Digger Is Getting Dragged, But I Get It

This week, I'm talking about Digger, the new Tom Cruise film that's been getting dragged by critics — and, for once, I'm here to defend a movie that seemingly everyone else has a problem with. What starts off looking like a story about a billionaire oil tycoon quickly turns into something much stranger, with a twist that completely reframes the film and a satirical, almost theatrical approach that I found genuinely refreshing. I get into the film's many layers, its surprisingly brilliant cinematography, Tom Cruise's performance, and why I think the criticism that it's too sympathetic towards corporate CEOs misses some of the bigger points it's trying to make. Spoilers ahead! We get into the film's biggest reveals and its commentary on climate change, corporate greed, political hypocrisy, and our own complicity in the systems destroying the planet.

Plus, it's time for Songs of the Week! I'm talking about Remi Wolf's new album Mud—including my current favourites, “Champagne” and “Burn Blue”—alongside new music from Slayyyter and songs by Dora Jar and Ruby Roberts. As always, you can find all my picks in the monthly playlist on Spotify by searching for The Overshare Pamphlet. See you next Monday at 6am UK time!
