Ethan, listen: switching gears entirely from last week’s episode, we’re diving into a film series and a movie star we somehow haven’t talked about yet in our show’s history. Tom Cruise took an IP that was somewhat forgotten, dusted it off, and turned it into a multibillion-dollar franchise. But Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One is the first time a movie in this series ends on a cliffhanger. Can Ethan Hunt get to the Sevastopol before Gabriel? What will he do with the Entity’s source code? Will Shea Whigham actually get to successfully pull a mask off someone? Disconnect yourself from the Internet (except your podcasting app) and listen to us discuss the film, as well as the gross neglect of AI regulation in our real world, who did the Spanish Steps sequence better (this or Fast X), and of course Ilsa’s iconic yellow dress from Rogue Nation.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One stars Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Cary Elwes, and Shea Whigham. Directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
