Meeting Tom Cruise Alek Lev & Douglas Matejka

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 Cruise Affection; the woman who turned Meeting Tom Cruise into an art form; the woman who will always and forever know him simply as Tommy. We are honored, thrilled – and clearly a little giddy – to have with us: the great Rosie O’Donnell.

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 is to know about Impossible series, and Jeff and Joel… they… uh… have also seen those movies.

… and of course listen to their show on APPLE PODCASTS.

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.
