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
“He's at the height of his Lost powers here” - Ben on J.J. Abrams On this week's episode, we welcome Ben Worcester onto the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to chat about the super-fun action sequel, Mission: Impossible III! How great is this engagement party scene with Ethan working the room? Has there been a better M:I villain than the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Owen Davian? Is this the M:I flick with the most Ving? And how lucky is Ethan to have Aaron Paul for a brother-in-law? PLUS: Does Ethan Hunt have the same bartending skills as Brian Flanagan? Mission: Impossible III stars Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, Maggie Q, Simon Pegg, Eddie Marsan, Laurence Fishburne, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian; directed by J.J.

For this episode of Sound Speed Action, we're continuing our countdown to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. We're joined by returning guest and friend of the pod, Chris Cheng, to break down the franchise's third installment — Mission Impossible III (2006).It's a movie of firsts: JJ Abrams (of Lost and Alias fame) makes his feature film directorial debut, Simon Pegg arrives as tech whiz Benji, and it's the only Mission film ever co-produced with China. Oh — and it dropped right in the middle of the Tom Cruise Turbulence Era: the Oprah couch jump, the Matt Lauer meltdown, the Paramount fallout, and an infamous episode of South Park.Our conversation starts with the highs, but quickly uncovers some shared frustrations:* Abrams overindulging in his signature moves (lens flares, violin overload, blown-out colors, endless close-ups)* Wasting powerhouse talents like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michelle Monaghan* Failing to make the part of the movie that is in China a meaningful, fun, colorful, vibrant part and character of the story* Skipping the iconic “light the fuse” title sequence* A very long rooftop scene of “I need you to trust me” (you'll know it when you see it)* The fulcrum scene that really tests your ability to suspend your disbeliefStill, the movie isn't without its charms:* The mystery box tool of “the rabbits foot” here is mysterious and fun* New characters played by Keri Russell, Maggie Q, Billy Crudup, and Laurence Fishburne* Set piece standouts like the Vatican heist and Davian's bridge escape* Philip Seymour Hoffman channeling straight menace in one of the creepiest villain performances of the series (but we have some issues with this too…)This entry in the franchise is a very divisive one. It marks the halfway point for us in this franchise countdown. But get ready and hold onto your butts because this latter half of the franchise consistently kicks things up a few gears. Back with more soon!Mission Impossible III is streaming now on Prime Video and Paramount+. It's also available to rent or buy on all major platforms. This is a public episode.

Alongside his fiancée Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan, known for True Detective and Source Code), Hunt must rely on his trusted team—Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames, star of Get Hard and The Transporter) and tech-savvy Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg, beloved for Shaun of the Dead and Star Trek)—to outwit Davian's forces. The ensemble is further strengthened by Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, Match Point) as the covert IMF officer Declan, Maggie Q (Live Free or Die Hard, Divergent) as the lethal field agent Zhen, Keri Russell (Waitress, The Americans) as intelligence operative Lindsey, Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes, Ray Donovan), and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix, John Wick) as the indomitable IMF director Brassel.

NOW THE FRANCHISE BEGINS. The first two films in the Mission: Impossible franchise felt like polar opposites when it came to tone, style, and so on. While many people like to accredit the franchise's flourishing with the fourth entry, it was the third that truly set the stage for the series, not only in terms of the above factors, but in terms of Ethan Hunt as a character. This is arguably the most underrated entry aside from the first, and we're here to tell you why it's worth revisiting. So, come join Brian and Alec as they continue Marathon: Impossible with J.J. Abrams' directorial debut -- MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III!

It's 1996's Jerry Maguire, written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Preston, Bonnie Hunt, Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr, Todd Louiso and Jonathan Lipnicki. A throwback to an era when Crowe actually made great films (or any films at all), this one's got plenty of charming and funny performances and almost more plot than it's 2h20m runtime even knows what to do with, and we get into the nitty-gritty as to whether Rod Tidwell's NFL free agency arc even makes sense in reality. Plus: J Mo's got another theatrical field report fresh off of a Valentine's trip to see Heart Eyes! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our conversation, Jerry Maguire is currently streaming on Crave, Starz, and free with ads on the CTV app in Canada at the time of publication.

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 J.J. Abrams' MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III. With the series fresh out of a nü-metal identity crisis, this world-hopping third entry finds the tone which will define the franchise henceforth. Are there too many masks? Not enough? Is Ethan really that good at math? Is Ethan actually capable of physical intimacy? Can Luther hack anything? ANYTHING?!? What is Ethan yelling as he runs through the streets of China? Join us as we celebrate the birth of Benji, mourn the loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and wonder where the hell Jonathan Rhys Meyers has been. And remember, there's no problem that a dangerous feat of athleticism can't fix.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Mission: Impossible III. Stars Tom Cruise, Michelle Monaghan, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Maggie Q. Tom Cruise has to stop an arms dealer from getting a hold of a bio hazard known as the Rabbit's Foot. J.J. Abrams' directorial debut, Mission: Impossible III in some ways hearkens back to the more intimate tone of the original, but a lot of the fun of the series has gone out the window. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman makes a great villain, but this one feels more generic and a bit out of step of where things should go for the series.

Our ongoing series of reviews of Tom Cruise vehicles leading up to Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 is almost over with the release of that long-awaited sequel next month. So what better time to revisit what many consider to be THE seminal entry of the franchise? By the time this movie was released in late 2011, Cruise's star had faded somewhat as had the demand for another Mission Impossible sequel after the disappointing box office of Mission Impossible III in 2006.But something was different this time....for one thing, this was the live action feature directorial debut of Brad Bird who over the previous 15 years had directed some of our most beloved animated films including The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and The Iron Giant. Also there was less focus on the personal life of Cruise's protagonist Ethan Hunt and more focus placed on the rest of the TEAM - the cast for this one included Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Paula Patton. We get to know them a bit more than previous entries. And.....the movie was released initially in IMAX highlightin some seemingly jaw-dropping stunts featuring The Cruise Missile seemingly risking his life this time around. So our mission - should we choose to accept it - will be to determine just what made THIS sequel so special almost 14 years ago.....Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Simon Pegg is an actor and screenwriter who became a household name after appearing in two of Hollywood's most successful film franchises – Mission: Impossible and Star Trek. He also won many fans for co-creating the so-called Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy of films – Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the World's End. Simon was born in Gloucester and studied theatre, film and television at the University of Bristol. As a student he started performing stand-up routines with his pet goldfish called Roger who was a Marxist poet – albeit a silent one. Simon first appeared on television in the mid-1990s and made a name for himself by co-creating the sitcom Spaced with the actor Jessica Hynes and the director Edgar Wright. He is one of the few performers to have achieved what Radio Times calls the “Holy Grail of Nerdom” – playing roles in Doctor Who, Star Trek – as Montgomery ‘Scotty' Scott – and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He also co-wrote the screenplay for Star Trek Beyond. In 2006 Simon played the British technician Benji Dunn in Mission: Impossible III and has appeared in every Mission: Impossible film since. He is currently filming the eighth instalment alongside Tom Cruise. Simon lives in Hertfordshire with his wife Maureen, daughter Tilly and their dogs.

“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.”Ethan's back, and he's getting married!It took some time to sort out the plans for this one's script, and it wasn't easy finding the director either. Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner did get there though, locking in TV showrunner JJ Abrams to co-write and helm the third in this franchise, making it his feature film debut. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘Mission: Impossible' series with a look at Abrams' 2006 film Mission: Impossible III. Here's a hint at what we talk about.The film starts with a gut punch, introducing us to the villain and setting up Ethan and his wife in a position as hostages. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian, the villain, is perfect and the star of this film, but is it too early to start having issues? As someone much more in tune with co-writer/director JJ Abrams at the time, Pete was very much in the bag for being there with Abrams as he made the leap to the big screen. Andy didn't have that connection so didn't have as much of an interest in the film (or the franchise at this point after John Woo's second entry). So does the opening work? We talk about the vibe of the film and how, because of the romance between Ethan and Julia, it feels very different. Largely, it works and moves us past Woo's mess of a film into something that feels better already. It's just unfortunate that there are still so many issues. Perhaps the largest is that it never quite feels cinematic.Regardless, it's a fun entry into the franchise and gives us plenty to dig into. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.
