On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it is time to revisit Thomas Cruise Mapother IV. That's right, it's Tom Cruise 2.0. He’s a legend, both as an actor, producer, and now stuntman. He has remained at the top of his game for decades. We discussed his place in the world a few years ago, and now it is time to revisit the Cruise Missile and if he remains the last movie star standing. Followed up by our spoiler-free review of his franchise finale, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning!
Also on this week's podcast: Nostalgia TV returns for S.W.A.T, Buffy, and 7th Heaven, we offer our plan for a Mission Impossible reboot, review of Friendship, Upcoming Attractions, and share thoughts on Hell of a Summer, Duster, and Tom Segura's Bad Thoughts.
