Digger’s flop drives debate over Tom Cruise’s career and next roles

The Big Picture presents Digger as a divisive return to original dramatic material and plans to assess its satire, relevance, cast, and Cruise’s performance.[1]

The Bill Simmons Podcast calls Digger the biggest bust of the last 2 years and suggests Cruise is now limited to sequels, while Van Lathan says he is not finished.[2]

TBPN discusses Cruise’s GQ cover and interview, while other shows use his earlier roles in jokes or comparisons rather than discussing Digger.[3][4][5]

Other mentions reference Cruise’s roles in Magnolia, Minority Report, and Days of Thunder, or use him as an example in a discussion of older Hollywood stars.[6][7][8]
