A podcast made for (and about) Tom Cruise. Hosts Stephen Kuhn and Parker Smith cruise through Tom's filmography one film at a time, often speaking directly to Tom while reflecting on his life, work, and impact on the art form. Other people who are not Tom are welcome to listen, too, that's fine - we made it for Tom, though.
