Media Montage 95: Tom Cruise Double Feature - Oblivion (2013) Edge of Tomorrow aka Live, Die, Repeat (2014)

This week Bruce and Larry have a Tom Cruise Science Fiction Double Feature! 

They take a look at Oblivion (2013) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014) aka Live, Die Repeat.   

Both films star Tom Cruise. He's joined in Oblivion by Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborough, and Olga Kurylenko in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a deep mystery at its core. 

Edge of Tomorrow is rounded out by Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson battling for earth's freedom in a war against alien invaders. 

These two films have a lot in common, in that they weren't blockbusters, have some similar themes and are better than their box office receipts might suggest. Time Travel, The Tet, Tower 49, Alpha, Omega and more in episode 95 of the Media Montage Podcast!

From entertainment, the one season NBC show "Dark Skies".

UPDATE from Bruce: For some reason when History Channel reaired "In Search Of...: they recut the open/closing credits. Here is the original, groovy, ultra 70s credits:
