Tom Cruise scales the highest building in the world in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

In Episode 242 of Reel Therapy, Daniel and Donavon are joined by UCA Professor of Film, Dr. Bruce Hutchinson, to break down Brian De Palma's 1996 classic “Mission: Impossible”. From script structure to storytelling choices, we dive into the film's unique six-sequence, three-act structure, its approach to delivering information to the audience, and that messy love triangle subplot. It's a deep, nerdy, and fun look at one of the most iconic spy films of the ‘90s.TABLE OF CONTENTS --00:00:00 - About the Episode00:00:47 - Greetings from Dr. Bruce Hutchinson00:02:30 - Mission Impossible01:48:37 - Final Thoughts01:57:12 - Before We GoABOUT THE MOVIE --When a covert mission goes sideways, IMF agent Ethan Hunt—played by Tom Cruise in the role that launched his action-star legacy—is framed for the deaths of his team.

Recalling the Thrill of Mission: Impossible's 1996 Premiere – A Film Buff's Perspective by AKAPAD In 1996, the cinematic landscape shifted with the electrifying debut of Mission: Impossible. As a wide-eyed film buff, I vividly remember the anticipation swirling around its premiere. Directed by Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise as the daring Ethan Hunt, the film blended high-octane action, intricate espionage, and a pulse-pounding score that left audiences gripped. From the iconic Langley heist to the explosive train chase, every frame oozed tension and innovation. For AKAPAD, this wasn't just a movie—it was a cultural moment that redefined the spy thriller genre, sparking a franchise that still captivates. Reliving that premiere feels like stepping back into a time when cinema dared us to accept the impossible.

Godfather 3 stormy kitchen ambience — “Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!” We're back at the movies and in a kitchen after a bloody helicopter attack. It's stormy, and dinner is happening, and everything feels tense because everyone almost just died (this scene).I am a Godfather 3 apologist. Aside from how awesome the sound design is in this and the other trilogy films, I love the exploration of a man who tries to emancipate himself from his own cruel and ruthless past. Especially when we are talking about a man who is one the of scariest characters in film.Yes, Godfather Part III feels like the Godfather movie Brian De Palma secretly made… Yes it is a tremendous jump from the cold and cunning Michael to suburbanite-ish Michael. These movies are horror films, they invite us into some pretty grim places. A missteps here could lead to a grisly end. You might go for a fishing trip in the fading sunlight when a gun appears from off screen. Beautifully wrapped pastries are dangerous. Somehow toll booths can become more sinister. Someone in the trilogy winds up sleeping with a disembodied horse head.Who do you even root for in the Altobello v. Connie v. cannoli?Psh—why am I even getting apologist? I love Godfather Part III and not just because of that Mobb Deep banger.This week I had my own “they're pulling me back in” moment after having a copy/ paste issue between Premiere and After Effects (CC2025). Having long ago worked in tech support for non-linear editing compositors, I suddenly found myself back trying to diagnose my own issue. Because Adobe does not give a ****.Adobe has created a bubble for themselves, they can make drastic changes in program behaviors, and unless you have some special tiered support package you will have no way of contacting these ******** but for a Lord of the Flies reddit wannabe where users answer questions for digital badges. I'm mixing my movie metaphors—Adobe Community… let the fans sort it out for themselves like Mary and Vincent? Actually strike that too. ZAAAAAASAAAAAA

Mit „Mission: Impossible“ gelang Tom Cruise Mitte der 90er-Jahre der erfolgreiche Startschuss für eine der langlebigsten Actionreihen der Kinogeschichte. Brian De Palmas stylisher Thriller knüpfte lose an die 1960er-Jahre-Serie „Kobra, übernehmen Sie“ an und überzeugte mit cleveren Twists und gelungenen Spannungssequenzen. In der Folge erwuchs ein Franchise, das sich über Jahrzehnte stetig weiterentwickelte – mit Cruise als unermüdlichem Frontmann und Produzenten.Kontakt zu uns: podcast(at)retroboost.de

He also shares fascinating stories about his prolific work output, including composing for Jim Henson, how Burt Reynolds got the idea to put him in Smokey & The Bandit, writing songs for the Carpenters, Barbara Streisand & Ishtar, meeting songwriting deadlines while touring with Liza Minelli, how it felt when Phantom superfans Daft Punk reached out to him to collaborate on their music, and so much more.And as if that wasn't enough, there's also a live performance from Paul's latest collaborators, PORTUGAL.

Say hello to one of the most iconic crime films of all time! Movie Mistrial takes on Brian De Palma's legendary gangster epic, Scarface.Scarface is a bold and unrelenting rise-and-fall story, powered by Al Pacino's electrifying performance as Tony Montana. With its intense action, unforgettable dialogue, and stylish depiction of the criminal underworld, the film has cemented itself as a cultural phenomenon and a staple of gangster cinema.While Scarface is celebrated for its larger-than-life storytelling, some critics argue that its excessive violence, over-the-top performances, and lengthy runtime can overshadow its deeper themes. Additionally, its glorification of excess and crime has sparked debate about its moral implications.Join us as we dive into the world of Scarface—its legacy, impact, and the debate over whether it's a cinematic masterpiece or an indulgent spectacle.Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Irving has announced her sophomore album, Always Will Be, featuring 10 electrifying renditions of songs from her longtime friend Willie Nelson's iconic catalog. The album includes contributions from Amy Helm, Louis Cato, Steve Earle, Chris Pierce, Lizzie No, and Willie himself, and is due out on April 25 via Queen of the Castle Records/Missing Piece Records. Amy Irving and Willie Nelson's decades long friendship began when the pair first met on the set of the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose. After dueting on a reimagining of his song "I'm Waiting Forever" for her 2023 debut album, Nelson reached out to Irving with a proposition: Why not record another album, one comprised entirely of his own work? Irving took him up on the offer, and the result is an incredibly heartfelt album, one that is rooted in love and friendship. Over Irving's prolific career, she has been seen in Brian DePalma's Carrie and The Fury, stage performances of Romeo & Juliet with the Los Angeles Shakespeare Society and Broadway's Amadeus. Irving was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Yentl, and has captivated audiences with beloved starring roles in films including Crossing Delancey, The Competition and Micki and Maude.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We're back! After our Guillermo Del Toro mini-series we're returning with the polar opposite of GDT's hopeful, community-driven cinema -- we're going sleazy, conspiratorial, and cynical (but still anti-American)! It's time for Brian De Palma's 1981 thriller, BLOW OUT!It's our first time talking De Palma, so we're breaking down his general cinematic approach and style before diving into where exactly BLOW OUT came from, and the power of a downer ending.It'd be impossible not to delve into voyeurism, Hitchcock, John Travolta's singing career, Nancy Allen & De Palma's marriage, and our complicated feelings on John "Mr Entertainment" Lithgow. Plus we're here to answer the age old question: is there a better cinematic setup scene than putting John Travolta on a bridge with an owl?Next time: back to Hong Kong for Johnnie To's gonzo superhero antics in THE HEROIC TRIO (1993)
Holly unleashes The Fury (1978), director Brian De Palma's follow up to Carrie, which features two telekinetic teenagers for the price of one.

Today it's a Double Feature! Kicking off our discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise, we're discussing Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II. It's seriously impressive for a franchise to span nearly 30 years, multiple directors, and plenty of death defying stunts from lead actor Tom Cruise. We look back to the original Brian De Palma film to see the roots of the franchise, and we discuss the much more silly and ridiculous John Woo entry.

And back with us again is our good friend and collaborator, Anastasia Elfman!

But what is it about this tale of teenaged angst that has led us to not only still talk about it after nearly 50 years but that has led to 2 remakes and a sequel. We'll find out today!

Collins and the cartoonist and graphic novelist Julia Gfrörer are my special guests for a deep dive into one of our favourite films, Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation (1974).The Conversation was groundbreaking in terms of film editing; when Coppola was pulled away to direct The Godfather Part II, editor Walter Murch had to streamline a narrative out of an incomplete film shoot and synthesized new approaches to picture editing and sound design which he credited to studying Hackman's precise performance as the surveillance expert Harry Caul, a lonely middle-aged man whose Catholic guilt and past sins begins to weigh on his conscience as he obsesses over his latest spycraft job, plagued with worry over the fate of the young couple he's recorded and what the tape will be used for by his sinister corporate client. We discuss the autobiographical details Coppola lent to the characterization and Jungian psychoanalysis that can be applied to the content, some of our favourite moments, and how the themes of The Conversation continue to resonate with audiences over half a century later.

Leslie Grandy, author of "Creative Velocity," shares her journey from film to tech, including encounters with industry giants like Brian De Palma and Steve Jobs. We explore the importance of emotional regulation when dealing with big personalities, and how character fuels creativity. Leslie discusses the ethics of AI co-creation and the need for critical thinking when using AI tools. We delve into the value of play in adult life and how it unlocks creativity. Leslie's insights on combining flow, play, and storytelling offer a fresh perspective on nurturing creativity in corporate environments. The conversation touches on the paradox of authenticity in professional settings and the power of serendipity in career development.
This week consecrates a major turn in the 50-year career of Alan Rudolph, which began as an assistant to and screenwriter for Robert Altman before transitioning into decades writing and directing original, romantic, occasionally unnerving American cinema at a time parallel to (if never quite reaching the fame or acclaim of) Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, Terrence Malick, and David Lynch. The turn is not a new film, but Criterion anointing 1984's Choose Me, perhaps the best entry point into his corpus, with a 4K release that marks an astonishing restoration of both the film itself and its long-neglected reputation. For this release Nick Newman had the fortune of speaking with Rudolph in an hour-long conversation that detailed Choose Me's creation, how his films both before and after are now defined by it, and honest perspectives on a career just slightly outside the celebrity-auteur spotlight.
This week Don finally picked the movie he's been talking about for a long time the 1983 crime drama film Scarface. Directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone it tells the story of Cuban refugee Tony Montana who arrives in Miami and becomes a powerful drug lord. The film stars Al Pacino, Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Robert Loggia, Míriam Colón and F. Murray Abraham. Come join us!!!

It's Die Hard in a casino!This week, hosts Phil and Liam are stepping into the swirling, neon-drenched chaos of Brian De Palma's SNAKE EYES (1998) - joined by none other than Travis Woods, the highly acclaimed film writer who is literally writing the book on De Palma.During a high-profile boxing match in Atlantic City, corrupt local detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) witnesses the assassination of the U.S. Secretary of Defense, who was being guarded by his best friend, US Navy Commander Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise). With thousands of people trapped inside the casino, and a hurricane on the way, the building becomes a deadly pressure cooker, and as Santoro unearths a dark conspiracy, he must decide whether to take a pay off and look the other way…or risk everything to expose the truth.What follows is a pressure-cooker thriller set almost entirely inside this one building, packed with impossibly complex tracking shots, split diopters galore, and some of the most ostentatious filmmaking flexes of De Palma's career. We break down how Snake Eyes really is both “Die Hard in a casino” and “Die Hard 2 in a casino”, why it's a perfect showcase for Cage's full-throttle charisma, and how De Palma - the king of cinematic maximalism - injects pure operatic style into a film that's basically one long unraveling conspiracy. Plus, Travis takes us deep into De Palma's career, his recurring themes of surveillance, voyeurism, and deception, and where Snake Eyes fits amidst the great man's remarkable legacy. So throw on your loudest suit, place your bets, and join us as we go all-in on this gloriously demented, spectacularly sleazy thriller! Here comes the pain, baby!SNAKE EYES trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VucLIxy23TAAt the time of release, SNAKE EYES is streaming on Fubo and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, Fandango, Plex and all the usual platforms!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!

Critics universally panned Wayne Kramer's box office flop Running Scared (2006). Top critics on Rotton Tomatoes rate the film at bleak 27% while fans give the film a superior 79% rating. On IMDB, it is Kramer's highest-rated film, with a respectable 7.3 stars. With standout performances by Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious), Vera Farmiga (Up In the Air, The Departed), then unknown Cameron Bright (the Twilight Saga), and Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale), Kramer's gritty screenplay is brought to life in a twisted tale that references Grimm's Fairy Tales, Brian De Palma, and John Wayne. Paul and Steve revisit the film's graphic shootouts, car chases, and fight scenes, weighing in on the big question: Who got it right? The critics or the fans?MENTIONSOpening scene shootout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7UdT1BtPRYKidnap scene: https://youtu.be/ZnaF4zql9ds?si=WFfZ6e1XrJb7WjFaHocky rink stand off Part 1: https://youtu.be/IJV7dz2ZEYw?si=gW7t9_jiBkCy5VrjHocky rink stand off Part 2: https://youtu.be/wTwhgAzr5eA?si=1a6EY6s8edK5a2SV Joey and Oleg face the Pimp: https://youtu.be/PYWqo1-thgc?si=CrItUmO3SLrvWmpuTAMMFF Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/TAMMFF FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Hollywood:1975. Martin Scorsese sits in his apartment, enraged. He wants to literally kill the man who is ruining his to-be-released film, Taxi Driver. Scorsese's friends, filmmakers Stephen Spielberg, Brian De Palma, John Millius, and Paul Schraeder rush to Scorsese's side to talk him out of committing murder, but when they arrive, their friend Marty acts less like himself and more like his Travis Bickle character from the film he's trying to save. This is the story of that night. Martin Scorsese is certainly one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Jake wants to know: who is your favorite filmmaker?
