Anton and Anders offer their thoughts on the film and how it fits into the legacy of the series.

They end the conversation by discussing their ranking of the eight films in the series and where THE FINAL RECKONING fits in.0:47 Keynote3:01 Table Talk48:56 Ranking the SeriesClips:“Terminator 2: Judgement Day” (1991)“Mission: Impossible III” (2006)“Duck Amuck” (1953)“Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning” (2025)“Mission: Impossible” (1996)“Mission: Impossible II” (2000)Read more of the 3 Brothers' reviews, features, and roundtables at https://3brothersfilm.comSubscribe to the 3 Brothers Film YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1zge4GZWu3-mdH-VPv8tw
This week we discuss the TKO comic Sara by Garth Ennis and Steve Epting, colors by Elizabeth BreitweiserBut first, why did Cody have a head in his bag? And who put it there? How did Cody lose his voice? What did Jake do for his birthday? Was World War II Russia a chill place? Would Sara make a good movie? Did this comic have Velvet vibes? Does color play a big role in this comic? Could Sara take out Johnny Five from Short Circuit? Is Sara the goat sniper? Does this comic have Inglorious Basterds vibes? Is now the perfect time to hunt Nazis? Does one of the members of Sara's squad represent Death? Did the Russian military lie to Sara? Is this comic historically accurate? Was this more of a character study than an action comic? Did this story have Saving Private Ryan vibes? Is TKO still in business? What other TKO comics do we like? Is Sara a masterpiece? Does the art outweigh the story? How does this compare to other Garth Ennis comics? Who would we cast as a live-action Sara? Should we cover James Bond on the podcast? What was the most brutal scene in the comic? Is this a comic geared towards dads? Is this the kind of comic you can give to non-comic book readers? What is Queen & Country? How is Sara like a ronin? Did Sara take out the Bradley Cooper of German snipers? Is this the Sisterhood of the Traveling Snipers? Why is Cody threatening our listeners yet again?Check out our website: https://www.comicsandchronic.com/New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

Where the law of the land ends, the story begins. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Ian Urbina returns with a new season of his riveting podcast anthology, The Outlaw Ocean, which explores the most lawless place on earth — the vast unpoliceable ocean. New episodes starting June 4, 2025.In season two, Urbina sheds light on the secretive Libyan prisons swallowing up sea-faring migrants; flagrant human rights abuses in China's massive off-shore fleet; the horrors of a shrimp processing plant in India; and the wild story of a modern-day James Bond — if he were a repo man.Urbina and his team repeatedly risk their safety to tell stories powerful people don't want you to know. As podcast reviewer Lauren Passell notes, “Ian's not relying on research, he was there [...] Outlaw Ocean makes you feel like you're there, too.”This immersive audio documentary series brings together more than eight years of reporting at sea on all seven oceans and more than three dozen countries.

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

Best D Life with Daniela- Helping You Find the Bliss in Your Busy
Ever felt like you're in a fishbowl, only interacting with the same people every day? In my latest podcast episode, I had an eye-opening chat with David Coupland, founder of Qu Mindset, about how we can break out of our bubbles and connect with diverse individuals. David's platform, Qu Mindset, offers spontaneous video calls on shared interests, helping us learn and grow from each other. Whether you're into sports, marketing, or travel, there's someone out there to share insights and experiences with you. Dive into the world of diverse interactions and see how it transforms your personal growth! At seven years old, growing up in a small English seaside town, David decided he would get the most out of life by traveling the world and meeting as many people as he could. That mindset carried him into a 15+ year career in film and television—Star Wars, Game of Thrones, James Bond—where he worked in over 50 countries, across oceans, deserts, studios, and cities. He met thousands of people, experienced endless perspectives, and lived the life the younger me had dreamed of. But something was missing. Even though he spent his life helping others grow, he'd always wanted to do more—to contribute to the world and the advancement of our species in a meaningful way. So in 2022, he left the industry and finally gave himself space to reflect. What had he really learned from all those years, people, and places? And what could he do with all of it? That's when Qu came to him. It hit like lightning—a culmination of everything he'd ever done, seen, and become. David realized he was happier than he'd ever been—not because life was easy (it wasn't), but because he was growing in every area of his life, consistently and intentionally. And with each step forward, he felt it—real joy. Physical, mental, spiritual. As his growth became more deliberate, so did his happiness. Now David wakes up every day with that feeling—even in the hard moments. Especially in the hard moments. Because he knows they hold value, help me grow, bring him joy. The truth is, it took him 40 years, a global career, and countless experiences to develop what he now calls the Qu Mindset—the ability to learn and grow from every moment. David built Qu: to help others access the world's greatest teachers, experiences, and other people in ways that are easy, exciting, affordable, and available to everyone, everywhere.Connect with David!LinkedIn, Instagram, Apple Podcast
Welkom bij Nerd Culture episode #210 – dé meest nerdy podcast in de multiverse. Deze week duiken we in de apoteose van de Mission: Impossible-serie: The Final Reckoning. We bespreken wat deze serie zo bijzonder maakt en wanneer het die kracht is in gaan boeten.. Verder hebben we het over Tom Cruise, die ongelofelijk smerig popcorn staat te nassen, en laat Scarlett Johansson haar weer van haar meest oranje getinte kant zien in de nieuwe trailer van Jurassic World Rebirth. Zoals altijd: hot takes, nostalgie én veel te veel meningen.Bijna een onmogelijke missie om af te kijkenMission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, de langverwachte afsluiter van Ethan Hunts reis. Huey bespreekt waarom de film ondanks zijn bombastische actiescènes niet overal weet te overtuigen. Het vakmanschap in de actiescène is nog steeds bewonderenswaardig, maar Tom Cruise die aan een vliegtuig hangt kennen we nu wel. Is dit écht het laatste hoofdstuk? Huey denkt van niet – en dat is volgens hem geen goed nieuws.Slow Horses een beetje traag, maar niet minder leukVerder vertelt Jelle over Slow Horses, de Britse spionage thriller die hem behoorlijk heeft weten te vermaken. De serie, met een weergaloze Gary Oldman als morsige MI5-veteraan, weet traagheid om te zetten in spanning. Langzaam ontvouwt zich een wereld van cynisme, intrige en briljant geschreven dialogen. Voor deze geheim agenten is hun werk ook maar gewoon een 9 tot 5. En weekend is weekend! Doomsday voor de MCU!?Tot slot slecht nieuws voor Marvel-fans: zowel Avengers: Doomsday als Avengers: Secret Wars zijn opnieuw uitgesteld. De nieuwe data schuiven flink op, wat de grote climax van de Multiverse Saga nog verder de toekomst in duwt. We bespreken wat deze vertraging betekent voor het MCU, of we er nog vertrouwen in hebben, en of een Avengers film als kerstfilm kan werken.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21000:01:55 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:03:43 Comment van de week!00:12:01 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:12:16 Black Bag00:15:38 Slow Horses00:18:28 Mission: Impossible Death Reckoning00:19:38 Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning00:29:40 Ted Lasso00:35:29 The Sopranos00:43:32 One Day (Emma en Dex)00:48:14 De Poolse Bruid00:54:37 The Last of Us S201:00:49 Not Just a Goof01:02:28 Atlanta: S8 E401:04:40 The Fountain of Youth 01:07:36 Volgende film Tom Cruise wordt brute actie komedie01:11:37 (Nieuwe) Jurassic World Rebirth Trailer01:14:39 Avengers Doomsday en Secret Wars officieel uitgesteld, krijgen we een nieuwe kersttraditie?01:16:18 Het DC Universe gaat chronologisch lopen.01:21:20 Documentaire Shia LaBeouf laat mensen weglopen op Cannes01:23:59 Michael Bay werkt aan Skibidi Toilet film01:27:27 Avatar 2 weer in de bioscoop voor Avatar 301:29:57 A24 en The Pebble gaan samen meer films maken01:32:04 James Bond gecast?01:34:11 Gaan we nog even naar Tom Cruise kijken deze week en deze week hebben we een popcorn etende Tom Cruise

The boys tackle the next movie in the Bond franchise, Goldfinger! He loves gold! James Bond is tasked with finding out what's up with Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam. He also starts becoming the James Bond we all know and some love. He gets with tons of ladies, says corny puns, and starts becoming too dang good at his job! But that's what the franchise is all about, right? It also has most likely the weirdest name for a Bond girl ever.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Bond… James Bond. On this episode of Flavor Odyssey, we explore the iconic Vesper Martini, famously known as James Bond's drink of choice.

Then, stick around for a chat with Anthony Horowitz!Anthony Horowitz is one of the most prolific and successful writers working in the UK – and is unique for working across so many media. Anthony is a born polymath; juggling writing books, TV series, films, plays and journalism. Anthony has written over 50 books including the bestselling teen spy series Alex Rider, which is estimated to have sold 21 million copies worldwide and has been turned into a hugely successful TV series by Amazon Freevee. A third series has just been filmed and the fourteenth Alex Rider novel, Nightshade: Revenge will be published in 2023.Anthony is also an acclaimed writer for adults and was commissioned to write two new Sherlock Holmes novels The House of Silk and Moriarty. He was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write continuation novels for James Bond with Trigger Mortis and Forever and Day, published in 2015 and 2018 respectively. A third novel in the series With a Mind to Kill was published in May 2022.Anthony is responsible for creating and writing some of the UK's most beloved and successful television series, producing the first seven episodes (and the title) of Midsomer Murders. He is the writer and creator of award-winning drama series Foyle's War, which was the Winner of the Lew Grade Audience award for BAFTA. DCS Foyle was voted the nation's favourite detective in 2011. Anthony has also written other original complex dramas for ITV, particularly thrillers. Collision, a major five part “state of the nation” piece was transmitted on ITV1 in November 2009 to seven million viewers a night. He followed this with the equally successful legal thriller Injustice, also for ITV 1 - transmitted in June 2011. Foyle's War returned in March 2013 as a Cold War thriller and was greeted with such critical acclaim and demands for more that he wrote one final series, bringing the show to an end in January 2015. Anthony's series, New Blood, premiered on the BBC in 2016.

The boys discuss the theme of civilization and play a round of President or James Bond
Only six men can lay claim to wearing the famous Savile Row tuxedo of James Bond; more people have stepped on the moon. Yet, hundreds more came within an inch of winning the coveted 007 role-the pinnacle for so many actors.For the very first time, The Search for Bond tells the often-extraordinary story of how cinema's most famous secret agent was cast, featuring exclusive interviews with many of the actors who were at one time either considered to play Bond, interviewed for the role, or went as far as to be screen tested. Their memories and stories are fascinating and give an 'insiders' glimpse into the process of how the Bond producers, Broccoli and Saltzman, came up with the right man to play their famous spy.With Daniel Craig having vacated the role, the circus surrounding the announcement of his successor has created a tabloid frenzy!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In Episode 410 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd bring listeners an entertaining and eclectic mix of music and movie talk in an episode packed with personality, passion, and plenty of nerdy insight.First up, the duo dive into a thematic musical countdown as they each share and discuss their Top 5 Favorite Songs About Animals. Expect a fun, energetic discussion as they explore a diverse playlist that spans decades and genres. From the primal pop punch of Duran Duran's “Hungry Like the Wolf” and the punk-infused chaos of The Trashmen's “Surfin' Bird,” to the introspective lyricism of The Beatles' “Blackbird” and the surreal surf rock of The B-52s' “Rock Lobster,” the conversation flows freely through musical memories and personal associations. Other notable tracks include the haunting message of “Meat Is Murder” by The Smiths, the raucous rebellion of W.A.S.P.'s “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast),” and the biblical whimsy of Bob Dylan's “Man Gave Names to All the Animals.” Rounding out the playlist are the motivational anthem “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, Dylan's traditional folk nod “Froggy Went A Courtin',” and the poignant “Free As a Bird” by The Beatles. Check out the playlist on YouTube.In the second half of the episode, Tim the Nerd takes center stage to tackle the latest shake-up in the world of cinema: Amazon's acquisition of EON Productions' stake in the James Bond franchise. Tim offers his analysis on what this means for the future of 007, raising questions about creative control, the potential for expanded Bond content beyond the traditional film format, and the challenges of maintaining the franchise's integrity under corporate influence. Will Bond's mystique survive the streaming era, or are we in for a reinvention of the world's most iconic spy?As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

SPECTRE, of course, set a trap for James Bond and with Tatiana Romanova, who is a fake defector of the Soviet Union.

David Waldman throws the news at us and dives for cover. Greg Dworkin tells us that the worst is by design, and he brings the receipts from around the world. Trump makes the world safe for White flight. Donald stopped the war between India and Pakistan using only his mind. He is now wishing the war in Gaza to end. Who's Ukraine? Maybe they got him coffee one time. South Korea's conservatives throw everything up in the air to see if it all falls into place. Germany wishes to ignore their far-right, but they are a noisy bunch. After 40 years, the Kurdish group PKK says, “Oh well, it was worth a try.” In Virginia, they have no one to blame but themselves but probably won't. So, Qatar is sending Trump a giant golden palace of a 747. Hey, can't a country give their buddy a thing without everyone suddenly questioning it? The White House said Ceci n'est pas une émolument, or something to that effect. Anyhow, Trump is only borrowing it until he keeps it... that's not “corrupt”, it's called “being smart”. You'd have to be a radical Left Trump hater to say otherwise. Trump said “tariffs”, setting off another sheep stampede. Time for another executive order to yell at another cloud, this time to demand that prices go down from up where they are. Drug prices should go down once the customer base passes away. James Bond still can rest easy, his car shopping remains tariff-free. Insult to Nazis, Steven Miller, is thinking about suspending habeas corpus, inspiring fantasies of abusing his corpus. David explains habeas corpus, as does just about everyone with a keyboard this morning. We have always been at war with Eastasia. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka refused to take the bait at an ICE detention center, but that didn't keep them from arresting him. He's lucky they didn't send in Seal Team 6.
