Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe're in Sydney, Australia. Biocyte Pharmaceuticals. This Einstein looking mother goose shoots himself in the wrist with this gun that has some sort of drug in it. Apparently he created a bioweapon for Biocyte called Chimera but also created the cure for it. And he needs to get it into the right hands. Next thing you know, he's on a plane sitting next to Ethan Hunt. He's the right hands. The plane experiences some cabin pressure loss, so the masks come down. Ethan stands up to take a look at whats up. People with the masks on start dropping like flies. Turns out, it's not really Ethan Hunt. It's a dude in the mask. Son of a gun got me again! There's a group of baddies who take the briefcase that Einstein had in his hands. They kill him and jump out of the plane before it crashes.Next thing you know, we're with Ethan Hunt, the real one. and he's just rock climbing, free solo style. It's nuts. Suddenly, this bag with glasses appear and he's given his mission - find this women named Nyah who apparently is the ex of Ambrose, the head of the guys from the plane. They think she'll be able to help get the briefcase back seeing as how she's also a profession thief. Ethan finds Nyah at this party trying to pick a lock for a necklace. Ethan tries to warn Nyah that the lock is protected by a fool proof alarm, but she ignores him. They are surrounded by armed guards. Thanks to Ethan's cover, he helps her escape, but she's not interested in working with him. Ethan chases Nyah in his car and he saves her life when car skids and falls over the cliff edge. They then have special time and she agrees to help him. Ethan then meets mission commander Swanbeck who reveals that Einstein had sent a video message to Ethan, while Ethan was out climbing. Now he's dead. And that's why you don't go on vacation. Apparently Ambrose was ordered by Swanbeck to impersonate Ethan Hunt since that who Einstein trusted but then he went rouge. Ethan's mission is to find this briefcase with the drug in it and bring it back.Nyah is not happy to learn that she has been recruited because she was Ambrose's ex-girlfriend but she agrees to help. Ethan get a team together. Luther is back and then we meet Billy, an australian helicopter pilot. Nyah sets up a time to meet with Ambrose. He sends someone to bring her to him which she's okay with because she knows that Ethan is tracking her and will keep her safe. One of Ambrose's associates, Hugh, suggests that Nyah's timing is a big suspcious, so he cuts off the tip of his pinky. Ambrose makes a memory card with information on Chimera and brings it to the race track to show to John McCloy, the CEO of Biocyte. Ethan sees Ambrose showing the contents of the memory card to McCloy on a camera. Nyah is able to get that card and gives it to Ethan. The card confirms that the drug is deadly. She gets back to Ambrose and she sneaks the card back into his pocket, which he notices but plays it cool. McCloy gets into his limo which has been taken by the IMF and they pump it full of this gas. When he wakes up, he's in a fake hospital room and is greeted by the ghost of Einstein. He tells him he's been infected with Chimera. McCloy admits that he ordered Chimera to be developed as a bio-weapon to sell for big bucks. Obviously, it's actually just Ethan in a mask and he now has all the information he needs. Nyah meets up with Ethan and they talk about the plan and we find out that it's not actually Ethan, rather it's Ambrose in a mask. So many masks, so little time. Ambrose decides he's going to use Nyah as bait to get Ethan to show up. Ethan and his team work on a plan to break into Biocyte and destory the remaining Chimera samples. Ethan enters the building from the roof, cuz it's Mission Impossible. He gets into the labs and begins to get rid of the remaining samples. Ther'es one left when he is suddenly ambused by Ambrose and his team. Ethan isn't worried about it until he finds out that Ambrose brought Nyah. He sends her over to grab the last gun of Chimera.. Nyah injects the virus into her body, giving her 20 hours to live and ensuring that Ambrose won't kill her. Ethan escapes but promising to save her. Ambrose releases Nyah on the streets of Sydney to spread the virus. Why? Because he meets back up with McCloy with a vile of the virus. He says he doesn't wants his money, he wants stock because as the Chimera outbreak grows, BioCyte will make a ton of money since they already have the anti-virus. McCloy isn't thrilled with this plan but there's not much he can do. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. It's an explosive thrown by Ethan. Ambrose tells his baddies to go kill him, including Hugh. Ethan and Hugh get into a big fight. He is able to put an Ethan mask onto Hugh and put a Hugh mask on himself. Ambrose them killed the fake Ethan. But when Ambrose see's fake Ethan's finger, he realizes what he's done. While Ambrose was distracted by this, the real Ethan takes the vials containing the virus and the antidote and runs to the helicopter waiting for him outside. Ambrose catches up with him first which leads to a bit of a chase with Ethan on a motorcycle, riding it through fire and what not. Ultimately, it leads to a fight between Ambrose and Ethan and Ethan is able to kill him in one of the more ridiculous ways you could imagine. They tracked Nyah down and brought her to Ethan and Luther injects her with the anti-virus! Commander Swanbeck reminds Ethan he was supposed to bring back a sample of the Chimera virus and he's like sorry. Nyah's record is wiped clean and Ethan ends the movie by meeting up with her and kissing big ones cuz everything is just a Hallmark movie in disguise, some might say a mask.

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

This episode marks the end... of a lot of series! The crew dives into the season finales of Andor, The Studio, and The Last of Us. But before they get to those, they spend time breaking down another series ending, the (alleged) final Mission: Impossible film. It's a jam-packed episode, should you choose to accept it...
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!

A lot has happened since Kellie and Allen's last podcast! Big Al performed a HUGE party foul at Emma Kelly's graduation party. Kellie interviewed Tom Cruise at a screening of Mission Impossible and is still trying to decide whether she bombed or not. Kellie and Allen took a weekend road trip on their Can-Am Ryker and Canyon down to Texas Hill Country to ride the 3 Twisted Sisters. And Allen learned a hard lesson about eating overeating Chinese food mispronouncing the names of small Texas towns. Thank you to our podcast sponsors!

#638 Made for men, by men. Got a man? Take him.
Twenty-five years ago, director John Woo (Hard Boiled, Face/Off) joined this franchise to helm this long-awaited sequel to the first cinematic adaptation from '96. And whereas the first film was a paranoid espionage thriller, he and star/producer/mastermind Tom Cruise decided to shift THIS entry in the direction of ramped up operatic action mixed with forbidden romance. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is back for his next mission where he must prevent a now disavowwed former IMF-rival Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from doing something nefarious with a mysterious bio-weapon/virus nicknamed "Chimera." And to get closer to this new villain's burgeoning operation, Ethan must enlist a beautiful jewel thief named Nyah (Thandiwe Newton) who has a past with Ambrose but....the ONE thing he didn't count on was falling in love. :o And what results is a rip-roaring, mostly-set-in-Australia action EPIC filled with rock climbing, fast cars, roundhouse kicks, and.....DOVES. This was a major smash upon release and remains one of the more successful films in this long-running franchise....however a backlash has developed since then with many now calling it the WORST of the Mission: Impossible saga. Our mission - should we choose to accept it - is to determine as to whether it lives up OR down to the hype!See below for a link where you can hear the rare instrumental version of this movie's theme song, cited within this review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfBiktIrDnQHost & 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/

The Jock and Nerd crew dives deep into the explosive season finale of The Last of Us Season 2 before reviewing Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Plus, they reflect on the legendary career of Tom Cruise and his impact on action cinema.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Last week Disney pushed Avengers: Doomsday from its May 1, 2026 release to December 18, 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars from May 7, 2027 to December 18, 2027. The studio also removed several unannounced Marvel titles from its release calendar: a February 13, 2026 dated release has been removed entirely while November 2026 and 2027 releases have been rebranded from untitled Marvel films, to untitled Disney films.Memorial Day weekend's $326.7 million haul at the domestic box office was enough to earn it the title of the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend ever, with newcomer, Disney's live action Lilo & Stitch remake leading the way with $183 million, overtaking Top Gun: Maverick's $160 million weekend from 2022. Speaking of Tom Cruise, he was no slouch either, with the Mission: Impossible franchise's latest and supposed final installment, The Final Reckoning, earning a franchise high of $77.5 million.While appearing on a recent episode of The Box Office Podcast, Ryan Reynolds revealed he pitched an R-rated Star Wars film to Disney, saying, “I pitched to Disney, I said, ‘Why don't we do an R-rated “Star Wars” property? It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use,'” he said. “And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that.” The Deadpool actor clarified the film would not be for him to star in, but contribute behind the scenes by writing and producing.

Richies, just in time for ""Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning"" - the last installment of the MI franchise - we bring you one of the most bankable stars in the world, Tom Cruise. As a boy, he's bullied because of his height, and faces learning difficulties at school. But that was then and this is now. Thanks to roles in “Risky Business,” “Top Gun,” “A Few Good Men,” and the money-printing “Mission: Impossible” franchise, Tom has become not only an enormous action star, but one of Hollywood's most surefire leading men. And one of its most controversial. Who could forget the image of him jumping up and down on Oprah's couch after falling for Katie Holmes? Or when the “War of the Worlds” star and public face of Scientology stirs the pot on “Today,"" criticizing Brooke Shields for using medication to treat postpartum depression. (A major no-no according to Tom's church.) There's no questioning Tom's mega-star status - or his extremely polarizing views.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with Coach Bombay working a mission for the Impossible Missions Force—IMF, if you will. He's the guy in the chair while Agent Ethan Hunt is out in the field, getting important information from a target and then killing him—because sometimes, you gotta.We then meet Jim Phillips, Ethan's boss at the IMF. He receives the intel that Ethan retrieved. The team comes together to plan their next mission, and it's a big one. An agent named Alexander has gone rogue and plans to steal a list of all undercover agents to sell to a buyer. The mission seems to be going according to plan.After Alexander puts the list on a floppy disk, everything goes south. The agents begin getting killed—first Coach Bombay, then Jim Phillips. Even Ethan's wife, Claire, is killed. To make matters worse, when Ethan finds Alexander, he's already dead, and there's nothing in his pocket.In a haze, Ethan contacts the IMF and ends up meeting with the director, Eugene. Eugene explains that the entire mission was a decoy. Apparently, there's an arms dealer known as “Max,” and the operation to steal the list was part of a mission called Job 314. Everyone was supposed to die. Eugene is suspicious of Ethan—especially since $120,000 mysteriously appeared in Ethan's bank account. Realizing he's in trouble, Ethan uses a piece of explosive gum (courtesy of Coach Bombay) to blow his way out and escape.Ethan starts doing some research and reads the Bible, finding Job 3:14. He begins sending coded emails to every address he thinks could belong to Max.He's shocked when Claire shows up alive. Apparently, Jim warned her just before his death that the mission was compromised, so she faked her death to escape.Ethan eventually gets a reply from Max with instructions on when to meet. He's picked up in a car and taken to her—turns out Max is a woman. Ethan tells her the list she has is fake. She doesn't believe him, but he warns her that inserting it will trigger a tracking device. When it turns out he's telling the truth, Ethan offers her the real list in exchange for $10 million and the identity of the mole behind Job 314.Max agrees and gives Ethan a $150,000 cash advance, which he uses to assemble a team of blacklisted agents, including computer expert Luther and pilot Franz.The new team begins planning an elaborate mission to break into the CIA at Langley. In an absolutely iconic scene, Ethan is lowered from the ceiling to avoid pressure sensors and successfully steals the real list on a disc.Back at the safe house, Franz tries to take the disc, but Ethan pulls off some sleight of hand and confuses him. He decides to trust Luther with the real disc.Ethan learns that Eugene has arrested his parents. He calls him from a payphone and, after hanging up, sees Jim Phillips—somehow still alive. Jim claims that Eugene is the mole.However, Ethan has already figured out that Jim is the traitor after realizing the Bible he used to look up the Job verse was stolen from the Drake Hotel in Chicago—where Jim once said he was stationed.Ethan pretends to believe Jim and arranges a meeting with Max on a train to exchange the list. On the train, Ethan tells Max the list is beneath her seat, and she tells him where the money is stashed. Meanwhile, Luther jams the signal so she can't upload the list.Claire goes to collect her share from Jim but realizes too late that he's actually Ethan in disguise. When the real Jim shows up and pulls a gun to take the money, Ethan streams the confrontation live to Eugene, exposing Jim as the mole.Jim kills Claire and climbs to the roof of the train, trying to escape in a helicopter piloted by Franz. But Ethan also gets on the roof, hooks the chopper to the train, and forces it into a tunnel. Miraculously, it doesn't crash immediately. Ethan jumps onto the helicopter and uses another piece of explosive gum to blow it up—of course, surviving the blast.Eugene arrives, arrests Max, and recovers the list.Ethan and Luther are reinstated in the IMF, though Ethan isn't sure if he wants to return. On the flight home, a flight attendant approaches him and covertly offers a new mission—this time as team leader.
Sunday Morning Live 25 May 2025In this episode, I examine my contrasting experiences watching the "Minecraft" movie with my daughter and "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning", focusing on Tom Cruise's remarkable defiance of age norms. I critique the film's simplistic narrative style, linking selfless heroes to authority figures, and explore how these stories shape societal beliefs about power. Utilizing childhood psychology, I highlight our yearning for stability and the influence of early experiences on adult perceptions of authority. I conclude by advocating for self-reliance and personal growth, emphasizing the need to address unmet childhood needs.Subscribers can catch the premium livestream, "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!
