Tom Cruise popped on Ray Bans, grabbed a candlestick and shimmied his way to becoming a household name. Yes, 1983's "Risky Business" had more than a few iconic moments (that poor Porsche) along with star-making turns from Cruise and Rebecca DeMornay. Written and directed by Paul Brickman, the $6 million dollar movie was a hit. But now, decades later, is the film's 1980's take on capitalism a little too ... 80s? Is Cruise's Joel too hot to be a nerd? And why can't he masturbate without his fantasies becoming a crime scene? The Old Roommates revisit the hooker-loaded romcom through a middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
