That Thing You Do!

I wonder what happened to the Wonders? Tom Hanks wrote and directed exactly one movie, and it's a perfect little ode to the one-hit wonder. We get into Lenny's endless quotables (shoutout to "Alone in My Principles"), whether that song is actually fast or just an "up-tempo number," Faye putting Jimmy in his place, the extended cut's extra 40 minutes, and the absolute worst sandwich in cinema history. Plus: could this movie even exist in the age of TikTok and AI music? Do yourself a favor and change your shoes.
