t either, despite the fact that it features one of the brashest, most encompassing Cruise performances ever. He plays a showman bartender who twirls bottles, gyrates to ’80s hits, parties with the clientele, competes poisonously with his mentor, and fancies himself “the world’s last barman poet.” Hard to believe we found something to talk about in there.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel was a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
We cherished our 8-year run, talking to filmmakers like Gus Van Sant, insulting each other’s taste, and laughing to high heaven.
Chance’s new movie podcast, The Kick, continues to explore curated sub-genres and movie geekery. Noah is a frequent and beloved guest.
