Podcasts about Esai Morales

Ryan and Dylan are joined one last time by Kirk Simpson to review the final outing for Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt and the IMF we've come to know and love in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Bill Maher welcomes actor Esai Morales for a rapid-fire hangout that jumps from tequila and raw-food fitness to fatherhood and playing the villain in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. They swap Pacino impressions, riff on devil lore and dating, then spiral into AI and conspiracy theories.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the rest of the IMF crew are back for ONE last mission....to save the world from The Entity, a massive artificial intelligence collective which has spread so far it is now on the verge of taking over every major nuclear weapons arsenal.  And the President (Angela Bassett) is running out of options as Ethan still has possession of ONE key item which our AI overlord still needs....a cruciform key.  As this is a direct continuation of the previous Mission: Impossible sequel (Dead Reckoning) from a couple of years ago, most of that film's key cast returns including series stalwarts Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg, along with Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, and Esai Morales as the villainous Gabrial.  Also returning is director Oscar-winning writer/director Chris McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Jack Reacher) who has now helmed his fourth Mission:Impossible film in a row.  Once again, the stunts gets crazier and The Cruise Missile seems to put his life on the line even more for the sake of pulling them off-screen - this leads to crazy action both underwater and up in the air!  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

This week, we say goodbye to one of the greats, as a film franchise that has consistently brought the goods over the last three decades bids a fond farewell in what we trust is its last installment. Yes, it's 2025's Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett, Rolf Saxon, Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman, Greg Tarzan Daniels, Shea Whigham, Hannah Waddingham, Katy O'Brian and Tramell Tillman. Two years after we did it the first time with Dead Reckoning: Part One, we are once again opening up the pearly gates of the ADHD-DVD Canon and letting a new Mission: Impossible waltz right in while it's still in theaters. No surprise of course if you've listened to even one episode of this show as we find a way to shoehorn this franchise into seemingly every conversation, and despite the mixed reviews for this movie (just like Dead Reckoning), would you believe that we loved it? The stunts remain exceptional, with two of the absolute best sequences the series has ever staged. It may spend a bit too much time in the early-going looking back at the history of the franchise, but frankly these films have earned the right to do that. They are good enough, it is a history worth celebrating. And we've got an hour+ of thoughts breaking it all down, and we close it out with our updated M:I Power Rankings. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, and we highly recommend that you do, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is of course available in theaters the world over at the time of publication, and is likely about five months from being permanently streamable on Paramount+, if we had to guess. No other films discussed this week, barring brief digressions here and there. We're laser focussed on just this movie, we'll do a full catch-up of all the theatrical outings we've had next time we get together. Who knows when that will be, or what movie we'll be discussing, but watch this space for more. We hope it's not too long from now, and don't worry, we haven't forgotten about The Accountant 2. We've just been busy. Until next time, we'll see you at the movies!!

Send us a textFlashing back to episode #72 of Fabulous Film & Friends way back in 2023, we covered Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 and so we here on FFF felt duty bound to our fans to give our take on its follow up and what could very possibly be the final sequel to the entire M:I franchise, 2025's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Henry Czerny and Angela Bassett. Keeping continuity, my guests this week are returnees from the 2023 podcast, my blockbuster crew David Johnson, DMD and Burton Brown. Does anyone remember what happened in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1? Here's a callback to my synopsis from that podcast:Ethan Hunt and his team of Mission Impossiblers have to go rogue yet again to stop the world from  yada yada yada. Same old crap megalomaniac with a weapon this time it's AI. Or something.  Esai Morales is involved. I fell asleep twice so I didn't quite catch the relationship between the AI and Morales' Gabriel character.This movie seemed like more of the same old same old. But as a Tom Cruise running movie, it's a masterpiece, reaching an operatic Death in Venice level of running sophistication. So how does 2025's big follow up differ?This time Ethan Hunt and his rag tag team of crack superspies have to stop the AI Entity from blowing up the world as well as Gabriel from trying to harness its unbelievable power. Yet, instead of  running extravaganza, we are treated to the biggest boldest, hands down, accept no substitutes granddaddy of all info dump and flashback movies. Is it the best, the worst or somewhere in the middle of the series?Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/dZfi-Cr8v20

Now 29 years later, we might be getting the last Mission:Impossible movie with “Mission:Impossible The Final Reckoning.” We were left with a cliffhanger in the last Mission:Impossible movie, so we'll perhaps get the conclusion we're looking for.

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.

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? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning:Directed by: Christopher McQuarrieWritten by: Christopher McQuarrie & Erik JendresenBased on the television series created by: Bruce GellerProduced by: Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrieExecutive Producers: David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Chris BrockMusic by: Max Aruj, Alfie GodfreyCinematography by: Fraser TaggartEdited by: Eddie HamiltonCasting by: Mindy MarinProduction Design by: Gary FreemanCostume Design by: Jill TaylorCast: Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Henry Czerny, Mariela Garriga, Holt McCallany, Janet McTeer, Nick Offerman, Hannah Waddingham, Tramell Tillman, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell and Angela BassettSynopsis: Ethan Hunt and the IMF team continue their search for the terrifying AI known as the Entity — which has infiltrated intelligence networks all over the globe — with the world's governments and a mysterious ghost from Ethan's past on their trail.

And... is this the beginning of the end?With tension high, tech gone rogue, and Tom Cruise running faster than ever, this might just be the most ambitious Mission yet.

Ritchie Valens and his flying podcast! - Phil takes 1987's La Bamba off the shelf this week as he remember the day the music died for the second time. Phil is so captivated by the performance of Esai Morales as Bob that it threatens to take the attention away from Lou Diamond Phillips. That being said, the movie is successful in taking a different approach to similar material as the 1979's The Buddy Holly Story (available in the archives) Dave found it challenging to get into the story overall as the characters were too thinly drawn to be understood without knowing the story previous. The performances and structure of the movie start to be a little melodramatic by the end. Phil, of course, is moved to tears. 

We're excited to welcome back Chris Smith of the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission to talk about Stars Servin' Up Love, a celebrity tennis fundraiser happening here in Asheville on February 2. It will feature Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Jessica Pegula, Emma Navarro, Michael Kosta, Pete Wentz, Jeff Probst, Esai Morales, and others to benefit local nonprofits. #indiesportsradio

Tread Perilously's Cornucopia of Sci-Fi concludes with a Caprica episode called "False Labor." After each of the main characters has troubled dreams, Joseph Adama awakes to another day of work while his brother, Sam, plots to send guns to Tauron. Daniel Greystone continues to develop Resurrection technology and perfect a simulacrum of his wife, Amanda. She, meanwhile, works to embed herself among the monotheists, even if one one of their number doubts her intentions. Trouble continues to brew behind the scenes at Greystone's business. The mob gets ever closer, and a prototype Cylon Centurion makes a startling contribution to the day's events. Erik and Justin can't help but examine Caprica through the eyes of jaded former Battlestar Galactica fans. Ronald D. Moore ends up in the hot seat even though he had little to do with Caprica. The duo split on star Paula Malcomson's performance. Esai Morales easily wins their hearts, though. Erik sees why Eric Stoltz was fired from Back to the Future. Despite not appearing in the episode, Caprica marketing star Alessandra Torresani merits discussion. Episode director John Dahl leads to a chat abput Rounders and the career of Gretchen Mol. The major Cylon problem infects Caprica and Erik gives The 4400's Billy Campbell some credit.

A lot's changed since 1987: Biopics are much more common (and darker). Chicano artists are more mainstream, and Lou Diamond Phillips is a household name.  So we acknowledge "La Bamba' was groundbreaking ... and not very good. Listener Mark C. commissioned this episode and the upcoming "American Me" to celebrate his heritage as a first-generation Hispanic-American. He noted the blockbuster soundtrack, janky lip-syncing and performances from Esai Morales, Joe Pantaliano and Elizabeth Pena. But Mark didn't prepare us for laughably large talismans, breakneck pacing and Ritchie Valens' "golly-gee" persona. In this episode, the Shat Crew debates whether Ritchie's brother, Bob, got a fair shake in the movie, what really happened that night in Tijuana and how much racism is appropriate for this story. Gene spots a Mystical Mexican. Ash yearns for some Buddy Holly, and Dick wants more details about the plane crash and aftermath.

On this final week of 2023 we're going run and run and run with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in 2023's Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part 1, one might even say Dead Reckoning Part Run  directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Mr. Cruise, Ving Rhames, Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, Cary Elwes, Esai Morales Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan, and Henry Czerny.  My two guests are my right hand men on The Blockbuster Crew: Utah's own David Johnson, DMD and Burton Brown, State of Utah IT.  Before the mad dash to our opinion of this movie, the synopsis:  Ethan Hunt and his team of Mission Impossiblers have to go rogue yet again to stop the world from  yada yada yada. Same old crap megalomaniac with a weapon this time it's AI. Or something.  Esai Morales is involved. I fell asleep twice so I didn't quite catch the relationship between the AI and Morales' Gabriel character.  This movie seemed like more of the same old same old. But as a Tom Cruise running movie, it's a masterpiece, reaching an operatic Death in Venice level of running sophistication.  But me go further: This is the biggest offender in “The Each Sequel Feels Like the Exact Same Thing Every Time --Except More of It” category.  In fact the whole series is the worst, far worse than James Bond.   Followed by:  Bourne IdentityX-MenRecent Planet of the Apes movies andHarry Potter  Am I right? On your mark! Get Set!Run!

Junk Food Dinner returns for our November episode (definitely not our Halloween episode) where we discuss British vampires, Japanese dinosaurs and Chicago juvenile delinquents! Up first, Christopher Lee is Count Dracula and he returns from his slumber in swinging 1972 London and it's up to Peter Cushing and his granddaughter (both descendants of Van Helsing) to stop him in Hammer horror film Dracula A.D. 1972. Then, Toei Pictures brings us a tale of prehistoric creatures returning to swinging 70's Japan and causing mayhem to an inexplicable funk soundtrack in Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds from 1977. And finally, Sean Penn plays a Chicago street thug who gets put in the toughest juvenile prison in the country after a drug deal goes bad and leaves multiple people dead. There he has to defend himself from other prisoners like the menacing Clancy Brown. But when a rival gang member, played by Esai Morales, shows up at the prison, things really get heated in Bad Boys from 1983. All this plus heated discussions on how long after Halloween it's appropriate to celebrate, why Gen Z isn't into rude titties on film, the new Salem's Lot, Godzilla on Apple TV, hot blu-rays and so much more!

Hosts Kenny and Mike discuss and spot faith reflected in the lastest Mission Impossible film, Dead Reckoning. Starring Tom Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF team must track down a device that threatens political and civil stability throughout the world. Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg reprise their rolls as IMF members Luther Stickell and Benji Dunn. Henry Czerny also reprises his roll as Agent Eugene Kittridge from the original MI as well as Michelle Monaghan reprises her roll as Julia Meade. Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, and Hayley Atwell also co-star.  Faith Issues Spotted: Forgiveness and Peace: The importance of dealing productively with pain, loss, anger and guilt, rather than ignoring or burying those feelings and experiences.  As depicted in the film, Ethan's failure to process his grief, anger, and guilt surrounding losses of persons close to him earlier in his life and career have had a negative impact on him. In the course of the film he is made more vulernable through his carrying that pain and desire for revenge. Carrying and allowing anger, guilt and other emotions to build up can make one susceptible to damaging one's health, career and relationships. Christian faith, and the promise and hope of redemption and new life can assist in working through such pain, anger, and guilt. In Romans 8 Paul teaches that current suffering and trials cannot compare to the goodness of the life to come in God's Kingdom, that God works for Good in all things, and that nothing can separate one from the love of God in Christ. God's love and peace can help persons move through pain and struggle including the power to seek to offer forgiveness instead of resentment or revenge.   Jesus and Paul also calls for followers to love and forgive others rather than live with anger and resentment. Matthew 5 & 22, Romans 12 Living out of Faith Rather Than Fear: Related to this is not living and acting from a place of fear, especially in the midst of changing times and circumstances beyond one's control. Acting from and through fear leads to behavior that accepts negative means to be justified by perceived "good ends." Faith in  God, who is a God of love who works for our good, even in the midst of struggle, helps one live in a place of faith and peace.  Temptation to Use Gifts and Power for Good: The tempation to exploit gifts and power in negative ways rather than use them for good. Technology has emense power that can be used for the benefit of an individual or society, or be exploited an used for harm. In the film a technology that could be used for great good in society is in danger of being used to cause great harm and bring power to an individual or group / nation. The pursuit of the technology becomes desperate with the nations and groups willing to do anything to secure it for their own use. This theme was also reflected in the film Oppenheimer.  Technology can be used in less dramatic but still damaging ways. The internet is a tool that can be used to lear and develop or hurt other or even waste time and opportunity for personal growth and development. As persons of faith, Christ calls followers to pursue rigtheousness and the good including love for others, including one's enemies.
