In this explosive episode of the Over/Under Movies Podcast, we're diving headfirst into the Mission: Impossible franchise — from Brian De Palma’s stylish 1996 original all the way to the death-defying stunts of the Tom Cruise-led blockbusters. We break down Ethan Hunt's evolution, the franchise’s stunt spectacle, and whether these films are cinematic masterpieces or just popcorn fluff.

Is Fallout the best action movie of the decade? Did Dead Reckoning justify the hype? And how has Cruise’s commitment to practical stunts shaped modern action filmmaking? We explore all that and more — including critic vs. audience scores, franchise fatigue (or lack thereof), and the legacy of spy thrillers in Hollywood.

Plus: our Guess the Film from Its Letterboxd Reviews segment makes its triumphant return.
