Cruisin’ Together: Special Version Episode 8 – The Cowboy Cruise Cameo Question (and) Cruisin’ Together: 10.5 – Young Guns


(Cruisin’ Together may contain grown-up language)

Chris and Gregg saddle up for a very special “Special Version” episode, joined by “fan since day 2” Jon Thurmond to delve into the mystery of the curious case of the Cruise cowboy cameo in the movie YOUNG GUNS. Amidst talk of the 1980s, Rubik’s products, and witches, they examine roughly 7 seconds of footage to determine if a rumored cameo is indeed Tom Cruise in cowboy disguise.

And if it is Tom Cruise, how do they resolve YOUNG GUNS’ omission from their comprehensive and chronological assessment of Tom Cruise’s filmography?

That comes in the form of an unprecedented point-five episode inside a “Special Version” episode, where Gregg and Chris welcome “fan since day 2” Jon Thurmond to break down YOUNG GUNS, Cruisin’-style – plot recap battle is waged, Top Toms are told, and Cruise Controls are called out in between discussions of Jon Bon Jovi’s YOUNG GUNS 2 soundtrack, unused takes from YOUNG GUNS 2, high-pitch basketball, what’s the best Batman movie, a good bit of music talk and some singing, lot’s of apologies from Gregg, and…recoil!

Not to be outdone, during the break, there’s debate over pie, consideration of John “Bowser” Bowman, Chris ventures to name four listeners, and Gregg brings up another questionable Cruise cameo.
