I spy with my Popcorn Theology eye… four agents banding together to pull off an IMPOSSIBLE episode! Their mission (which they chose to accept) is to look at the first SIX Mission: Impossible movies and report back on both popcorn and theology themes. It's going to take more than rubber masks, exploding gum, slow motion doves and death-defying stunts to pull this off… join us and see if they succeed, or are disavowed. Watch the episode here.

To prevent a madman from releasing a deadly virus in Australia, Ethan Hunt teams up with a professional thief. Join us as we discuss life-threatening Atlanta traffic, a parachute built for two, and questionable medical advice from Dr. James Brief. Then we see if Mission: Impossible II stands the Test of Time.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING sets itself up as the final film in the long running Tom Cruise spy series. Anton and Anders offer their thoughts on the film and how it fits into the legacy of the series. They get into the themes and how the film fits our current moment, with the A.I. villain, “The Entity.” During the conversation they note the film's many references, not only to other films in the series, but also the James Bond films, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and THE TERMINATOR. 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
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/

Today it's a Double Feature! Kicking off our discussion of the Mission: Impossible franchise, we're discussing Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II. It's seriously impressive for a franchise to span nearly 30 years, multiple directors, and plenty of death defying stunts from lead actor Tom Cruise. We look back to the original Brian De Palma film to see the roots of the franchise, and we discuss the much more silly and ridiculous John Woo entry.

In this episode of Sounds Like Comics, Luke and Jae dive into the explosive world of Mission: Impossible II. Directed by John Woo and starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, this 2000 action-thriller amped up the style, slow motion, and stunt work. But does it hold up over two decades later? The hosts break down the film's highs, lows, and everything in between — from the doves to the duel on motorcycles. Whether you're a longtime fan or revisiting the franchise, this episode is your mission… should you choose to accept it.

SPY KIDS IF IT WAS BAD. After the first film reveled in its high-tension spy-thriller identity, one would assume Tom Cruise's next impossible mission would delve further into that. Instead, he created the most Divorced Dad movie to ever exist. Oh boy. Come join Brian and Alec as they continue Marathon: Impossible with the surprisingly bad and even more surprisingly boring MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II!

173 - Mission: Impossible - II with George Hendricks and Jonathan Howell WARNING: This episode is very explicit. Welcome back to Reel Comic Heroes—the podcast where we take a deep dive into the best (and sometimes worst) action-packed, comic-inspired, and downright legendary films. Today, we're tackling a sequel that cranked up the stunts, slow motion, and doves—Mission: Impossible II. Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, but this time, John Woo is in the director's chair, bringing his signature style of over-the-top action, intense face-offs, and, of course, some gravity-defying motorcycle chases. But does this sequel live up to the impossible standard set by the first film, or does it self-destruct in a blaze of fire and techno music? Our returning guests are George Hendricks and Jonathan Howell. Strap in, put on your best disguises, and let's talk Mission: Impossible II.

Send us a textWe watch the dumbest Mission Impossible movie ever made.
Hannah and Cameron discuss the most 2000 movie ever made, with a Mission: Impossible Theme cover by Limp Bizkit and lots of slow-motion doves provided by the Chinese auteur John Woo. Cruise does his best to have chemistry with his female counterpart, but, again, fails to deliver in what is turning out to be his most impossible mission.
We talk about James McAvoy's fantastic performance, how this movie builds upon Psycho, whether this is a good sequel to Unbreakable, and whether the end twist works.

Megan has never seen a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie. Dan and Stephen are making her watch ALL OF THEM. That's right, as the final (?) film in the series slowly approaches, we will be going through the ultimate preparatory task. It sounds impossible, but we'll succeed, just like Ethan Hunt and the IMF gang! We have plenty of time, so this won't be a back-to-back-to-back project, but expect plenty of M:I talk over the coming year or so. This time we're talking John Woo's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II. It's an action-and-misogyny-packed throwback to the early aughts, complete with leather jackets, Oakley sunglasses, and Limp Bizkit. Hop on your motorcycle and cruise (ha!) with us to an era when creating superviruses was a thing villains did and not just business as usual. Three cheers for capitalism!
