Nice! Looking forward to this! On a Tom Cruise side note, while it would be great to eventually see a Top Gun: Maverick reaction on here, that is a movie that MUST be seen in a theater. Do yourself a favor and go see it! One of my top 3 movie watching experiences ever!

If you've got time to delve, Karina Longworth recently did an episode that included Risky Business on her podcast You Must Remember This. So great.

Curtis Armstrong looked like he was about 16 in this movie but in Revenge of the Nerds the next year he looked probably double that. Granted it has been a very long time since I have seen Revenge of the Nerds, not even a reaction to it. So maybe he did look young in Revenge of the Nerds.

Jackie gave Joel Lana's number as she was getting into the cab.

I guess if they called this movie Risque Business, it might of given too much of the plot away.

I was right here watching it for the first with you. I heard a lot about this movie in pop culture and had not watched it. I am glad it has happen now. I am not a Tom Cruise fan but i will admit I haven’t seen a bad Tom Cruise movie. Catch you at the next watch along. FYI, the background static is back in this video. It all throughout like at 58 min mark of the movie.

The John Hughes comparison is apt. I was getting Weird Science vibes.

I was hoping you would like this one. Seemed right up your alley. The soundtrack is so good but hard to find now. I didn’t feel like it was low budget at all, just style choices. Maybe that is a sign of good filmmaking or maybe the film only needed what it needed. Get a famous actor and a movie could run $20-30 million more. I had to go back and check and yeah a lot of iconic 80s movies came after this one… Weird Science, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller. I may watch some more Tom Cruise dramas myself to see if they’re worth recommending. I’m glad you liked it.

I saw this in the theater as a teenager, and wear ray bans to this day because of the movie, and Rebecca DeMornay was a revelation. This is a movie that I think the casting director made. The story isn't particularly clever, but it's a vehicle for some amazing performances from relative unknowns at the time. Joey Pants with hair? Bronson Pinchot? Curtis Armstrong went on to being a staple in the Nerds franchise. Tom Cruise in the lead isn't a huge gamble after Taps, The Outsiders and Rumblefish, but he still showcases comedic moments inside a drama that gave a good idea that he was going to be THE leading man for the next 30 years.
