Inside YouTube's Most Dangerous Video

YouTuber Michelle Khare and director Garrett Kennell join us to break down their most dangerous video yet: recreating Tom Cruise’s airplane stunt from Mission: Impossible. We get into how they pulled it off, the team behind the scenes, and what it’s like to build an independent media company from the ground up. Michelle also opens up about her failed Emmy campaign, the line between YouTube and Hollywood, and where creators fit into the future of entertainment.
