Blue Angel "Boss" Wooldridge breaks down the 2024 film

Captain Greg "Boss" Wooldridge is the only person in history to lead the Blue Angels 3 times. He was made famous in the 1994 documentary "Blue Angels: Around the World at the Speed of Sound", and 3 decades later, he's become a bonafide movie producer! He serves as Executive Producer on "The Blue Angels". The new film is also produced by J.J. Abrams and Glen Powell, and is coming to IMAX theaters for 1 week only on May 17th, and Amazon Prime Video on May 23rd. In this exclusive interview, "Boss" delves into his Navy career, his time with the Blues, and his involvement in both "Around the World" and "The Blue Angels". He explains (among many other things) how he got his callsign, how the spectacular flying sequences in the new film were achieved, and even gives some much needed advice on how to achieve excellence. A HUGE thank you to Greg for agreeing to do this interview. I was truly "Glad to be here"!
