Speaker 2: Part one with our special guests Chai Serrano.

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Coming up next Strike Watch. Okay, why are we calling

10
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: it Unnamed Spy Series one? Because you know, we're trying

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: to adhere to the after a stipulation not to promote

12
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: stuff created by strikers. And of course the SAG Union,

13
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the union that represents actors when on strike July thirteenth.

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: I've seen them out there on the lines. It's great

15
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: to have them, it's great to have their energy out there,

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: it's great to have their ability to communicate out there.

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say one thing because it's

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: been bothering me. So the president is Fran Dresser. One

19
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Frand Dresser of the Nanny fame who in the days

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: before the strike had kind of been drug over the

21
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: colds for going to where was it venice to do

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: some sort of thing promotional thing that she's a brand

23
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: manager for something. I forget one and then you've you know,

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you see comments in various either articles or on podcasts

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: where people are like, oh, you know, but sure, you know,

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: like the there's you know, there's a lot of working

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: writers and actors, but the top level they're all like

28
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: really rich. Frand Dresser's rich, and like Jenneral Lawrence rich

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: and all these people rich. That's true. Here's what I

30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: need to say. You know, on this podcast people have

31
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: heard us talk about like why we like the stuff

32
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: we like? Why do we like Marvel movies? Why do

33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: we like comic book movies? Why do we like comic

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: books in general? And it's that thing of that wish

35
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: fulfillment of wanting to interact with a story in which

36
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: the person who is powerful, who is rich, who is influential,

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: was strong, is actually defending people who are weak. And

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: that's what legitimately is happening in this strike. Frand Dresser

39
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: doesn't need to give a shit about background actors who

40
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: are having their likeness. Who is the AMPTP has proposed

41
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: that they be able to just scan their likeness and

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: then use it willy nilly without any consent for perpetuity,

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: thus cutting out the whatever they would have spent on

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: background actors aka actions. They don't need to for extras.

45
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: They're doing it because of this fight. People like you know,

46
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Kenya Barris and Mike Sure don't need to, don't. They're

47
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna make their money. They don't need to fight for

48
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of uh you know, baby writers and lower

49
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: class writers, working class writers who have just like got

50
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: into this business and are working three and four and

51
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: five different gigs to put it together. But they are

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: that's what's cool about this. Yes, there are rich people

53
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: involved in this strike, the top levels of SAG of course,

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise and fucking Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Matt Damon

55
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and Jennifer Like, they're all rich, but they are in

56
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: this with the extra. They're fighting for the extras and

57
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: for the extra so that they will still have a job,

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: so that there will still be a lower rung of

59
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the ladder that people can climb, and if they're talented

60
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: and fortunate and lucky enough, maybe they can get to

61
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the level they're at. Yeah, if the AMPT proposals go

62
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: through were to go through, that latter would just not

63
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: exist anymore. There would be there would be no way

64
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: for a person breaking into the industry to get to

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: the levels of success that are already hard enough to

66
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: get to the other people that have made that journey

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: in the past and joy. So I think, for me,

68
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: what's really cool about this strike? It sucks on so

69
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: many levels, but what's really great about it. What's great

70
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: about a union is you have the most successful, richest,

71
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: most wealthy, most known members of this union fighting for

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: the lesser known, the less successful, so that they can

73
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: can continue to make a living at this I think

74
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: that's what's great.

75
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: I agree as our friend Danny Fernandez has said regularly,

76
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: the union is for the most vulnerable. I saw a

77
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: really heartbreaking but vital fact. And tell this to anyone

78
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: who says that thing about rich act as rich right

79
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: as millionaires. There's many incredible stories out there by people

80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: who are well known who actually don't own the money.

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: But this fact I always think about. You need to

82
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: earn twenty six thousand dollars a year to be able

83
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: to get healthcare through SAG after an eighty seven percent

84
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: of the membership does not earn that money. They do

85
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 2: not earn that much.

86
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: And if you take jobs away from extras, from background actors,

87
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: from people just walking on, guess what, you're even less

88
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: people able to just afford going to the doctor. It's cruel,

89
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: residious too.

90
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the way residual stops people from being able

91
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: to earn out to get healthcare.

92
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: It's insanely cruel. And we've got a bunch of links

93
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: in the show notes if you want to help out.

94
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: There's the Entertainment Community Fund, which supports the people who

95
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: are not in SAG, not in the WGA necessarily, you know,

96
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: the trades people, the crafts people who are also impacted

97
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: by the strike. You can help support them. There. There's

98
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: other links there that you'll find really useful and power

99
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to the strikers.

100
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll be here talking about it on Strike

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Watch as we continue working out what's going to happen

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: with the strike and making sure that people know how

103
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: to support the strikers and be in solidarity with them

104
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: as this continues, probably for a fair amount of time.

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: Just one more thing, you know, I've had other people

106
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: argue to me. Oh, you know if the actors who

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: just want to work, like who have a gig and

108
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: they like they depend on this, you know, if they

109
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: had had more sway in this, then there would be

110
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: no strikeer. No, no, they are the ones who who

111
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: people at the top level. Again, the Matt Damons and

112
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrences are supporting in this strike.

113
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: They know them for this to happen.

114
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: It is for them so that they can get paid fairly,

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: so that they can continue to have a job, so

116
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: that they can not have their digital likeness just out

117
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: there in the world doing jobs that they would have

118
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: been paid for.

119
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: And that they there for them to. Yes, because you

120
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: don't need consent.

121
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: They could put you in any movie with any agenda

122
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: and you would never be paid and they would own

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: your digital likeness for life. I mean, it's it's nightmarish.

124
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: Disconted literally it literally came out and that's very much

125
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: about this. But yeah, we're in support of the strikers

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: and I hope they get what they need. Hot labor

127
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,840

137
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Hey, just getting ready to talk about Mission Impossible?

138
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: Excit? Mission Impossible?

139
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: Movie?

140
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: So excited?

141
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Well, there there are seven movies, so let's just jump

142
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: into it and run them down movie by movie quick

143
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: recaps and our general thoughts. Let's start with Mission Impossible

144
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, directed by Brian de Palma. The original

145
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: idea behind these movies that Cruz has was different a

146
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: tour every single time, and they stuck with it for

147
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: a while until they eventually like, fuck it, let's just

148
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: make epics. So we start with the Palma. Ethan Hunt

149
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: and Is. A Mission Impossible team led by IMF veteran

150
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Jim Phelps, are on a mission in Prague. An agent

151
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: named Golitzen is attempting to steal the CIA knarclist from

152
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: the embassy. Ethan is disguised as Senator John Waltzer, the

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: chair of the Armed Services Committee. Now I need to

154
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: stop here. How does how does this? How does this work?

155
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Does Waltzer know or does Waltz not? Because Waltz is

156
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: like on a fishing trip, so he's out of action

157
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: and nobody will know that he's not in Prague. But

158
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: like how they just.

159
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: Time it right?

160
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: And also let's talk about this because we need to

161
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: bring out he's not just disguises him.

162
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: He's wearing the mask.

163
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: Now this is going to be a recurring part of

164
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: the mission Impossible law is the masks.

165
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: This is the introduction to the masks.

166
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: Is he going and voting? Is he like spending time

167
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 3: with people who think that he's him?

168
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: Like?

169
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: How does he go to the Senate?

170
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: Like? How long has.

171
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that him on the on the on

172
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: firing line with what's his name?

173
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: Like?

174
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Is that? I? How deep does he get with this?

175
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: They don't want us to know Shay and it's all

176
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: about PLA.

177
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: I don't think it matters. That's my thought on this part.

178
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: I think once you dig two inches beneath the sand,

179
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: it gets real shaky underneath there, So we just keep

180
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 5: it cruising. He's got a mask on he's another guy

181
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 5: for ten second. Yeah, yeah, I love the mask?

182
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: Do you like.

183
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I never you get tired of a mask gag. I

184
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: never get tired of it.

185
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: When you watch this movie, which is like this quite

186
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: is very depalmerish.

187
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: I love it.

188
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: It's very serious, it's very noirri The mosques are played

189
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: like very straight, and you're like, whoa, this is like

190
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: quite cool and unexpected and it's like a little bit weird.

191
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: But you would never expect after watching this movie that

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: that would become the recurring bit for like the whole franchas.

193
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: They're so effective. I fall for it every single time,

194
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: every single time. There's not been one mask reveal where

195
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 5: I was like, oh fuck, they got me.

196
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: And they've gotten triggered with it, which we will get to. Okay,

197
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: so the Knocklist goes out, gets out in the open

198
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: because the operation goes sideways. Everybody fucking dies except for

199
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: Ethan and his fellow agent Claire, who is also Jim's wife.

200
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: What a weird flex to bring your wife on secret

201
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: missions that you lead. But that's okay, that's an hr

202
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: violation of my book. That's fine. Hunt meets with director

203
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Kittridge of the imf thinking he's about to get extracted,

204
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: but then Kitcher is like, no, you're a double agent.

205
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: I think this is all your fault, and in fact,

206
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: this entire mission has been a mole hunt to catch

207
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: you and the knocklist that was stolen his fake Ethan

208
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: blows up the aquarium and kills all the fish and

209
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: leaves rude. Here's a scene that I love early internet scrolling.

210
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: Ethan then goes on the Internet. It's nineteen ninety six.

211
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Ethan goes on usenet forum groups and to find the

212
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: arms dealer Max, and he finally makes contact with Max

213
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: after spending all night speaking Max dot com and he

214
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: makes He finally like gets to meet with Max, who

215
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: immediately is like, i'd fuck you. You're pretty hot. What's your deal,

216
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: mister guy that I met on the Internet? And Ethan's like,

217
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: here's here's my deal. I will get you the real knocklist,

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: give me ten million dollars, but also give me some

219
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: of it right now so I can hire some guys.

220
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: And Max is like that seems weird, but okay, let's

221
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: do it. Uh. How can anybody say no to Ethan hunt?

222
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: And it also sets up a recurring scene throughout this series,

223
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: which is people just get crushes on Ethan Hunt. Max

224
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: is like, wow, Ethan Hunt, hold on a second hottie,

225
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Ethan Hunt. And that is the case throughout the series.

226
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Max can sense that were it like twenty years earlier.

227
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: She is Ethan's type aka a skinny white blonde, skinny

228
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: white brunette. He's gonna fall in love with you and

229
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: he doesn't even need to kiss.

230
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: You or anything like, He's just gonna.

231
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: See you and he's ready to die for you. And

232
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: they are a purest on screen romance.

233
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Are you a brunette who is involved in something shady

234
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: arms dealing, pickpocketing, international jewel heiicing, Then Ethan thinks he

235
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: can change you and he has absolutely developed a crush

236
00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: on you. Okay, so uh. Ethan then goes off and

237
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: hires his team Luthor Stickle, the net Ranger, expert hacker,

238
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: only man to fuck, Phineas Free Golibd a hat NATO

239
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: ghost comms, which he does not admit that he did,

240
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: and French dirt bag Franz Krieger, one of the great

241
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: characters from this series. Ethan's team then, in what is

242
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I think the iconic set piece of the series that

243
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: has set the template for all the various action gags

244
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: that have followed. Breaks into CIHQ and you know, repels

245
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: down from the ceiling in complete silence, the nod to

246
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: the great heist movie Raffifi to steal the knocklist from

247
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: the air gapped computer. It's fantastic. It's wonderful. It least

248
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: ten ten minutes. It's so good.

249
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: They do a great job with like they have all

250
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: these really over the top moments where it's like Franz

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: Kreeger like lets him go and he's almost hitting the ground,

252
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: and then it's like two sweat drop blots gonna drop

253
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: on the ground and let them know he's there.

254
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: But he's like, actually, no, I'm gonna catch him.

255
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: And also they give a guy food poisoning, and like

256
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 2: a big major plot point of this is that a

257
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: guy's just shitting himself, which is like right because it

258
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: will be like super tense and you're like, oh, shit's happening,

259
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: and then the guy's just like, oh.

260
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna puke. I'm gonna puke. But yeah, it's

261
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: it's so good. Also I'm upset, like when I rewatched

262
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: this on that box.

263
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: My review was just like Tom Cruise's little glasses because

264
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: I always think about uting on those tiny nineties glasses

265
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: to do the hacking.

266
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: That is so good.

267
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Shaye, what did you think when you first saw this scene?

268
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 5: I felt the same way that Roggie felt watching it

269
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: in a theater, just being like my stomach was crawling

270
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: out of my mouth, like, m it was completely quiet.

271
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: You've never seen anything like that.

272
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 5: You were so used to all of the big whatever

273
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: the big action moment was in the big action movie

274
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: was the like loudest.

275
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: Most startling part in this one.

276
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: They just they did like the photo negative of that,

277
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: and it was, Yeah, it was so effective. I was

278
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: thinking about that, and then I was thinking about the

279
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: glasses as well. I don't understand why he put them on.

280
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: He never wears them.

281
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: He never wears them because of the camera.

282
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: He needed the camera like, oh, see what he's doing,

283
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: See what he was doing. Oh I can't believe. Oh

284
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: you know what?

285
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: That does bring me to another thing that I think

286
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: these movies do this. These movies do something so well,

287
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: and it's definitely the thing I like the most about

288
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: them is like the tech and like the spycraft elements

289
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: are so fun, like when he blows up the fish tank,

290
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: he blows it up with like explosive bubble dom.

291
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you like her sequence exactly then of Lasagnia

292
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: don't get any on you.

293
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you get this really good. Before every sequence

294
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: they give you a good like ten minutes of like

295
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna do this, and then we're gonna

296
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: do this. But it doesn't feel redundant when you actually

297
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: see it come to life. It just feels like you

298
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: understand and a part of the planning and the playing

299
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: and share you actually bring up something really good about

300
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Like I think that sequence that I never really thought

301
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: about it. In this way, it is like an inversion

302
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: of a big action sequence. And then when you get

303
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: to like the later movies, Christopher mcquarie does something that

304
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: inverts it again where he puts the massive action sequence

305
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: at the beginning, which is like the opposite of everything

306
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: we know about blockbusters. So in that way, the franchise

307
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: has always been kind of like twisting our expectations of

308
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: like what we see in an action movie.

309
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 5: I really like during this this heist. It's a small

310
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: little thing, but it's like secretly my favorite part of

311
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: the whole first movie when they're breaking in before before

312
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 5: they like repel in before they remove the great they

313
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: use a goo special little tool that has a little

314
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 5: tiny hook on it that catches the screw that's getting.

315
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: Like so good.

316
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: I love how I love how they just well, they'll

317
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: give you the most ridiculous possible piece of technology, but

318
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: then also they just slide in some very practical little

319
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: things in there. Yeah, it always makes me happy that part,

320
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 5: especially you watch the screw unscrewing and oh, it's gonna

321
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 5: drop into the little cup drops.

322
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: Right in there there.

323
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: I also love that Kreeger couldn't have just let the

324
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: rat run by, just let him no.

325
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: No, no, But that's like, that's one of the weirdest

326
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: things about this movie that I think made it so

327
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: great is like there are.

328
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: Weird moments of realism.

329
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Like in a cooler version of that scene, you would

330
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: never you would just have it like I'm cool, I'm

331
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: staunching out, but he like gets freaked out drops him.

332
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: Like there's these kind of real human moments. Crea is

333
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: also fucking struggling to pull him back up. He is

334
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: looking his age. He is like me trying to pull

335
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: someone up on a rope. It's never gonna happen. And

336
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: I think those that mixture of like the bombastic, like

337
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: you're breaking into Langley, like that's never gonna happen.

338
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: But with those little.

339
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: Moments of realism, it makes it like edge of your

340
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: seat filmmaking.

341
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: So uh, Kreeger. After the pice, Kreeger then tries to

342
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: extort Ethan because he thinks that he has the actual disc.

343
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: But then Ethan does a wonderful David Blaine thing where

344
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you mean this disc and then he's

345
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: like cooking doing close up magic and sit by the.

346
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: Way the major point of close up magic.

347
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: We will get to it, but yes, the latest movie

348
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: has a lot of Ethan close up magic. So he

349
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: does all this close up magic and then Kreager's like,

350
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: don't don't mess with my money. You better watch it,

351
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: and then he throws out that disc but guess what

352
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: that was the disc and lu Fie freaks out. Ethan

353
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: then decides, well, before I can meet Max, I need

354
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: to go to this. I need to like go to

355
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 1: a train station to make a phone call. But then

356
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: when he's there, Jim Phelps shows up and he's back

357
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: to the from the dead and he's like, hey, uh,

358
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: I just barely got out of Prag. I've been on

359
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the run this whole time, and maybe I can help

360
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: you find the mole And oh my god, you've been

361
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: looking for Max. You got the necklos Holy shit, even

362
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: this is fucking sick. And meanwhile, the whole time, Ethan

363
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: is like, you killed the entire team. I know it

364
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: was you. Bitch's knows and I will know, and I

365
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: will say when this movie came out, I remember reading

366
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: reviews of it, and a lot of them were like,

367
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: it's confusing. Now from for my money, these movies have

368
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: only gotten more confusing, which is to say I'm not

369
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: pretty confused by them. But I but if you think

370
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: about the plot, all of a sudden, you're like, wait,

371
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

372
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: If you made it out bullet points right right? But

373
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: my confusing.

374
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: I think that those original critiques of Mission Impossible one

375
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: were about this particular scene, because Jim shows up and

376
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: they start debriefing, and then Ethan is They show this

377
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: flashback where Ethan is imagining Jim killing his entire team,

378
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: and I think that really fucked people up where they

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: were because I Am just kind of instinctively was like, oh,

380
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: this is Ethan imagining what happened, But I think everybody

381
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: got really confused.

382
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: But I think I think it's like open for interpretation

383
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: because it's John voy Jim and he's telling you what

384
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: happened and what the mole did. But the movie is

385
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: showing you that it was actually him, and it's clearly

386
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: is also meant to be understanding as he says it

387
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: that it's him. So it's like a really interesting weird

388
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: but also that's very diploma every deposter. He is mad confusing.

389
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: He makes a weird ass movie.

390
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 4: I think.

391
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 5: I think in that one they set that up when

392
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 5: he talks to Kiddridge earlier when he walks in. He

393
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: walks in and he's like and he clocks everybody, and like,

394
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 5: that's what that's for me. That was the first time

395
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 5: you got the sense that, oh, Ethan Hunt is like

396
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 5: a really special kind of persons.

397
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: Different than he.

398
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: Was able to memorize bank codes.

399
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 5: So when he does, when we see him do that earlier,

400
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: we know, oh that that was the actual scene that

401
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 5: was really happening. So when we see it when we

402
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: say with John Voyd, in my head, I was like, oh,

403
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 5: this is the real thing.

404
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: This is what's actually happened.

405
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great call out because one of my

406
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: favorite bits in this entire series is when they unveil

407
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: some crazy little talent that Ethan has, like when in

408
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: this man is talented in a ghost protocol when he

409
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: draws cobalt like.

410
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: A brot.

411
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: Mad Yeah you see this guy anyway? Okay, So Ethan

412
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: goes to the meat it's it's on the channel train

413
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: linking England and France.

414
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

415
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: Ethan then uses a Phelps mask wonderful mask gag to

416
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: try who Ethan has, like probably been fucking YouTube earlier on.

417
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: In the franchise.

418
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: I feel like one and two that like Ethan has

419
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: sex Ethan Fox.

420
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: But after that they've dialed it. Yeah, they've dialed fools

421
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: in love. So Ethan he gets Claire to admit that

422
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: she knows that him is the trader, and she's trying to, uh,

423
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, talk fake Jim into not killing Ethan, but

424
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: Ethan removes his glasses like Hi, it's me. Then real

425
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: Jim shows up.

426
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

427
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: Ethan puts on his glasses, the wonderful little glasses with

428
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: that wonderful little I can't believe that Jim didn't just

429
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: fucking shoot him, like, why are you reaching your pocket? Man? Like,

430
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: I guess he just really wanted.

431
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: To see what he thinks. That's good move when you

432
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 5: do it. This happens all the time in action movies.

433
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: They're like wait and they just do it slow, and

434
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: it's like it takes away, it takes away all of

435
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: the threat.

436
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: He's like very clearly about the bust time.

437
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: And he just real slow up on his head and

438
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 5: you're watching like, oh, fuck, damn it.

439
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: So now so he puts on the camera glasses and

440
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: now Kittridge knows that Jim Phelps is alive, which was

441
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna be Jim's whole thing. He's gonna get away with

442
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: the money and no one's ever gonna know that he

443
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: was really alive. Uh, And then Phelps shoots Claire. She

444
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: dies in fridge, dies in Ethan's arms, and Ethan is like, uh,

445
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: you were gonna betray me, but whatever, I probably love you.

446
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: Phelps then plans to escape by helicopter with Kreeger is

447
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: the pilot, but Ethan is Ethan. He looks the helicopter,

448
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: the train kills Phelips kills Kreeger, and then later at

449
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: the end of the movie, Ethan's like, you know what,

450
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do this IMF sh it anymore.

451
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: It's getting too crazy. I'm gonna settle down. I'm gonna

452
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: fucking get out of here. I'm gonna have a private life.

453
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: And then he's on the flight home and I love

454
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: the way you watch tech evolve over this movie. They

455
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: come with those little mini VHS's, which is probably pretty Yeah.

456
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: I like, would you like to watch a movie? How

457
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: about the movie, you know, the the cinema of I

458
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: forget which country it was this time, but it was

459
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: clearly Yeah, it was clearly an IMF passphrase. And guess

460
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: what Ethan is back in? Our thoughts are our round

461
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: the table thoughts of about Mission Impossible, the the initial

462
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: movie that launched the series, Shay.

463
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 4: This is the best one in the franchise. Is the

464
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: number one, the number one movie. It's it's to me.

465
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 5: It does all of the things right, It sets in

466
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 5: place everything we get. I love how they do the

467
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 5: thing in the very beginning of like, Ethan Hunt belongs

468
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: on a team. This is his team, and then they

469
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: just kill them all instantly. It's so much fun to

470
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 5: watch him set up his new team. It's so much

471
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: fun watching him do all of the piece. Again, you

472
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: mentioned the Langley heist is the number one set piece

473
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 5: across the history of the franchise. Tom Cruise has never

474
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 5: looked hotter. They introduced the mask.

475
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: It looks so great.

476
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 5: It's like the close up magic thing. I thought is

477
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 5: such a like close up magic is the dorkiest possible thing.

478
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: It's so dorky and it tells you so much about Ethan,

479
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: which is outside of ims.

480
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 5: That's hours and hours and hours of practice practice, And

481
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 5: I was so so happy and he did it like,

482
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: this's just perft. It's perfect. It's a perfect I.

483
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Know what you're thinking. I was up there, he was

484
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: down here.

485
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: He's just also really so good.

486
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 5: And this is a small thing and something that you

487
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 5: pick up on after having watched all the Fast and

488
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 5: the Furious movies twenty five times. They never shy away

489
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 5: from Ethan hunt being short like when you see yeah,

490
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 5: like never, they never do any camera trick. They just

491
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 5: in every movie and he's always like he's when he

492
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 5: taps him on the head with the with the thing,

493
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 5: he's way up here tapping them.

494
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like this guy fucking rules. This is the best.

495
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: I love this shit. Yeah, it's the best one.

496
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: They also another thing they do to your point, Shaye,

497
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: is they show him walk out of doors full body,

498
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: like you can measure him against the door if you

499
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: wanted to stop it.

500
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

501
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 4: Always hide your thoughts.

502
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible the first I think it's so great.

503
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: I love how it like melds the weird Noah styly

504
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: stuff that Deparma does so well. There's loads of shots

505
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: that are just like drenched in reds and purples, like

506
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: you're watching like a Gillo horror movie or something. It's

507
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: totally unexpected and strange when you watch it in contrast

508
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: with like the contemporary nineties like Action Cannon, and also

509
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: as well, like it does a good job of distilling

510
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: what people liked about the show, like the cold opens

511
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: where you're like putting the team together.

512
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: That's the beginning of the episodes of the show.

513
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Now.

514
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: I only know that because there is a show that

515
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: I love that also has that opening, which is the

516
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: Street Fighter cartoon.

517
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 3: And I was like, I need to know if this

518
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: is like I was like, I need to know if

519
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: this is like something.

520
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: Mission Impossible movies ripped off from Street Fighter, or if

521
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: street Fighter ripped off.

522
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: From the TV show, and they ripped off from the

523
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: TV show.

524
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: But like, I love the way that at the beginning

525
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: of every movie it's like Ethan's just chilling and someone

526
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: turns up and they're like, here's like a little special

527
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: message for you got to go on your trip. It

528
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: would be really easy for a studio to say, like,

529
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: don't do that. That's a TV thing, like that's something

530
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: you do every episode to show where the character is.

531
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: You don't need to do that in a movie. But

532
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 3: I love that they kind of stick to that.

533
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: Also it sets up I really love the cold open

534
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: and then the big credits with that Lalo Shiffer in

535
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: kind of this incredible score, which, by the way, I

536
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: do feel like if that score wasn't so iconic, these

537
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: movies probably wouldn't have gone to seven because just every

538
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: time you hear it, you're just like, yeah, like you

539
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: want to be screaming in the movie there like the

540
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: little things going off. Yeah, I love this movie. It's

541
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: so watchable, and you know what, for a movie made

542
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six.

543
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: It's very cool.

544
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: It's very like it's still very such a cool moment

545
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: and it's I agree with everything you said. I think

546
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: it's for me. It's the best in the series of

547
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: what is a very very excellent film series. And I

548
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: think it's the most and it's the most rewatchable one.

549
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: It's the one that I go back to the most.

550
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: X ray vision will be back and We're back. And

551
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: that brings us to the year two thousand's Mission Impossible too,

552
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: John Wu on the ones and twos this time, And

553
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: I will say John Wu had a wonderful moment in

554
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: the nineties coming over from Hong Kong action bringing that style,

555
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: and this movie is the moment where you know, I

556
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: think this is probably the worst movie, although it's not

557
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: on the worst one on my list, and yet there

558
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: are moments where his style is like transcendent, and then

559
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: there's moments where it's like a TeleNova crossed with a

560
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: cologne commercial.

561
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: No, I just have to say, I'm like, tha, I

562
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: am a number one John Woo Stan and I do

563
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: love this movie. I can understand this objective discussion of

564
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: like what's bad or not bad, but I think you're right.

565
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: There's certain things that translate really really well here from

566
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: John Wu's style, and there's certain things that don't and Also,

567
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: I think working within like a franchise space is very

568
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: different because if you watch something like Face Off, like

569
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: one of the best movies ever made, just fucking insane shit.

570
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: When you have that whole full freedom to just explore

571
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: and tell the story how you want and not be

572
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: worried and it's r rated, John Wu just goes crazy.

573
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: Like I saw that in a movie theater recently and

574
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: it was literally it was at videos and it was

575
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: literally sold out screen and it was like watching The Avengers,

576
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: like the way those drops hit. But you can't necessarily

577
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: have that same space and scope when you're making like

578
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: a franchise movie with a star.

579
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: So I think you're right.

580
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: Some of it is transcendent and you get those crazy

581
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: movies that.

582
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: I think this might be the movie with the most doves.

583
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: I think Jan loves a dove.

584
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: He loves a dove, and this is he really bought

585
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: the dove count.

586
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: But like I also think you make a good point,

587
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: like some some of it doesn't translate.

588
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: Well, I'll get to it, but it's in. I will

589
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: say that there's certain things here that are in bad

590
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: taste anyway. So one of Ethan Hunt's contexts is a

591
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: scientist named Vladimir who only knows Ethan by code named Dimitri,

592
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: and he tells Ethan that the Biocyite Pharmaceuticals Company is

593
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: a plan to release a supervirus called Kimera so it

594
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: can extort the world for a cure with its other product, Bellerophon.

595
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: He then injects himself with the virus in order to

596
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: steal it to give it to Ethan along the antidote,

597
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: which he also has. But when they meet, Ethan is

598
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: actually rogue. I am as a agent Ambrose ambrose plans are.

599
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I here's what's crazy about this movie. Amber, you actually

600
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck Ambrose wants until like the

601
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: end of the movie.

602
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: But doing this that is actually like pretty legit, So

603
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: like why didn't they just bring it up like earlier

604
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: on in the movie?

605
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: Also, I just I just think this.

606
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: Code open is so good because that first movie sets

607
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: up the mask and it's a tool that allows them

608
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: to win, and then this movie you get this really

609
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: slick kind of almost like Smammy Tom Cruise performance as Ethan,

610
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: and then the mask is the thing with Sean Ambrose

611
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: pretending to be Ethan hunt. The mask is the thing

612
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: that then sets off the conflict. I just think that's

613
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: such a cool narrative choice.

614
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: So Ambrose again Ambrose, no idea why he's doing this,

615
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: but just want to Yeah, he just wants to have it.

616
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: He'll later have a plan and I'll go into like

617
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: why it's weird that he then has a plan. Ethan

618
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: gets put Ethan's on vacation in Utah just like rock

619
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: climbing without any harnesses or fucking any free climbing. An

620
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: absolute psycho.

621
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: Cinematography in that shot is going all around, you know,

622
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: John climbing.

623
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: John lou was like losing his ship shooting this. This

624
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: is like the greatest moment in John was life. Anyway.

625
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: He then gets one of those self destructing messages, which

626
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: is delivered by helicopter which shoots a pair of only

627
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: sunglasses at him, which he then puts on to tell

628
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: him the message. Is this the craziest message delivery of

629
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the entire series?

630
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 5: Yes, it really is, because all the other ones are

631
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 5: like pretty normal. Here's a here's a little tiny VHS,

632
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 5: here's a here's an album you put on the record.

633
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: These are just are some sunglasses that if you don't

634
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: remove them immediately, you're blind.

635
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 4: They were your head.

636
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: This is actually like the most Zero's obviously like it's

637
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: the most.

638
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: It's two thousand, So it's a very two thousand movie.

639
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: You have like the metal like reimagining of the soundtrack.

640
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: I think that that was like a Metallica video where

641
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: they were like playing on top of the rock in Utah.

642
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: That was like connected to the movie. And the Oakley

643
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: sunglasses is like, it's so two thousand, you just can't

644
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: even imagine that. Somebody was like, yeah, that makes sense.

645
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Literally, like Hype Williams was like, get me a pathless

646
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: for every music video I do for this decade.

647
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 5: When they shoot that moment though even more than the

648
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 5: even more than the rock climbing, which is shot in

649
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 5: this really like very John will Way where it's just

650
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 5: like swooping around in and out of everything, but even

651
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 5: they shoot him taking the glasses off and throwing them

652
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: in a very dramatic stylized where you're like, oh, every

653
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 5: single moment is going to be like this, no matter what,

654
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: He's gonna walk into rooms and it's gonna do this

655
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 5: like it's dude.

656
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: It sets up the language instantly.

657
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: That's so true, And there is like so much slow

658
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: motion in this movie.

659
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Moment.

660
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: I mean just like talking and it's slow mo like

661
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm doing it.

662
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: So the message on the glasses is read by the

663
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: voice of the new IMF director, and the new IMF

664
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: director is Anthony Hopkins in one of the great money

665
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: grab rolls of.

666
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: All time, shows Up, gets the money and leave.

667
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: He was he was on set for like I don't

668
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: know eight hours and he was freaking done. Incredible ship

669
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: from my guy Anthony Hopkins, who tells Ethan that he

670
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: tells him all about what Ambrose has done. He's stolen

671
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: the virus, all that shit, and he says, Okay, what

672
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: you need to do is you need to recruit Ambrose's

673
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend, Naya, a globe trotting jewel thief. So Ethan

674
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: is like, okay, I'm on and I put my team together.

675
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: Ethan then goes to recruit Nia by in order like

676
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: staring at her over a Flamenco dance fucking up which

677
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: is in SloMo, fucking up her robbery, and then like

678
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: trying to run her off the road.

679
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: You know we're talking about Ethan's like amounts of cover

680
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: that he has, yet He's like somehow he is already

681
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: undercover as the head of security of the place that

682
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: she's trying to rob, so like, yeah, he can like

683
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: fuck around with a robbery because they just think that

684
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: he's like in charge of.

685
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: Seft planning bro. So, of course, after Ethan almost runs

686
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: her off the road multiple fucking times, Nya falls in

687
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: love with Ethan and they have sex.

688
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: Only sex scene I think in the entire schis when

689
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: you see them in bed.

690
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: Ethan then tells Nia that, Okay, here's listen, you need

691
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: to get back together with your ex boyfriend Ambrose because

692
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: he's got this super virus and we need to figure

693
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: out what's going on. Uh. And she's like what really

694
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: and he's like yes. Ambrose then goes to Australia to

695
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: extort the CEO of Biosite, and later Ambrose, using another

696
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Hunt mask, figures out that Naya is working for Hunt.

697
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: He gets her to admit it, and meanwhile Hunt figures

698
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: out that Ambrose doesn't actually have the virus. So Ethan

699
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: figures if he can break in a biosite kill all

700
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the virus, the whole problem is solved. But then Ambrose,

701
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: who just like hates Ethan for I don't know why,

702
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: but he fucking really hates him. Is like, I know

703
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: that Hunt is going to do this because Hunt loves

704
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: doing shit like this, and we're going to ambush him.

705
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 3: There.

706
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 1: So Biosite is creating super viruses and their vent goes

707
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: straight to the atmosphere. The ventom the top of the

708
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: lab goes straight up into the atmosphere. People, what are

709
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: we doing?

710
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: No planning, no planning, So.

711
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: Even kills all the virus, has a shootout with Ambrose's people.

712
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: There's some incredible SlowMo here. But then Ambrose reveals that

713
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: he has Naya and he knows that Night has been

714
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: working for him, and he throws her. He shoves her

715
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: in there and is like he sluedt shames her. Dude

716
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: compares it to a monkey at one nice Like yeah,

717
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: very bad, because very bad.

718
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 2: Very also as well, like I love Danny in this role.

719
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 2: She does it, she plays it really well, but.

720
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 3: Like she really does get the shit end of the

721
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: to do here, not.

722
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 2: Even that she gets, like it's before they really started

723
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: writing great action in for the women of this franchise,

724
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: which later on does happen very very well. But also

725
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: like the US Government, a shadow agency of the US

726
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: government essentially coerces her into getting back with her abusive

727
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 2: ex boyfriend who has like a crazy fucking virus, and

728
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: and Ethan didn't originally hire her for that. He like, Oh,

729
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 2: it's just because you're a cool, like catwoman style thief.

730
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna be thieving stuff together. And he's like, actually, like,

731
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 2: can you just go and sleep with your acts?

732
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: Like I'm chill with it.

733
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Ethan at one point says, listen, if you gotta, if

734
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: you gotta fuck him again, you gotta, like there's a

735
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: world's on the line here, which is why I.

736
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 3: Say it, And then Sean says the same thing to him. Yeah,

737
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: Ethan mosque to double down.

738
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: Which is why I say there's there's something distasteful about

739
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: this movie, and it's this stuff. I love my guy

740
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: John Wu, but my guy John Wu has always been

741
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: He's got two things that he does with his female characters.

742
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: One this over the top romance soap opera ish almost plot.

743
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: You see it in The Killer you see it and

744
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: all many of his Hong Kong movies where like the

745
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: hard boiled h anti hero, just like false head over

746
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: heels in love with this weak woman who can't protect themselves.

747
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: And this is this is Tandy Newton's character here and

748
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: then and then secondarily to your point, does not give

749
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: them much do except be like a damsel in distress essentially.

750
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: So this is John's m O. Sadly and I live,

751
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: and it doesn't translate.

752
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, I would love for the day like he was

753
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: gonna do that female version of the Killer with the

754
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: piter neongo, Like.

755
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: I want to see something like that because I know

756
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: he can do it.

757
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that Tandy brings enough to this

758
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 2: character that you're still invested in what's going on with her,

759
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: but the script does not give her that, and like

760
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: the way these dudes treat her.

761
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 3: But I will.

762
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: Say I definitely had like a funny Mandela effect or Mandel.

763
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: Like with this man, because like I was sure that

764
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: she died. I was like, they just kill her off

765
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: because it's impossible. But she actually doesn't go I won't

766
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: get to that. I'll get to it.

767
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: I'll get to it, because I'm very excited to get

768
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: to that part of it. Okay, So Naya, Everyone's like,

769
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: go get the last Vergio, last vial of chimera that exists,

770
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: Go get it and bring it to me. And then

771
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: he's like uh, you know, doesn't know what to do.

772
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: Don't do it, don't do it. And Nia is like, ah,

773
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: I figured the way out. I'm going to inject myself

774
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: with the last Why didn't she do that? Well, she

775
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: because I guess that would destroy it. I don't It's

776
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: a good question. There's a lot of questions like that.

777
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: So she injects herself with the virus, and now Ethan

778
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: knows he's got twenty hours to save her life. And

779
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: now Ambrose knows that the only way he can like

780
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: go through with whatever again, whatever his plan is, we

781
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: don't actually know what his plan is. Is to keep

782
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: her alive because she's got the virus in her body,

783
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: which why can't you just take her blood and make

784
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: more of the virus.

785
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I don't know.

786
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know like his little typhoid Mary plan.

787
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: I think it comes more from a place of vengeance.

788
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: Because he's like, you'll always be remembered for being like

789
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: patient zero, like the worst patients there. But surely I

790
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: thought this would actually be good for him because now

791
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: he would have a living version of the virus, like

792
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: and he could you know, take it to bias site

793
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: and get whatever he wants. But sure showan Ambers that

794
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: he's he's unhinged guy his plans none of us can

795
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: normal people cannot understand him.

796
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: You mentioned Ambrose's new plan, which is to just let

797
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Nia walk around and get everyone sick. And then and

798
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: then so now he unveils his plan, let Nia walk around,

799
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: she gets everyone sick. I give the antidote to Biosite

800
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: in exchange for like ten thousand, ten million shares of stock,

801
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: and then I sell the stock which will go through

802
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: the roof because Biosite has the only antidote, and I

803
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: become a billionaire. Okay, But like Biosite was already gonna

804
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: release the virus, So why didn't you just like buy

805
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: Biosite stock and don't do any of this stuff, Like

806
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: like why didn't.

807
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 3: You You don't have any money.

808
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna happen.

809
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: So he doesn't want any money.

810
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: We threw all of this. Just buy Biosite stock and

811
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: let it happen.

812
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: Because when you work for the im efforts like being

813
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: Sam Wilson and Falcon and the way, it's as like

814
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: I've been doing black ops for the government, but like

815
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: my bag's empty.

816
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: They don't pay very well. You do it for the

817
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 3: you do it for your country, Shay.

818
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: If you find out that biosite is about to release

819
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: a virus into the air so that they can then

820
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: sell everyone the antidote, do you tell people or do

821
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: you buy biosite stock.

822
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy. I'm gonna buy so much biosyte. I'm

823
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: not telling anybody.

824
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: You're not telling any You're actually telling me. It's like

825
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: so rich, You're like, Biosyite kind of sucks. I had

826
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 2: a stock's gonna drop suit.

827
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, sho short, bioso short.

828
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 5: Bios The first the first thing they'll hear from me

829
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 5: about it is how rich I got off of it.

830
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 4: That'll be the first.

831
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So one of Ambrose's guys captures Ethan, which is,

832
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: let me tell you, this is mistake number one that

833
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Sean Ambrose is about to make. Ambrose then is like,

834
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: guess what you gotta die? He kills he shoots Ethan.

835
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: But Ethan, of course was one of ambrose guys in

836
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: an Ethan mask, and real Ethan is now escaping on

837
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: a motorcycle, the first motorcycle chase of the Mission Impossible series. Yes,

838
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: and he's got the antidote, Ethan kills him. All of

839
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: Ambrose's raining guys beats Ambrose's acid slow motion on the beach,

840
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: killing it it too. And while all this is going,

841
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: Nia is like, I don't know, I guess I'll jump

842
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: off a cliff so I don't get everybody sick, but

843
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: that would still get everybody sick anyway. But then Ethan

844
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: comes through with the with the antidote, just with like

845
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: minutes on the clock, and then Ethan and Nya live

846
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: happily ever after that's it. Even and ny are.

847
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 5: Together forever rif she they're together until part three, and

848
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 5: then they're.

849
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 3: Not until they decided no more Handy She's an. I'm like,

850
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: I would have loved to see how come back and

851
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: like get a cool action right.

852
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 4: I thought she was going to pop up.

853
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 2: This way and give her like that big chunky Rebecca

854
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: ferguson Star Action sequence.

855
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: Yes, she never really wanted to have that.

856
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: You know this is it was so funny. I could

857
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: have sworn in my head like I was. I was

858
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 2: logging on lad books and I'm like, I'm gonna be like,

859
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 2: this movie is really fun, except for like when the

860
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: government co us took a woman into like giving ourself

861
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 2: an evil virus made by her abusive X or something,

862
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: and then she died, and then I was like, oh,

863
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: she's just chill, Like did that virus not have any

864
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: problem that body?

865
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 3: Like it didn't cause anything. She's just like it's fine.

866
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 3: And then they're just in the park, which I feel

867
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 3: like is a dangerous place for had to be.

868
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: Shouts also to Brendan Gleeson for being in this movie

869
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: for five minutes a guy dying of chimera, and.

870
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: Then he's fine as well because he's the head of biosite,

871
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: so he's also making law money.

872
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: Shay your thoughts on Mission Impossible too.

873
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 5: We went from the best of the franchise to this

874
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 5: is the least best of the franchise.

875
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 4: There's not there's not.

876
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 5: Let me say, they scrub pretty much all of Mission

877
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 5: Impossible too from franchise. Afterward, you don't find much of

878
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 5: what was in there, like you doing Mission Impossible one.

879
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 5: The one thing they do keep is the motorcycle stuff,

880
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 5: like that's they put even Hunter on a motorcycle. We

881
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 5: should be thankful for that because that one, that one,

882
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 5: much like the mask always works. Just put him on

883
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 5: there and let him go one hundred and thirty five

884
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 5: miles per hour down in alley and it's great, that's awesome,

885
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 5: it's wonderful. But beyond that, this is this is, this

886
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 5: is in my last place. If we're putting them all

887
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 5: in order, that's where this one sits. And I love

888
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 5: John Will, a big John Will guy. He perfected his

889
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 5: style in ninety two with Hard Boiled, Put it all Together.

890
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: He shows up in America, he does hard Target and

891
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 5: it's like not quite, but then he does face off

892
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 5: or I think he does a broken arrow after that,

893
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 5: but then face off and you're like, there it is.

894
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 5: That's what I was looking for. Thanks for thanks for

895
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 5: playing John Will. And then he gives you Mission impossible,

896
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 5: and you're like, all right, whatever, I'll see you later.

897
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 4: But well, you know, it is what it is. It's

898
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 4: it's the last place on the list.

899
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: I think Mission Impossible proof that you can give a

900
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: director too much, you can level up too quickly. And

901
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: I think he had too much money, too many resources,

902
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: too much slow mo, too many doves, and it just

903
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: became too much.

904
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 5: You know what is what is cool though, And I'm

905
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 5: sure we'll get to this when we get to to

906
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 5: five six and seven. The thing that they're doing where

907
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 5: they're bringing in different director each time. It's really from

908
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 5: one to two. You see it the most. In part one,

909
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 5: Ethan hunt very rarely, if ever, has a gun in

910
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 5: his hand, like it's not a thing that he does. Yes, yes, yes,

911
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 5: even all the rest of the characters in the movie too.

912
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 5: And then for this one, it's like every single person

913
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 5: is always pointing a gun at somebody else for the

914
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 5: entirety of the movie. Like that sort of stuff is

915
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 5: fun to watch in retrospect when you're gonna like I'm

916
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 5: gonna burn through all of them and like mark the

917
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 5: differences or whatever.

918
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is this is this is the last place.

919
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: It's very interesting.

920
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: Actually you bring that up because something that I thought

921
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: is really wild when you watch these movies. And two

922
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: definitely is the big turning point. But then they kind

923
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 2: of it goes back and forward, so like when you're

924
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 2: a comic book person, right, one of the big arguments

925
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: is like does Batman kill because allegedly he has this

926
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: rule where he says he never kills and the mission

927
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: of possible movies, I can't have a pretty strong argument

928
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: after watching these these are essentially Batman movies and Tom

929
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 2: cruises Batman and the villains are his.

930
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 3: Rogues and blah blah blah.

931
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: But like the first movie, they establish this idea that, like,

932
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to kill anyone innocent. That's why they

933
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 2: don't just kill that guy right and use his body.

934
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 2: They make him sick. And there's even jokes throughout the

935
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: franchise about how like Ethan would go out of his

936
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: way to not kill a security guard, and like people

937
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: are like, that's his weakness, but into that law is

938
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 2: not there. Yeah, So I think that that is actually

939
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 2: a big part. Like, like you said, Jason, he kills

940
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: so many people, and I will say it gets a

941
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: bit murkier as you go on, because like he gets

942
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: this kind of more vengeful streak, I would say, and

943
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: he's like got more people to care about. But I

944
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: do think that's one of the most interesting things, which

945
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: is the idea that in this morally gray space, he

946
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: does always have this moral where he's like trying to

947
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: save people.

948
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: We move to Mission Impossible three two thousand and six,

949
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: just kidding about Ethan and Nihiley. Happily. Ever, after Ethan

950
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: has moved on, he is now engaged to the true

951
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: love of his life. Julia a nurse who knows nothing

952
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: of what Ethan does and thinks in fact that he

953
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: works for the Department of Transportation, and I guess has

954
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: to leave like in the middle of the night because

955
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: of transportation emergencies or something.

956
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: It's really weird.

957
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: He does a great job selling it and rhapsodizing about

958
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: traffic patterns and being like, eh, traffic is a memory.

959
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 1: It's fucking amazing. It's really really fun to watch Ethan

960
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: pretend to be a normal guy. Now I will mention

961
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: what is so fucking crazy about this movie to me?

962
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Davian killing he is. He's the

963
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: best villain of the series in my opinion. And I

964
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: think that JJ. There's a lot of director churn in this.

965
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: Fincher was supposed to do it, then Joe carnhi and quit,

966
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: and they eventually got JJ to do it. And I

967
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: think JJ must have been looking at this movie and

968
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: been like, holy shit, the best thing we have is

969
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: fucking Phillip's him or Huffman. So they do something totally insane,

970
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: which is put the end of the movie in the beginning.

971
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 2: They with media like the most extreme version.

972
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: They open with five minutes of the confrontation between the

973
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: hero and the villain from the end of the movie

974
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: in the beginning, which is so nuts.

975
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 4: You don't think I'll do it, I'll do it.

976
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: A rabbit foot.

977
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: Only one thing is more unined to me in this

978
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: movie than that choice, which is the needle drops in

979
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: this movie are so insane, Like, I guess they had

980
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: a lot of money and because they wanted him to

981
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: be like a normal guy, they were like, what songs

982
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 2: the normal people listen to? But it's like the most

983
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: famous songs in the world. There's literally a chase sequence

984
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: where he's running down the street and they're playing We

985
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: Are Family by Sister Sledge, and it's just like, what

986
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 2: is going on with the music direction in this movie?

987
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 2: Like every song is like a cookout banger that like

988
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 2: your uncle would play.

989
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 3: It's like the and it makes no sense. Tonally is

990
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: very strange.

991
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: So Ethan gets called to a meeting with imf OPS

992
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: guy John Musgrave. They meet in convenience store and he

993
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: tells Ethan that one of your colleagues who you had

994
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: mentored and maybe you're in love with, maybe have one

995
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: of these famous This is the movie that establishes Ethan

996
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: as a guy who just gets crushes on people everyone.

997
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: So your ex colleague Lindsay is currently the prisoner of

998
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: evil arms dealer Owen Davian, so Ethan has a team

999
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: assembled for him by John Musgrave. He goes to get

1000
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: Ethan out, but before and he gets her out, but

1001
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: before they can get all the way away, this explosive

1002
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: pellet in Lindsay's head detonates and she dies and Ethan

1003
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: is really really pissed. It's a gory, shocking scene.

1004
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 2: I will also say this sets up with the legend

1005
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: Carrie Russell. This does set up women getting good action

1006
00:49:55,719 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: sequences escaped as well, and then they get they kind

1007
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 2: of have to shoot their way out. Is like a

1008
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 2: very classical action sequence.

1009
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 3: I would have liked to see us to.

1010
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: Crown Longa same. Maybe we'll do a flashback.

1011
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 5: They got it out of that quick. When she when

1012
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 5: the thing goes off in her head. I love that

1013
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 5: it doesn't just explode all gory Quentin Tarantino styles, it's

1014
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 5: just her eyes go and you're like, oh fuck that

1015
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 5: that's not fixable.

1016
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: It's really scary, and they keep the camera on it

1017
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: for a long time.

1018
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's very.

1019
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: Lindsay mailed Ethan a postcard from Berlin before she died,

1020
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: and it contains a micro dot, which no one can read.

1021
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Luthor shouts to Luthor straight up asks Ethan like, what's

1022
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: the do you were you in love with Lindsay? Fucking

1023
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay and he's like, no, she's like my sister, but

1024
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: the one hundred percent again they fucked okay, so uh.

1025
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: They take the micro dot to Benji his first appearance

1026
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: in the movie series, and uh, it's He can't do

1027
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: anything with it either, but he does get some stuff

1028
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: off a hard drive that tells them Dave will be

1029
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: in the Vatican doing a deal for something called the

1030
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: Rabbit's Foot, which we never really find out what it.

1031
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 3: Is incredible that they never tell you.

1032
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: I love that's great, I love it.

1033
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 3: And they give him.

1034
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 2: An option to find out and he won't do it.

1035
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't take it, so you never know.

1036
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: Ethan then tells Julia that again, we've got this traffic

1037
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: emergency somewhere and I gotta go. She's like, do you

1038
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: know want to marry me? And he's like, oh, yes,

1039
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: I do. Watch this and they get married right there

1040
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: in the hospital. Ethan then breaks into the Vatican with

1041
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: his team, which includes like the least believable Italian road

1042
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: rage incident ever in the moment reason when Ethan climbs

1043
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: the wall of the Vatican, lays on top and says,

1044
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: humpty dumpty sat on a wall?

1045
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 3: Did he like?

1046
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: Who wrote that way?

1047
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: The right?

1048
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 3: That did not make it the script?

1049
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 4: Boss?

1050
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: Like if it was in that.

1051
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: He Ethan and his team captured Davian. Ethan interrogates him,

1052
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: but Davian just talks about like, I'm gonna kill your

1053
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: wife you have, you have a girl friend, someone you

1054
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 1: care about.

1055
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kill her, I'm.

1056
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: And Ethan is like, oh yeah, watch this, I'm gonna

1057
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: hang you out the fucking back of the airplane. Uh.

1058
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: But Davian doesn't crack because Davian knows that Ethan won't

1059
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: do it, But he does figure out what Ethan's name

1060
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: is because Luther keeps going is it stop. Musgrave then

1061
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: tells IMF director Morpheus that Hunt picked up Davian. Uh

1062
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, uh, we think that his real name is Brassol.

1063
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: We think that Brassel is working with Davian, because that's

1064
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: what the microdot says. They have finally decrypted the micro dot. Sadly,

1065
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: Ethan just gets this info too late, and there's an

1066
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: ambush of his convoy and Davian escapes by a chopper

1067
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: and he's staring at Ethan the whole fucking way. Uh oh. Meanwhile,

1068
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: Davian already has a guy kidnapping Julia from the hospital,

1069
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: like that's happening, eing like in that moment, and Davian

1070
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: calls Ethan is like, get me my fucking briefcase because

1071
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: it has a location of the rabbit's foot. You have

1072
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, start your watch now, and if you

1073
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: don't get it, Julia fucking dies.

1074
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

1075
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: Brassel then has Ethan rested tied to a table, but

1076
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: he fucking escapes with Musgrave's help, and Musgrave points him

1077
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: to apartment in Shanghai. Uh. Ethan and his team locate

1078
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: the rabbit's foot, even Spider Man's into the sky into

1079
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: the building, steals the rabbit's foot base, jumps to the street,

1080
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 1: and then calls Davi in with five seconds of o'clock,

1081
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: gets in a limo where he's like ordered to drink

1082
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: pure roofy juice, and when he wakes up, we're in

1083
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the movie. Uh, this incredible confrontation between

1084
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: Davian and And and Ethan Hunt and it's really like

1085
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: a fucking masterclass. Like I watch this scene a lot

1086
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: just to figure out, like how how did how does

1087
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: Philip Seymour Hoffman create this much intensity just repeating stuff?

1088
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

1089
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: Also, can I just say we get a rare moment

1090
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 2: we didn't like it's it's kind of passing. But there

1091
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 2: is a sequence in this movie where Philip Simo Hoffman

1092
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 2: is playing Tom Cruise, playing Philips Mouffman, and it's comedy,

1093
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: Like he's done.

1094
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 3: Somebody brings this like real understanding of physical body. It's

1095
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 3: so good you just immediately buy it.

1096
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 2: Like he can go from that to doing this, like

1097
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: you said, this super intense, terrifying thing. And because we

1098
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 2: don't know what the rabbit's foot is and we know

1099
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: that Ethan is telling the truth that he doesn't know,

1100
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 2: it's really scary. It's very because even thinks he gave

1101
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 2: him the right thing.

1102
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: There's that he does this thing Tom Cruise where he's

1103
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: like he's trying to bluff. He's trying to bluff. I'll

1104
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: get it. It's in Paris, and then finally he just

1105
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: like he's he can't come to the chair, but he

1106
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: just like shakes in his handcuffs as if like they're

1107
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna break it. He could get out and get to

1108
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: Davian and strangle him, but he can, of course, and

1109
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: Davian shoots Julia in front of Ethan because I'm done.

1110
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: It is a fucking mask trick and one of the

1111
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: best ones of the whole series because they.

1112
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: Had me, you never even they had me movie so

1113
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: many times, and when I rewatched it this time, I

1114
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: was like.

1115
00:54:58,480 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 3: Well, I can't believe they killed Julia.

1116
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: They had me before. Musgrave pops up and guess what,

1117
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: he's the real trader, a great trader move, and apparently

1118
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: Julia was Davian's translator who failed him at the Vatican,

1119
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: so he decided to have her killed. What a fucking

1120
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: cold hearted bastard he is, and Moss put her in

1121
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: a mask. Musgrave has been secretly working with Davian to

1122
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: deliver the Rabbit's foot so that the US, I guess,

1123
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: would have reasons to like nuke Alcato.

1124
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: Okay, America is always I have to say, do love this.

1125
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: America is usually the bad guy in this movie. They

1126
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 2: do a really good job with that, where the US

1127
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: government's always up to some shady shit that ends up

1128
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 2: causing these problems.

1129
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually like his Musgrave, who by the way,

1130
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: is a piece of shit and says that Brassel only

1131
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: got the job because of affirmative action racist but also

1132
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: like his, his whole thing is we're not doing enough

1133
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: against her. We actually should just nuke him, like we

1134
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 1: should just fun strike Newcomb anyway he wants. He's like, listen,

1135
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: I will give you Julia, but you got to tell

1136
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: me what's on the micro dot. He no one knows

1137
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: what's on the micro He still has no idea. Also,

1138
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: Musgrave is the reason Lindsay got captured. Blah blah blah.

1139
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: Ethan then asks for proof of life. Musgrave calls Julia

1140
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: and Ethan is like, well, guess what now, I have

1141
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: the location of where the cell phone that is near

1142
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 1: Julia is and I'm gonna break free. So he breaks free.

1143
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: He gets to Julia. He kills Davian by holding him

1144
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: in the path of a fucking truck, and Julia shoots

1145
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: two guys after electric treating Ethan to stop the bomb

1146
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: in his head from detonating. Uh. And then they get

1147
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: married and she takes a tour of the IMF building,

1148
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: which is way to hold on a second, you're letting

1149
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: her see the im not just that.

1150
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: But like IMF has a building, because I will say,

1151
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 2: as you as.

1152
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 3: You keep watching these movies, what.

1153
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: IMF is becomes more clear and more unclear, So I

1154
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 2: am is really just whoever Ethan Hunt chooses it to be,

1155
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 2: like it's just the crew.

1156
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 3: As crazy, So like how do they have a building?

1157
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 2: And also like, yeah, how are you just taking your

1158
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 2: wife around there.

1159
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: Of the iron best building? Shay your final thoughts on

1160
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible three.

1161
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 4: There was a there was a roller coaster in astral

1162
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 4: World in Houston called Grease Lightning. And the way that

1163
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 4: that roller coaster work, you sit in it and opposite

1164
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 4: of like a normal roller coaster that takes its way

1165
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: up and then you drop down, this one goes from

1166
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 4: zero to like eighty miles per hour in three seconds, right,

1167
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 4: just takes off some sort of magnet technology or whatever

1168
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 4: pune out of there gone.

1169
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 5: That's what this movie feels like the way that it starts.

1170
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 5: You go from the credits to this to to maybe

1171
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 5: the best back and forth that we get across the

1172
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 5: entire franchise. I think with Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is

1173
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 5: arguably the greatest actor of his generation, and Tom Cruise,

1174
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 5: who you forget because you're so used to watching them

1175
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 5: pirouet on themtorcycle. Oh, he's a really fucking good actor too,

1176
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 5: And it's just these two people going back and forth.

1177
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 5: You get that that great opening. This is the movie

1178
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 5: that introduces the idea, oh, we can be like, let's

1179
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 5: be funny.

1180
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes that's kind of yeah, we can be funny.

1181
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 3: There's campiness in this one.

1182
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly they do.

1183
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 5: They set it up really early with the party when

1184
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 5: Ethan gets a call and he just like throws it.

1185
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 5: They just show him real quick, throw the ice dress out.

1186
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 5: Honeywere at ice.

1187
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, that's a really good guess.

1188
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 5: You get the best, you get the best villain in

1189
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 5: the franchise. You get the introduction of the movie being

1190
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 5: the series being funny. You're the most surprising betrayal, which

1191
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 5: you mentioned with with that with Musgrave or whatever his

1192
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 5: name is, you have the fucking mask trick again. You

1193
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 5: also you also have this is I think this is

1194
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 5: the first time they do the like they try to

1195
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,479
Speaker 5: make it look like a one shot where they're panning

1196
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 5: around while they're putting the mask on, because it always

1197
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 5: looks Hoffman mask.

1198
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, and they and they have some really

1199
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 2: cool tricks that they did, like practical where they would

1200
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 2: have a different act that whoever the mosque is supposed

1201
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: to look like like in front of him and it

1202
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 2: looks like it's a mirror.

1203
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1204
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:03,959
Speaker 3: I think that's in one of the earlier ones.

1205
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,439
Speaker 2: And it's like and he's putting on as really cool man,

1206
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: I do I feel like narratively.

1207
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 3: This movie is like a little bit jumbled, Like.

1208
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 2: That's the one thing when I was watching it where

1209
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 2: I was just like, it's kind of like you said,

1210
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: roller coaster is a great description, I think, because I

1211
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: totally agree. The opening is like boom, you're out there,

1212
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: but then there's like it meanders and it's it's.

1213
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 3: Still super fun.

1214
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: But there's definitely some moments where I was like, I

1215
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,959
Speaker 2: feel like they edited it differently, maybe because they wanted

1216
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 2: to bring philipsy Mohoffman that stuff earlier in so this

1217
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: that's the one thing, but it's just like such a

1218
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: fun Again, these movies are also fun to me to watch.

1219
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: Great action scene on the bridge, one of the I

1220
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: think one of the coolest action scenes in the movie too,

1221
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: where the drone attack on the bridge. Just fun movie.

1222
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 4: Uh, this is the fifth place movie.

1223
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's your in your ranking, I would, I would. Yeah,

1224
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 2: this is definitely down for me in the in the

1225
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: lower tier. But like I said, I think that all good.

1226
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: It's a very for franchise consistency. This is probably one

1227
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: of the most consistent franchises out that of any genre.

1228
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 4: It's the best series movie franchise we've ever gotten.

1229
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: I think it's an incredibly consistent movie franchise. There's no

1230
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: bad movies in this not really except anyway, except two,

1231
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: which is bad. But I still enjoy.

1232
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: You can still enjoy watching it.

1233
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Do you know?

1234
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 3: It's not like so bad Draft of Time.

1235
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: It off well, now we will go to what is personally,

1236
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: I admit that two is the worst. But this is

1237
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: my least favorite movie in the series. It's Ghost Protocol

1238
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty eleven's Ghost Protocol Mission Impossible four Ethan. As things

1239
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,959
Speaker 1: look so great with Juliet, he had come clean, told

1240
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: her his whole life, showed her the IMF building where

1241
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: he to eat. Here's the break room, honey. Now Ethan

1242
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: is divorced and in jail. We open on a wonderful

1243
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: jail break where the IMF is getting Ethan at jail

1244
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: because they need him to figure out the identity of Cobalt.

1245
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Cobalt is some terrorist who has stole a bunch of

1246
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Russian launch codes because of a failed mission that involved

1247
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Sawyer from Lost. Ethan uses the jail break as an

1248
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to do a side mission, getting his buddy Bogg

1249
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: done out too. Ethan and his team, now including Benji

1250
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: because he passed the field, examine Jane Carter infiltrate the

1251
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Kremlin where they hope to find COBALT's identity. But Ethan

1252
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: finds the drawer where the fucking thingy with the Cobalt

1253
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: identity is supposed to be it's fucking empty, and Cobalt

1254
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: gets on the radio is like, hey, what's up. The

1255
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: IMF's here, and then the Kremlin entirely blows up and

1256
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: all of the IMF has been outed there on the

1257
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: hook for what is surely an active war, with the

1258
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: destruction of the of the entire Kremlin in Moscow.

1259
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Starting another important franchise trope. Which is touched on in

1260
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 2: the first movie. But the idea of like the IMF

1261
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: being disavowed, the IMF being shut down, and then the

1262
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 2: rogue nature of Ethan Hunt's missions becomes like a pot

1263
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 2: and postle of what has to happen because nobody's supporting them. Also,

1264
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 2: the jailbreak scene is fucking sick. Like they did such

1265
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: a good job that one. I feel like you're really

1266
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 2: starting to see the handtang combat influence coming in a

1267
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 2: way that hasn't before.

1268
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 5: That's also that's also the moment where they where they

1269
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 5: like make it as loud and obvious as possible that

1270
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 5: Ethan Hunt is not superman. He can't beat up every

1271
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 5: single person. Yeah, like they have the it's a really

1272
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 5: great moment when they're during the jail break scene and

1273
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 5: he walks into the cell and then you just see

1274
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 5: him come out backwards with a bigger.

1275
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 3: Guy seven Fea's like.

1276
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 5: No, no, you go ahead, you got it, you got it.

1277
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 5: Like they start giving you those those moments which they played.

1278
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 5: It's a great effect as this franchise goes on and on.

1279
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everyone now thinks the IMF blew up the Kremlin.

1280
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: Ethan escapes from the hospital just as he's about to

1281
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: be interrogated by this Russian cop. I will get to

1282
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: this whole Russian cop plot line in a second at

1283
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: the end of this thing, and I explained to you

1284
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: why that is part of why this is my least

1285
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: favorite movie, the whole thing. Ethan then goes to meet

1286
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: IMF director Arthur Edens from Michael Clayton and his chief analyst,

1287
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Billy Brandt aka Hawkeye from the Marvel movies. Ethan draws

1288
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: a fucking great fully sketch of Cobalt on his head,

1289
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: like ig fucking credit.

1290
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: In five seconds, he draws COBALT's face on his sweaty hand,

1291
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 2: down his sweaty hand, and Brandon is like, yeah, that's

1292
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: Kurt Hendricks. I love the way that they were like,

1293
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to do a lot of exposition in

1294
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 2: this movie, so let's introduce like an analyst.

1295
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 3: Who you show him a picture of anyone he knows

1296
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 3: who it is.

1297
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 2: That's like the best weird expeci so much so silly.

1298
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: So brand Yeah is like, yeah, that's uh, that's Kurt Hendrix.

1299
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: He's insane. He's got one hundred and ninety IQ former

1300
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: Swedish special forces. He's crazy. He wants to blow up nukes. Uh.

1301
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: He apparently blew up the Kremlin so no one would

1302
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: know that he stole whatever the thing is that launches

1303
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Russia's nuke some device, and the President has, as you mentioned,

1304
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: initiated ghost protocol, meaning all of the IMF is disavowed.

1305
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: The director tells Ethan that you're gonna fucking go to

1306
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the chair for the attack on the Kremlin, unless you

1307
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: like maybe attacking the shale and escape, and then you

1308
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: go to this safe house which is hidden in a train,

1309
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: where you'll meet the rest of your team, and then

1310
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: maybe you find Colbalt. I don't know, it's crazy, right.

1311
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Here's like a USB drive with all the stuff you

1312
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: need that you took off me, but you put me

1313
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: in a headlock and you got it off me. And

1314
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: just as he's telling this whole spiel, they really are attacked.

1315
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: Russian security forces attack the suv, the directors killed, an,

1316
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: Ethan and Brand escape where they meet the IMF team

1317
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: at the safehouse disguised as a cargo train. Jane and

1318
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Benji are already there. Ethan tells them everything that's happened,

1319
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and they go to the burge Khalifa, where the plan

1320
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: is to steal the codes from the super assassin Sabine

1321
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: and also trink COBALT's side into thinking that he actually

1322
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: has the codes. At the urge, Benji discovers that the

1323
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: team needs to get into the server room by climbing

1324
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: on the outside, which is purely created so that Tom

1325
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Cruise to be on the outside of the Believer is

1326
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: the only reason that this plot exists, and they don't

1327
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: need to do it, but they did it so he

1328
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:15,479
Speaker 1: could climb out there.

1329
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: And this one establishes again like this is a major

1330
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 2: turning point in the franchise because this becomes the part

1331
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 2: where this big stunt that Tom Cruise does becomes the

1332
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 2: talking point of the movie. So it's the It's the

1333
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Fast five, you know, the reboot of the franchise that

1334
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: people kind of And I think that's why for other

1335
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 2: like for people outside of this Zoom, this one is

1336
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: really ranks really high. Is also on the lower end

1337
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: for me, But I do think, like I like that

1338
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 2: because you know, I've watched I watch a lot of

1339
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: broadcast TV and a lot of old weird movies on

1340
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: broadcast TV, and the amount of time that they spent

1341
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: on both real broadcast and on like Pluto like Fast

1342
01:05:53,880 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 2: Stuff showing a making of documentary that was like two

1343
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: and off minutes long about Tom Cruise doing the motorcycle

1344
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 2: stunt in the new movie.

1345
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 3: So like that is how they're marketing is it's not

1346
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: even a trailer.

1347
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 2: It's like, look at the crazy shit he did, and

1348
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen without the budj Khalifa sequence in this that,

1349
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 2: like you said, it's just that, so Tom Cruise can

1350
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 2: say he climbed to in real life.

1351
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: So COBALT's henchman, Wistrom arrives and he's brought this cryptographer

1352
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: guy who can apparently look at codes and be like

1353
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: that's fake or that's real. So now the team has

1354
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: no choice but to sell Wistrom the real codes. Brandt

1355
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: is like, don't do it, but then the mask machine

1356
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: breaks and so then they have to do this double ruse,

1357
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: double by ruse with their real faces. Ethan as Wistrom

1358
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: meeting Sabine Jane as Sabine doing the worst French accent

1359
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: in the history of this film series meeting Wishtrom and

1360
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: the crypto guy, and Benji plays a waiter with fake

1361
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: with a fake arm. At the end of all this,

1362
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Wistrom gets away with the real codes and it's bad.

1363
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: Ethan then is like, I know what we're gonna do.

1364
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 1: I got a guy in town. It's fucking Bogdan from

1365
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the movie, who introduces Ethan to an

1366
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: arms dealer who moves things along for them, gets them

1367
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: to Mumbai where apparently Cobalt is gonna buy a satellite

1368
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: so we can watch the nuke from the satellite. This

1369
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: guy's name is Nath and he is incredible, chewing the scenery, chewing,

1370
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: going fucking crazy.

1371
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 3: Guess I'm gonna make Tom Cruise movie.

1372
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: Baby, I'm going nuts.

1373
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: In fifteen years when people are talking about this on

1374
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 2: the podcast, they're gonna talk about my seed.

1375
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: He's like Jordan Poole, like gonna put up every fucking

1376
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: shot that he's gonna fucking take half court shot. He's

1377
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna bank them off the glass whatever he can do.

1378
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: And here's what you don't need to know about Nath.

1379
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: He's a billionaire, he owns a media company, he has satellites,

1380
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: and he's so horny. He's so horny that it like

1381
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 1: derails his entire life and his glass and his whole plan.

1382
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: So that's how Jane gets close to him, and then

1383
01:07:57,800 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: she puts him in a headlock. It's the codes for him.

1384
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Ethan and team pinpoint Cobalt, but before they can get

1385
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: to him, he launches a nuke. Long story short, Benji

1386
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and Team get the equipment needed to transmit the nuke

1387
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: code to disable the nuke, up and running. Ethan gets

1388
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 1: the code and then everything is saved. Ethan has a big,

1389
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: big fight with Cobalt in a car Vana car fucking

1390
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: one of those car vending machines, and I have to say,

1391
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: I think Cobalt fights a little too well, like he's

1392
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: just a scientist nerd and he's like really hanging with Ethan.

1393
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: But then he jumps off the thing so that he'll

1394
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: die and can't be used to disarm the yuke. But

1395
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: of course Ethan punches in the code and everything is saved.

1396
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Their reputations are washed. Ethan and Drew introduces Luther to

1397
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: the new crew. We find out that Brand who was

1398
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: guilty about failing Julia and Ethan on their honeymoon and

1399
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: lead it which led to Julia's death. We learned that

1400
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: actually the death was totally faked, which branch is like

1401
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: weirdly relieved, and then Ethan gets a voicemail that this

1402
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: new terrorist organization is on the scene. This syndicate shay

1403
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: your thoughts about mission impossible for aka ghost protocol.

1404
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 5: This is the sixth place, one second to the last.

1405
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 5: For me, it feels I agree. It feels when you

1406
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 5: watch it like they started to put together the thing,

1407
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 5: like what you were saying about the all right, we

1408
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 5: got some big stunts now, like this is going to

1409
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 5: be the thing that we're doing, but they hadn't all

1410
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 5: the way figured out the railroad track to go from

1411
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 5: one moment to the other to keep it moving. It

1412
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 5: felt like like start and stop, start and stop starting

1413
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 5: now because the berke kleaf of thing is really great.

1414
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 5: The jail break thing is really great. Even in that

1415
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 5: last fight, which is like a whatever fight, he does

1416
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 5: that thing where he has to get to the bottom

1417
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 5: really fast, so he's like.

1418
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: He drives the car.

1419
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 5: I'm gonna drive a car down eighty feet just right

1420
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 5: in the concrete. Like that's a great, great, that's so

1421
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 5: fun moment in the in the in the series, this

1422
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 5: is not a bad movie. This is one like I

1423
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 5: will I will happily rewatch, but it's sixth place for me.

1424
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 3: You can just feel that.

1425
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's it's in between the old era

1426
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 2: and the new era, and you feel and you feel it.

1427
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: So I agree with that exactly, Rosie. So here's I

1428
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: was explaining to people when I put this on Instagram.

1429
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: That's my least favorite. First of all, if you're gonna

1430
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: watch four, why not just watch five and six. There's

1431
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: no connective tissue other than they mentioned the syndicate at

1432
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: the end of the movie.

1433
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 4: None of the Jeremy is there.

1434
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Jeremy Renner is there. But you don't need to know

1435
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: any of the stuff. You don't need to know that,

1436
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Julia Ruse, you don't need to know any of that

1437
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: stuff to just plug in with Brandt in the next movie.

1438
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: And and here's really the thing that just sticks into

1439
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: my craw the cop storyline. Sitter off this this Moscow

1440
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: cop that pursues Ethan across the world, thinking that he

1441
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: is like this master terrorist that brew up the Kleremlin

1442
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: in what is like a disastrous act of war, an

1443
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 1: American agent blowing up the Kremlin. Right, he pursues Ethan,

1444
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: gets all the way to the end, meets him at

1445
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: the bottom of the car van a vending machine, where

1446
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Ethan's fucked up because he drove the car down there

1447
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: and he's like concussed and it is real. Ethan then

1448
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: reveals to him, Hey, we're actually he says to He says, like,

1449
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: we've been on the side, same side. I've been leading

1450
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: you all the way so you could see all this stuff.

1451
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: And Sitarov says, were you are not enemies and Ethan's like, no, no,

1452
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: we're not enemies. We're totally on the same side now,

1453
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: and then they just make up.

1454
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 4: Now this is a.

1455
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Kin to if a New York cop tracked bin Laden

1456
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: to Tora Bora in the in the in the weeks

1457
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven, and then bin Laden was like, nah,

1458
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I like actually led you here, and like it's all

1459
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: like I didn't actually do that. I'm innocent. This is

1460
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing and you should just go back. And

1461
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: then all we know about the story is the cop

1462
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: comes back from Tora Bora and says, yeah, the main

1463
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: suspect in the destruction of Hemlin whatever. I let him go.

1464
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 1: I talked to him. He seems like a legit. He

1465
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: seems like a cool guy, and we talked about it

1466
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: and like, and he's innocent. You just take my word

1467
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: for it. I know I pursued him like across the

1468
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: fucking globe, but like I'm coming.

1469
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 3: To department like hundreds of thousands of dollars.

1470
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now I'm coming back empty handed. I know

1471
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: there's like thousands of dead at the Kremlin, but like, uh,

1472
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: don't it wasn't him. It wasn't him. That's this This

1473
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: film series is full of ludicrous things that to me

1474
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: is one of the craziest things that could ever fuck

1475
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: that this cop would just be like, yeah, you're right,

1476
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take you back.

1477
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 2: Also, it's like they are that half the time that

1478
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 2: meant to be like serious antagonists and half the time

1479
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 2: that comedy relief is like you could just cut them out.

1480
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 3: We didn't need the gun.

1481
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: You could have cut the whole cop thing out. We

1482
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: didn't need it anyway. Rogue Nation twenty fifteen up there

1483
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: for me one of my I think there were times

1484
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: when and it's my it's yes, maybe my favorite of

1485
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: the New Year. Right, we are in the Cyndy game

1486
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: herea yeah, the game changer. So we're in Minsk. Ethan

1487
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: sees at a palette of nerve gas, and here is that.

1488
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Here is the stunt that sold the movie, which is

1489
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a sea one

1490
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: thirty aircraft last five minutes. It's really hanging off. He

1491
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: gets the nerve gas off the plane. But the syndicate

1492
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: respond right away. The syndicate was going to buy this

1493
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: nerve cast. They respond right away. They take Ethan captive

1494
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: in a record store, forcing him to watch them murder

1495
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: this IMF agent who Ethan had developed a crush on

1496
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: within thirty so I just I was in love with her.

1497
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: You could just tell. In dc CI, director Hunley new

1498
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: character proposes that we got to get rid of the IMF.

1499
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: They fucking everything up and it's crazy and we can't

1500
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: have this anymore. Ethan, meanwhile, is being tortured by the

1501
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Bone Doctor.

1502
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 2: Believable and unbelievable, and they play it completely straight, no puns,

1503
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: like it's just like the bone.

1504
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: But here's here's the thing about Ethan and the Bone Doctor.

1505
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 1: He's putting on a brave face. He's putting on a

1506
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: brave face because he's in the midst of developing a

1507
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: completely other crush on Hillsman.

1508
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 3: Klaus who is sitting in on the.

1509
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Torture her introduction to the series. She breaks him out.

1510
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Ethan then realizes that the Syndicate is made up of

1511
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: ex secret operatives from around the globe, all of whom

1512
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: are presumed dead. But now he's got to go on

1513
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: the run with director Hunley Bowny catch him. Six months past,

1514
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: Benji is lying on his his polygraph tests all the time,

1515
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: and meanwhile he's been working with Ethan to to uncover

1516
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: the syndicate. And Ethan sends him opera tickets in Austria.

1517
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: He's in DC, so he gets on a plane to Austria.

1518
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 3: To go to the opera cash not even a thing.

1519
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 3: He won them.

1520
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: He won them in a contest a radio, just like yeah,

1521
01:14:55,040 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: like like w PLJ, like answer who is the lead

1522
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: singer of led Zeppelin? And you get the opera in Austria, dude.

1523
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things about this movie is like

1524
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,520
Speaker 2: it's so fucking good that there's so many like suspension

1525
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 2: of disbelief things that shouldn't work. But one of my

1526
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 2: favorite things is like nobody will believe Ethan that there

1527
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 2: is a secret organization of undercover agents working, even though

1528
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 2: that's what Ethan does, so they wouldn't even consider it.

1529
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: It does sound crazything.

1530
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 3: Is proof that this is like Benji says, it's the

1531
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 3: anti IMF, and I love the fact that everyone in

1532
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 3: the government's like, nah, that could never exists. I bro

1533
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 3: it sounds really legitimate, like it could happen.

1534
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:42,839
Speaker 1: So at the opera they Ethan and Benji almost foil

1535
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: the assassination of the Austrian Chancellor, but his car blows

1536
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: up and Ilsa also escapes with Ethan and Benji's help.

1537
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: Ethan then thinks he's slick when they got it. So

1538
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: Benji's driving the car they're escaping from the opera house,

1539
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and Ethan is like, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta

1540
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: patch you down. You don't. She's a spy one hundred

1541
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: You just saw her with a sniper rival one hundred percent.

1542
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: She's got weapons. Let's just call it that. Like, but

1543
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Ethan's like, I gotta patch you down. That's how it goes.

1544
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: That's just why dude man Hunley goes on the war

1545
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: path and says kill Ethan and Benji on site. Uh

1546
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 1: Ilsa also in trouble because she's you know, in hot

1547
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: water with Lane at the syndicate. He's wondering if he

1548
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,839
Speaker 1: can trust her. That leads us to Morocco, where Ilsa

1549
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: tells the boys that Yep, the syndicate is real. It

1550
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: was created by Solomon Lane former m I six, and

1551
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 1: we are all here to break into an underwater skiff

1552
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: containing the names of all the syndicate agents that one

1553
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: of my colleagues stole before he died. Uh But and

1554
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 1: so they get the disc, but then they lose it

1555
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: because Elsa just fucking leaves. But it's fine, because it's

1556
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: fine because Benji made a copy. But w w you

1557
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: need the Prime Minister's like biometrics in order to open

1558
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: his voice, his eyeballs, all that shit. Ethan. The boys

1559
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: then figure out that Lane needs this information, he must

1560
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: need the Prime Minister too, so he's gonna seize the

1561
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,879
Speaker 1: Prime Minister. Ilsa brings the disc to Lane because imf

1562
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: told her like, yes, you stole the disc, but like

1563
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: you're too good at your job, you need to go back.

1564
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: But her boss also secretly erased the discs and el

1565
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: Lane is super super super pissed at Ilsa. Ethan impersonates

1566
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: the director of m I six to steal the Prime

1567
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: minister's biometrics in the past phrase. This is one of

1568
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: the greatest mask gags in the whole series. Once again,

1569
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: just a great.

1570
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 2: Maskg so good and they have this is also a

1571
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 2: truth serum gag, which I feel like we don't be

1572
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 2: getting off of, which I love, Like they have the

1573
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 2: truth serum and it's just like so it's really easy

1574
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 2: for them to find out exactly what they need. Also,

1575
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 2: I will say Ilsa introduces a very fun Noah thing

1576
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 2: that we haven't really sin since the first movie, so

1577
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 2: I guess reintroduces, which is like she's a real femfatau.

1578
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: You don't know which side she's on as you're watching

1579
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,560
Speaker 2: the movie. They do a really good job of showcasing

1580
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: her playing both sides, but they don't judge her for

1581
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 2: it is very good. Cat Rebecca Ferguson smashes it.

1582
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: She's in credit. We then find out after Luthor decrypts

1583
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 1: the file that it's not a list of agents and

1584
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: a couple billion pounds in cash and various bank accounts.

1585
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: Ethan gets the director of m I six to admit

1586
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: that he created the syndicate but then lost control of it,

1587
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: which Lane sees control of it from him, and he's

1588
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: been trying to frame Mills of Faust for it. Lane

1589
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 1: has a bomb strapped to Benji, so Ethan will have

1590
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: no choice but to hand over the disc. But Ethan says,

1591
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: guess what, here's the crazy new talent that we're introducing

1592
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: now for this movie.

1593
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am.

1594
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:35,759
Speaker 1: I have memorized in like five minutes. I have memorized hundreds,

1595
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: if not thousands, of BANDA coundreds of thousands of my

1596
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 1: bank counter. There's two billion pounds in here of bank

1597
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: account numbers. And now I am the disc. You can't

1598
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: kill me. Let Benji go and you can take me. YadA, YadA, YadA.

1599
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 1: Ethan always stands by his friends, and next thing you know,

1600
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Laane is in a box. Hundley goes back to DC

1601
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: to spend the whole thing as an elaborate IMF plan

1602
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: from the start, and he is now the new director

1603
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: of the IMF. Fantastic Shae. Your thoughts on Mission Impossible

1604
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: Rogue Nation?

1605
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 4: Man? Listen.

1606
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 5: So if we look at this series each movie objectively,

1607
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 5: I know that Rogue Nation is not the best one.

1608
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 5: It goes one, six, five, that's the top three one

1609
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 5: the original then Fallout in Rogue Nation. But when I

1610
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 5: rewatch Rogue Nation, this is the best one.

1611
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 4: That's what I feel like in my in my chest.

1612
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 5: If we if we run through just the pieces you

1613
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 5: have that you mentioned, we have the cold open with

1614
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 5: the plane where he hangs onto the outside of the

1615
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 5: plane where he has to wear special giant contacts in

1616
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 5: his eyeballs because it's going so fast. We get the

1617
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 5: introduction of the Syndicate, which which saves the series in

1618
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 5: a way because nobody, nobody was ever gonna be as

1619
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 5: good a bad guy as Philip Seymore Hoffman from then forward.

1620
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 5: You had to do it by committee. You need a

1621
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 5: thousand bad guys. You need a collect Yeah, you need

1622
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 5: Phillip Seymour Hoffmins.

1623
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 4: So you get that.

1624
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:57,879
Speaker 5: We get the introducer of Alec Baldwin's character, who's basically

1625
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 5: just doing his character from The Departed, which fuck yeah

1626
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 5: he really is. We get the introduction of Ilsa Faust,

1627
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 5: the single best non Ethan Hunt character in the franchise.

1628
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 5: Nobody has ever been has ever been better. We get

1629
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 5: the underwater scene where Ethan Hunt dies and then she

1630
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 5: saves him out of Now that is the first time

1631
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 5: that the franchise was able to recreate the magic of

1632
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 5: the Langley heist where it's just like we're going small

1633
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 5: and quiet again. They figured out how to do it

1634
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 5: when I remember watching that in the theater and just

1635
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 5: being like like almost hyper ventilating watching him run out

1636
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 5: of energy, and then you see him floating dead and

1637
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 5: they let him go around and you're like, fuck, there's

1638
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 5: no way out of this, and then out of nowhere,

1639
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 5: il Safaus the music comes in. She doesn't have a

1640
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 5: mask on or anything. She just grabs him and saves them,

1641
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 5: and you're like, fuck yes. So we get that part.

1642
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 5: We get the motorcycle chase where where he's chasing after Ilsa,

1643
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 5: which is wonderful, and she does that awesome trick where

1644
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 5: she just is like fuck it, I'll stand in the

1645
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 5: middle of the road.

1646
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,839
Speaker 4: He's not gonna kill him, which is wonderful.

1647
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 5: You get the mask reveal, where we have probably what

1648
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 5: is the definitive Ethan Hunt, like a cool thing someone

1649
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 5: says about Ethan Hunt. When you have when you have

1650
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 5: him doing the whole the manifestation of Destiny' speech, and

1651
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 5: then you have and then you have the glass the

1652
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 5: glass Box callback at the end of the movie, because

1653
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 5: that's how Solomon Lane traps Ethan Hunt. In the beginning,

1654
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 5: they just really yeah, it's so, it's so fucking good.

1655
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 3: It's so good.

1656
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 2: I love the Glass Box too, because it does one

1657
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 2: of my favorite things about this movie, which is like

1658
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 2: that these movies do, which we gather beginning of all

1659
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 2: that two, where it's like, in the moment when Solomon

1660
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 2: is trapped in that box, it seems like it's this

1661
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 2: unbelievably terrifying, scary where is he? He's in the box,

1662
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 2: like this is the end of his life. And then

1663
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 2: the lights come up when he's passed out and they're

1664
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 2: just in like a car party, because that's just where

1665
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 2: they could put it together. Like I love that kind

1666
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 2: of on They make you believe that they're doing this

1667
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 2: stuff on the fly, even when it's the craziest, most

1668
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: intricate plan and you feel like you're a part of

1669
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: it because you get to see the spycraft, you get

1670
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 2: to see the planning, and you get to spend time

1671
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 2: with the crew ving raims in every movie. I love

1672
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 2: this for him so happy he's still there. Every time

1673
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 2: I'm like, where is he?

1674
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 1: My secret favorite part of this movie is so after

1675
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: they introduce the sketch artist talent that Ethan has in

1676
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Ghost Protocol, and they do it again here where he

1677
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: draws Lane end ilse Faust and Luther figures out Ethan

1678
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: is really to ilse Faust because he's like, look at

1679
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: these two drawings. Lane is like a stick figure drawing,

1680
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:30,759
Speaker 1: and then he's like a rating. Yeah, there's like shading,

1681
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: you know what.

1682
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 2: You actually call out a good point. This is really

1683
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 2: where they start to build the crew as like a

1684
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 2: found family to you get where you get those little

1685
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: moments of like it's already already been there with Luthor,

1686
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 2: but this is really the one where it's like what

1687
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 2: do you care about the most?

1688
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 3: Who are these people? How well do they know each other?

1689
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 2: And then that obviously makes Fallout and Dead Reckoning hit

1690
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 2: so much harder.

1691
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 5: When I was rewatching this one, this is probably the

1692
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 5: one that I revisit the most all of them. It's

1693
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 5: just like a fun, fun one to throw on. The

1694
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 5: part at the end when they trap Lane in the box,

1695
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 5: this always stands out to me. They like go in

1696
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,600
Speaker 5: research to figure this out. This is bulletproof glass or

1697
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 5: bullet resistant glass that they trap him inside of. Right,

1698
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 5: So I'm going on the Internet reading all about it.

1699
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 5: At minimum, it's like twenty twenty five millimeters stick, right,

1700
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 5: and a twenty five millimeters stick. That means per cubic meter,

1701
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 5: per square meters, it's like one hundred and nineteen pounds.

1702
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 5: The box itself that they put him in is like

1703
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 5: six feet by seven feet on each side of the wall,

1704
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 5: which means this is like nineteen square meters total, which

1705
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 5: means this this glass box weighs over twenty one hundred

1706
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 5: and sixty pounds at minimum. At minimum it's two one

1707
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 5: hundred and sixty pounds. And at the end of it,

1708
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 5: Ethan Hunt just puts two hands on the side of

1709
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 5: it and pushes it over like an empty refrigerator.

1710
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 4: Box, like it's nothing for him.

1711
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 5: The same weighs as much as a Ford focus and

1712
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 5: he's just like boom, like nothing everything, like goddamn.

1713
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 4: I love this movie. I love this Yeah.

1714
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: That brings us to Mission Impossible Fallout. The Syndicate has

1715
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: gone freelance since the capture of Lane. They are hired

1716
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: by a terrorist named John Lark who just wants to

1717
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: blow up more nukes. It loves that Ethan fails at

1718
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: a mission to seize plutonium that is going to go

1719
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: to Lark, but they do manage to trick a nuclear

1720
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: scientist working for larkt into unlocking his phone so they

1721
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: can they can get a location on the terrorist, just

1722
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,560
Speaker 1: like coming in So Hot with one of the great

1723
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: like ruses in this series, with the mask gag only

1724
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: playing like a minor part with Benjy being like, woof, flizzer,

1725
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: it's so fucking good, and they.

1726
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 3: Got they got me again with this one.

1727
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 2: Feel hot right, You're like, oh my god, I can't

1728
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 2: it happened to be this time.

1729
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 3: At the beginning, I was like, oh, I can't believe

1730
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 3: that they didn't save it, and then the attacks happened,

1731
01:24:58,479 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 3: and then I was like, oh no, it's this paw,

1732
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 3: this is so It's so much fun.

1733
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 1: New CI director Sloan forces the IMF to take her age.

1734
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: In August, Walker on the mission of Paris to intercept Lark,

1735
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: who is meeting with his contact, the White Widow. Ethan

1736
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 1: and Walker accidentally killed the guy they think is Lark,

1737
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: with an assist by Ilsephast, who actually fucking shoots some surprise, surprise,

1738
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: what she doing here. Ethan then goes to Pritend to

1739
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 1: be Lark to meet the white widow, and she's kind

1740
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: of into him of course.

1741
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 3: Also, the white widow is Max's Dora. I only realized

1742
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 3: that this time.

1743
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, throw back to the Fast movie,

1744
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,719
Speaker 2: Like I love this, very weird choice.

1745
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: But Shaw, the white widow then tells Ethan that he

1746
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: can who she thinks is Lark, that he can have

1747
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: the plutonium, but you have to help us break Lane

1748
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,679
Speaker 1: out of prison. Also won't tell Ethan why she's there,

1749
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: and she reminds him that I said let's run away

1750
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: together and you said no. So this is you just

1751
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: have to deal with this. Walker then tells director Sloane

1752
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: that Ethan and the White Widow are gonna break out Lark.

1753
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think that Ethan is secretly

1754
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: Lark and he's now leading the remains of the syndicate.

1755
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: You should look into this, and Sloan is like, I

1756
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: think you're onto something. Ethan participates in the convoy attack,

1757
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: but he, as Rosy noted, is Batman doesn't like killing

1758
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: innocent people, and so he figures out a way to

1759
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: do it that doesn't kill any cops. Uh, And then

1760
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,719
Speaker 1: he leads the police on probably the best motorcycle chase

1761
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: in the series, like through the Streets of Paris.

1762
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 3: Oh, so he also does fall in love with a

1763
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 3: brunette cop.

1764
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: He speaks for her and he's falling as he falls

1765
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: in love with her, absolutely falls in love with her.

1766
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: And then here we go. I think this could be

1767
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: the best gag mask gag in the whole thing. Ethan

1768
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: and friends then use an incredible switcheroo. Here's Lane and

1769
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 1: now here he's gone. It's very, very slick to get

1770
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: Walker to admit that he is Lark and he's working

1771
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 1: with Lane. But apparently the CIA is so rotten with

1772
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: Cindy get people that they all when they're called in

1773
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,679
Speaker 1: to take fucking Walker away. They then help him escape.

1774
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: Ilsa joins the team. They head to a glacier where

1775
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: Lane is planning to blow up nukes in order to

1776
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: destroy the water supply of one third of the world. Also,

1777
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Julia Even's ex and her current husband works there with

1778
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 1: doctors without borders because they were like cool them maybe yeah,

1779
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: the syndicate to fuck with him like it's very bleak.

1780
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: The team and Julia then managed to diffuse the bombs

1781
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: while Ethan fights Walker on yet another vertical action seen

1782
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: on a helicopter and then the side of a cliff

1783
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Ethan kills Walker slash Lark Lane goes back to jail.

1784
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: That leads us to the next movie. Shay your thoughts

1785
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 1: on Mission Impossible Fallout.

1786
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 5: Some masterpiece, I agree, no question, Beginning to end action pieces,

1787
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 5: the plot itself, the dialogue, the way that it's shot,

1788
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 5: every single thing about this is just as good as

1789
01:27:58,479 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 5: it can possibly be.

1790
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 4: Henry Carvel is incredible in this room.

1791
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 2: Villainous rolls like he's always a dick. He's so much

1792
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 2: at the beginning.

1793
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 5: They have like a thousand one liners in there that

1794
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 5: are just really fun.

1795
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 1: And there's so many good ones.

1796
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 2: Obviously, the famous moment where he coxes muscles before he

1797
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 2: starts punching, you know, fight like so good.

1798
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 5: The part of him getting tricked by the Solomon Lane

1799
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 5: mask is just really, really great because they set it

1800
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 5: up early in the movie when they introduced in the

1801
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 5: first time and he's like, people really fall for this,

1802
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 5: and you're like, they're gonna get you. Then show still surprised.

1803
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 3: When he realizes he's like it's just a bunch of

1804
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 3: people wearing and he's like.

1805
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 5: Oh ship they and then they get the uh the

1806
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 5: then they have that great moment when Ethan is riding

1807
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 5: around with Solomon Lane in the car and Ilsa shoots

1808
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 5: at him and then he sees and then Solomon with

1809
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 5: that like his voice is just like this acidic spray

1810
01:28:58,280 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 5: that comes out and you just.

1811
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 4: Go interesting, interesting, does them shut up?

1812
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 5: And then they just go like, So you have Superman

1813
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 5: versus Ethan Hunt in a helicopter fight, half of his

1814
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 5: face burned off in acid two face.

1815
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 4: It's so it's so great.

1816
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: I believe that Alec Baldwin was like, hey, let me

1817
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: fuck up Superman a little bit, and they gave him

1818
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: that very very short sequence in after the mask gag

1819
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 1: where Honley like goes toe to toe with Walker for

1820
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: like a period.

1821
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 2: Before he's like, if I'm gonna get killed off, you

1822
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 2: gotta let me do. This movie is very important to me,

1823
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 2: not because it is obviously, like she said, a masterpiece,

1824
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 2: but also because it is adds to my favorite subjcannon,

1825
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 2: which is bathroom fights.

1826
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Like this is one of the the best, probably probably

1827
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: the most brutal fight in the entire series. Guys goes

1828
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: walls when Walker flips not Lark through the wind through

1829
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 1: the fucking mirrors.

1830
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so good, like.

1831
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 2: This Eastern Promises street Fighter, the Legend of Chenley. It

1832
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 2: has a legendary bathroom fight as bad as the movie is, Like,

1833
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 2: you know, there's just so many karate kid like bathroom

1834
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 2: fights are such a weird specific thing, but this one is,

1835
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this one is just so grotesque with it

1836
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 2: and like brutal and bloody, and you get that great

1837
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 2: moment with also when the guys come in afterwards and

1838
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,719
Speaker 2: she pretends that that Larcke has.

1839
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:31,520
Speaker 3: But it's like the hugest bloody.

1840
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 2: But I mean, this movie is this is the one

1841
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 2: I think where they they work. I love Regnation. I

1842
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 2: feel like that's a really great spy thriller. This is

1843
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 2: the one where I think you can really say like fun,

1844
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 2: Like they knew these movies could be fun, and they

1845
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 2: were gonna make.

1846
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:45,839
Speaker 3: This one as fun as possible.

1847
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 4: This is this is the one.

1848
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 5: If you're ever going to argue that one of them

1849
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 5: is better than the first one, it has to be

1850
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 5: this one.

1851
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1852
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 3: I think for most people this is the top of

1853
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 3: the ranking.

1854
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah.

1855
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 5: It also has in there what I would argue is

1856
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 5: the single greatest line across the franchise's history. And it's

1857
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 5: Angela Bassett when she's talking with with with Alec Baldwin

1858
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 5: and she tells him you use a scalpel.

1859
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 4: I prefer a hammer.

1860
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 5: And she's like talking about two humans that She's like,

1861
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 5: this is just instruments. I used to bludgeon people to death.

1862
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 4: I prefer a hammer. So fucking cold.

1863
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Up next, Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning Part one stepping out

1864
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,280

1868
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:52,600
Speaker 4: I loved it.

1869
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,520
Speaker 5: It was absolutely worth it. It was absolutely worth rewatching

1870
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,719
Speaker 5: all of the movies again. It was like it felt

1871
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 5: for the first time in a long time like a

1872
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:04,639
Speaker 5: movie event is what it felt like like. I found

1873
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 5: myself as we were getting ready to leave that we

1874
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,840

01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 5: so Big, But the week before that we went and

1879
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 5: saw Mission Impossible. When it came out on that Thursday,

1880
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 5: we got like early tickets. We were already and I

1881
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 5: caught myself preparing everybody because I wanted them all to

1882
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,280
Speaker 5: like understand the lore, understand all the pieces of my

1883
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 5: son's especially and I'm like, hey, when he jumps off

1884
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 5: that there's gonna be a part. When he jumps a

1885
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 5: motorcycle off a cliff. He did that for real. That's

1886
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 5: real life, Like I need you to understand, that's forerial.

1887
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 5: Like I'm explaining that stuff. We're sitting there watching it.

1888
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 5: This is one of the few times when I look

1889
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 5: down because I always sit on the far left. It's

1890
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 5: me Laramie, the baby who's ten about to be eleven,

1891
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 5: and then Twins were sixteen and all the other movies

1892
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 5: when I look down there on their phones or like

1893
01:32:57,479 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, and I look down on

1894
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 5: this one and they're not on their phone, and I

1895
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 5: was like, fuck ye there. And we get to the

1896
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 5: cliff jump and he fucking jumps. They show you like

1897
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 5: twenty five different angles, like this is really about to happen,

1898
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 5: and then he like he did it, and then he

1899
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 5: goes off and it just goes quiet.

1900
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 2: Just quiet, silent, dude, just like absolutely silent.

1901
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 5: You felt everybody go and like holding your breath watching

1902
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,600
Speaker 5: to see, like, you know, he's not gonna die, but

1903
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 5: this is a guy doing this room completely completely quiet,

1904
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 5: completely quiet, and then out of nowhere it just comes

1905
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 5: back in.

1906
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 4: You hear the wind, you feel it's, oh my god,

1907
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 4: I fucking love this movie. And then that's not even

1908
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 4: the best part of it.

1909
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 5: The best part of it is the train falling piece

1910
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,600
Speaker 5: by piece, fucking forget.

1911
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 1: They So the train is my favorite part because they

1912
01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, ever since the first movie, vertical action scenes

1913
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,640
Speaker 1: have been a big thing. We mentioned the carve on

1914
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:58,439
Speaker 1: a vending machine. Uh, you know, various other mission impossible too,

1915
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,799
Speaker 1: like helicopter drop, the helicopter jumping thing, And here they've

1916
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 1: figured out a way to do it again in a

1917
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 1: manner that we've never I've never seen this, Like it

1918
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: was kind of stuff from like Inception where the you know,

1919
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 1: but it.

1920
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 2: Was it was done for like real as well, like

1921
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 2: you feel like they did gravity moments.

1922
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was clearly in like the I just built

1923
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,760
Speaker 1: a fucking train car and just hung it on its

1924
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: side and it was just really really really cool And

1925
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 1: I was sitting there going, fuck, I don't think I've

1926
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 1: ever seen anything like this before.

1927
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 2: I feel like Christopher macquarie really loves Jurassic Park the

1928
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 2: Lost World, like the second Jurassic Park movie, because there's

1929
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:45,719
Speaker 2: the really famous trailer sequence where Julia Moore gets knocked

1930
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 2: off the cliff in the trailer by the mom t

1931
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 2: Rex And this is like, what if you did that

1932
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:54,759
Speaker 2: in camera ten times?

1933
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 3: Because you just get that one.

1934
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: It just kept going it was right now.

1935
01:34:57,920 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 2: But this one, it's like every time the trains for like,

1936
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 2: and I have to shout out as well, like I

1937
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 2: think something that this movie does that's so brilliant. I

1938
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 2: love the Hailey Atwell character in this. I love like

1939
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: the shifty English pickpocket who kind of tests him. And

1940
01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 2: by the time that you get to the train sequence

1941
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 2: with the two of them, their chemistry and the way

1942
01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 2: that they kind of intuitively understand what the other person

1943
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 2: is gonna do makes this action sequence so believable even

1944
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 2: though it's so.

1945
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 3: Ridiculous, Like it's so good.

1946
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 2: And also I will say this is like edge of

1947
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 2: your seat cinema, Like I was so worried about the

1948
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 2: fate of these characters, even though I know they're gonna

1949
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 2: continue on, you know, but it has you feel in

1950
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 2: that visceral feeling of like, oh shit, can they do it?

1951
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 2: Can they land it? Are they gonna survive?

1952
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 3: The train?

1953
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 1: Like it?

1954
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 3: It's so good? And is it?

1955
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:54,599
Speaker 2: That's a two hour, forty minute movie that shit zetted

1956
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 2: past in the theater like I never checked my watch.

1957
01:35:57,439 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 2: It was not like when I saw Indiana Jones where

1958
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 2: I could really feel the time. It was like when

1959
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 2: it got to that ending and I knew it was

1960
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 2: going to be the part too, I was bummed, like

1961
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 2: I didn't want it to end. I wanted to know

1962
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:07,679
Speaker 2: what was going to happen next.

1963
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 5: The train thing I think is if you're trying to

1964
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 5: show somebody what makes the mission impossible, franchise special pull,

1965
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 5: you pull that up and you show them that, and

1966
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 5: all you can and all you have to tell them

1967
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 5: is that this train is about to go over a

1968
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 5: bridge that's going to explode, because we've seen that exact

1969
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 5: thing in a hundred different action movies. Yeah, And what

1970
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 5: happens is the bridge explodes, the train goes over, the

1971
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 5: people make the jump at the very last second, and

1972
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 5: it's and it's over and it's done. And they do

1973
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,680
Speaker 5: it this way where they just stretch it out for

1974
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,639
Speaker 5: several minutes and you're like, h like, I can't believe

1975
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 5: nobody had thought to do a version of this the

1976
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,160
Speaker 5: way that they do it, and every single car presents

1977
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 5: different obstacles. They're in the kitchen car and everything.

1978
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 3: Is That's what I was going to say.

1979
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 2: I was like, why did they pick the Orient Express

1980
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 2: That seems like very specific, Like is this an Agatha

1981
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 2: Christie riff? No, it's so you can have a kitchen car.

1982
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,040
Speaker 2: It's so you can have a dining car, so you

1983
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 2: can have expensive china falling towards them when they're running

1984
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 2: through and they.

1985
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:07,719
Speaker 3: Have to avoid the hot oil. That's by the way.

1986
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 2: This is the last fifteen minutes of an incredibly exciting movie.

1987
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 2: And this is the part we're talking about, because when

1988
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,959
Speaker 2: you leave, you're still thinking about that train sequence.

1989
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:16,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1990
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,720
Speaker 5: And the when when they are separate of that, when

1991
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:23,480
Speaker 5: they are we haven't even talked about is Sigh Morales,

1992
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 5: who is.

1993
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 4: Like, oh my god, so just a great evil face.

1994
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,799
Speaker 5: But when he has the when he has the showdown

1995
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,799
Speaker 5: on the bridge with with Haley I Well and Rebecca

1996
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 5: Ferguson and and Ferguson shows up and he says, I

1997
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 5: was hoping it was going to be you or something. Yeah,

1998
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 5: I remember when that part happens again. It also was

1999
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 5: my favorite non ethn Hunt character in the movie. She's

2000
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 5: so great all the way through. I was like, they

2001
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 5: better fuck it. She better not die right now. She

2002
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 5: better fuck it. I was watching that like I was

2003
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,680
Speaker 5: watching a playoff game, and I was like, don't you, like,

2004
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 5: don't you fucking do it? I couldn't. I couldn't believe

2005
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 5: watching that. You get to the end of this movie,

2006
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 5: she's gone. Haley is there now, and I just remember

2007
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 5: watching it and being like, what the fuck was doctor

2008
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 5: Strange thinking killing her off? And like like she they

2009
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 5: killed her?

2010
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:10,679
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing?

2011
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 2: She's incredible, dude, She's so good and she can do

2012
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 2: the action. I loved her costuming, which was like this

2013
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 2: super like seventies weird costuming. She always seems yeah and

2014
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 2: like the big blouses she's like doing. And the action

2015
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 2: in this movie, like that bridge scene where else is

2016
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 2: essentially like fencing with a Samarles but he only has

2017
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 2: a short knife. That's like such an inventive, weird way

2018
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 2: to do reach.

2019
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 1: I was like, where'des sword come from? It?

2020
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 3: And you don't question it, You're like, she carries that

2021
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 3: thing around. I believe it.

2022
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:45,639
Speaker 2: But also, you know what I thought was really good

2023
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 2: about this movie that I didn't think would necessarily work.

2024
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 3: The main plot line is like you know about AI.

2025
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 3: I actually thought the way they did it was like

2026
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,719
Speaker 3: really cool. I loved the moment where they went into

2027
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 3: the party and the party just was AI, Like the

2028
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 3: entity was the party. And I kind of like the.

2029
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 2: Idea that, you know, the the Gabriel that the Morales

2030
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 2: character is like, I really like the idea that he's

2031
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 2: almost like a fanatic about the possibilities of what that

2032
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,759
Speaker 2: could entail. I just that could come across as super

2033
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 2: corny and date it even though it was only made

2034
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 2: like two years ago. But I thought they did it

2035
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,599
Speaker 2: in a way that was fun enough that it felt

2036
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 2: like quite relevant and scary. And there's a lot of

2037
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 2: good betrayals in this movie too.

2038
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:24,880
Speaker 3: That was another thing.

2039
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 5: I like, what's the what's the woman's name who plays

2040
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 5: Paris tom Clement? Tom Clement, Yeah, incredible.

2041
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:32,639
Speaker 3: So sick.

2042
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: She did so much. That's what I wanted to talk about,

2043
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 1: because she did. She has barely any lines in this movie,

2044
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 1: although she's in it for quite a bit, but she

2045
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: transmits like so much about her character, and like the

2046
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:48,799
Speaker 1: excited the way she drives the truck, and the looks

2047
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: on her face when she's fighting Tom Cruise, and she's

2048
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: fucking fantastic in this movie and and one of the

2049
01:39:57,280 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 1: great I now have developed a crush on Ethan Hunt

2050
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: twist in the whole series, even a Hunt doesn't kill

2051
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 1: her after the fight and all of a sudden, she's like,

2052
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:12,600
Speaker 1: you know what seems.

2053
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 3: Clash on this.

2054
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: Guy, I'm gonna help him. At the very end of

2055
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 1: the movie.

2056
01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:23,799
Speaker 2: It's like so rare to see a relentless henchy character

2057
01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 2: who is a woman, and she's like fucking running down

2058
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 2: a train like it does not stop her. Like she's

2059
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 2: driving that crazy van in like a tiny kilt with

2060
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 2: like doctor Martin Boots.

2061
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 3: I love this character.

2062
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 2: I think one of the things this movie does that

2063
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 2: I think is really exciting and works really well. It

2064
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 2: essentially sets up like a new crew or additions to

2065
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 2: the crew.

2066
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 3: I think in part two the crew.

2067
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 2: Is going to be expanded, and I think we can

2068
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 2: definitely expect to see Palm. I love the choices that

2069
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 2: she or the makeup artist or whoever together collaboratively made.

2070
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 2: There's so many shots just of her face. She's got

2071
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 2: slightly the slightly kind of like blurry like almost like

2072
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 2: the crow like I make up with the kind of

2073
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,639
Speaker 2: greasy hat it could have been. It feels like one

2074
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,799
Speaker 2: of those great roles kind of like Ripley and Alien

2075
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 2: where it's like it feels like they didn't necessarily gender

2076
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 2: cost that character.

2077
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, just killed them before me again. That that scene

2078
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: where she is chasing them. They're in the mini and

2079
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: she's chasing them in like this armored car and they

2080
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 1: keep cutting to her like being excited about the chase

2081
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:29,680
Speaker 1: and being and it's like.

2082
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 3: And just like unnecessarily smashing through like.

2083
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 1: And like laughing about it. It is so compelling. She's

2084
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: so good and she may just makes the most.

2085
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 2: Definitely the haloquin of the of the Mission Impossible Batman law.

2086
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 5: One of the one of the things that I really

2087
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 5: enjoy about what they do with these characters. And you

2088
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,640
Speaker 5: saw it, especially with Ilso when she showed up and

2089
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,679
Speaker 5: that it's in that first fight in Rogue Nation when

2090
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 5: she's helping Ethan hunt escape and she's doing like a

2091
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 5: bunch of like aerial jiu jitsu just like yeah, like

2092
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 5: getting legs around heads and flipping like using using the

2093
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,160
Speaker 5: momentum of gravity, uh to fight. And they do the

2094
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 5: same thing with Paris here when she's fighting with Tom Cruise.

2095
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 5: Like the one time she really has them is when

2096
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 5: she's up in there and she's got her legs and

2097
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,759
Speaker 5: she's pinned them against the Yeah, it's such a smart

2098
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 5: move to do with a person who's like has a

2099
01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 5: slender body frame because it's still scary and like, oh

2100
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 5: fuck if they get when she's fighting east Side Morales,

2101
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 5: you're like, just get your just get your legs around

2102
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 5: his neck and as a fucking rap, like just get

2103
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,639
Speaker 5: a like you're just praying for it to happen. It's

2104
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 5: it's such a such a fun thing to watch.

2105
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 1: Thoughts on the return of Kittridge back again after after

2106
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: a twenty year absence from the series.

2107
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 3: So is he is he the Bayer? Like was he

2108
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 3: trying to buy it?

2109
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 2: And does Haley Atwell's character know And she's just acting

2110
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 2: to save her own skin by being like Ethan told

2111
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 2: me I could trust you because she didn't mention to

2112
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 2: Ethan that he was the one trying to buy the entity.

2113
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 2: So like I'm interested, Like, is the antagonist is the

2114
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 2: ally like, I think that's gonna play big into the

2115
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 2: next movie.

2116
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: I agree, And I will say a notable lack of

2117
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: betrayals in this part one of Dead Reckoning. So you

2118
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 1: do wonder like who is going to double cross Ethan

2119
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:27,840
Speaker 1: because it has to be coming yeah more.

2120
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,839
Speaker 2: It's actually more like the betrayals are other people betraying

2121
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 2: people to be on Ethan's side, yeah, which is kind

2122
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 2: of an inversion of what we've come to expect, where

2123
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 2: everyone's always betraying Ethan.

2124
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 1: Let us now do our rankings, our final rankings. Say

2125
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 1: you've done your so, Rosie, your rankings of Mission Impossible movies?

2126
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 2: One, okay, six, seven, five, two, four, you missed three, three?

2127
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,839
Speaker 3: Oh you know what? That's it's always narratively. I counted

2128
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 3: them too.

2129
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:03,879
Speaker 1: That's from top to bottom, right from from yes.

2130
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 3: Ye yes, so one is the best for me.

2131
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 2: Six is next, then five, then three, No, seven is

2132
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 2: so good.

2133
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to write. I'm gonna have to write

2134
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 3: it visually. Jason wa'ts yours?

2135
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:20,799
Speaker 1: Okay, here, I do know it down one, six, five, seven,

2136
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 1: all those six all this, I need to let seven

2137
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:30,679
Speaker 1: sit a little bit more. But I'm gonna say one, five, six, seven, three, two, four.

2138
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: I have four as my I I acknowledge that it

2139
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 1: is technically a better film than two, but I'm just

2140
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: going straight emotion. I'm just going to emotion and and

2141
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 1: the movie that I that I will rewatch more and

2142
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:47,120
Speaker 1: frankly like I I if I ever, I'm like, do

2143
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: I want to watch Ghost Protocol, then i just skip

2144
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 1: immediately to five or six, like I'll just skip ahead

2145
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: to syndicated era, because I just I don't need it.

2146
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Shay your your your your final.

2147
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 5: Rankings one, six, five, seven, three, four to two. It

2148
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:07,759
Speaker 5: sounds like we're all pretty much aligned.

2149
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's little much.

2150
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm basically I'm one, six, five seven, so same, and

2151
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 2: then I'm probably gonna put two higher because I just

2152
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:19,639
Speaker 2: love that John Wick style. Then three, then then then

2153
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:23,120
Speaker 2: three and four, I'm going four and then three. Three

2154
01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 2: is for me the narrative nature of it and Philip

2155
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 2: Seyemuhoffman not being in it enough push it.

2156
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 3: But honestly, I really do like on grading on a scale.

2157
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,639
Speaker 2: These movies are all like one or two percentile difference

2158
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 2: until you get to that final New Ones where they

2159
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 2: kind of just blow up to a whole different level

2160
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: of quality.

2161
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 1: So shape part of the reason we're having you on

2162
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: here is one, you're a huge fan of the Mission

2163
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 1: Impossible series. Two, you're a huge fan of action movies. Yes,

2164
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 1: and three you have a new project that marries those

2165
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,639
Speaker 1: things together. Tell us about it.

2166
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:58,040
Speaker 5: Yes, it's called the Action Hero Scouting Report. It's much

2167
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:01,799
Speaker 5: the much like how they do Scotter Reports for basketball players.

2168
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 5: You know, with regard to basketball, this player is good

2169
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:05,640
Speaker 5: at this and bad at this, and good at this

2170
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 5: and bad at this.

2171
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 4: It's like that, but it's action heroes. So it's with

2172
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 4: regards to action movies.

2173
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 5: Now this this hero is good at this and bad

2174
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 5: at this, and good at this and bad at this.

2175
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 5: And there he goes twenty seven of them. You get

2176
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 5: it at Halfway Books dot com. Ethan Hunt is in there.

2177
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 5: You should check it out. Every action hero gets an

2178
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 5: action hero score. That we set that up is we

2179
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 5: have like Gradi and Rubric that has six factors in there.

2180
01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 5: There's the inciting event, like what's the thing that thrust

2181
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 5: this action hero into action? Like how compelling is it?

2182
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:44,639
Speaker 5: How interesting is it? There's the determination an action hero

2183
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 5: is going to be tested, put in impossible situations with

2184
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 5: impossible odds. How determined are they? There's the skills training,

2185
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 5: What sort of skills does this person possess. There's a

2186
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:58,599
Speaker 5: cool factor, because action heroes, above all other things, need

2187
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 5: to be cool. There's what what we're calling wishgnificance, which

2188
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,719
Speaker 5: it's a it's a made up word that we're defining

2189
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:08,760
Speaker 5: as like that feeling you get when you're watching a

2190
01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 5: movie when you're like, I want to be I want

2191
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:11,640
Speaker 5: to be be a trix Ki.

2192
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to be Ethan Hunt.

2193
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:13,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

2194
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 5: Like, how significant is that you look at if you

2195
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 5: look at like Jetly. We'll use Jetly as an example.

2196
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 5: Jetly was in a movie called Romeo Must Die and

2197
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 5: then Romeo Must Die. He flirts with the Leah and

2198
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 5: he plays, he scores a touchdown playing park football, and

2199
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:31,280
Speaker 5: he karate kicks the guy on the head so hard

2200
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 5: that the guys shine spine shatters. That's a very high

2201
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 5: WI significance level versus another Jetly movie, Unleashed, where he's

2202
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:41,080
Speaker 5: just a human dog.

2203
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,600
Speaker 4: I don't want to I don't want to be I

2204
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 4: don't want to be choices very very strange.

2205
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 5: And then and then the last one, the last categories

2206
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 5: legacy level. So like, how did this action hero affect

2207
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 5: alter move forward? The action movie genre or the action

2208
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 5: hero as a as a character, and one way or

2209
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:01,880
Speaker 5: the other. You add all those up you get your

2210
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:02,759
Speaker 5: action hero score.

2211
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:03,640
Speaker 4: But there you go.

2212
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 2: Okay, can you tease just because I'm obviously gonna read

2213
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 2: this because I love action, can you tease, like, who

2214
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,560
Speaker 2: are some of your top who's who are some of

2215
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:11,719
Speaker 2: the ones who scored highest?

2216
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,759
Speaker 5: Oh man, Okay, well, Rambo is in there. Rambo scores

2217
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 5: of course.

2218
01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:15,599
