Episode Details

Film critic Sean Kernan spotlights Diggers this week on Friday at the Movies across the Hog Country Radio Network. The film stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, a billionaire oil baron facing the fallout from a massive economic and environmental disaster tied to his drilling empire. Kernan calls the movie loud, messy, strange, and fascinating, comparing its climate-change satire to Dr. Strangelove. He says Cruise delivers one of the strongest performances of his career, with enough force to enter the Oscar conversation. Kernan also teases a major twist audiences won’t see coming.
