How many reckonings will Ethan Hunt face? More importantly, how many planes can he fly at once? None of these questions are answered in today's discussion, but many more are raised and addressed as we consider Tom Cruise & Co.'s most Impossible Mission yet. We're joined by special guest Billy Ray Brewton, whose new documentary Coroner to the Stars is cleaning up at festivals as we speak.

It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, alongside an ensemble cast including Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett. In the film, Hunt and his Impossible Mission Force team unite to prevent the Entity, a rogue AI, from unleashing global destruction against humanity.In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie co-writing and directing both films. Plans for the eighth film later changed in February 2021. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, including Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for two other films in the series: Balfe was later replaced by Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey.

Production resumed in March 2024 and concluded that November, with filming locations including England, Malta, South Africa and Norway. The film, originally titled Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, dropped its subtitle in October 2023, and the new subtitle was announced in November 2024. With an estimated budget of $300–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.The Final Reckoning had its world premiere in Tokyo on May 5, 2025, was screened out of competition at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 14, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 23, by Paramount Pictures.

He's an expert at finding a parking spot in Pittsburgh. Which is no easy feat, let me tell you! In this week's new podcast, we're taking aim at Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise stars as the mysterious drifter and former military investigator in this gritty action thriller. It also marks the first time Cruise teamed up with director Christopher McQuarrie, a partnership that would lead to several Impossible films to come. Does this adaptation of Lee Child's popular novel One Shot hit the mark? Listen now as our hosts break down the action, the performances, and whether Jack Reacher stands tall or falls short.

Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, "one last time."In this episode, Ashley, Matt and Aaron review the new (and final?) Mission: Impossible movie.

Keine Rolle ist so sehr mit Tom Cruise verknüpft wie Ethan Hunt in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. Und auf keine Rolle hat er so viel Einfluss genommen. Das Action-Franchise wuchs über acht Filmen in fast 30 Jahren zu einem riesigen Abenteuerspektakel, das manchmal auch Doppelnull-Agenten alt aussehen ließ. Apropos "alt aussehen" - zum ersten Mal sieht man Tom Cruise seine 62 Jahre ein bisschen an, aber Respekt, dass er sich immer noch mit Stahlseilen an ein Flugzeug hängt. Und wie gut ist nun der achte und letzte Film geraten? Vieles funktioniert immer noch sehr gut: Die Tricks und Täuschungen, die unmöglichen Aufgaben, die unwiderstehlichen Sprints von Cruise, die starken Frauen, das Team, die komischen Momente und die überlebensgroßen Action-Sets: Der Tauchgang zum U-Boot, die Stunts auf dem Doppeldeckerflugzeug - das ist ganz großes Adrenalin-Kino, das man sich auch in einem großen Kino anschauen sollte.Nicht zu vergessen die großartigen Schauspieler:innen - Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Angela Bassett und viele andere. Einige Fäden aus den Vorgänger-Filmen werden geschickt aufgegriffen, besonders aus dem Ersten und Dritten. Das perfekte Pacing wie im siebten Film gibt es leider nicht - die erste Stunde ist zäh und verliert sich in komplizierter Handlungserklärung. Und gibt es sehr viel Pathos - vor allem über getragene Stimmen aus dem Off, die bedeutungsschwanger über den Auserwählten, den Weltenretter Ethan Hunt raunen. Ethan Hunt als Action-Messias, der sein Schicksal und seine Bestimmung erfüllt. Da kann einem die Heldenverehrung schon mal zuviel werden. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Kino sind wir unterschiedlich begeistert und diskutieren, ob ein würdiger Abschluss der Filmreihe gelungen ist.Hier unsere Besprechungen zu den letzten vier der acht Mission: Impossible-Filme.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt mark the release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning by doing a non-spoiler, non-epic (less than 20 minutes!) chat with that film's director, the legendarily loquacious Christopher McQuarrie, [26:00 - 43:06 approx] and have a lovely natter with the stars of the new Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme, Benicio del Toro and Michael Cera. [1:01:37 - 1:15:35 approx] Right at the end of the show, we also bring you an extended excerpt from our Andor s2 spoiler chat with that show's creator, Tony Gilroy, who tells Ben Travis all about the fates of certain characters. Do not listen if you haven't seen Andor! [1:43:43 - 1:56:02 approx] Elsewhere, Chris Hewitt is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent, to talk about Cannes and Cruise, run their collective eye over the week's movie news, and review The Final Reckoning, The Phoenician Scheme, Lilo & Stitch, and Guy Ritchie's Fountain Of Youth.

Here we are! Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt for his final(?) adventure with his IMF crew. Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise's latest team up - Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning - has now arrived in theaters, and is, of course, the second part of the Dead Reckoning saga of this franchise. As I've said before, Mission: Impossible is probably my favorite movie franchise of all-time. That answer has likely come about due to a number of my other favorite franchises diluting themselves over the last number of years, but Tom Cruise just knows how to deliver a kick-ass time at the movies. He's done so again, and again, and again, so consistently over the last decade, even outside the Mission franchise. That being said, Dead Reckoning was an interesting specimen. I loved it on first watch but that movie did not do very well at the box office, which was extra surprising considering it was riding the tremendous wave of Top Gun: Maverick's success the year prior. On successive rewatches, I myself have grown to have a number of issues with that movie but still find it to be an incredibly satisfying action movie. It's certainly still better than most other action movies you've seen in theaters since that film, largely because of Tom Cruise's endless dedication to risk his life... for our entertainment of all things. But, can Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning overcome the story shortcomings of its predecessor to close out Tom Cruise's run as Ethan Hunt with his most memorable ride yet?

pWotD Episode 2939: Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 161,849 views on Monday, 19 May 2025 our article of the day is Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a 2025 American epic action spy film directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen. The sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), it is the eighth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, and Angela Bassett reprise their roles from the previous films.In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie co-writing and directing both films. Plans for the eighth film later changed in February 2021. Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, including Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for two other films in the franchise, returning to score Final Reckoning, although Balfe later left the production and was replaced by his longtime collaborators Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey. Filming began in March 2022 in the United Kingdom, with other filming locations including Malta, South Africa and Norway.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is always a joy to talk to about film music, such is his enthusiasm for his craft. Christopher McQuarrie joins Edith to discuss Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which he co-wrote and directed. It's out in the UK on Wednesday 21st May

2018's “Mission Impossible: Fallout” is the focus of today's episode of Sound Speed Action, and the question is not just whether it's the best in the series—but is it one of the greatest action epics ever made?It took six movies for the franchise (and two for director Christopher McQuarrie and Cruise) to find their groove, and this is the moment it all clicks. The action! The cast! The music! Even the dramatic and comedic beats land. And this movie fully leans into Ethan Hunt as the ultimate good guy—someone who won't accept the idea that saving one life means losing millions.It also has the best “light the fuse” intro of the series and the strongest callback to MI:1. For the first time, we get not just a returning villain, but two bad guys.Of course, it's still got some classic MI flaws: the villains still want to destroy the world to save it (seriously, we're still doing that?). Ilsa Faust is a total badass but seems way too quick to risk it all for Ethan (everyone falls for this guy instantly?). And the Syndicate, Apostles, John Lark—it's not always clear who's who or what group is working with which.Also, that helicopter chase? Cool… but it runs long.Even with all that, this movie is a blast. The action set pieces (HALO jump, bathroom fight, BMW vs motorcycle, and more) are constant thrills. And the more we learn about Ethan's ethos, the more charged those moments feel.This is Mission: Impossible at its peak.Streaming now on Paramount+. Also available to rent or buy.

Lara Peters speaks to director Christopher McQuarrie about the latest (and final?) installment in the Mission: Impossible series, starring Tom Cruise.  Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which sees the agent and his team embark on perhaps their most dangerous mission yet. Following Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning's soaring finale, the IMF remain on the trail of the malevolent artificial intelligence known as ‘The Entity', housed inside a sunken next-generation Russian submarine. Their only hope lies in trusting Hunt, one final time, to destroy it for good.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture episode #209 – dé meest nerdy podcast in de multiverse. Deze week duiken we diep in Andor seizoen 2, dat traag begint maar uiteindelijk keihard levert. We bespreken wat deze serie zo bijzonder maakt en waarom Star Wars hier de spijker op z'n kop slaat. Verder hebben we het over Tom Cruise, die tijdens Cannes niets loslaat over de toekomst van Mission: Impossible, en laat Scarlett Johansson haar frustratie blijken over het Oscar-succes dat Avengers: Endgame nooit kreeg. Zoals altijd: hot takes, nostalgie én veel te veel meningen.Andor Season 2 Review: "Het wachten waard"Het tweede seizoen van Andor begint stroef, maar weet gaandeweg indrukwekkend te verrassen. Vooral vanaf aflevering 7 komt de serie echt op gang – met afleveringen 8 t/m 12 als absoluut hoogtepunt. De opbouw is traag, maar loont: plotlijnen vallen op hun plek, personages krijgen diepgang en de cinematografie is van hoog niveau. In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in waarom Andor misschien wel de beste Star Wars-serie tot nu toe is – ondanks die moeizame start.Tom Cruise houdt z'n lippen stijf op elkaar over Mission Impossible's toekomstTijdens een masterclass op het filmfestival van Cannes lieten Tom Cruise en regisseur Christopher McQuarrie weinig los over de toekomst van Mission: Impossible, ondanks geruchten dat The Final Reckoning Ethan Hunts laatste missie zou zijn. Cruise benadrukte vooral dat het publiek de film gewoon moet ervaren en genieten. Het duo sprak verder over hun creatieve samenwerking, hun liefde voor ouderwets filmmaken en het belang van de bioscoopervaring, waarbij McQuarrie streamingplatforms bekritiseerde. Uiteraard kwamen ook stunts ter sprake, met Cruise die wederom zijn grenzen verlegt. Of dit echt het einde is? Cruise ontwijkt het antwoord – maar de rit wordt in elk geval spectaculair.Onbegrijpelijk dat Avengers: Endgame geen Oscar heeft gewonnenScarlett Johansson uit in een interview met Vanity Fair haar frustratie over het feit dat Avengers: Endgame geen Oscar-nominatie kreeg, ondanks het wereldwijde succes en de emotionele impact van de film. Volgens haar is het “een onmogelijke film die wél werkt” en had het epische slotstuk erkenning verdiend. Hoewel Marvel-films technisch vaak genomineerd worden, blijft een nominatie voor Beste Film zeldzaam. Johansson bevestigde daarnaast dat ze definitief klaar is met de MCU, hoezeer ze haar collega's ook mist. Ze vindt dat het verhaal van Black Widow afgerond is – en dat moet volgens haar ook zo blijven, uit respect voor de fans.Timestamps:00:01:00 Andor00:15:26 Bad Friends00:21:49 The Bourne Identity00:27:40 F1 The Movie Trailer00:31:08 Tom Cruise teased mogelijke komst van Top Gun 300:35:47 Tom Cruise wil niet ingaan op de toekomst van Mission Impossible00:39:15 En hij wil dat nieuwe acteurs ook bepaalde film technieken leren/kennen00:47:25 Een eerste blik op Nicolas Cage en Christian Bale in Madden00:49:57 Gears of War film heeft zijn regisseur gevonden00:51:53 Superman Trailer00:56:11 James Gunn past Superman trailer aan na fan feedback00:58:04 Leia cameo in Andor uiteindelijk geschrapt00:59:44 Letterboxd gaat een TV on Demand service lanceren “Video Store” op Cannes01:02:40 Ironheart Trailer01:05:50 Robert Downey Jr op de set van Avengers: Doomsday01:09:06 Scarlett Johansson: “Onbegrijpelijk dat Endgame geen Oscar heeft gewonnen”01:11:10 Scarlett Johansson: “De opnames van Avengers voelde ‘niet cool'”01:13:28 Avengers Doomsday reveal meest bekeken Marvel livestream ooit01:14:17 Disney veel nieuwe subs door Moana 2, Mufasa ennn Daredevil01:17:47 Ballerina Trailer

217. In this explosive episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Jon, Alex & Roberto dive head-first into the high-octane chaos of Mission: Impossible – Fallout — the film that pushed Tom Cruise (and his ankles) to the limit and raised the bar for action cinema.From THAT halo jump to jaw-dropping helicopter chases, we break down the adrenaline-fueled set pieces, unpack the film's moral dilemmas, and debate whether Ethan Hunt is a true hero or just addicted to the chaos. We dig into Christopher McQuarrie's razor-sharp direction, Henry Cavill's moustache-fueled menace, and why Rebecca Ferguson continues to steal every scene she's in.Is Fallout the best in the franchise? Or just the most intense?

We review Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) on movie podcast The Collector's Cut. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is directed Christopher McQuarrie and stars Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Ferguson patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mildfuzztv twitter: https://twitter.com/ScreamsMidnight all links: https://linktr.ee/mildfuzz Audio version: https://the-collectors-cut.pinecast.co/

“Sound Speed Action” is back with the newest episode in our countdown to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Now we're entering Christopher McQuarrie mode with the next film: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015).Writer and veteran Hollywood script doctor Christopher McQuarrie directs his first Mission Impossible and assembles a great team behind the camera to inject more energy into this thrill ride. Joe Kraemer delivers a pulsing orchestral score straight out of the original TV series. Eddie Hamilton joins as the wizard editor (Top Gun: Maverick, Kingsman), keeping everything moving at a fun clip.We talk about what we really enjoyed. Cruise is great, but Simon Pegg's Benji really steps up and commands his scenes. Rebecca Ferguson's debut as MI6 agent Ilsa Faust is superb—she elevates the movie with charisma and badassery. Sean Harris is fun as our super creepy villain, though it's tough to get too excited since the bar for villains hasn't been set very high. Alec Baldwin as Hunley is fantastic, and McQuarrie uses him brilliantly as a way for the franchise to poke fun at itself (“Sir, Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny—and he has made you his mission”). The Vienna Opera House sequence is a unique thrill.Some odd choices pop up—the snakeskin shirt (you'll know it when you see it), and a bad CGI car flip. But honestly, there's not much to knock.McQuarrie's been hyped up a lot on this show already, and now that we're here at his first Mission as director… what do you think? Enough action for you? We haven't even begun yet.Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is available to stream now on Prime Video and Paramount Plus. It's also available to rent and buy now on all platforms. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sohrabsmovieq.substack.com

We explore the franchise's legacy, its cultural impact, and what to expect from this highly anticipated Cannes debut. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Dave and his daughter Mary as they celebrate the upcoming release of Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning by discussing all the Mission Impossible films in order. This week: Mission: Impossible - Fallout, part two of the McQuadrilogy as Christopher McQuarrie flouts the rules and returns as director.

We're back with a new episode of Sound Speed Action as we continue our countdown to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Up next is what feels like an amazing reset for the series — Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011).This is where the franchise really starts to take off. The quality of action and entertainment jumps several levels in this installment. You get the brilliant work of director Brad Bird (The Iron Giant) as well as the first steps of writer Christopher McQuarrie stepping into the Mission world (be on the lookout for more from him soon…), making this an explosive (if sometimes uneven) hit of a movie!The cast brings a lot of fun: Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt, raising both his action and comedy game. Simon Pegg's Benji is no longer just the computer guy behind the desk — he's out in the field as a great agent, delivering some fantastic moments. That includes hilarious scenes alongside Cruise and newcomer Jeremy Renner. On the podcast, we debate whether Renner fully fits the mold of these films — what do you think? Paula Patton as Agent Carter (not that Marvel Agent Carter) kicks ass and is a blast to watch as part of the IMF team. Even the smaller roles are memorable, including Tom Wilkinson as the IMF Secretary, Léa Seydoux as assassin Sabine Moreau, and Ving Rhames (he's in it for only 39 seconds, but listen for a great bit about what Rhames pulled off in this movie).Of course, the movie has its flaws: a pretty thin villain character (okay, maybe these movies really aren't about their villains…) and a major tonal shift once the action moves to India.But ultimately, this chapter reignites the series with a much-needed burst of energy, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling new era for the back half of the franchise. Let's go! We'll be back soon with more to share — enjoy this one, and let us know your thoughts.Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is available to stream now on Prime Video and Paramount Plus. It's also available to rent or buy on all major platforms. This is a public episode.
