We watched the fabulous film The Talented Mr. Ripley and share our thoughts on the movie and why it should be considered a classic even though it is not that old. We also talk about the risks that were involved for Matt Damon and Jack Davenport when portraying homosexual characters during the 1990s and how it could have effected their career back then. It is one of the few films that manages to succeed in having a great cast, who are all outstanding in their roles whether big or small. We mentioned Damon and Davenport but also how great Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman were in their roles. We both agree that this is Damon's best role to date. This is our last psychological thriller movie, tune in next month as we get into the long awaited Christmas spirit! Guest: Jamal Foster
