Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, from the most trusted journalists.
Speaker 2: At Comedy Central, It's America's only source for news.
Speaker 1: This is The Daily Show with your host Ronny Now,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Daily Show. I'm right, Shay. We got
Speaker 1: so much to talk.
Speaker 3: About tonight, America get some dome Republicans deal with their
Speaker 3: daddy issues, and something associated with Donald Trump went wrong
Speaker 3: for the first time ever. So let's get into the headlines.
Speaker 3: Let's kick things off with President Trump's meeting with the
Speaker 3: President of South Africa today. And because it's Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: things got weird. Death death, horrible death, death. I don't
Speaker 3: know what a host death? Uh death death. Hey do
Speaker 3: you want to diet coke?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Death, horrible death. That's now. The reason Trump turned this
Speaker 3: White House event into a murder podcast is that Trump
Speaker 3: is convinced that there is a white genocide going on
Speaker 3: in South Africa, which of course means there is no
Speaker 3: white genocide happening in South Africa. It's not even mathematically impossible.
Speaker 3: I mean, you'll never run out of white South Africans
Speaker 3: when one of them is making five thousand kids a week.
Speaker 3: But still Trump thinks there is one, and you know
Speaker 3: he cares about it because he said white genocide. It's
Speaker 3: like someone told him, hey, it's not just a genocide,
Speaker 3: it's a white genocide, you know, the bad kind, and
Speaker 3: oh shit, get him in. But don't worry South African President,
Speaker 3: there's a way out of this. Cutter got Trump applane,
Speaker 3: What sweet sweet bribe did you bring him? That brought
Speaker 3: you a really fantastic golf book?
Speaker 4: Where is fourteen kilograms and it showcases the golf courses
Speaker 4: in our country?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you shut that up. You lost Trump at book
Speaker 3: and you you definitely lost him at kilograms. If you
Speaker 3: really want to impress Trump, you should have given him
Speaker 3: one of your golf courses. Then Trump would be like, hell, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 3: white South Africans. If that's even a real thing. Thoughts,
Speaker 3: some prayers. Let's move on from a fake international crisis
Speaker 3: to a real domestic one. If you bought any Trump merchandise,
Speaker 3: I don't want to surprise you, but it might be
Speaker 3: a piece of junk Trump time. A mistake on a
Speaker 3: Donald Trump keepsake might be funny to some, but.
Speaker 5: It wasn't a laughing matter for the couple who paid
Speaker 5: more than six hundred dollars for the Trump branded watch.
Speaker 3: Get your Trump watch right now, go to get Trump
Speaker 3: Watches dot com.
Speaker 1: It's Trump Time.
Speaker 6: Melanie Petnitt likes the style, but it's what this watch
Speaker 6: does not have that makes it stand out.
Speaker 7: I noticed it right away.
Speaker 3: The tea is missing. It just says are unp so
Speaker 3: it should say Trump, should say Trump. It says Trump.
Speaker 3: What a shocking story. I mean, truly, I did not
Speaker 3: expect them to be able to read. And you might
Speaker 3: be thinking, what kind of respectable horological craftsmen of luxury
Speaker 3: timepieces would allow this to happen. Well, it turns out
Speaker 3: watches might just be the side business.
Speaker 2: New ipopping details about Donald Trump's watches, and there's a
Speaker 2: link to viagra honey.
Speaker 7: And this is a product that is borne out of
Speaker 7: a licensing agreements with a company called The Best Watches
Speaker 7: on Earth LLC. There is another company at this business,
Speaker 7: registered at the same address, called the Best Honey on Earth.
Speaker 7: They sell mail enhancement honey, which is exactly what it
Speaker 7: sounds like. It is the product that helps men perform
Speaker 7: in the bedroom.
Speaker 3: Wait, everyone shut up, stop laughing. That's boner honey. This
Speaker 3: changes everything. I mean, I guess this does explain why
Speaker 3: that honey I bought looks so weird, But you know
Speaker 3: Trump's gonna be bathing that like the baron in Dune.
Speaker 3: But I I just hold that those watches have like
Speaker 3: a little warning lab on them, like you do for
Speaker 3: people with not allergies. Like warning. This watch was manufactured
Speaker 3: in a plant that also processes honey. The point is
Speaker 3: when Donald Trump tells you something, you gotta be skeptical.
Speaker 3: And I'm so glad we all learned our lesson un
Speaker 3: don Trump's got something new to sell us.
Speaker 8: This morning, President Trump revealing his plans for a Golden Dome,
Speaker 8: a defense system designed to shield the US for missile attacks.
Speaker 2: The Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even
Speaker 2: if they are launched from other.
Speaker 3: Sides of the world, and even if they're launched from space.
Speaker 8: The Congressional Budget Office says it could cost up to
Speaker 8: five hundred and forty two billion.
Speaker 3: Good news everyone Congress is cutting food stands or getting
Speaker 3: a golden Dome. Yeah, if you're hungry, maybe you can
Speaker 3: try eating it. Quick question, though, where did Trump come
Speaker 3: up with Golden Dome?
Speaker 8: The President has long praised Israel's Iron Dome, which can
Speaker 8: intercept and destroy short range rockets, missiles, and drones.
Speaker 3: We're going to call it the Golden Dome. We had
Speaker 3: the Iron Dome, but somehow golden Dome sounds better to me.
Speaker 3: You know, it takes a special leader to look at
Speaker 3: what's going on in Israel and be like, hey, we
Speaker 3: need to copy those guys, all right, because it's skull
Speaker 3: weighing great. Second of all, I don't think missile defense
Speaker 3: shields work like frequent flyer programs. All right, hey, check
Speaker 3: it out. Our dome just earn gold status. I hope
Speaker 3: China doesn't get a plantinum dome, then they get lounge access.
Speaker 3: And by the way, the post a board he put
Speaker 3: up just raises even more questions, like why is every
Speaker 3: country launching missiles at US? It's starting to look like
Speaker 3: a US problem. But you know what, I guess the
Speaker 3: money is worth it if it's capable of defending all
Speaker 3: of America.
Speaker 8: A missile shield in the US will not be capable
Speaker 8: of defending all of America.
Speaker 2: I'm a missile defense guy, but it's never gonna be
Speaker 2: possible to defend against everything, and so we are gonna
Speaker 2: have to be selective.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to be selective what we're gonna do,
Speaker 3: like what just save New York and LA and what
Speaker 3: the states of good barbecue? Actually? Yeah, yeah that works. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's go with that. The bottom line is it's in trail,
Speaker 3: will be expensive, and it doesn't work. At least we'll
Speaker 3: have a golden dome that says Trump on it off.
Speaker 3: For more on the Golden Dome and whether it's cost effective,
Speaker 3: we go live to Grace cooling spid.
Speaker 1: Grace.
Speaker 3: Grace's uh, let's be honest here, is the Golden Dome
Speaker 3: really worth the price?
Speaker 9: You bet your Asian acid is, Ronnie. Thanks to our big,
Speaker 9: beautiful dome, Americans are finally safe from our enemies, which
Speaker 9: means I'm finally free to become an international roast comic.
Speaker 9: Buckle up for Ronnie and Ayatolas because roast Master Grace

Speaker 9: being named after the worst food on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: Puts up berg on that shit.
Speaker 1: Grace, Grace.
Speaker 3: Isn't this the problem with missile defense shields? It just
Speaker 3: encourages aggression.

Speaker 9: this umbrella, hey, election, shine, lick my ass. France, take
Speaker 9: a shower, Russia? Why aren't you Russian to the shower

Speaker 9: you everything about a demilitarized zone between the buffet table
Speaker 9: and your mouth boom roasted.
Speaker 10: I am immortal, Okay, Okay, Grace, you do know that
Speaker 10: the dome isn't ready yet, right, like it won't be
Speaker 10: active for a while, like like tomorrow it'll be ready.
Speaker 3: No, I like at least three more years at best.
Speaker 9: Oh worth it?
Speaker 3: Oh oh jam.
Speaker 1: Show, she's spine.
Speaker 3: No, thank you, Grace. When we come back, oh man,
Speaker 3: we'll give.
Speaker 1: Us his opinions. It won't go away.
Speaker 11: He's awful.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to a daily show. We all know I've
Speaker 3: got great opinions, but tons of I'm not the only one.
Speaker 3: Studies show that other people also have opinions. So here
Speaker 3: with another installment of in my opinion, is our good
Speaker 3: friend Charlamagne the God. Yes Yes.
Speaker 2: One of the big mysteries of a Trump era is
Speaker 2: how so many Republicans can see everything Trump is doing
Speaker 2: and not saying anything. The blatant corruption disregarding the Constitution,
Speaker 2: that maga masturbation dance, mister President. I don't know who
Speaker 2: you've been jerking off this whole time, but if they
Speaker 2: haven't come by now, they never will. Okay, Look, the
Speaker 2: whole point of a democracy is that the president is
Speaker 2: not an all powerful figure who's always right and can
Speaker 2: never be questioned. That sounds more like a little kid's
Speaker 2: idea of their father. And I think that's the answer.
Speaker 2: Republicans aren't looking for a president, they're looking for a daddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And that's not me just saying it's them.
Speaker 5: There are thousands of people here. They started screaming and
Speaker 5: chanting Daddy's home and Daddy dogs.
Speaker 3: It's like Daddy arrived and he's taking his belt off.
Speaker 3: When Dad gets home, you know what he says. You've
Speaker 3: been a bad girl.
Speaker 2: You've been a bad little girl and you're getting a
Speaker 2: vigorous spanking right now.
Speaker 3: Shut stop throwing stones, straightened up, suckers, Daddy's home.
Speaker 2: What the hell? What the helly, you're fifty four years
Speaker 2: You can't be talking about needing a daddy if you
Speaker 2: have an AARP card. Okay, my god, If you got
Speaker 2: daddy issues, don't go into politics. Become a scripper like
Speaker 2: a normal person. Okay, trippy points you decide. When most
Speaker 2: maga folks say they wanted daddy, what they mean is
Speaker 2: they want somebody to protect him. And that's what Trump
Speaker 2: promises all the time.
Speaker 10: You will once again have a protector in the White House.
Speaker 11: I'm going to be a protector.
Speaker 3: I will protect women at a level never seen before.
Speaker 11: I will protect our workers, I will protect our jobs.
Speaker 10: I will protect our borders, I will protect our families.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trump is protection the same way econdomists like. You
Speaker 2: see him coming and you know you're gonna get fed.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that I don't get about making
Speaker 2: Trump your father figure. If you listen to his own
Speaker 2: family members, he sounds like he's a terrible father.
Speaker 4: He would not really be a dead which would take
Speaker 4: them for the stroll in the Center Park in or
Speaker 4: go and play the soccer with them, or do.
Speaker 1: Something like that.
Speaker 4: He was always on the telephone making the business, supply the.
Speaker 11: Funds, and don't take care of the kids.
Speaker 12: It's not like I'm going to be walking the kids
Speaker 12: down Central Park.
Speaker 5: Donald Trump was never keen on bequeathing his name to anybody.
Speaker 5: It was Evanna who wanted to call their newborn son
Speaker 5: Donald Junior.
Speaker 3: You can't do that.
Speaker 5: Trump is quoted as saying and Havana's memoir, what if
Speaker 5: he's a loser, What if Don Jor.
Speaker 1: Is a loser? I guess those hats are true.
Speaker 2: Trump really is right about everything, Okay, And Daddy Trump
Speaker 2: does something even worse than Insulting's children, he plays favorites
Speaker 2: among them. For instance, here's a fun Christmas story from
Speaker 2: Donald Trump Junior himself.
Speaker 12: I got regifted all of the things that were monogrammed
Speaker 12: for him at times. So you know, there was one
Speaker 12: Christmas where he may or may not have given me
Speaker 12: the gift that I had given him the year before
Speaker 12: because I monogrammed it and it was like, oh yeah, here.
Speaker 2: Now, I'll see if you can spot the subtle difference
Speaker 2: between giving the child he hates a regifted tie and
Speaker 2: what he gives the child he actually likes.
Speaker 6: A great gift that my dad gave me recently is
Speaker 6: an apartment because I'm graduating.
Speaker 3: See see, you see that.
Speaker 2: You thought he only denied housing the black people. Turn
Speaker 2: turns out he also denied it to his son. And
Speaker 2: maybe you're thinking, come on, Trump is proud of all
Speaker 2: his kids equally.
Speaker 11: He's not.
Speaker 12: I'm very proud because Don and Eric and Evanka and
Speaker 12: you know, to a lesser extent because she just got
Speaker 12: out of school, out of college.
Speaker 2: But Tiffany, that's kind of how he's.
Speaker 11: Treating the country, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Like the Red States are Avanka and the Blue States
Speaker 2: we're Tiffany. You see, Trump isn't just any dad. He's
Speaker 2: a particular type of dad.
Speaker 3: The bully.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's great for you know, if you're having problems
Speaker 2: with another kid at school, or immigrants start the President
Speaker 2: of the Ukraine, he'll bully them for you. But the
Speaker 2: thing is a bully dad will bully his own kids too.
Speaker 1: President and Trump has slammed Bolton is a wacko and incompetent,
Speaker 1: calling Rex Tillerson dumb as a rock and Gematis overrated.
Speaker 10: Called Attorney General Judge Sessions mentally retarded, and a dumb Southerner,
Speaker 10: called an morosa, a low life and a dog John
Speaker 10: Kelly Are He's one of the dumbest people I've ever met.
Speaker 3: For stupid generals like Millie who's a stupid person.
Speaker 10: A person known as Nikki Birdbread Haley bird Bread.
Speaker 2: Look, man, if you hate your kid that much, at
Speaker 2: least have the decency to go out with cigarettes and
Speaker 2: never come back.
Speaker 11: Okay, it's okay, we won't miss you.
Speaker 2: And when you have an emotionally unavailable dad, you're constantly
Speaker 2: having to bake for his love. Then you get stuff
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 6: Your entire life, you have stood for doing things that
Speaker 6: other people thought they couldn't do.
Speaker 3: He is the most important, the smartest, the most capable
Speaker 3: leader in the world.
Speaker 12: The greatest negotiator, the greatest deal maker, the greatest diplomat,
Speaker 12: and the greatest peacemaker. Every day is like waking up
Speaker 12: to Christmas.
Speaker 6: President, your first one hundred days has far exceeded that
Speaker 6: of any other presidency in this country ever, ever, never
Speaker 6: seen anything like it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Yes, you're damn right. We've never seen Dick
Speaker 2: riding like this. Okay, all right, this is unprecedented lazing,
Speaker 2: all right, our at least is weird to talk about
Speaker 2: a president this way, but an emotionally abusive father, and
Speaker 2: it's very normal.
Speaker 3: Some of you know the drill.
Speaker 2: You stay on daddy's good side because you know when
Speaker 2: he has a bad day, he's putting belt to ask.
Speaker 2: All right, But Republicans, the paraphrase the immortal Mariy Povich,
Speaker 2: he is not your father.
Speaker 11: Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: If you see him stepping out of line, accepting bribes
Speaker 2: from foreign countries and violating the Constitution, call it out.
Speaker 2: Because the truth is America doesn't need a daddy. It
Speaker 2: needs to grow up and not be a damn child itself.
Speaker 2: But that's just my opinion.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean to god, everybody when we come back,
Speaker 3: so I don't tell what we join you on the shows.
Speaker 1: That's that's welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 3: My guest tonight is a screenwriter, comedian, an actor who
Speaker 3: stars in the film Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. Oh
Speaker 3: my God, please welcome mister Simon Pegg.
Speaker 1: I love you. I'm wonderful. I love you that you
Speaker 1: start mind. You're great. I am very touch in a
Speaker 1: good way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for coming on the show.
Speaker 11: My pleasure.
Speaker 3: What's tough for making the movie or doing the press afterwards?
Speaker 11: Man, you're you've been on the press store for four months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I don't know what day.
Speaker 3: I really don't know. All over the world right Yeah.
Speaker 13: We started in Tokyo, soul Can, London here and this
Speaker 13: is my last engagement.
Speaker 11: What a way to end the tour. Thanks for comedy, Yeah,
Speaker 11: my pleasures.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about one thing though, maybe the
Speaker 3: only thing we might have in common is, uh, you
Speaker 3: used to do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I did back
Speaker 3: in the day, live performer, stand up comedy in these
Speaker 3: bars I did. I used to do the Edinburgh Festival
Speaker 3: to do, Yeah, we were just I was at the Underbelly?
Speaker 11: Did you have that? Flyers all day long.
Speaker 3: Hand out begging people come into your show and then
Speaker 3: maybe three people will calm and you're in this in
Speaker 3: this makeshift cave with like mold and espectos and you're
Speaker 3: doing calm. There are three people, and then you you
Speaker 3: go watch other people's shows and you drink all night
Speaker 3: and wake up next day and you do all again
Speaker 3: like a month.
Speaker 11: It's like a mon an amazing, amazing festival.
Speaker 3: What's hard at that firstival? Mission? Impassable? Do you remember
Speaker 3: the mission I do?
Speaker 11: I did? I did Edinburgh ninety five and I had
Speaker 11: a little little show.
Speaker 13: I had my goldfish with me and he was called Rover,
Speaker 13: and I would perform poetry on behalf of my goldfish,
Speaker 13: Rover who who was a Marxist, and I actually would
Speaker 13: take the real fish with me. It took me like
Speaker 13: a year to realize I could just put a carrot
Speaker 13: in there and no one would know, you know, but
Speaker 13: yeah it was great. And then as a result of that,
Speaker 13: I got a tour of Australia and you know, it
Speaker 13: opens a lot of doors.
Speaker 11: Edinburgh, A lot of people are there.
Speaker 3: Right and then you go from that Edinburgh, which I
Speaker 3: was also, But my point is like you're with your
Speaker 3: goldfish in this small little room, in this closet, and
Speaker 3: then you're in mission impassible.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it was a little you know, I
Speaker 11: mean along the way. Yeah, I did some. I did
Speaker 11: stand up. I always wanted to be an actor.
Speaker 13: I did a stand up coming out of university because
Speaker 13: it was a way to perform. I loved comedy and
Speaker 13: I didn't have an agent, so I you know, standard
Speaker 13: was a great way to be the master of my own.
Speaker 3: Sure, not waiting for the phone to ring.
Speaker 13: Then and then through stand up I got into sort
Speaker 13: of sketch comedy. And then I wrote a sitcom with
Speaker 13: my friend Jessica, which Edgar Wright directed, called Space, and
Speaker 13: then Seanna the Dead happened, and then.
Speaker 3: The great Edgar right, Yeah, the great Three Flavors Corneto trilogy,
Speaker 3: starting with Sean of the Dead, which was a kind
Speaker 3: of I think landmark independent comedy. I mean was it independent?
Speaker 13: I mean very yeah. I mean we shot that script around.
Speaker 13: We decided we had a little moment in Space where
Speaker 13: I was fighting zombies and go and I were like, hey,
Speaker 13: we should make a zombie movie.
Speaker 11: I mean, we were so naive, you know, we thought, yeah,
Speaker 11: let's just do that now.
Speaker 13: And we and we wrote the script and we took
Speaker 13: it around and it took a long time for someone
Speaker 13: to actually take a risk, and eventually working title whose
Speaker 13: parent company was Universal, they sort of stepped in and
Speaker 13: we got it made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was I mean quite a label of
Speaker 3: love absolutely.
Speaker 13: I mean, my god, I you know, I was such
Speaker 13: a fan of George Romero growing up. The best moment
Speaker 13: was when George Romero, who is the godfather of the
Speaker 13: modern zombie film, watched Sean of the Dead in a
Speaker 13: cinema in Florida guarded by a Universal security guard like
Speaker 13: he was going to steal our movie, when the whole
Speaker 13: movie was just us stealing his way. And he called
Speaker 13: us afterwards and it was like speaking to dad, you know,
Speaker 13: it was incredible.
Speaker 3: Let's go. And I mean, you know, that's such such
Speaker 3: a triumph of independent comedy filmmaking. And you know, we
Speaker 3: look at one in twenty twenty five right now, and
Speaker 3: we kind of look back on films with a lot
Speaker 3: of nostalgia, sometimes roast into glasses. I mean, do you
Speaker 3: feel that was a moment in time. Is that replicatable
Speaker 3: or we.
Speaker 13: It's difficult because back then, in two thousand and four,
Speaker 13: we still went at the point we are now when
Speaker 13: there are so many different ways to watch movies, like
Speaker 13: now we all have you know that right aspect ratio
Speaker 13: for movies, and our houses are t are all you know,
Speaker 13: the right size, they're big, they're not that expensive.
Speaker 11: We have all the streamers.
Speaker 13: The pandemic taught us that you can stay home and
Speaker 13: watch movies, and that was a terrible lesson to learn,
Speaker 13: because you know, what's better than watching a movie with
Speaker 13: a whole group in this time, at the moment when
Speaker 13: we're all at each other's throats.
Speaker 11: A movie theater is a place where you can all.
Speaker 13: Go and you can have a huge kind of political
Speaker 13: kind of gulf between everyone in there, and yet you
Speaker 13: will all experience the same emotions and you will share
Speaker 13: them and it brings people together.
Speaker 11: You know it's important.
Speaker 3: It does. And I will say, no one hear they
Speaker 3: do not. They disagree, but I will say the one
Speaker 3: thing about that is completely true. And all it takes
Speaker 3: is one really cool film to get people out again,
Speaker 3: and then you remember what it's like exactly. I forgot
Speaker 3: for a while and time when I go watch a
Speaker 3: film again, I was say, oh, yeah, this is great.
Speaker 3: This is a one way that they're watching it on
Speaker 3: my toilet. On the mission impossible on your toilet is
Speaker 3: just blow the toilet, although I would advise you being
Speaker 3: on a toilet watching this particular mission impossible because it is.
Speaker 3: It does kind of regulus. I don't know, you talk
Speaker 3: about security with Josh Morrel, then they're on me for this.
Speaker 3: I can't give away any spoiler. I'm scared to talk
Speaker 3: about this so much.
Speaker 11: Movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know what we can say about it.
Speaker 13: Tom Cruise has a sniper on me twenty four to
Speaker 13: seven in case I spoiled the.
Speaker 3: Movie, I mean I can. I guess I'll keep talking
Speaker 3: until someone drags me away, I guess. But I mean
Speaker 3: the movie. Is this current mission possible? The Final Reckoning
Speaker 3: Part two? I guess, yeah, right, and it is. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's so many callbacks. It ties into all the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Chris mcquarie has the director did a really good job
Speaker 13: of sort of like gathering the all eight movies and
Speaker 13: kind of like making this one the culmination of all
Speaker 13: of them. You know, so every choice Ethan hunt has
Speaker 13: made through all the years leads to this. My first
Speaker 13: scene in Mission Impossible three, which I filmed twenty years ago.
Speaker 11: This year, I extole the myth.
Speaker 13: Of this thing called the Rabbit's Foot, and mcke you know,
Speaker 13: very artfully managed to pull all that into it, you know,
Speaker 13: and it makes the whole thing feel very contained, and
Speaker 13: you know, it feels like an end.
Speaker 3: I mean, it calls back to even the first Mission Passes.
Speaker 11: Which is pretty interesting.
Speaker 13: Knife can we even say you say that because the
Speaker 13: trailer anything in the trailer, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, it calls like the first line,
Speaker 3: so it really ties in everything. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 3: got asked like when you're on you know, Mission pass
Speaker 3: was kind of like the flagship movie franchise right now,
Speaker 3: when you're on it, is it because you went you know,
Speaker 3: you've normally seen edinburd you've seen independent filmmaking when you're
Speaker 3: trying to get enough money to get a camera rolling,
Speaker 3: but a Mission Passport where it's just like just take money,
Speaker 3: just keep spending money, like you see that, what would
Speaker 3: do you see struggle on that or it's just like
Speaker 3: just whatever it takes to get this thing.
Speaker 13: These two movies we were supposed to finish sooner, but
Speaker 13: the and of course we had the pandemic, and then
Speaker 13: we had the writers strike and we were sort of
Speaker 13: you know, we were we were it was a mission impossible,
Speaker 13: if you will, to get these films made. But yeah,
Speaker 13: the the eye of the storm is always the same.
Speaker 13: It's it's you, it's the actors, it's the camera crew,
Speaker 13: it's the sort of camera adjacent departments, and it always
Speaker 13: feels the same. It's just everything that surrounds it gets
Speaker 13: bigger on on on big films, like the sets get bigger,
Speaker 13: and mission is all about practical, like like Tom does
Speaker 13: all of that stuff, Like what I mean, I watched
Speaker 13: it again the other night and I'm just thinking, what,
Speaker 13: you know, he's hanging off a biplane.
Speaker 1: How the what?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like zero gravity in between two.
Speaker 11: It looks like he's you know, that's him.
Speaker 13: He just will risk his life for I shan't risk
Speaker 13: my life for anything other than my daughter.
Speaker 3: I know, he really does risk it. And there's also
Speaker 3: something with Tom Cruise films lately. I think that where
Speaker 3: he's really brought this like analogue. I don't know, can
Speaker 3: you describe what that? You know that love of movie
Speaker 3: making is that he gets this look on this feel.
Speaker 13: I think it's because we've entered a fantastic age with
Speaker 13: digital you know, cgi that kind of thing, and we
Speaker 13: can create any environment, any planet, and we see that
Speaker 13: in all sorts of movies, and it's wonderful and it's
Speaker 13: a great tool. But there is no substitute for seeing
Speaker 13: the actor playing the part doing the crazy stuff, because
Speaker 13: that way, the character never disappears, like when you when
Speaker 13: you hand over to a stunt professional, it's about the
Speaker 13: stunt and the.
Speaker 11: Character sort of disappears a little bit. But you can see.
Speaker 13: There's a bit when he's trying to get into the
Speaker 13: back cockpit of this plane and the wind hits him.
Speaker 3: They just fills his head with air.
Speaker 13: It's the most unflattering picture of Tom Cruise you will
Speaker 13: ever see.
Speaker 3: He just got right. But he does that. But he
Speaker 3: also stays in character, which is crazy because he's hanging
Speaker 3: off a plane.
Speaker 11: In Dead Reckoning.
Speaker 13: There's a bit when I'm in the car as I usual,
Speaker 13: I'm always just telling him what to do.
Speaker 1: He jumps up the.
Speaker 13: Cliff on a motorbike and he's base jumping as free falling,
Speaker 13: and I say, are you on the train yet and
Speaker 13: he says, I'm trying to get away from this mountain,
Speaker 13: and he delivers a joke infreeball, you know, with comedytarming.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's very impressive.
Speaker 3: It is very cool. The movie is very cool. Thank
Speaker 3: you so much for making the movie. Thank you for
Speaker 3: everything you've done the day. Thank you, thank you, thank
Speaker 3: you for showing your talent with the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody, this year possible. A final recording will.
Speaker 3: Be in theaters and Imax on May twenty third.
Speaker 1: It's I intact, everybody. We'll be a thirst clock break.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back after this.

Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 1: Nay, that's a show for tonight now here. It is
Speaker 1: your moment of.
Speaker 3: Ben We need an air Force one until our sets.
Speaker 2: Air Force one.
