Ever wondered how Tom Cruise manages to defy both age and gravity consistently? We cover all of this and more. We're unpacking the glittering career of this beloved action star, from dissecting his breathtaking stunts in movies like Mission Impossible and Top Gun to understanding his knack for picking successful projects. Into his 5th decade of moviemaking, we pick our favourite decade of his films and don't decide on the same one. He has worked with great directors such as Scorsese, Spielberg, Pollack, Reiner and Mann. Although mainly used as a leading  man he has had a few eye catching minor roles, but do any of those make our list of favourite performances? He won 3 Golden Globe awards and Matt has to guess what they were as well as a running themed quiz. Also featuring in this episode is how we believe that we brought down Woolworths, underrated guitarists, dressing room demands before a show, plunge pool stories and Matt's lovely wedding plans. Did Tom Cruise save cinema after COVID? Listen and make your own mind up, but be warned. After listening to it, this podcast will self destruct in 5 seconds.
