Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape.  Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF.  Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape.  The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol",  which disavows the entire IMF.  Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news.  The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again.  They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code.  But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent.  The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go.

END ON A HIGH NOTE?! Mission Impossible Final Reckoning Review! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau share their out of theater reaction to Mission: Impossible 8, Tom Cruise's long-running franchise. With huge expectations riding on this one, does it truly deliver? We break down the ambitious submarine sequence that opens the movie, the mid-air plane fight scene, and the emotional beats that try to set the stage for Part Two. Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt alongside Hayley Atwell (Grace), Rebecca Ferguson (Ilsa Faust), Simon Pegg (Benji), Ving Rhames (Luther), Vanessa Kirby (White Widow), and Esai Morales (Gabriel), with director Christopher McQuarrie once again behind the camera. But while Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning goes big, does it also feel uneven? From Mission: Impossible (1996), M:I-2, M:I-3, Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout, to Dead Reckoning Part One—this franchise has a high bar. We're asking: is Final Reckoning a satisfying build-up to the finale, or does it feel like a step back? If you're searching for a Mission Impossible 8 review, Final Reckoning reaction, or breakdown of the major action scenes, this is the one for you.

"DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEASURES." After the massive success of Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise and the world regained their love for impossible missions, and a sequel was greenlit not long after. However, many were skeptical as it turned out that Brad Bird wouldn't be returning -- and that the director's chair would be taken by Christopher McQuarrie. Nobody could've seen it coming that not only would McQuarrie meet expectations, but launch his own tetralogy as the only director to stick around with the franchise. So, after nearly ten years, how does his first outing hold up? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue Marathon: Impossible with the beginning of the series' second half -- MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION!

The Matt and Tubes face down "Snake Eyes".  An epic "Political Thriller?!?"  I'm not sure of the genre, but I am sure that "Snake Eyes" is Crucial!   NIcholas Cage gives his all as "Rick Santoro" a dirt-bag detective who gets forced into doing the right thing. He will have to compete with Gary Sinese who is chaneling his manliness into "Kevin Dunne" a Navy Commander who may be up to no good.    The whole affair turns into one of the greatest Neo-noir adventures of all time! It's really Neo-noir, I promise!   This was a fun one! Enjoy!   Love, 2bs    Up Next: "Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol"

[School of Movies 2024] Initially we were going to cover this 2015 movie as the After School Club to close out Cloon June, but the more we delved into it, the more weighty and disturbingly messy it became. From the mind of visionary animated filmmaker Brad Bird (Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol) comes a movie based on a themed area of Disneyland from 1955 which envisioned a great big beautiful Tomorrow. Now, 60-70 years later, having arrived at a mild dystopia, how can we reconcile what our grandparents thought the Future would be like, against what we've had building up around us our whole lives?   The YouTube channels featured in this episode include. (but are not limited to...) Jenny Nicholson Climate Town and Undecided with Matt Ferrell We recommend you subscribe to all three, and specifically track down those latter two videos featured to get full links to ways that you can proceed with the concepts discussed. Next week: Out of Sight closes out Cloon-June in Clooni-July.

This week, Ethan Hunt returns to save both the world and Tom Cruise's career in Brad Bird's 2011 spy thriller, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

Way before they had an unending case of sequel-itus, Pixar took pride in which of their properties spawned into franchises. On top of that, original Incredibles director Brad Bird seemed to leave his superhero family in the dust with successful forays into live action filmmaking such as 2012's entry in the Mission Impossible series Ghost Protocol. Enter 2015's Tomorrowland. While Bird would resist and swat questions of another adventure featuring the Incredibles family away, people (and Pixar) were still clamoring for more. And when the George Clooney starring Tomorrowland fell like a rock in a lake, Bird finally succumbed to the pressure of bringing back his superhero family creation. Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they review Bird's 2018 return to Pixar, The Incredibles 2, and determine whether it comes off as a subsequent return or grasp for money. And be sure to stay tuned until the end, as the boys reveal the ‘King' sized retro they are returning to in the next few ensuing weeks.

The locquacious Lukester is coming at ya, with a dramatic and action-packed two parter. Talk about a stocking stuffer!! LOLLL!!!!! We begin somewhat heavy with a dramatic child welfare incident outside of Gold's Gym Venice, where I desperatel wish the Punisher was real. I went to the "Roast Of LA" 'comedy' show with the mighty T Dog, and share my thoughts & observations on that. I ruminate on the politics of ATM card charges at mom & pop Los Angeles establishments. I lament the lack of portionality at Chipotle of late, and the unequitable charges for double meat. (Which now gives you the amount of meat/chicken you USED to get) Hear about the dramatic incident at LA Fitness, where a hapless fool threatened us all with a 2 ton leg press. I revisit Mission Impossible 4, Ghost Protocal, and the motion picture "K9" starring the quite tactless "not John Beushi." Finally, I recall the saga of my Sony studios FX3 adventure, starring rock star cinematographer Jacques Jouffret, and the the guy that directed "Lights Out," whuuuut!!

Time Codes - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (00:01:27), Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (01:16:11), Mission: Impossible - Fallout (02:14:34)Here's the second half of Matt and Eric's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE rundowns, from Brad Bird's GHOST PROTOCOL into the official Christopher McQuarrie Era of ROGUE NATION, FALLOUT (and beyond). A (kinda/sorta) more permanent IMF team for Ethan Hunt (plus one Isla Faust) starts to take shape as a new terrorist group threatens humanity on a mass scale.

The BTS team discusses how J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird helped cement the look and feel of the franchise, the differences between the heist and action genres, and the importance of developing emotional character relationships.

 Super-producer Bryan Burk, who produced “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation,” returns! On this installment Burk talks to us about what he learned from Tom Cruise about producing, how close Gene Hackman came to being in “Ghost Protocol” (and Martin Landau in “Rogue Nation”), and we discuss his hair preferences. What more do you want?

This week we are joined by a truly amazing guest – Bryan Burk, who produced “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation.” (He was also around for “3.”) On this episode, we talk about how Brad Bird was hired, the contributions on the “Ghost Protocol” script by Damon Lindelof and Christopher McQuarrie, and how Bird was like Stanley Kubrick. Plus so much more!

We are once again joined by Clint Schultz, graphic designer for “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Mission: Impossible 3” and this week we talk about the logo for the IMF that Schultz designed (and is barely seen in the movie), designing the four dots logo for “Ghost Protocol,” and he tells stories about “Zodiac,” “Tomorrowland,” “Star Trek” and much, much more!
