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

Tom-Cruise-Action-Man, der atemberaubende Stunts immer selbst durchführt, ist ausgerechnet mit seinem (vorerst, vermeintlich, eventuell) letzten Mission: Impossible als Ethan Hunt tatsächlich böse abgestürzt! Nicht bei seiner wieder mal sehr waghalsigen Flugzeugkletterei, sondern was die Qualität des Films The Final Reckoning anbelangt. Insbesondere nach dem spektakuläreren Dead Reckoning erst vor ein paar Jahren, wirkt dessen Finale nun wie ein halbgar zusammengeflicktes, langatmiges Restprojekt, das seine zwei großen Ereignismomente trotz Überlänge nicht spannend oder erzählerisch schlüssig zu verbinden weiß. Es ist dieser eine Film zu viel in einer auf acht Teile aufgeblähten Reihe, die schon zwei Ausgaben vorher mit Fallout ihren Höhepunkt erreicht hatte.VORSICHT: Wir rezensieren den Film erst größtenteils allgemeingehalten, spoilern die wenig überraschend verlaufende Handlung im späteren Teil des Podcasts aus Frust dann aber doch sehr.

For Pete's Sake 05.17.25 - Three of the Most Important Stories of the week-Tom Cruise reveals what it takes to pull off his crazy, high-flying, death-defying stunts ✈️
217. In this explosive episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Jon, Alex & Roberto dive head-first into the high-octane chaos of Mission: Impossible – Fallout — the film that pushed Tom Cruise (and his ankles) to the limit and raised the bar for action cinema.From THAT halo jump to jaw-dropping helicopter chases, we break down the adrenaline-fueled set pieces, unpack the film's moral dilemmas, and debate whether Ethan Hunt is a true hero or just addicted to the chaos. We dig into Christopher McQuarrie's razor-sharp direction, Henry Cavill's moustache-fueled menace, and why Rebecca Ferguson continues to steal every scene she's in.Is Fallout the best in the franchise? Or just the most intense? Join us as we rank, rave, and wrestle with the question at the heart of it all: how do you top perfection?Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Mission Impossible Marathon01:46 Exploring Mission Impossible: Fallout12:40 The Impact of Christopher McQuarrie's Direction17:41 Character Dynamics and Performances26:22 Plot Overview and Key Moments27:39 Character Development and Moral Choices30:20 Stunts and Audience Engagement34:35 Iconic Action Sequences39:00 Emotional Weight and Character Dynamics42:52 Character Revelations and Story Arcs48:25 Mission Impossible Highlights51:23 The Helicopter Chase53:56 Action Sequences and Pacing01:00:30 Gadgets and Technology01:02:07 Ratings and Final ThoughtsMessage The Show Directly & Join The Conversation !Support the showYou can now support the show and help me to keep having inspiring, insightful and impactful conversations by subscribing!

It wasn't long ago when summer was a time for nonstop action, everything from "Speed" to "Die Hard." There are still plenty of action movies like the next "Mission: Impossible" film along with a new installment in the "Jurassic Park" franchise, but many of the annual entries are tied to comic books and other longstanding franchises. What about new entries into the field? In this episode we talk with Katee Sackhoff, who stars in the new action movie "Fight or Flight," as well as the film's director James Madigan. Sackhoff is no stranger to the action genre, having been involved with several "Star Wars" programs from Disney+. And with action movies, come big stunts. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced that a new Oscar category will be introduced for the 100th Academy Awards: Achievement in Stunt Design. We talk about what that means and whether mainstream actors like Tom Cruise could find a new pathway to an Oscar. 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

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios kickoffs of the summer blockbuster season in just 2 weeks with the release of Thunderbolts* on May 2. With tickets now on sale, box office tracking and projections ahead of the film's release are forecasting a solid, if not somewhat soft, opening weekend; with most estimates landing between $63 to $77 million. While that is on the lower side for an MCU movie, optimists believe the general lower level of familiarity with the characters on the roster, combined with the positive test screenings, could give the film significant potential and room to grow in subsequent weeks via word of mouth. Elsewhere, Captain America actor Anthony Mackie offered some insights on Avengers: Doomsday while promoting Twisted Metal Season 2 for Peacock, saying, “It's going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the introduction of a new Oscar category for Achievement in Stunt Design, set to debut at the 100th Academy Awards in 2028, honoring films released in 2027. This decision follows years of advocacy from industry professionals, including director and former stuntman David Leitch and stunt coordinator Chris O'Hara, who was notably credited as the first official "stunt designer" for his work on The Fall Guy. While the specific criteria and presentation details are yet to be finalized, this move is seen as a significant step toward recognizing the creative and technical artistry of stunt professionals in filmmaking. However, there is notable disappointment that earlier works, such as Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible series, will not be eligible for this new recognition.HBO has officially announced the adult cast for its upcoming Harry Potter TV series, confirming several roles and actors we've discussed, along with new additions. John Lithgow will portray Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer is cast as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu takes on Severus Snape, and Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid. Additionally, Luke Thallon has been cast as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse will portray Argus Filch. Casting for the central trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—is still underway, with over 32,000 children auditioning for these iconic roles.
