In this episode we celebrate two milestones: the 63rd birthday of the one and only Tom Cruise, and the 25th Anniversary of the John Woo directed "Mission: Impossible 2."
Back for her 5th appearance is Producer/Writer/Director Samantha Garcia, returning to defend "M:I 2’s" slow-motion, doves, and the thinly veiled homoerotic love squared plot involving Ethan Hunt, Nyah Hall, Sean Ambrose, and Ambrose's sulking love-sick sidekick, Hugh Stamp.
With two-thirds of our hosts loathing its ridiculous plot, early-2000s absurdities, and awkward shampoo-commercial romance, Mission: Impossible 2 stands as a fascinating relic of blockbuster excess, and love it or hate it, we’re driving motorcycle first into every slow-motion, leather-clad, sexually tense moment.
