Speaker 2: usnet and then in the middle of this, guess who
Speaker 2: wanders in IMF team member Claire, who has survived This
Speaker 2: is Jim's wife and Ethan is probably or definitely been
Speaker 2: fucking her. Correct How did she survive? She says that
Speaker 2: Jim warned her that something was wrong and then allowed
Speaker 2: her to escape before everyone was killed. Ethan meets with Max,
Speaker 2: and one thing about Max is she immediately also wants
Speaker 2: to fall in as well, truth like a lot, and
Speaker 2: the other thing is she agrees to buy the knocklist
Speaker 2: from Ethan for ten million dollars plus the identity of
Speaker 2: the IMF turncoat. Ethan and Claire assemble a team which

Speaker 1: Helped Davian escape.
Speaker 2: IMF Director of Ops Musgrave, who is actually the mole,
Speaker 2: tells Ethan that the rabbit's foots in Shanghai and helps
Speaker 2: him escape. Ethan goes to Shanghai, gets the foot, delivers
Speaker 2: it to Davian. Davian doesn't think it's real, though, and
Speaker 2: he injects one of those little bombs into Ethan's head
Speaker 2: and says, I'm gonna shoot Julia, and he shoots her,
Speaker 2: but it turns out that that was just like a
Speaker 2: Julia mask and not actually Julia. Musgrave comes in and

Speaker 2: I'm la mal, and Ethan knocks him out and escapes.
Speaker 1: Ethan finds Davin and Julia.
Speaker 2: Davian tries to blow up the bomb in Ethan's head,
Speaker 2: but Ethan kills him. He tells Julia then basically how
Speaker 2: to use a gun and says, listen, I'm gonna walk
Speaker 2: you through the process of frying the little bomb in
Speaker 2: my head with a defibrillator. When he's knocked out from
Speaker 2: the defibrillation, Julia shoots Musgrave. When Ethan comes to he

Speaker 2: Cobalt blows up the Kremlin and pins the terrorist attack
Speaker 2: on Ethan. He's arrested, but he escapes. He meets with
Speaker 2: the Secretary and IMF analyst Brandt Jeremy Renner. Ethan draws
Speaker 2: a picture of Cobalt on his hand in like five seconds,
Speaker 2: no question, He's a cantones and Brandt is like, oh, totally,
Speaker 2: I recognize that guy. That is Terror's genius Kurt Hendricks,
Speaker 2: who wants to start World War three for weird philosophical reasons.
Speaker 2: The Russians then attack the Secretary's convoy and the Secretary dies,
Speaker 2: but Ethan a brand escape. They track Hendrick's right hand man, Wistrom,
Speaker 2: to the burj Khalifa, tallest building in the world, where
Speaker 2: he plans to buy the codes from aroaw the assassin
Speaker 2: who originally stole them from Sawyer from lost It all
Speaker 2: goes left Wistram, who is actually Hendricks in a bath
Speaker 2: so many and we find out that Ethan's wife Julia
Speaker 2: is dead, assassinated by his enemies, and Brandt was the
Speaker 2: IMF agent who failed to stop the killing. Okay, The
Speaker 2: team goes to Mumbai to access an Indian telecom satellite
Speaker 2: that Hendricks plans to use to launch the nuclear weapons.
Speaker 2: The IMF team stops to launch, and Hendrix mortally injures
Speaker 2: himself by leaping off a very tall parking garage. The
Speaker 2: Russians realize that IMF is innocent of the Kremlin attack.
Speaker 2: Everyone's cleared, and later Ethan tells Brant, don't feel bad
Speaker 2: because I actually faked Julia's death so that she could
Speaker 2: go off and lead a normal life while I was
Speaker 2: undercover in that Russian prison. Barry Twisty mission a possible
Speaker 2: rogue nation twenty fifteen because of various fiascos, including the
Speaker 2: recent destruction of the Kremlin, IMF is on thin ice
Speaker 2: with various governments shocking Meanwhile, a new evil spy organization
Speaker 2: called the Syndicate ambushes Ethan and takes him prisoner. They
Speaker 2: sink a guy named the Bone Doctor on him to
Speaker 2: torture him, but Lisa Fasten, undercover m I sixth operative,
Speaker 2: helps him escape without blowing her cover. Hunt calls Brant
Speaker 2: for help. Brent tells Ethan that Congress has shut down
Speaker 2: the IMF and all of its missions and assets have
Speaker 2: been handed over to the CIA. CI director Alan Humley
Speaker 2: believes Ethan and the Syndicate all by himself. Ethan goes
Speaker 2: on the run months past the CIA, always a step
Speaker 2: behind Hunt five, which Brandt finds hilarious. Ethan sets a
Speaker 2: secret meeting with Benji at the opera in Vienna and
Speaker 2: asks him for help iding the guy who ambushed him.
Speaker 2: At the opera, Ethan runs into Ilsea, Faust again and
Speaker 2: the Syndicate again. The Syndicate manages to kill the Chancellor
Speaker 2: of Austria, and Ilsa manages to keep her cover intact
Speaker 2: once again, and Ethan is definitely falling in love with her.
Speaker 2: Hunley believes that Ethan and Benji asassity the Chancellor. Ethan
Speaker 2: and Benji ketchup to Faust She tells him that the
Speaker 2: guy either is looking for is x MI six agent

Speaker 2: he deletes it and tells her to go back undercover
Speaker 2: with the syndicate, but Benji copied the data. Good work, Benji,
Speaker 2: well done. Luther figures out that the data package can
Speaker 2: only be unlocked by the UK Prime Minister. Now Ethan
Speaker 2: and the team have the only copy of the data.
Speaker 2: Our hero goes to London, where Ils pitches Ethan on
Speaker 2: running away together and being in love and leaving this
Speaker 2: crazy spy world behind it. He almost does it, but
Speaker 2: it's a trap. Syndicate take Benji hostage and forces Ethan
Speaker 2: to unlock the datave minutes and delivered to them or else.
Speaker 2: Now the team has to go kidnapp. The Prime Minister Brandt,
Speaker 2: worried about the fallout, tells Hunley, who arrives in London
Speaker 2: Oxide Atlee, the ilse's boss. They brief the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: on hunt Ilse and the syndicate the syndicate, and you.
Speaker 1: Say that, Prime Minister says.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister reveals that syndicate was the creation of
Speaker 2: mi I six Chief attlee ILSA's boss. But Atlee is
Speaker 2: hunting a mask. He sleep starts the Prime Minister and
Speaker 2: sends his biometrics to Luther, who unlocks the data. They
Speaker 2: then sleep Atlee, who immediately admits that he started the
Speaker 2: syndicate and is trying to frame Ilsa for starting it. Ethan, Luther,
Speaker 2: and Brandt discover the file is billions of pounds in
Speaker 2: illicit moneys to run the syndicate because it's very expensive.
Speaker 2: Ethan destroy the disc, but in like five seconds memorizes
Speaker 2: all the account numbers. Now Ethan is the disc and
Speaker 2: he goes to meet Lane. A chase ensuesan at the end,
Speaker 2: Lane is tricked into jumping into a lacked glass box.
Speaker 2: He's taken into custody. Congress undissolves the IF and puts
Speaker 2: Honey in charge, and he's the new sectorary Mission.

Speaker 2: someone named John Lark contracts them to steal three nuclear
Speaker 2: bomb course. After failing to stop the Apostles from getting
Speaker 2: the course, Ethan and a team using an elaborate mask,
Speaker 2: crews involving Wolf Blitzer to chuck Nils dell Brook, an
Speaker 2: Apostle nuclear physicist, into revealing Lark's bomb designs. The new
Speaker 2: CIA director Sloan, forces Hunley and Ethan to take one
Speaker 2: of our regents, Walker, on the mission to find the course.
Speaker 2: They go to Paris, get their asses kicked by a
Speaker 2: guy who they think is Lark, and then Ilseaphous comes
Speaker 2: in and accidentally kills Lark.
Speaker 1: Ethan, now pretending to.
Speaker 2: Be Lark, does dude does the core deal with arms
Speaker 2: dealer Alana Mitzopolis, who of course wants to fuck Ethan
Speaker 2: and and maybe also wants to fuck her brother. She
Speaker 2: gives him one core of three, but says for the
Speaker 2: other two, you have to help us break Lane out
Speaker 2: of prison, which Ethan does, but he does it in
Speaker 2: a way that allows Lane to get captured and doesn't
Speaker 2: kill any cops.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Walker is telling the CIA.
Speaker 2: The Hunter is actually a Rare Minutes and not pretending
Speaker 2: to be Lark. In London using masks. The team plus
Speaker 2: Hunley gets Walker to admit that he is Lark. There's
Speaker 2: a gunfight, Hunley is killed, Walker.
Speaker 1: And Lane escape.
Speaker 2: Walker tells Ethan that he figured out that Ethan faked
Speaker 2: the death of Julia, which was revealed in Gross Protocol,
Speaker 2: and exchange for Lane killing Julia and getting his life
Speaker 2: back his lick back on Ethan, Lane doesn't give Walker
Speaker 2: the course. Julia is an Indian controlled cashmir working on
Speaker 2: a small pox outbreak created by the Apostles. Lane's actual
Speaker 2: plan is to use bombs to poison the water supply.
Speaker 2: They're killing billions. Ethan and team go there. He reunites

Speaker 2: everything's fine. Mission Impossible Dead Record Part one Christopher Carry

Speaker 2: World governments are freaked out, but they also want the entity.
Speaker 2: The only way to control the churn off the entity
Speaker 2: is the special key. Ethan hunt Now a training offer
Speaker 2: is called back to active duty and we get some
Speaker 2: crazy backster and Ethan where some woman that he.
Speaker 1: Loves was killed by this guy named Gabriel.
Speaker 2: He goes to Saudia room to get the key, which
Speaker 2: is in the possession of Ilsa. She's hiding there because
Speaker 2: the US put a bounty on her head. There's a gunfight,
Speaker 2: Nielson dies in DC. Ethan mask sneaks into a CIA
Speaker 2: briefing where he learns about the entity. Basically, it's really
Speaker 2: powerful and it was created.
Speaker 1: By the US.
Speaker 2: We learned that Ethan has half of the key and
Speaker 2: that he fake deals his death and he wants to
Speaker 2: kill the AI. Ethan and the IMF team go to
Speaker 2: Abu Dabi to get another piece of the key. He
Speaker 2: encounters a super pickpocket named Grace, who steals the piece
Speaker 2: of the key from Ethan and also his heart.
Speaker 1: HEIMF team chase.
Speaker 2: Grace around Europe for a while, and Ethan discovers that Gabriel,
Speaker 2: his apparent arch enemy, is tied to the is now
Speaker 2: working for the entity and is somehow involved in Ethan's past.
Speaker 2: In Venice, our old Palmet'sopolis reveals that she has the
Speaker 2: other piece of the key. She hired Grace to steal
Speaker 2: it from ethan arch enemy. Gabriel pops up and says,
Speaker 2: I love torturing you, Ethan. I love talking shit about you.
Speaker 1: Grace.
Speaker 2: By the way, this guy is an international fuck boy.
Speaker 2: He doesn't actually care about you. And now Ethan, you
Speaker 2: have to choose either I kill Grace or I kill
Speaker 2: wall Know.
Speaker 1: Who are you gonna save?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a big fight during which Ethan is tricked
Speaker 2: by the entity and Gabriel actually does kill Ilsa, and
Speaker 2: Ethan is very sad. Ethan in the team pitched Grace
Speaker 2: on joining them and becoming a ghost. She's on the fence.
Speaker 2: Luther makes Ethan promise not to kill Gabe because that's
Speaker 2: exactly what the entity wants, but eventually Ethan manages to
Speaker 2: get the key and save Grace and escape a falling
Speaker 2: train and move on to Mission Impossible, the final Reckoning Ken,
Speaker 2: Ethan and his team destroy the entity and kill Gabriel.
Speaker 3: Wow, with twenty one seconds to spare, absolutely incredible ball.
Speaker 3: Jason Concepciot, WHOA, you did it? What was your favorite
Speaker 3: movie to rewatch as you were recapping news?
Speaker 2: I think that, uh, Rogue Nation or Fallout? I mean,
Speaker 2: I think I think the best one is still the
Speaker 2: first one, and I love them, I agree, But in
Speaker 2: terms of what the series has become for me, it's Fallout.
Speaker 1: And Rogue Nation. Those two are my favorites. What are
Speaker 1: your two favorites.
Speaker 3: Rogue Nation is definitely up there. For me. It really
Speaker 3: made me reconsider the way the franchise kind of works.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'll go out there.
Speaker 3: I'll keep my I'll keep my hilarious trend going. I
Speaker 3: also really enjoy Mission Impossible too. It's not a great movie,
Speaker 3: but it's like a really outrageous example of what a
Speaker 3: John movie is if you give him like an unlimited budget.
Speaker 2: But yes, I mean yes, in terms of plot, this
Speaker 2: is a series with just plot like movements that are
Speaker 2: absolutely bananas.
Speaker 1: But that one is the crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I rewatch in it, a condensed rewatch
Speaker 2: like this. My absolute favorite piece is that every beautiful
Speaker 2: woman falls in love with Ethan, and Ethan falls in
Speaker 2: love with them. I didn't mention that in Dead Reckoning
Speaker 2: the SCENTI the entities like hired assassin Paris played by
Speaker 2: Palmif from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, amazing, glad she's back.
Speaker 2: At one point during the chase, when Edan is trying
Speaker 2: to save Ilsa or Grace, he fights Paris and she's
Speaker 2: like choking him. With her thigh meat like an alley
Speaker 2: and in that moment they kind of fall for each other.
Speaker 1: Yea, and he can't help it. He loved the woman.
Speaker 3: Who's trying to kill him. That's just dream.
Speaker 2: And then later on the Orient Express when Gabriel is like, listen, Paris,
Speaker 2: your job is to like go and trick Ethan and
Speaker 2: kill him and like get the get the key and stuff,
Speaker 2: She's like, she hesitates because she has feelings for him
Speaker 2: now and Gabriel has to stabbered it down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the best but the best thing is at
Speaker 3: the end they were like they were like, guess what
Speaker 3: can you hear her heartbeat?
Speaker 1: She's still alive? And they were like alive because he
Speaker 1: needs interests.
Speaker 3: What could be more appealing to him than a woman
Speaker 3: who died in his arms but comes back to life.
Speaker 1: That's like a dream situation.
Speaker 3: Okay, So who is your favorite teammate for Ethan? Who
Speaker 3: do you think that's the best chemistry? Who do you
Speaker 3: think is kind of your your stand up?
Speaker 1: You know what? I think it's I think it's Benji.
Speaker 2: At this point, Benji is a core guy and they
Speaker 2: have such a great working relationship where.
Speaker 3: They have great chemistry him and Simon Peck.
Speaker 2: They've got into this thing in these last I would
Speaker 2: say two movies where Benji will propose some crazy stunt
Speaker 2: and you know, I think they've managed, like Tom Cruise
Speaker 2: is aging pretty well. So now Tom so now Ethan
Speaker 2: hunts like how many you know? Like when he gets
Speaker 2: to the Oriente Express and he has to leap a
Speaker 2: motorcycle onto the train to get onto it.
Speaker 1: He's like, wait, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 1: And Benji's like, well, you're eat some hunk, like you
Speaker 1: could do this like this and he's like I'm like
Speaker 1: sixty yeah. So I love that they've added that to it.
Speaker 1: Were now Benji is the guy who's like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: can do it, like we've seen you do it, okay.
Speaker 3: I I do love I love being Raims as Lutha.
Speaker 3: I think that the Hacker is a classic stand out
Speaker 3: character and I love that. But I will say I
Speaker 3: am generally a fan of like all the women, like
Speaker 3: you did a great job kind of summing up how
Speaker 3: many crazy incredible women ill sufaust, you know, my wan.
Speaker 3: I do think that Grace is is great love, his
Speaker 3: great love or all of them are great loves.
Speaker 1: I think Grace is really good.
Speaker 3: I think Grace is a lot of fun with the
Speaker 3: kind of pickpocketing and the more kind of like on
Speaker 3: a grind hustle. I think one of the best things
Speaker 3: is like how everyone is moral complicated because there was spies,
Speaker 3: so you there's kind of never any judgment, like somebody
Speaker 3: could commit a mass matter and you're just like, okay,
Speaker 3: but now they're helping Ethan. Then the IMF do what
Speaker 3: nobody knows why that aims I don't understand.
Speaker 2: The thing I love about the Grace relationship is it
Speaker 2: is a callback to Mission Impossible one. When uh they
Speaker 2: steal the Knocklist, it's on like a CD ruck, yeah,
Speaker 2: and Kreeger thinks that he's got control of the CD round.
Speaker 2: He's like, I've got the disc and now you're gonna
Speaker 2: listen to me. You're gonna pay me a bunch of money.
Speaker 2: They're in the safehouse and Ethan is like, oh, you
Speaker 2: mean this, and he like holds up another CD run
Speaker 2: that he like does some sleight of hand with hed
Speaker 2: So he loves a sleight of hand person, a pickpocket
Speaker 2: like Grace, and I love that that is kind of
Speaker 2: the thing that he is drawn to.
Speaker 1: Whe her. He's like, oh, that's a good pickpocketing move.
Speaker 3: Okay, is that with you know, final like the new
Speaker 3: one is called the Final Reckoning? We haven't seen it yet. Uh,
Speaker 3: would you want to continue with like a new IMF
Speaker 3: team post this? Would you would you want to continue
Speaker 3: with characters we've seen or would you want a full
Speaker 3: new reboot because this is a franchise now we're talking about, like,
Speaker 3: you know, thirty years of this franchise, so like you
Speaker 3: want something new or do you want to keep it going?
Speaker 3: Like how do you reimagine Mission impossible?
Speaker 1: Often, well, they clearly tried with Renner.
Speaker 2: Coming in uh huh, it seemed like to take the
Speaker 2: reins and then he just kind of graduated into one
Speaker 2: of the you know, team regular cast brand.
Speaker 1: I would prefer.
Speaker 2: A soft reboot where you relaunch with you do like
Speaker 2: the thing that they tried to do with Renner, where
Speaker 2: you bring in whoever the hot news.
Speaker 1: Oh, Glen Powell, that's a good cool Aaron.
Speaker 2: Glen Powell is great and you kind of and they're
Speaker 2: doing it already right with with Ethan not wanting to
Speaker 2: do like certain like certain crazy stunts and stuff, and
Speaker 2: in the fight with the guy they think is John
Speaker 2: Lark kind of getting his ass kick. Yeah, so I
Speaker 2: think that they're I think that they can kind of
Speaker 2: graduate Ethan to more of a director role.
Speaker 3: Yes, because he's because the statesman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they've established that he has like these crazy
Speaker 2: intellectual superpowers, like he can draw a guy.
Speaker 3: He's that like some kind of identic like I want
Speaker 3: to fix up on like memory like thing, which I.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm like, came back going.
Speaker 2: He memorizes like five hundred bank account dubbers and know
Speaker 2: them justively five seconds before drilling the disk.
Speaker 1: Like he's got these abilities.
Speaker 2: And I think you bring you bring in Glenn Powell
Speaker 2: or whoever is the hot hot shot, right, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you put Ethan in more of a mental role, And
Speaker 2: I think that's how Yeah.
Speaker 3: And we've seen that those two can work great together
Speaker 3: with Maverick, which you know was such a big hit. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I also think that what they've done really well is
Speaker 3: they have built out a cast that's big enough and
Speaker 3: young enough, with people like Palm to basically make it
Speaker 3: feel like there is a continuity without having to do
Speaker 3: like a full requall. You don't have to wait five years,
Speaker 3: like you can really continue this franchise. Now the question
Speaker 3: is will it make money, because it seems crazy, because
Speaker 3: I thought The Dead Reckoning Pop One was like a
Speaker 3: really brilliant blockbuster movie and I had a great experience
Speaker 3: watching it in the middle of the day with definitely
Speaker 3: a bunch of like early bird oaps and they were
Speaker 3: like going crazy, like they couldn't believe the things they
Speaker 3: were seeing on the screen. But it didn't make a
Speaker 3: lot of money, or it didn't make as more money
Speaker 3: as they were hoping, right in the grand scheme of things.
Speaker 3: So I'm very interested to see where this leaves us,
Speaker 3: where this leaves Ethan Hunt, where this leaves the IMF,
Speaker 3: especially because of that hilarious billboard that everyone's been showcasing,
Speaker 3: which is like the Tom Cruise, you know, Rustball woman
Speaker 3: billboard where he's kind looking now over us. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to see this movie. And I just
Speaker 3: cannot tell you how fun that recap was, Jason. That
Speaker 3: was so fucking thank you.
Speaker 1: I almost I had to cut out a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: I almost did make it.
Speaker 2: I was I was like, you know what, I've got
Speaker 2: a lot of time, And then as the time kicked down,
Speaker 2: I realized that I did not well. In the next
Speaker 2: few episodes of X ray Vision, we're diving into Sinners
Speaker 2: and Final Destination Ne's tomorrow and next week we'll react
Speaker 2: to Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning, and the finale of
Speaker 2: the Last of Us See the two and that's it
