What do you think Tom Cruise & David Miscavige are like behind the camera?
David Miscavige seems like he'd be CREEPY AF!
Like, serial killer creepy.
& as for Tom I get the feelin he's a dick. I've heard many stories about him being an ABSOLUTE A**HOLE
Overly complimentary of one another. Each wants to be the other. Idk, not gonna say what I truly believe cause I'm afraid of literally getting into trouble.
😊
Ha ha, I just noticed the similarity between Alfred E. Neuman and DM.
Individually a-holes. Together I’m quite sure they are fine.
I don’t see how the could fit both of their egos into the same space.
It’s always sad that people know of bad people but only feel it or acknowledge it when it’s happening to them
So supportive of all of you who are speaking out. I was raised in a different cult religion and am very grateful for the moment I chose to leave. When you finally see the truth you can't unsee it and that's a real freedom.
, Mormon??
Andrew, you are a natural interviewer. You have a wonderful way of talking to people, & you're really good at listening. You ask good questions to get people comfortable with opening up,and you dont talk over them. Thanks for yet another great video.👍 Much ❤ to you and yours from Nashville, TN USA 🇺🇸
Agree Andrew is excellent
I couldn't agree with you more.
A natural Pattern Benatar ✨
I absolutely agree with your statement 👌
Great interview, Andrew. I appreciate your innate ability to listen without judgement.
"I came to make a movie and stayed for 28 years." Priceless statement! More seriously, it sounds like he was in a dark and lost space and Scientology, (for him) filled his "need" at the time. Cults often recruit the vulnerable as they are easy targets. Sad really.
I liked him as the bad guy in the truman show
LOL, its li,e I came for the coffee but stayed for the eggs lol 😆
LRH was an abusive jerk! I hate it when people make him out to be some great guy. He wrote the policies. He threw people off his ship. ( literally). He abused his wives, his children etc. He was money hungry jerk who didn’t care about anybody.
Agree with you.Cant stand this lousy actor, what is his name again?? Cruise or something.H...him
No he wasn’t Scientology was brought out for the good of people they were infiltrated by the CIA and MK Ultra now they are evil
I believe he was friendly with A Crowley too. Sick bastard.
@@jamesoneill2933 Yes he was and another occultist Jack Parson. LRH had lived with Jack and his girlfriend Sara. LRH and Sara took off together and later married in 1946.
I’m sure people believe the bull that’s spewed out about everything 🤷♀️nothing is as we’ve been told #researchiskey
I like Mitch very much. Nice way of talking about his experiences. Genuine and humble.
I have to say that I really respect the journey of this man, from drug addict to cult addict, to final, personal, and creative freedom. His wisdom has been hard-won and well worth listening to.
This is one of the best Scientology interviews I've seen. Thanks!
Thank you Andrew for sharing some of Mitch’s story with all of us. 💗
Very interesting listening Andrew. Thank You
Great Work too😊
"Scientology, Mormons & Jehovah's Witnesses, the big three." It was really when all the Scientology stuff started coming out that I realized I needed to get out of the Mormon church.
They are all strikingly similar. Offer hope and love bomb to hook you in. But try to leave and be ready to have your life destroyed.
Sadly, there's many more. Why these cults are allowed, I don't understand (outside of corruption).
I grew up a Jehovah's Witness, but I never considered it a cult. When I was 18 I decided to leave the church and no one was following me, or harassing me. Sure the elders talked to me to ask me if I was really sure, but after I stated yes I was never harassed or pressured. Until today I am still friends with some that still are in the church. I think there are just real fanatics out there which you have in every religion. There are even fanatic Christians. So I would not really call it a cult if you can leave when you please and chose to do so.
@@patrickprus6865 you mustn’t have been baptised. Because that is absolutely not the procedure for someone that is. And if you were, you were very very lucky, because they ask that question and if you say you no longer wish to be a Jw, they announce that you are no longer one with zero details as to whether you’ve been disfellowshipped or disassociated. Therefore your family, and friends, unless you go back against your will, can never ever talk to you again.
@@newdawnfades263 like I stated there are fanatics that take the rules too literally and magnify them. Your friends and family are told not to speak to you anymore as they see people that leave the faith as bad influence. But they cannot prohibit you to speak to your friends and family. If for example one is leaving the faith and the family continues to have contact with them, they do not get into trouble for that. It's a recommendation not a law that everyone has to obey by. I think culture also plays an influence as I see for example Latin Jehovah's Witnesses to be even stricter. Again I speak only for Jehovah's Witnesses. I have heard from friends that belonged to Scientology of being harassed.
Helpful - his story helps us to see how many vulnerable people get caught up in the nonsense.
Really enjoyed this interview, it makes a change to get some fresh information on Scientology. Andrew your pleasant as always 😊☺️
This interview is fantastic. I love Mitch as a guest 👍
Mitched is married honey
@@michael-4k4000 it says “as a guest”
@@cathy_clarinet ehhmmm, we will see.... got my eye on you cathy..... don't go rocking the Henry house....
Having a chuckle at the similarity between Alfred E. Neuman and DM.

What a great interview! Please have him back! 😊
That picture of Savage Miscavage looks like
Alfred E Newman on the
Madd Magazine
Mitch nails it. People are complex and they aren't just one thing. We've all seen and met people who can be charming one minute and horrible the next.
Think about it, if Tommy Davis had just responded to Leah Remini with a polite lie instead of being an asshole, she may have never left Scientology, started The Aftermath, and helped become a driving force for taking down this cult.
Yes, so true. Well thank god he did. And thank goodness she did. And never stopped pushing for her answers.
So glad the “Keebler elf”, met his match. And not in size.Lol. Leah stomped on him, and never looked back. Bless her. And all those who followed in her path. To rid our world, from the evils of Scientology. One cult member at a time. 😂
It would have happened regardless. It was destined to happen.
He still NEEEEEDs help.
Laurisse, if you read this, just think about this: When will you end up on a “behavior modification program” in a remote confidential location, with a new hot little honey acting as Miscavige’s “Communicator”? Wake up.
Very interesting. In Atlanta Scientologists seemed to spend their lives selling flowers on busy roads in the 70s and 80s
Also, Mitch Brisker is a delightfully nuanced guest, look forward to seeing more of him! Wish him healing. 🙏
Just finished the "Going Clear" audiobook last week. It continues to mystify me how people get sucked in by this. I think Battlestar Galactica (the reboot, not the original) had the better plot line for this. If Hubbard had to invent something, better he would have gone with that idea, instead of all this nonsense about volcanos, Xenu and audits.
We see it all at once so it’s clear to us but unfortunately most is hidden from them!!!! We probably know more about Scientology then most Scientologists!!! 🤦♀️
Crazy insidious crap isn’t it!!??
Ugh I want to rescue them allll and some don’t even realize they need rescuing 😢
People want to gain control in their lives and solve their problems
Many folks choose to find shortcuts
Welcome to the cult
I remember the first time I heard about scientology and going clear. Judy Norton who played Mary Ellen on the Waltons was the person on it.
People get sucked down rabbit holes and stay stuck there, I seen it with people. They can't climb out. They can't accept logic or opposite opinion.
@@trixmania right and more than not they’re not even “allowed” to listen to it! ugh 🤦♀️
Why does it feel like this guy was doing positive PR for Cruise??
He talked about Exactly what he knows from his Own personal experience! No Embellishments ! Nothing else. An honest straight forward conversation ❤
@@margaretcantlon9960 or he's trying to come across as giving genuine personal experience (throwing in some kinda negative information) and yet spinning Cruise into being a possibly normal guy and not the monster everyone knows him to be who escaped that cult??
Mitch is still fresh out of Scientology. I can tell he hasn’t fully disengaged and is still in healing mode. It’s going to take a few more years.
I say this from personal experience.
@@kirstendstewartmy read is exactly the same as yours.
I think I'm open-minded, but really? 😒 Yes, it's true that people are complicated and no one is perfect, but knowing what we know now about these people makes me feel uncomfortable with marginalizing their behavior. I'm sure many people liked some "homicidal people" before finding out who they really are. After the fact, It's completely fair to feel disgusted by their deeds. JMO
I was getting that feeling also. He’s got one toe still in.
I agree 👍

Wow, a whole hour's worth of information broken down and simplified! Thanks!
You are a ROCK STAR!! 👍🏻
Thank you so much lovely ❤❤❤
Who’s giving 5 foot Little People permission to beat them???
Excellent interview, very balanced. i could listen to Mitch all day
I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community & never once saw a "funeral" being held for someone who decided to stop being Orthodox?
This was a very interesting interview. We want more! I have to give you "chapeau" for your non verbal communication, dear Andrew. I see, that you want stay with your face most of the time neutral, and that´s good. Not too much, not too small. Sometimes you raise your eyebrows, you affirm with moving your head, relax your shoulders, you rise your ends of your mouth....and you regulate your voice very well, to calm the other person down (ok, this is verbal, but - seriously, it is because your partners in your interviews went through bad stuff and it is a very positive reaction from your side). I am a lawyer and have lots of trainings in non verbal and verbal communication, and I must say - as I think and feel, that you are a MENSCH. Thank you.
Isn't it mensch?
@@tron.44 Yes, you are right, I made a mistake, I will correct myself. Thank you! XX
I remember watching a documentary about parents taking their children to Hollywood for months of auditions hoping to get parts and getting their starts in becoming stars. I remember a few of the parents speaking of purchasing Scientology books and attending like counseling meetings of sorts. I was struck at how much credence they gave to Scientology and becoming stars.and
Those parents are disgusting human trash. They're absolutely soulless. They're so desperate for fame and wealth that they'll exploit their kids for anything.
I remember watching a child predator documentary where they pretended to be a talent agency (in California of course) to investigate how easy it would be to exploit children in the real world. They basically tried to see what the parents would allow. Every single person who arrived was a mom.
They asked if they could take nude pictures of their child for an upcoming role in a movie. Every single mom said it was ok. Some of the little girls were as young as five years old.
I've heard many stories about child exploitation, trafficking and sexual abuse in Scientology. Suddenly it makes sense why they offer all these "acting workshops".
The best interview so far! I'd love to know what the spoke during those dinners with TC and David, like they talk about the real world? about weather? idk
Great interview. What a wise man, I love how he taps the nuance of humanity as well as what accountability means. Now I have to see that film Mitch was in in the '70s. Thanks Andrew.
Yvonne Gillham Jentzsch was a major figure in the Church of Scientology, one of it's most beloved people, and the founder of Celebrity Centres. She devoted practically her whole adult life to the church, but passed away at the early age of 50.
So her whole life was dedicated to a cult and dies at 50 . What a waste of skin.
Key Mormon rites have deep roots in Freemasonry.
Key Scientology rites have roots in acid trips I had in college.
Yes like about 90 %
Scientology has roots in the occult
Thank you, Andrew. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Around 1998 I was audited by Dianetics in Gosport Hants. Didn’t know it was Dianetics until they pushed the book onto me. Whole experience creeped me out. I felt trapped & bought the book purely to escape. The charity shops were filled with them in coming days!
Amazing, powerful, and real!! Loved this interview ❤
Why if so many people have reported her missing have the police not took it seriously?
My understanding is that she eventually met with police detectives and told them she was fine etc.
How much coercion happened for her to do that is unknown. Still, it apparently was enough that police had their hands tied to not look into it further, which would be considered harassment and leave them vulnerable to civil legal action.
Very informative and entertaining. Many thanks.
Andrew, you present the most interesting and informative videos!! Todah rabah!
Interesting how he describes people who aren't wealthy as "little people". 🙄
This was a great interview! Loved hearing old school scientology stories.
❤❤❤
New movie coming soon...
Starring Tom cruise...
About Tom cruise leaving and discrediting scientology....
It's called mission possible
Let's all get together and convince Tom cruise to discredit and destroy scientology..... Tom cruise is clearly a very unhappy and angry man ...... let's all help him rediscover the wonder of the natural world....
He’s NEVER going to own up to the role he’s played in promoting a people trafficking cult.
If only! He is too far gone methinks
Tom Lives for The Church ,and he would never leave .
Leah Remeni asked one simple question?
"Where's Shelly?"
Like this director says, all that needed to be said is she's on a special assignment & couldn't make it.
They never could've imagined that one response would be the beginning of Scientology's downfall!
Actually, Cruise called his dad a "merchant of chaos".
AA co-founder Bill Wilson implemented the 12th tradition (anonymity) because he didn't want celebrity alcoholics publicly joining AA and then publicly relapsing. The fact that Hubbard didn't foresee that his celebrity members could eventually bring bad publicity will be a huge part of Scientology's demise.
Hey hey hey
I think our government today is just Scientology 2.0
Fascinating interview. The stories are endless.
Those who join a cult have a void missing in their soul, and they are looking for a savior.
There is only one. ✝️
I think it’s ridiculous how they call it The Celebrity Center.
Great discussion
Tom is very angry
Certainly seems like it, among other things.
classic ''short man's disease.'' 😎
Sorry, didn't mean to cut that short. I just wanted to tell you Andrew that fhe interview with Mitch Brisker sits up there as one of your very best, I was totally spellbound throughout! What a beautiful person, I am now queuing up to buy his book. Please let me know where I can find it.
Getting Leah on your show would be awesome. If you ask, she would love to give an interview. She's in a lawsuit with Scientology, so she might not give too much information. But I admired Leah, she's a pistol and not afraid.
Soul Film Director?
Thank you Andrew and Mitch!
Merchant of Chaos!😂
Perfect!
I need a t-shirt, who’s doing the silkscreening?
This is such a nice community, people helping each other and just the minimum amount of trolling.
Irony. Right??
@@ac1646 not really, I enjoy being here. Other channels are horrible to each other, even if we disagree with someone it's usually respectful.
This is a great community…..analytical thinkers and open minded souls ……
Love this channel
Andrew is great!
💜
@@andreabono3437yes, it's great having Andrew on RUclips an actual journalist and not just someone blowing hot air around.
@@pixie3760 Got it ☺Thank you. I misread your comment💕
Shelly knows every single thing and can destroy David and Scientology “church.” Shelly isn’t around any more. Just my opinion.
Is Shelley dead?
I bet she is. Dead people don’t talk nor do they photograph well and it’s such a BIG sensitive subject to them.
People can be good to each other benefit despite cult dehumanization.
All i can say about Tom Cruise is I met him many times through the years as a fan, beginning with Interview with the Vampire, and he was extremely nice kind and easy to talk to, even times when I was alone and no cameras around, still very nice. Then last time he came here, in Rome, Itay, for promotion of MI 7, he acted diffrently. People said he was still freaked out about Covid, that he had changed, and doing the red carpet in the evening he didn't sign any autographs
This was so interesting. I like Mitch's honesty in admitting that his personal experience with Tom or Tommy Davis, for eg, were positive. And I hadn't heard about Miscavige and the assistant...😮 That makes so much sense. Even if it is just a platonic attachment, because David does seem asexual to me.
On another note, Mitch mentioned the cult Landmark. Is he referring to Landmark Forum? I just watched a short recently by anti.prophet who mentions having joined that cult and how he enjoyed it. I think Andrew interviewing anti.prophet would be marvelous!!!
Great interview, thank you Mitch!
Excellent interview! I love that you let people talk
Excellent interview! This guy sounds really credible and knowledgeable.
HI Mitch! Great seeing you here on Andrew's video!
This was a much better interview. AAron seemed annoyed with him the whole time, it wasn’t a pleasant watch. This is fantastic 😊
I can understand why Aaron was annoyed. It was like watching paint dry. And moisten your mouth already!! How hard is it to take a sip of water. As you get older everything starts to dry up. Lol. I was waiting for those yucky white things in the corners of his mouth to form. 🤢
Sound of freedom
You can't make excuse for abusive, selfish behavior
Great conversation, both sides. Thank you.
Great interview with Mitch I wish him all the best and thank you I will be following him for sure
Mitch Brisker seems to be a really nice guy. I wish him all the best!
UNRELATED: Can someone help me with placing AG's regional accent? 👀 Great show, always!
Somewhere around London I’d say. Not quite, maybe Buckinghamshire or Hertfordshire. It’s fairly neutral
Great interview❤
Great interviewee ; Very brave to face that his time was over and not try too hard to fit back in at that point. His book should be very interesting too.
Mitch is a monologue machine. Yikes. He could have a great conversation with a tree.
Andrew Gold - you are GOLD ⭐️
This was an amazing interview! ❤
Love this guy ❤❤❤ Great intelligence and speaking voice. Is he single..
A-Aron should be selling "Merchant Of Chaos" merch!!!
(Great show again, Mr. Gold.)
Mitch, I'm so happy your exposing COS. #SPTV
Anyone else think David looks like Alfred E. Neuman?
Mitch I just Subbed to your Channel . Speaking out is the Best therapy . I wish you Peace Love and Joy
Ohhh this was a tough one to get in to, a lot of names were thrown around, years and terminologies and almost a little too much patting on the own back.... Hats off to Andrew for listening as well as he does! I´m gonna give it another go.
He was asked to describe his background. Journalists do that to get the groundwork laid for greater understanding of the info to come. I guess we could go back to three networks asking non-questions and airing non-answers. Naw, let the fellow talk on, no time limit, and let us mine for precious nuggets!
I agree. When I hear boasting my brain shuts off. Did not enjoy this podcast.
@ecoquilting7077 💯. He was great. When you get older you can't help it; we have more info! Andrew is patient but I thought the guy was interesting.
❤ Andrew😊
My brother was big into Scientology. He knew L Ron Hubbard back in the day and he actually had his children born in Saint Hill. I heard him say that wow I wonder if he would know my brother because he goes back to the 70s. What hell we went through with him he was a big shot in the organizations that we understood they really gravitate toward the best looking people and he definitely was one.
Seaton Thomas
It wouldn't surprise me at all if one of the deepest, darkest secrets of LRH was that he was indeed homosexual himself. Another thing -- Some years back, John Travolta made and starred in a movie based on LRH and his hypotheses; very much science fiction. It was released as being a Hollywood blockbuster, but basically went bust, if memory serves. I forget the title. Maybe something to look more into, Andrew? You just keep getting better and better -- great interview!
Love this gentleman and this interview ❤
Seems like in the 50's scientology wasn't pressure oriented in some of its departments like it is today .
Andrew i discovered your channel at 7 at night today and it’s 1:05 in the morning lol I’ve been having a marathon on your channel great content. ✊🏼
Great interview!! 💜
23:39 100 degree weather? Black top was probably 160-180 degrees. At 80 degrees at my house, a grey ramp registered 160 degrees with an infrared thermometer.
Great Interview love Mitch he has a different timeline and perspective.
I often wonder how people can compartmentalise various parts of their personalities, most of the friends I have and myself, it's more like what you see is what you get. It appears to me that Scientologist's have different personas for different purposes. Just an opinion.
Scientology is really organized purgatory😂😂😂😂
Using Tom Cruise's name is total bait but this film director is a great interview.
When does this guy, who sounds smart, stop talking about himself and talk about T.C.?
I love you Andrew and Collier.
