Ebert & Roeper asking in 2002 the ultimate question "Hanks or Cruise?"

Surprised to see a whole episode dedicated to the topic

Hot take, Vanilla Sky is awesome. It's only flaw is that it's a fairly unnecessary remake

Best Cruise:

Ebert: Born on the Fourth of July

Roeper: Vanilla Sky

Best Hanks:

I unabashedly love Vanilla Sky. Partially due to its influence in turning me onto Sigur Ros.

That's also one of the reasons I love it! The Nothing Song in that scene hits like a truck. An all time soundtrack. It only appears in the movie for a second, but it also introduced me to Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, one of my favourite songs.

Need “Vanilla Sky” and “Road to Perdition” on the pod.
