episode 58: Secrets From Tom Cruise’s Death-Defying Stunts Revealed!
This episode should be titled “Mission Insanity” because it’s all about exploring how Tom Cruise performs his own death-defying stunts…and why!
Jason and Peter were determined to find out the real reason Tom “risks it all” in every film. How he trains for a stunt that’s never been done before? How he’s able to get insurance? And whether he’s going to continue to try and outdo himself with each new film now that he’s in his 60’s!

He’s also a fixed wing & helicopter pilot, sky diver, rescue scuba diver, accomplished black belt martial artist, boxer, fencer, yacht skipper, highly graded horse rider who has advanced weapons skills… plus he races cars internationally, with a string of wins!
