What happens when you don’t set the parking brake on your dad’s Porsche? Or when you accidentally turn your family home into a brothel? In this episode of Movie Cruise, John and Marty dive into Tom Cruise’s breakout role in Risky Business — a movie about sex, college applications, and the awkward leap from childhood to adulthood.
We talk about the movie’s surprising depth compared to Losin’ It, the symbolism of Joel’s ever-present glasses, and the unforgettable moment when Joel’s dad complains about a “preponderance of bass.” From equalizers to existentialism, we explore how Cruise balances comedy, style, and rebellion — and why this movie cemented him as a star.
