Hosts Jeff Meacham (Black•ish) and Joel Johnstone (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) love Tom Cruise. They are inspired by Tom Cruise. But they’ve never met Tom Cruise. So, they’re going to bring on some celebrity guests who have. This weekly podcast will feature incredible, personal stories about meeting the legendary star, and maybe one of those stories will lead Jeff and Joel to The Man himself so that one day, they will have stories of their own. Stories of meeting Tom Cruise. It’s not… impossible.

Tom Cruise has returned to save movie theaters once again by delivering another perfect movie: Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. We compare Dead Reckoning to other "part one" movies from this summer (especially Fast & Furious, over and over), talk about how the movie nails the blend of returning and new characters, and revel in the fra…

For the first time in four years, Tom Cruise has felt the need... the need to make a new movie! He's back with Top Gun: Maverick, and we're here to cover it in full spoilery detail. We talk about Tom Cruise's triumphant return to movies in a role that seems to reflect back on his career and in a movie that seamlessly continues the story from 36 yea…

For this final episode of Season One of Meeting Tom Cruise, Jeff is thinking about the importance of underwear in the Cruise filmography. We’re sorry. We answer the question, “What have you learned this season?” (Hint: We have learned nothing this season.) And as our guest, we have the woman who broke open the doors for Public Displays of Tom Cruis…

That time Anthony Anderson met Martin Scorsese. That time Anthony Anderson met James Earl Jones. That time Anthony Anderson met Eddie Murphy.

It’s four hosts… two podcasts… and one obsession. On this crossover episode of Meeting Tom Cruise, Jeff and Joel talk with Drew Taylor and Charles Hood, hosts of the long-running LIGHT THE FUSE podcast, a show about all things Mission Impossible. To call this just a deep dive is an insult to deep things and divers. Drew and Charles know all there i…

It’s the episode no one asked for but everyone’s gonna get! After (kinda) answering this week’s question -- Which role that Cruise turned down would you like to have seen him play? -- the guys take a deep dive into shallow waters, learning about what Joel Johnstone and Alek Lev were doing right up until the moment when they never met Tom Cruise. Fo…

Let’s just put it this way: Marc started talking, and even BEFORE he told us about the time he met Tom Cruise on the set of KNIGHT AND DAY, we had ALREADY decided that this episode would be Nothin’ but Blucas. (And yes, that’s a “nothin’ but net” reference, which is appropriate for someone whose best man was San Antonio Spur’s Hall-of-Famer Tim Dun…

Episode 117: (Part 1) Eyes Wide Shut the Front Door – with Vinessa Shaw It took Stanley Kubrick and Tom Cruise four hundred record-breaking days to film EYES WIDE SHUT, and it’s gonna take Jeff, Joel, and Alek two episodes to figure it all out.

Jeff and the guys prattle on about Tom on trains or something, and then ask the penetrating question, what’s the saddest Cruise? But NONE OF THAT MATTERS. This week’s guest - who was a surprise to Jeff and Joel until the moment the interview began - is CRAIG O’BRIEN who is, actually, in fact, no kidding, the guy who filmed Cruise’s HALO jump in Mis…

Jeff’s been thinking about the crazy stories which he “learned about” on the internet that happened on the Days of Thunder shoot; We ask the least useful question yet, “If you could interview a dead person who has met Tom Cruise, who would it be?”; We speak with Vicki Kelleher about her time working with these two guys named Steven and Tom on this …

Jeff’s been thinking about Kyra Sedgwick this week, though we desperately try to get him to focus on Mr. Cruise (we fail); We answer the question: What is the funniest Cruise? Hint: Jeff is wrong and Alek is writing these show notes; We speak and sign with Anthony Natale, who played the Man in the Elevator in Jerry Maguire, and is the forest to spe…

Meeting Tom Cruise exists because the great Dan Patrick took a shot on a bunch o’ rabble rousin’ Cruistastic Cruisinators who had nothin’ but an undiagnosed obsession and an inconsequential dream. On this Very Special Episode, we sit down with Dan Patrick to find out just how much he regrets his decision. And we even get a Meeting Tom Cruise story …

On this (relatively unedited) bonus episode, we lament the loss of the great Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, along with the entire Arclight theater chain. We discuss the new release dates of Top Gun: Maverick, Mission Impossible: 7, and Mission Impossible: 8. We hope you enjoy our Cruise News while enduring this inexcusable hiatus.

Westward chronicles the history of basketball in the NBA and how the city of Los Angeles not only saved the fledgling league by bringing the Lakers from Minneapolis, but gave birth to the modern NBA with “Showtime.” Told through the lens of Jerry West, who helped build the dynasty of the Lakers, “Westward” now follows the former Hall Of Famer as he…

Jeff’s thinking about Joel’s dream; we prove that our listeners are the greatest in pod-dom; we sit down with series co-creator/host/lunatic Jeff Meacham to try to understand what makes him tick (and prove that even a broken clock can be wrong twice a day); and we give special thanks to our friends who break all the rules of Hollywood and do actual…

Jeff’s thinking about old timey video rental joints; we write the first draft of Cruise’s space movie (hint: it involves space garbage, a broken Moon, and a frogadillo); Cruise impersonator Evan Ferrante blows our minds with his CruisePressions, and shares his own story of meeting Tom Cruise. Follow Evan on Instagram at @nottomcruiseofficial. And o…

Jeff’s thinking about some new Cruise cake intel; we dive deep into Cruise’s characters’ daddy issues; Cousin Sal tells us about that time that Tom Cruise and his mother came to football Sunday at the home of Cousin’s Sal’s cousin Jimmy Kimmel and adjudicated a dispute between Sal and roastmaster Jeff Ross, with Sarah Silverman and Adam Corolla loo…

Follow Sarah on Instagram and Twitter. And check o…

This week, Jeff Meacham is thinking about LEGEND, which is not something that even Jeff Meacham likes to think about; the gang debates the perks and perils of fame, and comes damn close to thinking about the needs of others, but only for a moment; Creator of ONE DAY AT A TIME Gloria Calderón Kellitt remembers her days working for Cameron Crowe, the…

Somehow we haven’t been cancelled yet, and so this week, Jeff Meacham is thinking about just how yoked TC was in the early days; the trio debates Cruise’s decades-long Oscar snubbing; and we bring you our interview with the great and powerful Malin Akerman, who starred in ROCK OF AGES as the journalist who knows her way around a pool table, Constan…

At long last, the time has come to (once again) don our tuxedos and roll out the red carpet. Welcome to The Cruisies: The Tom Cruise Awards! All podcast long, we’ve talked about our favorite (and least favorite) parts of Tom Cruise’s movies, and we announced our official selections for the best and worst of what Tom Cruise’s filmography has to offe…

Before we take a few weeks off to let the votes tally up for the Cruisies (The Tom Cruise Awards), we're working our way through one more episode, and we're ranking Tom Cruise's movies. As always, there's a weird alchemy here that doesn't quite make sense, as we combine the movie's "quality" with Cruise's performance, add a dash of how much we like…

We may have covered every movie that stars or features Tom Cruise, but there's a whole body of work that he's done that we haven't covered. Welcome to the Tom Cruise Clip Show! In this episode, we're working our way through a cameo appearances in movies and TV shows, as well as some stunt videos and late night appearances that surfaced on YouTube. …

We've watched and podcasted about all 42 movies that Tom Cruise has made so far. Each episode, we've talked about our favorite and least favorite moments, and we've ended each episode by nominating that movie for awards that showcase the very best (and very worst) that Tom Cruise's filmography has to offer. We've pared down our lists, and -- at lon…

It's all led to this. Not only is Mission: Impossible - Fallout the final installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise (so far), but it also marks the final movie in Tom Cruise's filmography (also, so far). All we can say is... what a way to go out! We're joined by Zack DeZon to HALO jump out of a plane and talk about all the action, excitement…

We're running drugs, guns, and "freedom fighters" from Arkansas to Nicaragua to Panama -- and back again -- as we take off and chat about American Made! We're, ahem, running out of runway on #CruiseClub, with only one more movie to cover after American Made (a little indie called Mission: Impossible - Fallout), but we're going out in style as Cruis…

While the Dark Universe never came to fruition, we'll always have The Mummy. But is Tom Cruise the Mummy? By the end of the movie, the answer is unclear. The world may never know what this ragtag bunch of misfits' series of adventures would entail, but joining us to talk about the first installment is Kate Hudson (#HudsonFive). In this episode, we …

Aside from the Mission: Impossible series, Tom Cruise isn't one to dabble in sequels, which makes Jack Reacher: Never Go Back all the more unusual. Based on the 18th (!!!) novel in the series, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back feels like a much later entry in the franchise than a first sequel. How could the creative team possibly be out of ideas already?…

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation has to do some serious heavy lifting, far more so than any other movie in the franchise. Not only does it have to tell an engaging, standalone story, but it's asked to follow the events of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol more closely than any previous installment has done, while also setting things up for Mis…

It's truly a shame that Edge of Tomorrow didn't do well in theaters -- so poorly, in fact, that it was later retitled Live Die Repeat -- because it's one of Tom Cruise's best movies yet. With the benefit of hindsight (as well as tastes that almost perfectly align with what this movie's trying to do), we're able to see Edge of Tomorrow as the master…

One year before Tom Cruise starred in Edge of Tomorrow (and blew our collective minds), he found himself in another big-budget sci-fi movie: Oblivion. The finished product doesn't quite hold up as well as his next film will, but there's a lot to admire here, and even more to pick apart. We're joined by Matt Delhauer (The Ginger Geek Podcast) to tal…

Jack Reacher is a by the book action thriller. Jack Reacher is an action movie that subverts your every expectation. What *is* Jack Reacher? We're trying to figure out why the latest new franchise for Tom Cruise works as well as it does, almost in spite of the overwhelming odds its script hurls against it. We also talk about the palpable sexual ten…

Rock of Ages marks the beginning of the end for #CruiseClub, in a way. For the final time (to date, anyway), Tom Cruise is not the star of a movie. Joining us to talk about all of the chaos of Rock of Ages are both of the co-hosts of The Contenders: Aislinn Addington and Tobin Addington. In this episode, we talk about the many types of chaos in the…

Going from Mission: Impossible – Ultra Lite (Knight and Day) to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol offers one of the more eye-opening turnarounds in #CruiseClub so far. The latest installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise (to this point in the podcast's timeline, anyway) may mark both the franchise's high-water mark, as well as the podcast…

What if Ethan Hunt had to drag you along while on a mission to save the world? Does Ethan Hunt (or, in this case, "Ethan Hunt") ever truly go rogue? Should you trust a stranger? What if that stranger looks and acts like Tom Cruise? What if Gal Gadot shows up out of nowhere? These are just some of the many questions Knight and Day asks, and we're de…

We continue our journey through the "lesser known" portion of #CruiseClub with Valkyrie, a movie where Tom Cruise tries to kill Adolf Hitler. Joining us to talk about this film is John Brooks, fresh off his appearance last week on our Toy Story 2 episode on #HANX for the Memories! We discuss Cruise's portrayal of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, how…

Four of the next five movies we're covering in #CruiseClub -- Tropic Thunder, Valkyrie, Knight and Day, and Rock of Ages -- along with our last episode (Lions for Lambs) represent most of the biggest unknowns (to us, anyway) for the rest of #CruiseClub. Tropic Thunder continues this mini-run with a very uncommon role for Tom Cruise: supporting acto…

By this point in Tom Cruise's career -- we're barely over a decade away from catching up -- there are very few surprises left. We've seen (and love!) just about everything that's coming up for the rest of this show's run. Then, there's Lions for Lambs, a movie neither of us had ever seen, and neither of us knew anything about. What a world this is …
