We need to talk about Ethan Hunt, one last time. Jason and Rosie are suiting up in their high tech dive suits and diving so deep (like Sevastopol levels of deep) with their reactions to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Were the set pieces enough? Do we care about Gabriel as a villain? Was it worth it for Jason to see this movie in 4DX? Plus, we have a DOUBLE omnibus! Jason and Rosie merge their two halves of the cruciform key to explore the stunt work in the movies as well as the history of the television show that started it all.

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. Then we pitch some new (?) ideas for blockbuster franchise reboots based on old TV shows.What's GoodDrea - Meat RaffleBilly Ray - Audience Award at Mammoth Lakes Film FestivalKevin - Trader Joe's has cheap wine, you guys!ITIDICRichard Linklater's Ode to Godard Sells at Cannes…To NetflixGoogle Financing Short Films to Make AI Seem Less “Doomsday”Staff PicksDrea - SinnersBilly Ray - Pee-Wee as HimselfKevin - Mission: Impossible 3 Follow us on BlueSky, Facebook, or InstagramWithKevin AveryDrea ClarkAlonso DuraldeProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher
After three decades and seven previous cinematic outings, super agent Ethan Hunt clocks in for, what is said be, his final mission. This week the Joes pass on Lilo and Stitch and instead check out Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Does this newest entry in the venerable action thriller franchise break out of the time tested mold of, a world threatening McGuffin, death-defying stunts, and lots of Tom Cruise running? SPOILER. No, not so much. Does it do an exceptional job of staying in its lane, even while raising the stakes, and looking amazingly good doing it? Again SPOILER, yes, yes it does. While no one who has ever seen a Mission Impossible film will be surprised by what they see, they won't be disappointed either. There's also the usual Random Topics, including some superfluous, Star Wars themed, dead horse beating, and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening!

This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we dive into explosive action, unexpected comedy duos, and a nostalgic dose of horror mayhem.
The second season of "The Last of Us" ended on a cliffhanger. "The Handmaid's Tale" ended after six seasons, but there is more on the way with a spinoff planned. And for "Mission: Impossible," the U.S. franchise that may have overtaken James Bond in the spy-thriller genre, "The Final Reckoning" provided a way to bid the characters farewell. With summer nearly here, we bid farewell to the fall/winter television season, chat up those two series, look to the future of "The Last of Us" and offer thoughts on Tom Cruise's final "Mission." (Or will Ethan Hunt return in the future?) We also look at some of the big trailers for upcoming films, including a reboot of a comedy franchise and how it addresses a controversial actor. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY
The Lilo and Stitch remake beat Mission Impossible. Is it because it was just that great, or because after thirty years and eight movies we're a bit sick of Ethan Hunt? According to a few of our listeners, it's both. And speaking of being sick of things for decades, we've been sick of Minnesota sports since the Twins last won the world series in the 14th century.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom-Cruise-Action-Man, der atemberaubende Stunts immer selbst durchführt, ist ausgerechnet mit seinem (vorerst, vermeintlich, eventuell) letzten Mission: Impossible als Ethan Hunt tatsächlich böse abgestürzt! Nicht bei seiner wieder mal sehr waghalsigen Flugzeugkletterei, sondern was die Qualität des Films The Final Reckoning anbelangt. Insbesondere nach dem spektakuläreren Dead Reckoning erst vor ein paar Jahren, wirkt dessen Finale nun wie ein halbgar zusammengeflicktes, langatmiges Restprojekt, das seine zwei großen Ereignismomente trotz Überlänge nicht spannend oder erzählerisch schlüssig zu verbinden weiß. Es ist dieser eine Film zu viel in einer auf acht Teile aufgeblähten Reihe, die schon zwei Ausgaben vorher mit Fallout ihren Höhepunkt erreicht hatte.VORSICHT: Wir rezensieren den Film erst größtenteils allgemeingehalten, spoilern die wenig überraschend verlaufende Handlung im späteren Teil des Podcasts aus Frust dann aber doch sehr.

#TomCruise #MissionImpossible #TheFinalReckoning There's something to be said about how Tom Cruise has kept folks engaged through this 8 movie escapades of Ethan Hunt. And The Final Reckoning hits all the vibes of what you expect out of a Mission Impossible movie. It is PEAK Impossible White Man movie and its so damn good and entertaining.
On a hectic, rainy day in Philadelphia, I made a dedicated trek to the theater to bring you a review of Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning, the thrilling conclusion to Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt saga. This film serves as a direct sequel to the original 1996 Mission: Impossible, delivering a nostalgic yet explosive finale.
Coming up on today's Movie Show, Andy & Steve review Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning - Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. The guys will also review Lilo & Stitch, Friendship, The Last Rodeo, and Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. Andy and Steve will review the Apple TV+ movie The Fountain of Youth - Two estranged siblings join forces to seek the legendary Fountain of Youth.

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. Hunted by his own agency, he must uncover the real mole, recover a stolen list of undercover agents, and pull off a high-stakes heist to clear his name.Directed by Brian De Palma and based on the 1960s TV series, Mission: Impossible features a screenplay by David Koepp and Robert Towne. With De Palma's signature visual style and Cruise's intense, physical performance (including that iconic vault scene), the film redefined the spy genre and kicked off a billion-dollar franchise.ADDITIONAL READING --Want to dive deeper into how Mission: Impossible delivers exposition and handles story structure?

It's a battle royale at the box office this Memorial Day weekend, Ethan Hunt versus Stitch.

Also, Randy Pitchford weighs in on the $80 price tag of Borderlands 4, not in a cool way. Fortnite gives the world a Darth Vader chatbot no one asked for or needs.

It's another edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian and Liam are tackling Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning (2025), the explosive (and supposedly final?) chapter in Ethan Hunt's death-defying saga. Does Tom Cruise still deliver jaw-dropping stunts and spy-thriller spectacle—or is the mission starting to show its age? If it is the end, is this truly a satisfying send-off for the franchise, or are we looking at Fast & Furious–style diminishing returns? Has the series said everything it has to say—or is there still life in the IMF yet? Is the plot compelling, or just another excuse to jump off a mountain with a briefcase? Do the emotional stakes hit as hard as the explosions? And most importantly—how many masks is too many masks? Ian and Liam break down the set pieces, the pacing, the performances, and whether Final Reckoning delivers on nearly 30 years of buildup—or if it's time for Ethan Hunt to finally accept that some missions really are impossible. All that and more in this week's See It or Skip It—and then they tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

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.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning may or may not be Tom Cruise's final time playing IMF agent Ethan Hunt, but the movie is certainly not worthy of taking on sendoff responsibilities.We discuss its two standout action set pieces, convoluted plot, and how it compares to its predecessor, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.We also talk about Cruise's portrayal as a mythic god and the movie's over-reliance on exposition.—Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

Has Ethan finally met his match? 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.

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. If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email podcast@picturehouses.co.uk.

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?

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.
