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.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
