Let's pretend this was a normal shoot and Tom Cruise isn't a complete psychopath.

[@readhistory2023]

Peggy Carter AKA Agent Carter was based on a real WW2 spy named Virginia Hall. The first season of Agent Carter is almost Hall's bio. Virgina Hall later later helped found the CIA.

Ali Plumb is by far the best interviewer in the world. No one, not a single other journalist or host can make an interview look as natural, effortless, genuine and at the same time interesting, truly captivating. Hayley is always terrific too. This was 13 minutes of my life I would never want to have back.

[@praneethadivi4706]

Absolutely agreed!

[@jimapplebee5322]

Could not agree more. For me, it's Ali's ability to joke & have a good time with these celebrities like he's known them forever & always ask them great, interesting questions. Way too many interviewers try to get humor, but it ends up being cringey. Ali makes it feel organic & natural, like a conversation with an old friend. I've never met anyone famous, so I'd probably end up looking like a babbling, stuttering fanboy just running into them on the street, let alone trying to have a coherent conversation.

[@xtinasui]

"I don't know you, you're not my friend, we don't hang out, I've nothing to do with your family or anything like that, I was oddly weirdly proud, it was just so awesome to see what you did in this" is one of the nicest thing said by Ali Plumb. I love it

[@Optimusprime809]

When Ali said "I don't know you, we're not friends", a little part of me died inside, because they ought to be best friends now!

[@ChrisColeChicago]

But it's exactly what he should have said, to emphasize the next part. Being insanely proud of someone you don't know is a little stalkery and a little human-in-the-best-possible-way. We reserve that intensity of feeling for people we know when, in actuality, it's not uncommon to feel it for strangers performing onscreen or onstage. It's not mean or condescending to feel proud of someone you have seen go from costume drama to MCU to M:I movies, but it does feel a bit strange. Kind of like you might be overstepping a boundary.

It was ironic, they are really close friends actually so that’s why he was so proud of her

@@nataliarodriguez6251 Sarcastic, not Ironic. Yes they do know each other well. To be able to have rapport like that, where they're almost finishing off each others sentences (and seamlessly pulling off the Labyrinth Skit) they would have to have known each other very well, and you can't be proud of someone (not even oddly or weirdly) unless you do know them very well.
