Pew, pew. Oh, there you go. Pew, fucking pew. Pew, fucking pew, Bill. That's right. My name is Bill Simmons. We are going to do our 17th Tom Cruise movie on the rewatchables. He's like Barry Bonds in 2002. He's just lapping the field. A little bit of that. A classic. Minority Report is next.

Chief Detective John Anderton set up the perfect crime force. People trust you, John. But now... I have a warrant in my pocket that says murder. Seems you've been left out of the loop, John. He has to run from it. He set me up! On June 21st. You can't hide. It's gonna be an entire area. Read anything with eyes and a heartbeat. So get ready to run. Tom Cruise. Steven Spielberg.

97.011 - 102.775 Chris Ryan

Minority Report. Rough landing. Have to work on that. This film not yet rated. June 21st. Only in theaters.

117.568 - 134.279 Bill Simmons

All right, Minority Report. CR has been floating this and suggesting this for a long, long time. He's wearing a master's hat today to try to really capture the magic. Is this the master of his domain? Yeah, that's right.

If you had to pick, is this a Tom Cruise movie or a Spielberg movie? I think it's a Spielberg movie, but I don't think it works if it's not Tom Cruise. But the ingenuity of it, the vision of it, the creative flair, I think in some ways it's one of Steven Spielberg's most swagged out movies. He is doing stuff in this just to amuse himself. Just because he can.

157.022 - 175.553 Bill Simmons

It's like watching him play left-handed. Just like, ah, I'm going to try this. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do all my coverage with camera movement. I'm going to go up a building. I'm going to jump off the building. We're going to do all this stuff about the future, but we're not even going to explain how it works. We're just going to run right through it. It's so fast. It's so energetic.
