The Weekly Stuff #473 - Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Review & Discussion
Manage episode 371578546 series 3032323
Today’s podcast, should you choose to listen to it, is all about one of the finest films of the summer, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Jonathan reviewed the film in non-spoilery details at the new JonathanLack.Com last week, but on today’s show, he and Sean dive deep with the story, characters, action sequences, and much more, and while there are a few disagreements, overall we’re very much fans of what Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie continue to achieve with this series. Before the big review, though, we also talk a little more Final Fantasy XVI and discuss SAG-AFTRA joining the WGA in striking Hollywood’s abhorrent treatment of its workers, in a segment that becomes a larger conversation about what a raging dumpster fire the non-Mission: Impossible parts of this industry have become.
Enjoy!
