Tom Cruise 2.0, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, Friendship, Nostalgia TV Again

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.
