Critically panned and sitting at a lowly 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, James Mangold’s Knight and Day has long been dismissed as a box office misfire. Even with A-listers Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, the action-comedy-romance couldn’t escape harsh reviews. But in this episode of our Rewatch & Reconsider series, we ask the big question: does Knight and Day deserve the hate?


Join us as we dive deep into what works (and what doesn’t) in this misunderstood 2010 movie, serving up some unexpected praise, and a few theories about its critical failure. Plus, we cover the latest entertainment news—AI in Hollywood, Tom Cruise’s honorary Oscar buzz, and more.
