Be Reel

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. Find all episodes of the show at bereelguys.com. "Cocktail" is streaming now via HBO.
