Great to see you, my friend. 12 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,120 Great to hear from you. Are you prepared to discuss our 13 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,680 Lord and Savior Tom Cruise? I am the storm. 14 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,080 Yes, I am very much ready to go here, buckled up, ready to go, 15 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,080 ready to fly a helicopter, rid of the Halo, jump out of a 16 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,280 plane, ready to whatever whatever the big stunt is. 17 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,160 I am ready for this review. This is one of the best movies 18 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,400 in the in the 20 tens, one of the easily one of the best, if 19 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080 not the best action movie. We'll probably get to that. 20 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,280 This is my this has been the franchise I've been saying is 21 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,660 better than James Bond. This is like my reputation. 22 00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:59,340 I've been saying this since Ghost Protocol, Ghost Protocol, 23 00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,700 Rogue Nation. So excited to talk about this 24 00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:06,220 one. That kind of confirmed my take a 25 00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:09,620 little bit I would say. And looking forward to dead 26 00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:12,220 reckoning, of course. It's interesting you bring up 27 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:15,900 like James Bond because like Americans were looking for what 28 00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:18,140 is the next James Bond? What is our James Bond? 29 00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:21,570 And a lot of people point to. Like Matt Damon is Jason Bourne 30 00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:23,890 and like, whoever's going to be the next Jason Bourne. 31 00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:25,970 And I don't know how many years. I don't even know if we're ever 32 00:02:25,970 --> 00:02:29,050 going to get that. And then people also talk about 33 00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:32,530 Mission Impossible and what a strong back half of the 34 00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:36,850 franchise this has become and how like it's kind of moved from 35 00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:39,970 what it was in the late 90s, early 2000s. 36 00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:44,330 And like, it's kind of rode this new wave action filmmaking and 37 00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:45,890 globally taking the world by storm. 38 00:02:45,970 --> 00:02:48,170 And it's like it obviously sports. 39 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,840 The greatest action star in the world for decades now, Tom 40 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,920 Cruise. And I'm not willing to say this 41 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,600 is like our James Bond, because I think it just belongs in a 42 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,640 totally different category. You know, where it's like you 43 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,960 can have the longevity of 30 years and you can have five 44 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920 James Bonds. But what makes Mission 45 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:11,640 Impossible so special is you could have 30 years and you can 46 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,080 have one guy playing the role and actually. 47 00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:18,180 Without doing the stunts in each and every movie to such an 48 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:20,820 impressive state, you know, So that's why. 49 00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:23,300 Like, he's not the next James Bond. 50 00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:26,220 He's not our James Bond, but he's our Ethan Hunt baby. 51 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:29,140 And I can't wait to talk about the pinnacle, the franchise thus 52 00:03:29,140 --> 00:03:32,860 far with Fallout on the eve of Dead reckoning Part One. 53 00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:36,700 He's the most realistic superhero we have. 54 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:39,820 He's not like he's no superpowers. 55 00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:43,410 And he's not a billionaire with gadgets. 56 00:03:43,410 --> 00:03:44,570 You know, Like, he doesn't gadgets. 57 00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:46,010 But you know what I mean? Like, he's a government, 58 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:49,290 government operative. He's the most realist, like 59 00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:52,170 superhero without superpowers that we have. 60 00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:54,410 Like, it's just like, that's how I look at Ethan Hunt. 61 00:03:54,810 --> 00:03:56,930 And like, James Bond is different. 62 00:03:57,130 --> 00:04:02,370 Like that's one guy. And MI6, yeah, it's similar to I 63 00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:05,770 MF, but like, that's not as much about, like, the stunts. 64 00:04:06,150 --> 00:04:09,230 And the excitement, that's more like get knee deep into the 65 00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:14,150 character study Ethan Hunt. Like they they dabble in that, 66 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:17,709 but it's more like, no. Like I'm going to learn for six 67 00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:20,390 months how to fly a helicopter and make sure that's in the 68 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:23,990 movie and there's no CGI. And it's all about what's the 69 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:26,870 next stunt, what's the next big thing that we're going to do. 70 00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:29,510 They're going to Space Dead Reckoning Part 2. 71 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:32,430 Yeah, it's all about. I don't think they're doing 72 00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:35,220 that. I'm pretty sure that Tom Cruise. 73 00:04:35,220 --> 00:04:37,380 Is going to space to make a movie, but I don't think it's 74 00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:41,460 for Mission Impossible. OK, take. 75 00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:44,100 Take my word for it, I am the doctor on the checkup. 76 00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:48,100 OK, I'll take your word for it, but you get what I'm saying 77 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,860 though, they try to one up everything stunt wise and 78 00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:54,380 entertainment excitement wise versus like a James Bond where 79 00:04:54,380 --> 00:04:58,180 they want to get deeper into the character, you know, it's like 80 00:04:58,180 --> 00:04:59,820 kind of and different ends of the spectrum. 81 00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:02,420 So Mission Impossible is more like. 82 00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,890 Again, this is not the respective mission possible on 83 00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:06,010 the biggest mission possible fan. 84 00:05:06,290 --> 00:05:09,130 It's more like Fast and Furious where they one up every time 85 00:05:09,450 --> 00:05:11,410 versus like getting deeper into the character. 86 00:05:11,970 --> 00:05:14,010 Whereas James Bond or Jason Bourne. 87 00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:17,170 It's like Jason Bourne is trying to learn who he is, his identity 88 00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:21,490 and like his life, his history, every movie and and like I 89 00:05:21,490 --> 00:05:24,810 mentioned, James Bond. And you you bring up like 1 90 00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:27,850 upping like what is going to be the big moment like from the 91 00:05:27,850 --> 00:05:30,850 film and like you can go back to like. 92 00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:33,780 So hanging off a helicopter, it's like, you see that in a 93 00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:35,660 trailer, you're like, Oh my God, or you're hanging off an 94 00:05:35,660 --> 00:05:37,780 airplane. You know, we talked about was 95 00:05:37,780 --> 00:05:40,260 that rogue nation, I believe, when he's hanging off. 96 00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:41,940 And you're like, I can't wait to see that moment. 97 00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,260 And then you go to, like, fallout and you see, you hear 98 00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:48,060 all you hear is Tom Cruise learn how to fly a helicopter. 99 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:49,780 And you're waiting for the helicopter scene. 100 00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:52,860 And now it's like, we see the trailer for dead reckoning. 101 00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:55,980 And we're like, I can't wait to see Tom Cruise drive a 102 00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:59,010 motorcycle off a Cliff. You know it's just like they 103 00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:03,490 tease it and like Tom Cruise, you know practically he wants to 104 00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:07,970 he wants to actually do it and provide like your ticket is 105 00:06:07,970 --> 00:06:11,450 going to be worth the price of admission every time you go see 106 00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:15,450 admission impossible movie. And I think we, I wanted to do 107 00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:18,730 end preparation for dead reckoning A checklist. 108 00:06:19,290 --> 00:06:24,090 This is like what you need to see or you are expect to see. 109 00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:26,690 Out of a Mission Impossible movie, it's like similar like 110 00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:28,890 James Bond. You know he's going to like 111 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:31,450 order a certain drink. You know he's going to drive a 112 00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:33,930 certain car. You know he's going to be 113 00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:37,850 interacting and like having relations with like ladies And 114 00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:42,090 now we have expectations for a Mission Impossible and Ethan 115 00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:43,770 Hunt. So Ricky flick let's make a 116 00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:48,170 checklist what do we know we're going to see in some type of 117 00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:51,690 form or fashion in dead reckoning I'm going to I think 118 00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:53,330 we should go one for one. Right. 119 00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:55,450 Because I think we can just list these on the top of our head, 120 00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:59,250 things that can like literally you can go back to 1996 and you 121 00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:03,210 can like rally all the way to 2023 and say this connects all 122 00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:04,530 of these films and makes them distinct. 123 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:08,690 I'm going to start with one of my favorite things in this 124 00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:12,370 espionage franchise. It's the self destructing 125 00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:15,690 dissolving tape that is so sweet. 126 00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:18,450 And I think that's very distinct too. 127 00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:21,740 Mission Impossible, right? When he has that dissolved 128 00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:24,260 beginning of fallout. We're going to talk about really 129 00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:26,300 like it says we're on to the next mission, baby. 130 00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:30,540 When that happens, you know Ethan hunts on to the next next 131 00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:33,820 mission. Yeah, that's iconic and kind of 132 00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:37,740 going off of that. It's also the intro credits, you 133 00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:40,860 know, with the the, the, the match. 134 00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:43,260 You like the like the match and then it's. 135 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,680 And then keep it says, and it says usually first and foremost 136 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,160 a Tom Cruise production. It usually does ever since Ghost 137 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600 Protocol. So I think to go along just kind 138 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,800 of chronologically speaking or time sequence speaking, that's 139 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,700 another like mission possible staple boom. 100% and such an 140 00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:16,700 iconic theme. And I think it's totally 141 00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:20,220 hijacked like the 60s TV show and it's totally made itself its 142 00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:21,940 own. And it's like you hear that you 143 00:08:21,940 --> 00:08:25,300 associate Tom Cruise just doing something that is going to have 144 00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:29,220 his life on the line. I'm going to also say staple 145 00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:34,140 masks and staged sets. That is always going to happen 146 00:08:34,140 --> 00:08:36,700 one time in a Mission Impossible movie. 147 00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,980 The mask probably multiple times, but having that set up 148 00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:42,860 for one of the like the lesser known villains. 149 00:08:43,150 --> 00:08:47,110 And then Tom Cruise just going go and then taking down the 150 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:48,710 sets. That's how you know you're in a 151 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:52,270 Mission Impossible movie. But yeah, the mass looks so much 152 00:08:52,270 --> 00:08:57,830 better in these movies and like the Fallout stage era, the 456 153 00:08:57,830 --> 00:09:00,890 and now 7. Mission impossibles then, like 154 00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:04,850 1996 is Mission Impossible. It is so clearly Tom Cruise 155 00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,210 wearing an old man suit in 1996 and they just figured it out. 156 00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:10,730 It's just this is what I'm talking about. 157 00:09:10,730 --> 00:09:13,570 Like these movies are getting they look better with age. 158 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:18,130 It's hard to watch 1996 and say like this is the same franchise 159 00:09:18,130 --> 00:09:20,810 in a lot of different ways, but the way the mask is pulled off 160 00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:22,530 now, I love it. And a lot of times it's now 161 00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:24,450 associated with Simon Pegg's character rather than Tom 162 00:09:24,450 --> 00:09:26,730 Cruise. Yeah, and it's funny because 163 00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:30,520 Simon Pegg. I think it was Ghost Protocol. 164 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,080 He was like, why don't I get to wear a mask? 165 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,480 And then now in Fallout, he was like, why am I always the one 166 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960 that has to wear the mask? It kind of flipped on his head 167 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,920 at the inside franchise joke. So that's a good one. 168 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,840 But another one, there's always a woman introduced or something 169 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,320 like that. That is never like deep enough 170 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,640 development between Tom Cruise and her, the relationship. 171 00:09:53,330 --> 00:09:55,850 But it's like, enough to like, get you going in an action 172 00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:57,770 movie, you know? If you think back to Mission 173 00:09:57,770 --> 00:10:01,930 Impossible, the first one, it's Claire Two, It's the girl from 174 00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:05,930 Westworld 3. It's his wife, Mission. 175 00:10:06,770 --> 00:10:08,930 Ghost Protocol. It's the New Girl that had his 176 00:10:09,050 --> 00:10:12,890 her, her boyfriend killed in the beginning of the film. 177 00:10:13,490 --> 00:10:15,730 And then Rogue Nation, it was Rebecca Ferguson. 178 00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:18,090 Like in this one, It looks like it's going to be for dead 179 00:10:18,090 --> 00:10:19,250 reckoning. It looks like it's going to be 180 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:20,730 Peggy Carter. Like you always. 181 00:10:21,210 --> 00:10:21,890 Yeah. Yeah. 182 00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:24,690 It's always like someone that's like not like they're not going 183 00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:26,650 to go too deep into it, but there's always some sexual 184 00:10:26,650 --> 00:10:29,890 attention there a little bit. But, you know, Vanessa Kirby, a 185 00:10:29,890 --> 00:10:33,610 little kiss in this movie, you know, like only two scenes or 186 00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:35,050 three scenes with Cruz. That's it. 187 00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:37,770 Like, not too much development, but we have a random kiss scene, 188 00:10:37,930 --> 00:10:40,770 You know, we just have this random relationship with Tom 189 00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:43,170 Cruise, Ethan Hahn and woman. And that's the thing. 190 00:10:43,170 --> 00:10:45,370 Like James Bond. Like they'll show him taking a 191 00:10:45,370 --> 00:10:47,160 girl to bed. And Ethan Hunt? 192 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,080 He'll never have sex in one of these movies. 193 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,360 Never. There will never be a Mission 194 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Impossible sex scene. He's too. 195 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Tired from jumping out of airplanes? 196 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,120 Like, I think we learned not to do anymore. 197 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720 Like Tom Cruise sex scenes after Top Gun Maverick. 198 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,880 We're like, we can't do this anymore. 199 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,720 Like it. Just take my breath away and 200 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,440 it's. It just doesn't always have the 201 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760 great like chemistry with like the female lead or supporting 202 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760 actress That's gonna that is the love interest And it's more 203 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,960 about, it's all about the mission and that's like, oh, Tom 204 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,440 Cruise approaches these movies. Yo, it's not about the romance. 205 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,240 We are here to watch. Cool. 206 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,880 And that's what I'm here to accomplish and give to the 207 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,600 audiences. So I couldn't agree more. 208 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,280 There'll be some love interest that he won't like dive deep 209 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,760 into, but you'll feel that tension a little bit, 100%. 210 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520 That's a good one you're going to get. 211 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,240 How about obtaining missions through secret passwords? 212 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,040 And you, you teased what Fallout was and I think it's such an 213 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240 awesome way to start this film. Guy knocks on the door. 214 00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:50,620 Whispers to the Warrior Storm is coming and the warrior whispers 215 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:54,860 back. I am the storm. 216 00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:58,860 It is. When you have that, it's the 217 00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:01,140 same thing with the lighting of the match song goes on, OK, 218 00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:03,180 yeah, we're rolling right in that time. 219 00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:06,300 When he has that type of line, it's just, yeah, let's go get 220 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,260 this thing going. And it's such an electric, 221 00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,700 electric way to kickstart these movies. 222 00:12:11,650 --> 00:12:14,250 So electric and another electric thing that's always in these 223 00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:20,330 movies, Tom Cruise absolutely sprinting for at least 20 224 00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:24,370 seconds in a in a scene. And this one has like the the 225 00:12:24,370 --> 00:12:29,690 big like a London Sprint run trying to get Henry Cavill, 226 00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:34,090 Walker, John Lark always running. 227 00:12:34,370 --> 00:12:38,130 And you got to respect the stamina and the running scenes 228 00:12:38,130 --> 00:12:41,290 because he's not like he's 60 years old now. 229 00:12:41,830 --> 00:12:45,630 He was 57 while filming this. You just got to respect Tom 230 00:12:45,630 --> 00:12:49,230 Cruise going all out for us. He could easily just, like, 231 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:52,390 steal a car, you know? He can just like, jump on a 232 00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:54,630 motorcycle, rip someone off of it and like, track it. 233 00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:57,310 But it's like, no, you want to see Tom Cruise run? 234 00:12:57,310 --> 00:13:00,560 Tom Cruise knows. We want to see him run, and it's 235 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,840 a staple of the franchise. We're going to see him run for 236 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,800 10 minutes of the goddamn movie with ultimate stamina. 237 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,320 We're going to see him break his leg. 238 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,680 He's going to hobble around just like almost like a John Wick and 239 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,960 then keep going, you know. And then obviously you could 240 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,360 say, like we talked about the big event, the big stunt that's 241 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,800 coming, that's also in the checklist here, a double cross. 242 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120 You're going to get a double cross every single movie. 243 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Especially this is where it's like where you have like these 244 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,000 big name actors that join late in the franchise. 245 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,680 You're just assuming they're going to turn bad. 246 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,080 Just like Henry Cavill when he was cast in Fallout. 247 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,720 We're like, well, we got our new villain and then it's like here, 248 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Haley Haley Atwell, she's on watch. 249 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,120 She's on watch as a double crosser. 250 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,600 Pom Clementif also on watch. But I think she's actually going 251 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,040 to be like, she's really dressed super weird in the trailers and 252 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,640 she's wearing like a mask and she's really exotic looking. 253 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920 I think she's actually going to be an ally, if I had to make a 254 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,680 prediction here for Tom Cruise. Vanessa Kirby is still like a 255 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,240 mysterious type of character. You don't really know where her 256 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,200 loyalties lie and if she's going to be on cruises side or not, 257 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,720 but you know you're going to get a double cross, and that is 258 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,720 ingrained in the DNA of this franchise. 259 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,480 A good double cross always works in these spy thrillers. 260 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,720 Always it does. And you see it coming and you 261 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760 knew. And I'll talk about this with 262 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,160 Cavil later on. Like it's a grape I have with 263 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,880 this movie. Like it's you see it coming. 264 00:14:22,350 --> 00:14:25,190 But I I it does work, it just always works. 265 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:30,310 Usually, Usually stunted, like usually you find out through the 266 00:14:30,390 --> 00:14:31,790 through through the face mask reveal. 267 00:14:32,030 --> 00:14:34,070 That's like usually how you figure out the double cross 268 00:14:34,070 --> 00:14:36,350 like, oh, we got them again. They'll never learn. 269 00:14:36,630 --> 00:14:39,270 Yeah, I forget what the Simon Pegg line is, but it was like 270 00:14:39,270 --> 00:14:41,310 playing off of what he just said, like, oh, it's just the 271 00:14:41,310 --> 00:14:44,270 job. It's just the job, like you 272 00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:46,550 said. But something that's kind of on 273 00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:49,230 the, like going with that is the plot. 274 00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:54,530 The plot is always just like, oh, we got, we got well, the 275 00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:58,650 apostles from the syndicate with three plutonium balls that we 276 00:14:58,650 --> 00:15:01,250 could just throw around. And then we always have. 277 00:15:01,450 --> 00:15:05,650 And then with the team, it's always the team first, the team 278 00:15:05,650 --> 00:15:08,330 first like, even though they say like in the message like. 279 00:15:09,070 --> 00:15:12,510 Like, oh, if you die or whatever, like we will, the 280 00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:15,030 government and the president will not say who you are. 281 00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:19,150 Like will basically say we don't know you if you get caught shit 282 00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:22,550 like stuff like that. Here it's like, oh, we have a 283 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:25,830 crazy plot that you might not totally follow one for 1:00, but 284 00:15:25,830 --> 00:15:27,950 you get the premise end of the world type stuff. 285 00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:32,390 It's a Mission Impossible movie and usually it involves also a 286 00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:35,150 little trick where it's like, oh, Ving Rhames. 287 00:15:35,970 --> 00:15:38,370 Like we kind of have to sacrifice him and that's the 288 00:15:38,370 --> 00:15:41,970 expectation, but we don't do it because Ethan Hahn doesn't 289 00:15:41,970 --> 00:15:46,010 sacrifice people even though the I MF that's their whole thing. 290 00:15:46,010 --> 00:15:48,610 That's the difference between like the CIA is that they're 291 00:15:48,610 --> 00:15:52,050 more ruthless, they're crazier, they do the bigger stunts they 292 00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:54,010 are. End of the world type of jobs. 293 00:15:54,130 --> 00:15:57,170 That's the I MF. But it's just like, wait, Ethan 294 00:15:57,170 --> 00:15:58,770 Hunt's different. He's not. 295 00:15:59,370 --> 00:16:02,290 He is the I MF. But wait, he doesn't follow all 296 00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:04,980 the I M F's like core rules. It's just so weird. 297 00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:06,940 That's just another thing there. Just a weird. 298 00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:09,220 Plot. And that's always established, 299 00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:12,700 like from the get go that, like he goes against the grain 300 00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,140 compared to the rest of IMF meeting in Ethan Hunt. 301 00:16:15,420 --> 00:16:17,540 And like, yeah, he'll throw some, he'll throw some bad guys 302 00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:20,700 out of a helicopter door. But he ain't killing cops. 303 00:16:20,820 --> 00:16:24,500 He'll never kill cops. You know, he has a moral 304 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:25,980 standard. And that's why it's like, good 305 00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:28,300 when we talk about fallout. Why I think Henry Cowell 306 00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,780 actually worked really well against Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt. 307 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,880 I was going to bring up something else very quickly, but 308 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,120 I think it's escaping my mind. Oh, I think when you talk about 309 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,680 the plots that are explained, it's you have to understand the 310 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Mission Impossible franchise where it's like, you're like, if 311 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,760 someone's never seen one of these movies, they're going to 312 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520 be focusing so hard trying to follow all those different, 313 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080 like, topics that you're talking about, your subjects with the 314 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,400 apostles and like, whatever CIA plutonium, all this crap. 315 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,960 But like, it's OK to zone out during that time. 316 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,400 Like, who cares? Like, it's. 317 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040 Just like it is OK. Let's just watch Tom Cruise 318 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,880 intently stare at this screen with like a map that has 8 red 319 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,720 spots on it and then him say got it, like that's all we need. 320 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,079 And then we're off and running. We're going to get past this. 321 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,599 You just got to like suck it up for like a minute and a half, 322 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,520 two minutes and then we're off and running. 323 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,200 That's what I got for the checklist. 324 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,319 It's a pretty good list. I think yeah, there's other 325 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:27,960 small ones like I need. I need an evacuation code 8. 326 00:17:28,410 --> 00:17:37,090 87911 code bravo like random ass words and it's like got it like 327 00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:39,490 the other person's like got it be there in 2 minutes or 328 00:17:39,490 --> 00:17:43,210 something like that. It is a secured line right? 329 00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:44,770 Like that, little stuff like that. 330 00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:49,490 And as we like continue to like Preview Reckoning, Dead 331 00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:51,740 Reckoning. Is there anything like moving on 332 00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:55,020 from the checklist that you are really anticipating or you like? 333 00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:56,340 We are. We obviously know like we're 334 00:17:56,340 --> 00:17:59,260 jacked up to see Dead Reckoning, we're reviewing fallout right 335 00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,100 now. But is there anything like you 336 00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:03,540 want to see differently from this franchise and you want to 337 00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:05,660 just see it like keep having them play the hits? 338 00:18:06,620 --> 00:18:10,500 So something I'm so happy you brought this question up, 339 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,020 because this is if you have my biggest gripe with Mission 340 00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:17,660 Impossible is it's almost the same every single movie where 341 00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:21,820 it's either Ethan. Is getting framed for something 342 00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:27,980 or it's he has to save someone on the team Okay while saving 343 00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:29,580 the world. Right. 344 00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:33,620 And this one, that reckoning looks like it's going to be the 345 00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:37,380 same thing because he was saying we don't make those choices 346 00:18:37,620 --> 00:18:40,100 where you like sacrifice one of the members of the team because 347 00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:43,220 we don't make those sacrifices and stuff like that. 348 00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,980 It's in the trailer. So I'm like crap, don't just 349 00:18:45,980 --> 00:18:47,980 rerun fallout. Like don't just like. 350 00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:52,890 Don't redo this like we we can do a little more like I said in 351 00:18:52,890 --> 00:18:55,290 the off the top, like I know it's not James Bond character 352 00:18:55,290 --> 00:18:58,490 study even though they do kind of like, you know they brought 353 00:18:58,490 --> 00:19:02,410 back Michelle Monahan like the last movie, his wife or exwife I 354 00:19:02,410 --> 00:19:04,610 should say. You know she'll probably in this 355 00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:08,090 one somehow they still try to do a little bit of development for 356 00:19:08,090 --> 00:19:11,090 the Ethan Hawn even though we don't need it, we really don't. 357 00:19:11,810 --> 00:19:15,890 So what I want them to do, which I don't think they'll do, is 358 00:19:15,890 --> 00:19:19,920 kind of veer away from. What they've already done, like 359 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,360 the major flop points, you know what I mean? 360 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,840 Like, I think it's kind of repetitive. 361 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,600 Yeah, they definitely like, we understand as an audience we 362 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,960 don't have to know the ins and outs of everything about Ethan 363 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,720 Hunt. We don't have to like have this 364 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,520 like psychological study of Ethan Hunt and or a case study 365 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,320 of him. We just want to see him do cool 366 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,120 shit. That's why we're here and that's 367 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,560 what we're going to talk. We're going to talk about 368 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560 Fallout like they try and have a little bit of emotional depth. 369 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:49,150 But I think ultimately it does fall short. 370 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:52,150 And ultimately it's like, why did you have this in here in the 371 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:53,910 1st place? And like, it really feels like, 372 00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:57,230 wow, like first scene and scene you have Michelle Monaghan. 373 00:19:57,230 --> 00:19:59,710 You're like, wow, was this supposed to be like a huge part 374 00:19:59,790 --> 00:20:02,630 of like the motivations of anything on in this movie? 375 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:05,430 Because she wasn't brought up for literally two hours of the 376 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:08,510 film. But yeah, I'm excited for this. 377 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,680 I can't wait. I can't wait for Haley Atwell. 378 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,600 I can't wait for palm Clementif. He's going back at it. 379 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,120 Kittredge also back for dead reckoning. 380 00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,520 Part of the. Early Mission Impossible. 381 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,360 Kit, yes, and sort of like, he's almost like an antagonist. 382 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,760 But then obviously it's like switching sides constantly in 383 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,240 like Mission Impossible movies. He's back on the side of a. 384 00:20:31,890 --> 00:20:35,130 Ethan Hunt, I can't wait to just see the one-on-one interaction 385 00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:37,370 from that, just because it's been forever since we've seen 386 00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:39,490 him in this franchise. But it also goes what you're 387 00:20:39,490 --> 00:20:41,010 saying. They can't let go. 388 00:20:41,010 --> 00:20:43,050 Like, like they'll bring up something from like Mission 389 00:20:43,050 --> 00:20:46,970 Impossible Two and like bring it back to like these last few 390 00:20:46,970 --> 00:20:48,810 movies just because they want to show you. 391 00:20:49,050 --> 00:20:51,210 Those movies still matter. They're still a part of this 392 00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:54,170 lore, even though you could just show somebody 456 and they'd be 393 00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:57,410 like, we get it. Exactly, yeah. 394 00:20:57,410 --> 00:21:01,320 And I think here. Breaking up Dead Reckoning 2 395 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,040 parts because again, that wasn't like the first thing. 396 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,280 It was supposed to be just Dead Reckoning. 397 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,040 They're like no, no, let's make 2 movies out of this. 398 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,440 It's going to be interesting to see how it's going to evolve 399 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,200 into a part till is it going to end on a cliffhanger with Simon 400 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560 Pegg getting kidnapped or a death like? 401 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,400 That's like, I think it's going to end literally with Tom Cruise 402 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,920 hanging on a Cliff. Or. 403 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,680 I hate that to be. Honest. 404 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,760 A literal cliffhanger, I. I think another possibility is 405 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,320 like they lose like a smallpox outbreak does happen in India, 406 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,200 China, Pakistan, and now they're like have to avoid the next one, 407 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,120 or like World War Three or something. 408 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,440 I could see that. And that'll be a good twist. 409 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,560 I would like that they actually lose. 410 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,600 That's pretty interesting. That's that. 411 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200 I mean, if we've wanted anything from part ones and major 412 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600 blockbuster franchises like it's going to end. 413 00:21:54,290 --> 00:21:56,650 Not in favor of like the protagonist. 414 00:21:56,650 --> 00:21:58,930 Like, come on, have we been paying attention last couple of 415 00:21:58,930 --> 00:22:00,210 years? Right, right. 416 00:22:01,050 --> 00:22:05,090 With that being said, I think it's time we talk about arguably 417 00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:09,410 the greatest action movie of the past decade, Ricky Flicks. 418 00:22:09,770 --> 00:22:12,290 And that goes before seeing Mission Impossible dead 419 00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:14,810 reckoning part one. Who knows what our reactions are 420 00:22:14,810 --> 00:22:16,730 going to be coming up on Wednesday's pod. 421 00:22:17,050 --> 00:22:19,890 We're getting early Screener for that, Ricky Monday we're going 422 00:22:19,890 --> 00:22:21,730 to be watching Mission Impossible. 423 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,320 But let's talk about Fallout Ricky flicks. 424 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,880 Is this the best action film of the last decade? 425 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,760 I think so. I I I love John Wick, OKI do all 426 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,240 of them, all four of them. But there's something about 427 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,280 Mission Impossible that's just different. 428 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,760 Where it had its first run, I would say one through three was 429 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,600 successful, but the highs and lows were very far apart. 430 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:55,030 But this is a Renaissance trilogy and they gave us a 431 00:22:55,030 --> 00:22:58,510 Fallout movie that you know, mission goes. 432 00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:02,870 Protocol and Rogue Nation were great, but they just up. 433 00:23:02,910 --> 00:23:05,830 They just upped it even more so than we ever could have 434 00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:08,190 imagined. That's what makes it different. 435 00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:10,430 Where John Wick. Yes, they continue upping it, 436 00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:15,190 more deaths, more gung Foo fight scenes and etcetera, etcetera. 437 00:23:15,630 --> 00:23:19,270 But I just think. Overall, as a franchise like 438 00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:22,310 this is just different. It's on a different level and 439 00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:25,630 that's why I think for like the we're talking about the plots 440 00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:27,510 like we can kind of zone out when they're talking about the 441 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:30,790 apostles and the syndicate and the plutonium a little bit. 442 00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:33,270 That's what's also makes it great. 443 00:23:33,530 --> 00:23:35,850 Because you don't need it. Like usually you would like 444 00:23:36,010 --> 00:23:38,850 nitpick that stuff. And I think that is a nitpick 445 00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:41,130 that I'll have. But I think end of the day, what 446 00:23:41,130 --> 00:23:44,330 makes it great is that it could be so great in all these other 447 00:23:44,330 --> 00:23:46,930 facets that you kind of forget about it and you know just 448 00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:48,850 enough to get you through the whole movie. 449 00:23:48,930 --> 00:23:52,290 So it makes sense. It's so rare that you have the 450 00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:56,570 best movie in one of the best action franchises where like the 451 00:23:56,570 --> 00:23:59,610 lead leading man is in his mid to late 50s. 452 00:24:00,130 --> 00:24:03,050 And you could say it's his best performance and that you could 453 00:24:03,050 --> 00:24:06,570 see him continuing with this role for the foreseeable future. 454 00:24:06,810 --> 00:24:11,130 And what fallout did. It entered Tom Cruise into the 455 00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:15,850 next stage of his like superstardom, where he like he 456 00:24:15,970 --> 00:24:19,290 was just like the Mission Impossible guy and sometimes 457 00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,730 like Edge of Tomorrow. And some of these were like 458 00:24:21,730 --> 00:24:24,690 Oblivion, these random action movies every once in a while. 459 00:24:24,890 --> 00:24:27,570 But now? After Fallout, then going into 460 00:24:27,570 --> 00:24:30,610 Top Gun Maverick and then going into Dead Reckoning, Part One, 461 00:24:30,610 --> 00:24:34,450 which is clocking in it like a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, he's 462 00:24:34,450 --> 00:24:38,810 once again on Top of the World and it's I guess he never left. 463 00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:43,370 But it seems like his popularity now is what it was in the in the 464 00:24:43,370 --> 00:24:46,730 mid 2000s. It's crazy his longevity and the 465 00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:51,290 fallout really starts that run, but in terms of like other 466 00:24:51,290 --> 00:24:54,920 action movies that rival this. Honestly, I put Top Gun Maverick 467 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,240 in last 10 years like Best Action Movies. 468 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,560 It it's it's there too. And then John Wick you brought 469 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,520 up, I put John Wick Chapter 4 also and that's Keanu and Tom 470 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,600 Cruise taking up for the five slots. 471 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,280 And then I had Mad Max Fury Rd. which is nominated for Best 472 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,600 Picture, which is like such an anomaly for that type of fail to 473 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,520 be nominated. Then like Top Gun Maverick 474 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,680 getting nominated is kind of like reminiscent of that. 475 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,680 But yeah, I think those are the five that come to mind. 476 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,200 Any other ones that the kind of rival fallout or in that 477 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,960 conversation for the best last decade? 478 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,040 Yeah, non superhero like pure action scenes or action movies. 479 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,760 I think we nailed them there. I think Mad Max 3 Rd. and I 480 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,520 think that might take the cake, but this is up there like this 481 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,000 might be it. I think it's 1A1B and it's 482 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,320 different because ones like in a pocket like a. 483 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,440 Apocalyptic type of like setting and really artistic and the 484 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,920 landscapes are so extravagant. And then Fallout is just like 485 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,160 the pinnacle of American filmmaking of action films. 486 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,160 So Ricky Flecks like you seen this movie how many times? 487 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,700 Oh God. At least five. 488 00:26:06,740 --> 00:26:09,540 Probably a lot more than that. I don't want to say 10. 489 00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,660 Five times, like sitting down, start to finish, You know, like 490 00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:15,260 sometimes when you like, like, OK, I'll fall asleep watching 491 00:26:15,260 --> 00:26:17,540 the Watching fallout, which is a weird move, but I've done it 492 00:26:17,660 --> 00:26:20,220 numerous times. Or it's like on TV and you're 493 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:22,540 like want to catch a couple glimpses but like watching it 494 00:26:22,540 --> 00:26:24,980 through, I want to say I've seen at least five times as well. 495 00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:29,580 Is there anything that stuck out on your rewatch this next? 496 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,400 Viewing where you want that you wanted to bring up here where 497 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,240 it's like something that maybe Oh, really? 498 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,600 I didn't recognize that last time. 499 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,640 What do you got? I I think the plot, when we talk 500 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,880 about the plot, that really stuck out to me. 501 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,280 I was like, Oh my God, like I feel like I have to bring out a 502 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320 notepad and kind of like make a like a tree chart. 503 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520 There was Charlie Day on the. Yeah, like kind of figure it 504 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,400 out. So that stuck out to me. 505 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080 And another thing that stuck out to me. 506 00:26:56,650 --> 00:27:01,210 That I've always thought, but even more so now is before, 507 00:27:01,210 --> 00:27:04,530 actually, before I say this, Henry Cavill in, like, I'm 508 00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:07,730 talking about the actor Henry Cavill in real life is like 509 00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:09,890 super smart. Like he builds computers. 510 00:27:10,290 --> 00:27:12,250 Like this guy is really, really smart, human. 511 00:27:13,170 --> 00:27:16,970 But on screen. I just don't buy him as a man of 512 00:27:17,130 --> 00:27:20,290 like someone that wrote a manifesto that kind of, you 513 00:27:20,290 --> 00:27:24,200 know, rallied the troops up. He needed to be saved by Tom 514 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,840 Cruise multiple times in this movie. 515 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,400 I just don't think I don't buy him as being that smart at all. 516 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,640 This is the biggest flaw of the movie for me because I actually 517 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,840 think Henry Cavill is good in the movie, but for him he comes 518 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,200 off as such a freaking idiot in the 1st 10 minutes he's on 519 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,460 screen like this is the guy. He's an assassin. 520 00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:50,020 He's supposed to keep Ethan Hunt in check. 521 00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:53,420 And like, he looks the part when Angela Bassett introduces him, 522 00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:55,660 it's like, Oh my God, we got to watch out for John Walker, like 523 00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:58,580 he's going to be a threat here. And you think of the trailer and 524 00:27:58,580 --> 00:28:01,140 like, pumping the guns to like the Imagine Dragons song. 525 00:28:01,260 --> 00:28:02,820 I'm like, wow, this guy's going to be a force. 526 00:28:03,020 --> 00:28:05,620 And what happens in the 1st 10 minutes? 527 00:28:05,620 --> 00:28:08,020 Let's just, I made a list of everything that he did wrong. 528 00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:11,940 First off on the plane. He doesn't have oxygen. 529 00:28:12,510 --> 00:28:14,430 Right, Tom Cruise says like you need oxygen for this. 530 00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:16,270 What are you doing, you idiot? Look at the elevation that we're 531 00:28:16,270 --> 00:28:18,430 at right now. So he doesn't do it, right? 532 00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:22,870 Tom Cruise has to do it for him. And then also after that, Tom 533 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:24,710 Cruise says there's a big storm going on right now. 534 00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:26,950 We have to wait to jump. And then John Walker, being an 535 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:29,230 idiot, says get out of my way. I don't wait for anybody. 536 00:28:29,550 --> 00:28:32,430 Jumps out of the plane, he obviously Tom Cruise has to 537 00:28:32,430 --> 00:28:34,230 chase after him. And what happens? 538 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:37,430 They get struck by lightning right afterwards, gets struck by 539 00:28:37,430 --> 00:28:40,430 lightning, passes out. Tom Cruise has to save his ass 540 00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:43,270 again. Then they finally land, and then 541 00:28:43,270 --> 00:28:46,390 they get in this huge fight in the bathroom and then John John 542 00:28:46,390 --> 00:28:49,910 Walker gets his ass kicked and I'm just like, what is this guy 543 00:28:49,910 --> 00:28:51,510 supposed? To be doing computer. 544 00:28:52,110 --> 00:28:55,270 Oh, and he smashes the face scanner on the dude and they 545 00:28:55,270 --> 00:28:58,150 can't scan the face. That's five things he screws up 546 00:28:58,150 --> 00:29:00,470 in the 1st 15 minutes. On screen, it's. 547 00:29:00,470 --> 00:29:04,310 Crazy man. And I do love the scene later on 548 00:29:04,550 --> 00:29:08,110 where like out ball wins like you know they're faking like 549 00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:10,090 saying like. Like, I can't protect you, 550 00:29:10,090 --> 00:29:11,130 Ethan. Like this. 551 00:29:11,130 --> 00:29:13,170 You've gone too far. You're you're John Laurick or 552 00:29:13,170 --> 00:29:15,810 whatever. And then he he goes like, why do 553 00:29:15,810 --> 00:29:17,770 you think he's here? He's going to stop this. 554 00:29:17,890 --> 00:29:20,490 Yeah, Baldwin. Just like. 555 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,120 A little over the top, but on purpose, but I kind of love it. 556 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,800 Alec Baldwin is so, like, it's funny to me when he speaks in 557 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,040 these movies because like, he's in and out of there. 558 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,920 You could tell, like, he's not putting everything into this 559 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,800 role. Him dying also, which is like 560 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560 kind of like, wow, like that was kind of a weak that scene. 561 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,480 Yeah. And but I wanted to say like 562 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,280 what? Angela Bassett introduces 563 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,880 Walker. She the first thing Alec Baldwin 564 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,840 says is like, your reputation precedes you. 565 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,160 And then he goes out to have like the worst introduction in 566 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,520 the franchise. For a character. 567 00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:53,460 And, like, it's crazy because, like because, like, they try to 568 00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,220 add, like, they try to prepare you for his death a little bit. 569 00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:58,820 I guess another thing I could tell because he said a couple 570 00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:01,620 lines that were like, Oh my God, yeah, And this does make sense. 571 00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:03,180 He's going to die. And like, one of them is like, 572 00:30:03,340 --> 00:30:06,340 they try to make it like buddy, buddy with Ethan Hunt when 573 00:30:06,340 --> 00:30:10,060 they're at the Germany air base. And he's like, I came here from 574 00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:13,380 the CIAA lateral move. Some would, some would say a 575 00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:15,140 downgrade. Or whatever so. 576 00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:17,300 Yeah, but I believe in you, Ethan. 577 00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:20,480 I believe in you. Yeah, do me proud or something. 578 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560 I just, I just hear the Trump impersonation a little bit, like 579 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,480 when he's speaking, you know, Yes, some might say lateral 580 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,080 moves, some might say it down. Great. 581 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,680 I'm like, dude, would you put that on your LinkedIn? 582 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,640 Like what's going on right here. You know what? 583 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,880 I. Mean like again like. 584 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,240 There are other things I did like. 585 00:30:38,010 --> 00:30:40,410 Like one of them, they hinted at it when they introduced to 586 00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:42,450 Walker's character. When he's. 587 00:30:43,090 --> 00:30:46,050 When Tom Cruise is like, yeah, I wouldn't have lost the plutonium 588 00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:49,290 if you didn't shoot the only guy that had eyes on John Lark. 589 00:30:49,650 --> 00:30:51,850 And I was like, oh, that's good. I caught that one this time 590 00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:53,730 around. And a couple other things like 591 00:30:53,730 --> 00:30:56,850 that, that like kind of like say like, Oh yeah, you already knew 592 00:30:56,850 --> 00:31:00,690 Henry Cowell was going to turn. But holy crap, it's so obvious. 593 00:31:00,690 --> 00:31:03,290 He's John Lark. Also you kept saying John 594 00:31:03,290 --> 00:31:05,750 Walker. Do you know his name in this? 595 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:08,270 Like not John Lark, but uh, something Walker. 596 00:31:08,270 --> 00:31:11,270 And it's not John. Oh, I I keep saying John Walker 597 00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:13,710 like, like winners. Like, um, Captain America, The 598 00:31:13,710 --> 00:31:15,310 Winter Soldier. Yeah, right. 599 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:17,910 I'm combining John Lark and Something. 600 00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:19,990 Wrong. Yeah, it's August. 601 00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:24,470 His name is August Walker. I just came off like an idiot 602 00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:26,790 the last 10 minutes. Thank you for finally saying it, 603 00:31:26,790 --> 00:31:28,350 Ricky. Yeah, how many times did they 604 00:31:28,350 --> 00:31:30,030 say August? Did they ever was on? 605 00:31:31,030 --> 00:31:32,590 The IMTB? It's August. 606 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:36,510 Wow, that is crazy. I will say though, I think it 607 00:31:36,510 --> 00:31:38,990 was a good decision. I don't like how they treated 608 00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:41,870 him necessarily with like the dumb decision at the beginning 609 00:31:41,870 --> 00:31:44,950 of his, like his debut and his franchise. 610 00:31:45,230 --> 00:31:49,350 But it was kind of, I think, genius to have like him as this, 611 00:31:49,750 --> 00:31:53,500 like ruthless assassin. Get things done at all costs. 612 00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:56,740 Willing to kill anyone that gets in his way and goes with like 613 00:31:56,740 --> 00:31:58,700 the character that we've come to know with Ethan Hunt that we 614 00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:02,020 talked about previously, the one who is going to do whatever it 615 00:32:02,020 --> 00:32:03,380 takes to save someone on his team. 616 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:07,140 He'll go against the IMF himself, right, in order to do 617 00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:09,420 what he thinks is morally right and just. 618 00:32:09,730 --> 00:32:12,370 And in that regard, I think it was brilliant the way those 619 00:32:12,370 --> 00:32:15,890 characters were written, you know, And that's to have an 620 00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:19,890 action star like Henry Cavill at the time, like, who's like 621 00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:21,970 coming off Justice League. We have to talk about the whole 622 00:32:21,970 --> 00:32:24,290 mustache situation today. Like, I don't feel like getting 623 00:32:24,290 --> 00:32:27,730 into all that but this. Podcast would erupt if we'll get 624 00:32:27,730 --> 00:32:29,570 to DC heavy. It was. 625 00:32:29,850 --> 00:32:34,160 It was such a. I mean massive move at the time 626 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,800 to take Superman and put him alongside Tom Cruise and some 627 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,080 might say a lateral move or maybe even a step down. 628 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,680 Pray for him to do so. But it was like, hey, we're 629 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,040 doing something different. With Henry Cavill, I love the 630 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,600 decision to do it and then like him going full on Bond villain 631 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,360 in that final act and like to see him on the helicopter, the 632 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,080 hair bloofing him with the hit, the machine gun going crazy 633 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,960 shooting at Tom Cruise and then him getting the oil, getting his 634 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,760 face the the gas and the oil in his face getting his face to 635 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800 formed Harvey Dent style. I'm like, yeah, this is like 636 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,760 this is the closest fellow to James Bond but also keeping like 637 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,970 the identity of a yes. No, that final showdown was like 638 00:33:18,970 --> 00:33:21,610 in the helicopters and then they're in like the mountains, 639 00:33:21,970 --> 00:33:25,010 like that was so James Bond. I love that part. 640 00:33:25,410 --> 00:33:28,890 Oh, I was also just to say too, when he gets hit, like after the 641 00:33:28,890 --> 00:33:32,290 gasoline and he gets hit by the hook, I'm like, all right, he's 642 00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:35,850 never coming back again. Like, this isn't horrible. 643 00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:38,290 He will be gone. He will not be another villain. 644 00:33:38,490 --> 00:33:40,970 He is officially. Gonzo, right? 645 00:33:41,050 --> 00:33:42,530 He's not coming back for dead reckoning. 646 00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:46,130 I was watching very closely this time around because I knew this 647 00:33:46,130 --> 00:33:49,770 conversation was gonna end up going towards is August walk 648 00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:53,210 gonna be coming back to this franchise, and if it was like 649 00:33:53,490 --> 00:33:56,890 fast and furious, he'd be back. You know, they figure out a way, 650 00:33:57,050 --> 00:34:01,090 a marvel, but like to see him fall, not only fall like into a 651 00:34:01,090 --> 00:34:03,410 pit of fire, but just get absolutely his head that's 652 00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:05,370 bashed in by that, like that hook. 653 00:34:05,610 --> 00:34:07,410 It's like he's dead. And he see. 654 00:34:07,690 --> 00:34:10,489 The flood, like the blood off the rock where he bounces off of 655 00:34:10,489 --> 00:34:12,489 it, He's done. He is not coming back. 656 00:34:12,690 --> 00:34:15,570 If he comes back, I will look down on the franchise a little 657 00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,489 bit. Then it would. 658 00:34:16,489 --> 00:34:18,690 Go fast like furious route and I don't like that. 659 00:34:20,050 --> 00:34:21,730 Because. Because like Mission Impossible, 660 00:34:21,730 --> 00:34:24,080 it's like, hey. We know, like some of this is 661 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:27,840 obviously unrealistic, but they do have some type of grounded 662 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,920 practicality to what they're doing, you know, and that's like 663 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,960 how what this franchise hangs their hat on, like Tom Cruise is 664 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,280 actually doing these things and we know he's like a superhero 665 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,520 bionic man. Not to the point of like a Keanu 666 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,840 Reeves and John Wick, you know, it's like the opposite of like, 667 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,600 well, it's you see the growth since like the first Mission 668 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,960 Impossible where he's like you see the him hanging off the 669 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,190 train. But then you got John Reno in 670 00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:53,830 the helicopter, in the tunnel. It's like we're past those days. 671 00:34:53,870 --> 00:34:56,030 Those days are behind us, but we're different now. 672 00:34:56,070 --> 00:34:57,350 You know what I mean? Right. 673 00:34:57,710 --> 00:35:01,230 And then one last thing I saw on this rewatch that I wanted to 674 00:35:01,230 --> 00:35:03,910 mention here, and I will get into it more when we do the 675 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:08,790 rankings on the next Pod with the Reckoning review, when we 676 00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:11,190 rerank all the Mission Impossible movies. 677 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:12,630 But I just want to stay on this rewatch. 678 00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:17,310 I was really looking at the comedy, the comedic, you know, 679 00:35:17,870 --> 00:35:22,530 pitch those, you know? Pots here, you know buckets and 680 00:35:22,530 --> 00:35:24,690 you do Simon Peggs like the guy, right. 681 00:35:24,850 --> 00:35:27,930 And this second iteration, the second trilogy that we've had of 682 00:35:27,930 --> 00:35:30,690 Mission Impossible, it's like Simon Peggs, he was in Mission 683 00:35:30,690 --> 00:35:33,810 Impossible 3, but only for a few scenes and he was in the lab, 684 00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:36,290 right. So like, yeah, he was funny in 685 00:35:36,290 --> 00:35:39,450 that but they really capitalized and Simon Pegg post cuz I think 686 00:35:39,450 --> 00:35:41,850 it was 04. So they really capitalized on 687 00:35:41,850 --> 00:35:45,570 his rise, right. And he's now he's a part of the 688 00:35:45,570 --> 00:35:48,650 team, a part of the family, if you want to say that so. 689 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,560 That's great, but there's a lot of subtle comedy that is so much 690 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,080 better in this second iteration of the troll of of the franchise 691 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,880 versus the 1st 3 movies where like Brian De Palma, they'd be 692 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,080 him and Tom Cruise and Millie Lester to be joking around, 693 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,800 kicking each other's up the butt at a dinner table, just laughing 694 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,880 at Jon Voight staying at the Drake Hotel. 695 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,760 And we were supposed to laugh at that. 696 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,600 Like, no. It just feels like a different 697 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,160 character than, like here. It's like the second. 698 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680 Iteration is just so much better where in Fallout? 699 00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:23,490 Like Tom Cruise saying, right, Are you sure? 700 00:36:23,930 --> 00:36:25,530 And like, Tom faces like, no, I had it flipped. 701 00:36:25,530 --> 00:36:27,690 It's left. But then he goes and he's in the 702 00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:30,490 office building and he has to Chuck the chair out and he has 703 00:36:30,490 --> 00:36:33,330 to jump out the window and everyone's looking at him like, 704 00:36:33,330 --> 00:36:36,850 yeah, so funny. But we're not trying to, like be 705 00:36:36,850 --> 00:36:40,930 funny, like with jokes, Like we're just suddenly doing it. 706 00:36:41,130 --> 00:36:43,610 That's how you should do it in these spy thrillers. 707 00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:47,270 And it's so good in Fallout, and I really appreciate it. 708 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:51,510 Versus like Mission Possible 2, which is an abysmal attempt at 709 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:55,070 comedy John Woo or whatever, just terrible. 710 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:58,110 And I just looked back on this one and this rewatch fondly of 711 00:36:58,110 --> 00:37:00,630 that. Yeah, the first half of Fallout. 712 00:37:00,710 --> 00:37:03,590 There's minimal laughs. Like they're like almost, I want 713 00:37:03,590 --> 00:37:05,630 to say 0 laughs. And maybe you want you might 714 00:37:05,630 --> 00:37:09,110 laugh at some of the things happening with Walker just 715 00:37:09,110 --> 00:37:10,790 because it's like unintentionally funny. 716 00:37:11,420 --> 00:37:13,860 Like we were laughing during this pot about it, but it's that 717 00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:16,900 second-half of the movie into like mainly the third act where 718 00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:20,860 you have like the crew back together with Ving Rhames and 719 00:37:20,980 --> 00:37:24,180 Assignment Peg and then bouncing off each other and then you're 720 00:37:24,180 --> 00:37:26,220 talking about it. It's like, they are. 721 00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:28,760 There's a meta. Like, aspect to him. 722 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,440 Like when he throws the chair out the window and then he's 723 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,360 hanging out the window, he's like, I'm about to jump out of a 724 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,200 window and the people are staring at him. 725 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,560 Like, is he really about to do this? 726 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,840 That's like us watching the movie, Like, that's them 727 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,640 recognizing how ridiculous some of these stunts are, but like, 728 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,320 we're doing it, you know, we're going for it. 729 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,280 That's the type of comedy they should be aiming for. 730 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,560 Hopefully we get more of that in dead reckoning. 731 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,200 But something I realized on the rewatch here, Ricky Flex, that I 732 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,760 don't know if they did it in all Mission Impossible movies, but. 733 00:37:55,230 --> 00:37:58,150 The credits are just like spoiling the action sequences 734 00:37:58,150 --> 00:37:59,190 for later in the movie. Yes. 735 00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:00,550 Oh my God. I saw this too. 736 00:38:00,590 --> 00:38:02,830 I'm so glad you brought up. I almost forgot about this. 737 00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:05,950 I was watching this and I was just like, wow, they're showing 738 00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:10,150 him in the helicopter literally like 5 minutes into the movie, 739 00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:13,350 they're showing Rebecca Ferguson tied up with her with a mouth 740 00:38:13,350 --> 00:38:15,310 gag. They're showing Tom Cruise 741 00:38:15,310 --> 00:38:16,790 running and jumping off buildings. 742 00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:18,440 I'm like. This is like it feels like I'm 743 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,200 watching like a fifth trailer for the film I've already seen 4 744 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,720 trailers for and I know I'm about to see this. 745 00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,160 Like, why are you telling me this already? 746 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,000 I kind of want to be a little bit more surprised here. 747 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,400 I didn't notice it until this watch. 748 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,560 I'm so glad you brought that up. That was a big, like, problem 749 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,720 for me. I'm like rewatching it and like, 750 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,240 I've always noticed it. But like, you know, you're just 751 00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,720 like you're you're excited to see the movie. 752 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,240 They literally spoil like a bunch of the twists. 753 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,320 Like, yeah, it's crazy. It's it's crazy. 754 00:38:45,330 --> 00:38:47,210 Yeah. No, it's it's it's just 755 00:38:47,210 --> 00:38:49,410 something I never recognized. Do they do that in like Rogue 756 00:38:49,410 --> 00:38:50,850 Nation and Ghost Protocol? Did they do? 757 00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:52,010 Yes. Yes. 758 00:38:52,010 --> 00:38:55,890 But not now, but but on this rewatch, it wasn't as bad as 759 00:38:55,890 --> 00:38:59,050 Fallout Fallout. It was bad, like on Ghost 760 00:38:59,050 --> 00:39:02,610 Protocol, you know, like they show the Kremlin blowing up and 761 00:39:02,610 --> 00:39:05,570 before we knew that and like a couple other big things, but 762 00:39:05,570 --> 00:39:09,010 like relatively the first act of the movie they showed here, they 763 00:39:09,010 --> 00:39:12,410 showed the final showdown. Yeah, crazy. 764 00:39:12,490 --> 00:39:14,090 That's nuts. And I I don't want to be 765 00:39:14,090 --> 00:39:17,480 watching. Dead reckoning tomorrow and then 766 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,880 seeing like him on the train like I saw on the trailers. 767 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,800 I don't want to see that. I don't want to see anything I 768 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,360 like I that that might spoil something that's gonna happen. 769 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,600 The future of the movie and I'm gonna be. 770 00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,760 I'm watching the title like the the opening credits and be 771 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,720 thinking like whoa like what is that like then what's the 772 00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:35,280 context there? Like that's the only thing 773 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,240 missing, the context. But you know it's all gonna 774 00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,800 happen. You just shut her eyes in the 775 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,900 opening credits. Yeah, that's what I was 776 00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:42,820 thinking. Like maybe just like hey buddy, 777 00:39:42,820 --> 00:39:44,860 tap me when it's over. Yeah, you still listen. 778 00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:48,020 You're still listening to the to yes, get you in the mode when 779 00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:50,060 it. Goes done, then, yeah, in your 780 00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:52,540 eyes, yeah. Bad idea. 781 00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:55,060 So anything else stick out on your rewatch? 782 00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:56,700 Before we get to like the performances here? 783 00:39:57,420 --> 00:39:59,780 I kind of wanted to bring up Tom Cruise and how he actually 784 00:39:59,780 --> 00:40:01,900 performed here. Yeah, I would say Tom Cruise 785 00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:04,300 stuck out to me a little more here too, like in a positive 786 00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:07,100 way. Because there is a certain type 787 00:40:07,140 --> 00:40:09,190 of. Acting you have to do for these 788 00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:14,390 action films where he takes it so seriously every single moment 789 00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:17,430 of this film. Like he like we talked about how 790 00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:22,270 like he was like kind of fun nature young and almost like 791 00:40:22,430 --> 00:40:25,310 just joyful in the first Mission Impossible movie. 792 00:40:25,310 --> 00:40:28,310 But now he's become like this hardened Ethan Hunt and it's 793 00:40:28,310 --> 00:40:30,350 more it's all about the mission and like. 794 00:40:30,790 --> 00:40:33,110 It just goes into like, when you think about Tom Cruise, his 795 00:40:33,110 --> 00:40:35,870 mentality to the movie, when he knows he's going to be doing 796 00:40:35,870 --> 00:40:39,190 these impossible stunts, he brings that to the actual role 797 00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:41,830 that he's playing. And that's what I freaking love 798 00:40:41,830 --> 00:40:44,150 about Tom Cruise. He's not going to half ass 799 00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:46,510 anything. He'll be staring at that screen 800 00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:48,870 we're talking about where it's explaining the mission and he'll 801 00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:52,510 act like like he has. He's like taking the SAT. 802 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:55,390 Like like he is like his taste. Going harder than ever. 803 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:58,550 He's the I just think every single thing he does that he has 804 00:40:58,550 --> 00:41:00,590 no time for Love, interest, romance. 805 00:41:00,790 --> 00:41:03,630 Anything like that, right? He just, it has time for his 806 00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:06,590 team and the mission and it really just shines through with 807 00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:10,790 his performance and he, it does the action star acting, which is 808 00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:12,430 different than regular acting, right? 809 00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:17,510 You can't, you can't get like man, like I don't know who won 810 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:20,310 best actors. So Brendan Fraser like you, 811 00:41:20,310 --> 00:41:21,710 can't you. He's a great actor. 812 00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:24,950 But can he do what Tom Cruise does in the Mission Impossible 813 00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:28,150 type of acting? Like stunts aside, no. 814 00:41:28,650 --> 00:41:30,610 I don't think he can. Like, it takes a very specific 815 00:41:30,610 --> 00:41:33,010 type, and I don't even think of people like Fast and Furious 816 00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:35,210 have nailed it yet. Like Vin Diesel sort of knows 817 00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:37,610 how to do it based on his character, but no one does it 818 00:41:37,610 --> 00:41:40,770 better than Tom Cruise. Yeah, nobody whatsoever. 819 00:41:40,930 --> 00:41:45,010 And I I just think fallout. Sorry I was just thinking of 820 00:41:45,010 --> 00:41:47,570 this other thing with the Rebecca Ferguson when he learns, 821 00:41:47,730 --> 00:41:52,050 when she learns from Ving Rhames Luther about like his he he was 822 00:41:52,050 --> 00:41:55,370 married and saying Ving Rhames like I only known Ethan. 823 00:41:56,220 --> 00:41:59,380 To like, only two women were special in his life. 824 00:41:59,380 --> 00:42:02,140 I'm like Rebecca Ferguson and I'm like, we're a thing for 30 825 00:42:02,140 --> 00:42:04,380 minutes, not even. And like, they didn't really 826 00:42:04,380 --> 00:42:07,220 confirm that they were a thing. And then she was gone off the 827 00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:10,700 grid while he was still working. Like I was just that that was in 828 00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:11,980 my mind. Had to say it. 829 00:42:13,060 --> 00:42:15,900 That was her in this movie. Like it was the me, like the 830 00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,380 worst. Like the part where like, OK, 831 00:42:17,380 --> 00:42:20,060 I'm gonna go take a piss real quick is where it's like they 832 00:42:20,060 --> 00:42:21,620 have. It was after the motorcycle 833 00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:24,340 chase scene, I believe. And like, she's standing in this 834 00:42:24,340 --> 00:42:28,340 beautiful walkway with the trees that like, are basically 835 00:42:28,340 --> 00:42:31,220 concealing this like, tunnel for them, and they just stare at 836 00:42:31,220 --> 00:42:32,940 each other and walk slowly towards each other for 30 837 00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:34,060 seconds. I'm like, am I supposed to be 838 00:42:34,060 --> 00:42:37,220 feeling something right now? But like, the reason I bring 839 00:42:37,220 --> 00:42:40,300 that up to the Tom Cruise is that he's still like trying 840 00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:43,860 really hard to sell it, you know, and I don't think he's 841 00:42:43,860 --> 00:42:46,580 bad. I just, I don't believe any of 842 00:42:46,580 --> 00:42:49,580 these woman relationships. I just don't and. 843 00:42:51,030 --> 00:42:54,870 It's like going back to that conversation with Luther and her 844 00:42:54,910 --> 00:42:59,870 when he's like, yeah, Ethan and Michelle Monahan's character, 845 00:42:59,870 --> 00:43:01,310 Julia, that's her name. Julia. 846 00:43:01,710 --> 00:43:04,030 Like they decided, like Ethan needed to be there for the 847 00:43:04,030 --> 00:43:06,380 world. You know, like you need to be 848 00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:08,820 like to save the world so it. Came to Cruise, to movie 849 00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:10,980 theaters. There's yeah, that aspect thing 850 00:43:10,980 --> 00:43:12,660 going on. He's like, I have no time for 851 00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:15,620 anything else but making an incredible action movie, that's 852 00:43:15,620 --> 00:43:16,980 my job. That is my purpose. 853 00:43:17,180 --> 00:43:20,060 Yeah, it's exactly who Tom Cruise is to us. 854 00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:23,940 You know, he's like, you know, Tom Brady hanging on and 855 00:43:23,940 --> 00:43:26,780 continue to play. Like he doesn't have to keep 856 00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:28,220 playing, but he's addicted to it, like. 857 00:43:28,220 --> 00:43:31,100 He feels like he has to like, yeah, only like for everyone 858 00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:32,780 too. It's like, hey, like they need 859 00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:33,760 me. Yeah. 860 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120 And like, Tom Cruise is like yelling on set, saying how 861 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,000 important dead reckoning is, you know, and he's doing these crazy 862 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,440 stunts that, you know what, one of these times he could die, 863 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,160 he's going to space. You could die up there. 864 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,640 Like he's doing it for us, really, you know, and showing 865 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,120 like, yeah, even at 6061, he's still the guy in Hollywood. 866 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,280 In terms of like the sentimentality of these movies, 867 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,600 I think. Like we talked about not having 868 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,600 a love connection, but rather I think they did something smart 869 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,520 here. And it's like, hey, how do we 870 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,280 dive into the psyche just a little bit? 871 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,440 It's having him feel guilt, right? 872 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,600 For like bringing people like Michelle Monaghan's character 873 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,840 like into his life and then having consequences happen. 874 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:20,160 And then like having that dream of Sean Harris's character. 875 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,710 What's his name here again? Solomon Harris. 876 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:26,150 Solomon when Solomon Harris is like is not, is not. 877 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:28,870 Oman Lane, it's Shawn Harris. Shawn Lane, sorry. 878 00:44:29,070 --> 00:44:30,270 We're getting our ducks in a row here. 879 00:44:30,270 --> 00:44:35,550 So Solomon, I'm just gonna say Sally when the he is like like 880 00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:37,590 basically ordaining their wedding and like, what the hell 881 00:44:37,590 --> 00:44:38,790 is happening in this first scene? 882 00:44:39,030 --> 00:44:41,710 And then it's saying like, she's gonna die, it's all your fault. 883 00:44:41,950 --> 00:44:43,550 And then at the end it's like, wow. 884 00:44:43,930 --> 00:44:46,450 It's all it's like it's gonna happen and just like having that 885 00:44:46,450 --> 00:44:49,170 type of emotion, I think that's more well suited for the Ethan 886 00:44:49,170 --> 00:44:51,730 Hunt character than actually having that love interest. 887 00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:54,570 I think that's that was kind of a good direction to go if you're 888 00:44:54,570 --> 00:44:56,890 gonna put any type of emotion in the film. 889 00:44:57,570 --> 00:44:59,570 Yeah, they keep doing these dream sequences, like when he 890 00:44:59,570 --> 00:45:01,890 kills the cop, you know? That was weird to me. 891 00:45:01,890 --> 00:45:03,370 I also thought I just like you could throw that out. 892 00:45:03,690 --> 00:45:05,930 Yeah, that's just a time filler. You really. 893 00:45:06,010 --> 00:45:08,970 Didn't mean that it sets up later in the movie though, when 894 00:45:09,170 --> 00:45:11,330 he saves the French cop, You know, right? 895 00:45:11,610 --> 00:45:13,330 I get it. At the end of the day. 896 00:45:13,910 --> 00:45:17,830 I would have felt the same exact way even without that first 897 00:45:17,830 --> 00:45:19,790 dreams. This the top dream sequence. 898 00:45:20,110 --> 00:45:23,110 We just, I think you know what I was thinking like we have to 899 00:45:23,110 --> 00:45:26,150 find a way, a reason for Tom Cruise to go. 900 00:45:26,930 --> 00:45:28,610 To the Middle East, to fly helicopters. 901 00:45:28,610 --> 00:45:30,810 We have to find a reason or no. Go to Kashmir, right? 902 00:45:30,930 --> 00:45:33,650 We have to find a reason for him to go here to fly this 903 00:45:33,650 --> 00:45:36,210 helicopter. 10 people like above the ground. 904 00:45:36,410 --> 00:45:38,610 And OK, let's just connect to Michelle Monaghan. 905 00:45:38,610 --> 00:45:41,010 Let's throw these two scenes in really quick and boom, we have a 906 00:45:41,010 --> 00:45:43,010 beautiful setting top of a mountain. 907 00:45:43,050 --> 00:45:46,170 Henry Cavill, first Tom Cruise on helicopters. 908 00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:47,490 But we got it. Genius. 909 00:45:48,010 --> 00:45:50,930 But I also just want to mention this since it's before we shift 910 00:45:50,930 --> 00:45:54,850 off of cruise here is this is a theory, you know, I've been 911 00:45:54,850 --> 00:45:58,420 working here for a long time. A since Fallout. 912 00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:02,060 Mission Impossible. You know, the first one that's 913 00:46:02,060 --> 00:46:04,300 like Jerry Maguire. You know, he's looking sharp. 914 00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:08,140 He's young, shorthair, you know, serious movie Brian De Palma. 915 00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,340 You know, still quirky a little bit, but still good movie 916 00:46:11,860 --> 00:46:14,420 Mission Impossible too. He has long hair post Magnolia, 917 00:46:14,820 --> 00:46:18,020 right? Post, eyes wide shut, right. 918 00:46:18,860 --> 00:46:22,580 It was right after Magnolia, and it's right when he's about to 919 00:46:22,580 --> 00:46:25,700 make that action turn on a permanent basis. 920 00:46:26,270 --> 00:46:29,710 So it's like all right long hair you know mission possible. 3JJ 921 00:46:29,710 --> 00:46:33,430 Abrams, he's back to short hair. You know he's got to change up 922 00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:37,750 Ethan Hunt get more serious. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the 923 00:46:37,750 --> 00:46:39,190 villain. You got to go head to head with 924 00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:42,190 them. Back to short hair goes protocol 925 00:46:42,190 --> 00:46:45,350 and rogue nation. Long hair kind of like this 926 00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:47,790 outlaw. You know I'm back. 927 00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:50,470 I was in a Moscow prison. I'm back. 928 00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:54,230 But all out it's like in his performance is a lot deeper. 929 00:46:54,730 --> 00:46:58,090 A lot more sentimental or serious, mature. 930 00:46:58,570 --> 00:47:01,810 So go back to short hair. Got to keep the short hair. 931 00:47:01,810 --> 00:47:04,690 Now he cannot go back to long hair again. 932 00:47:04,810 --> 00:47:06,490 I think for any role he ever does again I. 933 00:47:06,610 --> 00:47:09,130 Don't know. I think he's physically can go 934 00:47:09,130 --> 00:47:11,690 to long hair. You're just being a little 935 00:47:11,690 --> 00:47:13,170 disrespectful. He's getting older. 936 00:47:13,170 --> 00:47:14,610 I don't know. He has long hair right now. 937 00:47:15,370 --> 00:47:17,170 Does he? Oh, yeah, he kind of does, yeah. 938 00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:18,450 Yeah, that's why. You know that's. 939 00:47:18,490 --> 00:47:20,730 Because he's trying to wheel Shakira, he's got to have a 940 00:47:20,730 --> 00:47:21,370 little bit. More hair. 941 00:47:21,370 --> 00:47:24,270 That's why I'm a little nervous. He's probably filming something 942 00:47:24,270 --> 00:47:26,310 soon. He's gotta cut it. 943 00:47:26,910 --> 00:47:30,590 Yeah, you're right. Now he has to, like, have an 944 00:47:30,590 --> 00:47:34,070 iconic look, like the James Bond with the suit. 945 00:47:34,070 --> 00:47:38,870 We need Tom Cruise, black outfit, short, tight haircut. 946 00:47:39,070 --> 00:47:41,950 That's Ethan Hahn. Like, we need to have that look 947 00:47:41,950 --> 00:47:45,760 down pat, you know? I want to talk about other 948 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,920 performances here because obviously like Tom Cruise is the 949 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,280 standout because and then Henry Cavill I think does a solid job. 950 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,520 But I think Rebecca Ferguson actually is amazing in this 951 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,120 movie. But she's just so overqualified. 952 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,320 It's like like based on like what they her character calls 953 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,240 for in like her connection to Ethan Han. 954 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,760 Yeah, it's good to see like they have the connection from movie 955 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,200 to movie. But like and it's interesting 956 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,920 when they throw another wrench into like the plot, it's you 957 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,640 don't like, it's getting a little more complicated, but 958 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,400 like who cares? We like to see Rebecca Ferguson. 959 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,890 It's just amazing that. Like she gets to play like this. 960 00:48:17,570 --> 00:48:20,610 10 minutes of screen time type of role in Mission if possible. 961 00:48:20,610 --> 00:48:23,050 Like we're privileged to be able to get that from Rebecca 962 00:48:23,050 --> 00:48:24,570 Ferguson. Yeah, I'm. 963 00:48:24,730 --> 00:48:28,370 I'm not really a big Rebecca Ferguson guy, as in looks wise, 964 00:48:28,370 --> 00:48:30,570 I never thought her to be very attractive. 965 00:48:30,770 --> 00:48:35,090 Another thing, but but another thing that stuck out in this 966 00:48:35,090 --> 00:48:36,970 rewatch. I found her attractive in this 967 00:48:36,970 --> 00:48:39,040 movie. And she was doing the action 968 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,280 sequencing, too. When she does the Black Widow 969 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,120 with the leg across the guy's neck and chokes him out, I'm 970 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,800 like, damn. I was like, wow, Rebecca 971 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,360 Ferguson like pretty, pretty good. 972 00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:52,280 Pretty good. Like, I was impressed. 973 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:53,560 So. That's another thing. 974 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,280 In this rewatch, I was like Rebecca Ferguson, much better 975 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,720 performance than I originally remembered, and also looked 976 00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:00,580 really good. Low key Rocket. 977 00:49:00,580 --> 00:49:03,140 And Speaking of rockets, Vanessa Kirby introduction into the 978 00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:06,780 franchise here and we're getting her again in dead reckoning. 979 00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:09,620 Like do we at like the carryover from movie to movie. 980 00:49:09,620 --> 00:49:12,260 And then we got like Palm Clementif and Haley Atwell 981 00:49:12,260 --> 00:49:13,660 coming. They're really embracing like 982 00:49:13,980 --> 00:49:18,100 like female action stars to go alongside a Ethan hunt. 983 00:49:18,690 --> 00:49:21,530 I think she's not really an action star in this at all, but 984 00:49:21,530 --> 00:49:23,970 like she's Internet, she's playing playing an integral role 985 00:49:23,970 --> 00:49:25,570 hopefully. Had that one scene when she 986 00:49:25,570 --> 00:49:27,850 stabbed that guy in the nightclub, yeah. 987 00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:29,570 Dude, don't know. She is the nice the nice knife 988 00:49:29,570 --> 00:49:31,330 spin. Like when she pulled it out of 989 00:49:31,330 --> 00:49:33,730 her leggings, I was like, OK, she has potential here. 990 00:49:33,730 --> 00:49:35,410 Like we could. That could be a tease for 991 00:49:35,410 --> 00:49:37,170 something we're seeing in Dead Reckoning Part one. 992 00:49:37,170 --> 00:49:38,530 I would like to see her cut it up. 993 00:49:38,730 --> 00:49:40,850 Maybe it was. Yeah, maybe we'll audition for 994 00:49:40,850 --> 00:49:42,970 the MCU, potentially next to Storm. 995 00:49:43,130 --> 00:49:45,690 Check out the castings from the Drivein podcast if you haven't 996 00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:49,290 listened to it already. I just real quick with her. 997 00:49:49,650 --> 00:49:53,330 Yeah, they gotta explain this kiss like from Fallout. 998 00:49:53,330 --> 00:49:56,490 I, I dude, this is the 10th. This is like I just the draw of 999 00:49:56,490 --> 00:49:58,370 Ethan Hunt. Like dude, this guy is just, I 1000 00:49:58,650 --> 00:50:01,210 gotta kiss you like. You're a superhero. 1001 00:50:01,610 --> 00:50:04,050 Like, just like. I'm just impressed by you and 1002 00:50:04,050 --> 00:50:06,250 just kisses them like it's like. I didn't even really understand 1003 00:50:06,250 --> 00:50:09,930 the reason for it but like. Tom Cruise is like almost 30 1004 00:50:09,930 --> 00:50:12,780 years older than Vanessa Kirby. Yeah, it could be a sign of 1005 00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:14,780 trust. A sign of trust potentially, for 1006 00:50:14,780 --> 00:50:17,180 him, her to, like, kiss him like that, maybe. 1007 00:50:17,380 --> 00:50:19,380 Other than that, I think it's just like, dude, that's that's 1008 00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:21,100 Tom Cruise. And Rebecca Ferguson was 1009 00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:23,540 watching, and the camera went to hurt right after the kiss. 1010 00:50:23,580 --> 00:50:26,060 I was like. He's like, you bitch. 1011 00:50:26,860 --> 00:50:29,380 And they just talk about like literally taking her, like, 1012 00:50:29,380 --> 00:50:31,860 like, like like literally kidnapping like Rebecca 1013 00:50:31,860 --> 00:50:33,780 Ferguson's character, which makes it even funnier. 1014 00:50:35,180 --> 00:50:40,260 Yeah, the way that, like, Tom Cruise, like, accepted that kiss 1015 00:50:40,260 --> 00:50:42,520 in the moment. And he didn't kiss her at all 1016 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,840 and maybe think like, maybe she went off script and she just 1017 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,720 kissed him and like, like, let's just give this to give us a 1018 00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:49,080 shot. I gotta make a name for myself. 1019 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,400 This is the big movie for me, for Vanessa Kirby. 1020 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,520 She's like, I'm just gonna kiss Tom Cruise and see what happens. 1021 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,600 Other guys here, like, I think Bing Rames, it's interesting 1022 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,160 that he has lasted this long in the franchise aside from Tom 1023 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,320 Cruise, like the longest tenured member of the Mission Impossible 1024 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,400 franchise going back to 1996. And I was thinking about it, 1025 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,080 Ricky with Bing Rames playing Luther. 1026 00:51:11,410 --> 00:51:15,170 When he was cast it was probably a big deal for Mission 1027 00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:18,850 Impossible like Pulp Fiction 1994 and Marcellus Wallace only 1028 00:51:18,850 --> 00:51:22,850 two years later him getting cast alongside John Reno who also in 1029 00:51:22,850 --> 00:51:25,810 1994 is coming off Leon the Professional. 1030 00:51:25,930 --> 00:51:27,930 Having those guys like inserted into it. 1031 00:51:28,130 --> 00:51:31,450 I would I would like to John jump into the into the DeLorean, 1032 00:51:31,450 --> 00:51:35,650 go back to 1996 and see the hype and promotion of this movie if 1033 00:51:35,650 --> 00:51:37,850 those guys were mentioned much because. 1034 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,080 Like, obviously. Like, you could just find him 1035 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,000 very disposable for these movies. 1036 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,000 Like, I wouldn't be if I had to make predictions for dead 1037 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,720 reckoning, I'd be like like we could see the we could see Bing 1038 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:50,170 Rams bite the dust. No, no. 1039 00:51:50,570 --> 00:51:52,930 But she will never kill him. But if you want, if you're 1040 00:51:52,930 --> 00:51:55,450 looking to draw some type of emotion and one character is 1041 00:51:55,450 --> 00:51:58,930 going to die, it might be like it could be him or Simon Pegg, 1042 00:51:58,930 --> 00:52:01,410 just because he wants to be in the field more often, things 1043 00:52:01,410 --> 00:52:03,570 like that. I think it'll be Simon Pegg over 1044 00:52:03,570 --> 00:52:05,730 him if we had to make a decision between the two. 1045 00:52:05,810 --> 00:52:07,850 Yeah, I'm just saying, like, it's kind of impressive that he 1046 00:52:07,850 --> 00:52:10,610 stayed in this franchise this long without being that integral 1047 00:52:10,610 --> 00:52:13,530 of a piece, you know? It is impressive and like you 1048 00:52:13,530 --> 00:52:15,090 said, like I have to Pulp Fiction. 1049 00:52:15,820 --> 00:52:17,860 And going back to Mission Impossible, like when you said 1050 00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:20,820 John Leno, like, that was just so weird. 1051 00:52:20,820 --> 00:52:24,180 Looking back on it, it's a Oh my God, the Mission Impossible. 1052 00:52:24,420 --> 00:52:26,940 Because like he's coming off like being like, you know, the 1053 00:52:26,940 --> 00:52:29,180 John Wick, you know, the pros pro best. 1054 00:52:29,260 --> 00:52:31,860 But then he's kind of like dumb in that, Like that's dumb but 1055 00:52:32,220 --> 00:52:36,180 not, not clearly, not the best. Like in Mission Impossible? 1056 00:52:36,340 --> 00:52:39,380 Yeah, yeah, He's just, yeah, he's like he. 1057 00:52:40,140 --> 00:52:43,420 You don't believe like in Leon the professional you believe 1058 00:52:43,420 --> 00:52:46,350 that like. Somehow in that world that he is 1059 00:52:46,350 --> 00:52:49,230 like this John Wick, right? But here you don't believe him 1060 00:52:49,230 --> 00:52:51,390 to go like even take on remotely. 1061 00:52:51,390 --> 00:52:53,230 And Ethan Hunt, you're just like, yeah, this guy's not 1062 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:54,910 qualified, this guy should be disposed of. 1063 00:52:55,230 --> 00:52:57,430 And then I will never get the image of him in the helicopter, 1064 00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:58,750 in the tunnel out of my head ever again. 1065 00:52:58,750 --> 00:53:00,950 It was just. One of the worst shot action 1066 00:53:00,950 --> 00:53:04,950 scenes I've ever seen. It was The technology was not 1067 00:53:04,950 --> 00:53:08,520 there. If this 2023 Tom Cruise is in 1068 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,880 the helicopter in a tunnel doing it himself, it's just like 1069 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,320 amazing how these movies have aged and they really like like 1070 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,240 it's amazing cuz like they there's no practicality to that 1071 00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:20,920 scene whatsoever. But now they'd be like, we're 1072 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,640 doing that. OK, any other performances you 1073 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,560 want to talk about? Everyone does their job. 1074 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,040 We talked about Alec Bawin already. 1075 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,920 Angela Bassett was like, kind of like sprinkled in here and 1076 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,320 there. She was OK, She does. 1077 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,960 She's a great actress. He didn't have a lot to do, she 1078 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:34,600 said. Her lines. 1079 00:53:34,950 --> 00:53:37,710 And she did well, like stuff like that, you know, Just a lot 1080 00:53:37,710 --> 00:53:39,470 of smaller roles. People did their part. 1081 00:53:39,670 --> 00:53:42,150 I will just give a shout out. Don't know the guy's name. 1082 00:53:43,110 --> 00:53:44,870 I get to check out on the IMDb here. 1083 00:53:45,390 --> 00:53:50,910 Liang Liang Yang. The John Lark bathroom. 1084 00:53:51,150 --> 00:53:53,190 Good fighter. Didn't get enough of it, but 1085 00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:56,030 he's good. I would love like Donnie yen or 1086 00:53:56,070 --> 00:53:57,750 something to be. That would have been, I felt the 1087 00:53:57,750 --> 00:54:00,550 same thing if it was Donnie yen. Like, holy crap, probably. 1088 00:54:00,550 --> 00:54:03,750 If the if all it was made this year or next year, that's 1089 00:54:03,750 --> 00:54:05,750 probably Donnie yen. I had some buddies over the 1090 00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:09,230 house today and they hadn't seen John Wickforce. 1091 00:54:09,230 --> 00:54:12,350 I was just pulling up John Wickforce scenes on YouTube and 1092 00:54:12,350 --> 00:54:15,550 I was showing like Donnie yen just taking on Keanu Reeves. 1093 00:54:15,550 --> 00:54:17,350 I'm just like, God damn like we need him. 1094 00:54:17,350 --> 00:54:20,590 Like in more mainstream blockbusters, you know? 1095 00:54:21,630 --> 00:54:22,750 And how. Weird. 1096 00:54:22,750 --> 00:54:25,790 Was it? W Bentley is Yellowstone. 1097 00:54:26,350 --> 00:54:29,190 It's just in this movie. Yeah, and it just I can't. 1098 00:54:29,230 --> 00:54:30,990 Every time I see him in something, I'm like, what? 1099 00:54:30,990 --> 00:54:33,710 Could have been because you think it's weird Interstellar. 1100 00:54:34,430 --> 00:54:37,350 Yeah, just like Interstellar. You see him like damn, like he 1101 00:54:37,350 --> 00:54:40,270 like cuz people respect him. You could tell like he's in like 1102 00:54:40,550 --> 00:54:42,870 movies with notable actors and like they're like. 1103 00:54:43,070 --> 00:54:44,150 We know he's. Good. 1104 00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:46,870 But he just never got it. Just never happened for him. 1105 00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:48,710 And never, he never put it together. 1106 00:54:48,870 --> 00:54:51,910 Yeah, and like after American Beauty, his stock had never been 1107 00:54:51,910 --> 00:54:55,870 higher, you know? But I think he just got typecast 1108 00:54:55,870 --> 00:54:58,690 as a really creepy dude. So it's hard to get other parts. 1109 00:54:58,850 --> 00:55:00,330 That's what I'm starting to do though. 1110 00:55:00,330 --> 00:55:05,210 It's that's bad. OK, let's get to the juicy part 1111 00:55:05,210 --> 00:55:06,890 here. Let's talk about action scenes 1112 00:55:07,250 --> 00:55:09,610 and Ricky flicks. I don't even know. 1113 00:55:09,610 --> 00:55:12,650 Maybe we should rank the action scenes because there's so many 1114 00:55:12,650 --> 00:55:15,450 good ones here. Number one, we already talked 1115 00:55:15,450 --> 00:55:16,850 about it. For me at least, this the 1116 00:55:16,850 --> 00:55:20,250 helicopter scene at the end and you people might say the 1117 00:55:20,250 --> 00:55:22,570 bathroom sequence. I would push against that 1118 00:55:22,570 --> 00:55:26,250 because of the difficulty that the helicopter scene was. 1119 00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:30,330 Like to pull that off and look so real and then have like the 1120 00:55:30,330 --> 00:55:33,210 one-on-one fights and you talk about like the bond type of feel 1121 00:55:33,210 --> 00:55:36,010 that it has. I think for me that's number one 1122 00:55:36,370 --> 00:55:40,770 clear and easy. That's the best action sequence 1123 00:55:40,770 --> 00:55:43,450 in the movie. That's the best the level of 1124 00:55:43,450 --> 00:55:49,290 difficulty, the being the third act, like the final showdown. 1125 00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:53,370 Cruz, Cavill, The things that Cruz had to do, like get his 1126 00:55:53,370 --> 00:55:55,090 helicopter license over six months. 1127 00:55:55,410 --> 00:55:58,090 You know, prove it to Airbus so they can get the actual 1128 00:55:58,090 --> 00:56:01,730 helicopter, you know, that's that all plays a part of it. 1129 00:56:02,130 --> 00:56:06,050 But that's not my favorite. My favorite has got to be in 1130 00:56:06,050 --> 00:56:09,410 London when they're running, when he's running and then he 1131 00:56:09,410 --> 00:56:13,010 does the jump, he does the jump, breaks his ankle and then he 1132 00:56:13,010 --> 00:56:14,930 limps afterwards. And they kept it in the movie. 1133 00:56:15,090 --> 00:56:18,250 He gets into the office like we talked about, they go to the 1134 00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:20,740 tape modern. Love that scene. 1135 00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:23,380 That's my favorite, but I acknowledge it's not the. 1136 00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:25,980 Best, There's also a meta joke in there where he is in the 1137 00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:27,820 middle of the church or during us. 1138 00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:29,940 Yeah. And then he goes like, who's 1139 00:56:29,940 --> 00:56:32,340 after you? So he's like CIA apostles. 1140 00:56:32,340 --> 00:56:34,300 It doesn't really matter. And that's where it's like 1141 00:56:34,420 --> 00:56:36,700 understanding like your audience like that. 1142 00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:38,380 We're all thinking that like it doesn't matter. 1143 00:56:38,380 --> 00:56:40,540 We're just about, we're about to watch Tom Cruise fricking run, 1144 00:56:40,540 --> 00:56:42,100 dude. Like that's what we care about 1145 00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:43,380 right now. He's in the middle of the 1146 00:56:43,540 --> 00:56:46,220 funeral and it's like eyes wide shut a little bit, that's. 1147 00:56:46,340 --> 00:56:48,940 Oh yeah, yeah, that's it is a little call back. 1148 00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:52,230 And like, I would say my second favorite night. 1149 00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:54,590 Like again, helicopters. The best. 1150 00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:58,230 But not that's from my third favorite second favorites in 1151 00:56:58,230 --> 00:57:01,190 Paris. I was going to say jumping out 1152 00:57:01,190 --> 00:57:04,950 of the plane. Jumping out of the place because 1153 00:57:04,950 --> 00:57:07,470 of the lightning bolt that goes through both of them and then 1154 00:57:07,590 --> 00:57:10,350 them flying and they look like they're flying like they have 1155 00:57:10,350 --> 00:57:14,270 the the the astronaut suits on. They look so futuristic it looks 1156 00:57:14,670 --> 00:57:17,750 and they have the same type like he has the same type of suit on 1157 00:57:17,790 --> 00:57:20,550 in Top Gun Maverick. I thought that was cool to see 1158 00:57:20,550 --> 00:57:25,390 that but I I don't think you could pick like the you can't 1159 00:57:25,390 --> 00:57:27,790 you just have to make a top five because I it's hard to rank 1160 00:57:27,790 --> 00:57:29,670 these but which one in Paris are you talking about? 1161 00:57:30,460 --> 00:57:31,420 I had. It was a bunch, right? 1162 00:57:31,500 --> 00:57:34,820 I personally like, I like. So the extraction's good. 1163 00:57:34,940 --> 00:57:36,820 You know, they push them in the water, right? 1164 00:57:36,980 --> 00:57:40,100 They go off script. And that initial chase is great. 1165 00:57:40,340 --> 00:57:44,260 But I love the second Chase. When Cruz is by himself, he's on 1166 00:57:44,260 --> 00:57:47,140 the motorcycle, right? He has to go through the Park de 1167 00:57:47,140 --> 00:57:51,340 Triumph or the Arc de Triumph and the story behind that, like, 1168 00:57:51,340 --> 00:57:53,980 they had to basically, like rent out the Arc de Triumph, like one 1169 00:57:53,980 --> 00:57:55,820 of those popular spots, embarrassed but like. 1170 00:57:56,060 --> 00:57:57,860 And they only got like 45 minutes to do that. 1171 00:57:58,180 --> 00:58:00,500 And they had to pay millions upon millions of dollars for 1172 00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:03,620 that location, but they had to do it on on location. 1173 00:58:03,780 --> 00:58:06,380 They had to do it there. They they hired like 70 plus 1174 00:58:06,380 --> 00:58:09,460 stunt drivers and basically they just tell them go in circles and 1175 00:58:09,460 --> 00:58:12,940 don't hit Tom Cruise. And again, they're like and 1176 00:58:12,940 --> 00:58:15,340 again, we only have 45 minutes and nobody messed this up. 1177 00:58:15,860 --> 00:58:19,700 And then at the end of it, it crashes and you're like crap. 1178 00:58:19,940 --> 00:58:22,540 Everyone's closing in on them. But wait, it's Mission 1179 00:58:22,540 --> 00:58:24,680 Impossible. Where's the extraction point? 1180 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:29,280 There's always a plan. So as is altogether, love that 1181 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,640 scene. Yeah, so the extraction into the 1182 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:36,760 motorcycle scene also, it's just like it's something you're gonna 1183 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,840 see in every mission possible is a motorcycle chase and Tom 1184 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,200 Cruise. People always talk about him 1185 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,160 running, but him as a motorcycle motorcyclist also is. 1186 00:58:46,630 --> 00:58:48,270 Fucking amazing. Like seeing him. 1187 00:58:48,430 --> 00:58:51,110 Absolutely. Just flying with the black suit 1188 00:58:51,110 --> 00:58:53,390 on him, diverting, going through traffic. 1189 00:58:53,390 --> 00:58:55,310 It's just like, damn, who's meant to do this? 1190 00:58:55,550 --> 00:58:57,670 He just looks so cool and so smooth doing it. 1191 00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,430 Yeah, we're gonna say. And I love the Halo jump. 1192 00:59:00,630 --> 00:59:02,990 I love it. But we see those in a lot of 1193 00:59:02,990 --> 00:59:05,150 movies that are similar. You know. 1194 00:59:05,230 --> 00:59:09,070 Yeah, but not like that. I was going to say like you 1195 00:59:09,070 --> 00:59:12,830 might see a motorcycle chase, but nothing is like Tom Cruise 1196 00:59:12,830 --> 00:59:14,030 being chased. Right. 1197 00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:18,710 Jump with the one, take no cut until he gets hung up on the 1198 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:21,390 building of the of the gala that he's about to go. 1199 00:59:21,710 --> 00:59:23,030 Really good. Really good. 1200 00:59:23,190 --> 00:59:28,430 He's in the top five for sure, and I would say if we're only 1201 00:59:28,430 --> 00:59:31,160 doing action sequences. That's kind of. 1202 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,160 The bathroom most iconic like that's the one people think of 1203 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,600 with this film you know and that's the one where you have 1204 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,360 Henry Cavill with the fist pump like that moment that the with 1205 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,440 the rolling up the sleeve or whatever you that is the that is 1206 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,080 the fight scene and then breaking through like the like 1207 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,720 the glass and then having them like in the stalls and then 1208 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,400 trying to scan the face the dude's knocking on the door the 1209 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,320 guy wakes up they start banging and says are hitting the stalls 1210 00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,290 back and forth and. I think that is probably the 1211 01:00:00,490 --> 01:00:02,290 most iconic. Iconic. 1212 01:00:02,370 --> 01:00:03,330 Yeah. Iconic. 1213 01:00:03,330 --> 01:00:05,410 Not best, not favorite. Iconic, I think. 1214 01:00:05,650 --> 01:00:08,050 It's hand to hand combat too, as opposed to like what we're 1215 01:00:08,050 --> 01:00:12,050 talking about with a Halo jump to a helicopter or a motorcycle. 1216 01:00:12,170 --> 01:00:14,810 The variety of action scenes here, that's what makes Mission 1217 01:00:14,810 --> 01:00:18,610 Impossible So sick as well. Yeah, so I think, yeah, I love 1218 01:00:18,610 --> 01:00:20,250 that. I love these action sequences. 1219 01:00:20,250 --> 01:00:22,970 We picked out non action sequences. 1220 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,560 Or like obviously those are my favorite scenes but non action 1221 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,840 the Wolf Blitzer, that's just classic Mission Impossible. 1222 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,240 But they went up to getting Wolf Blitzer and and they went all in 1223 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,560 like on the CNN broadcast, you know they really went through 1224 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,240 the acting Luther and Ethan saying like basically saying 1225 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,800 like oh not this time like I'm going to kill him for real this 1226 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,680 time. You can tell he was like because 1227 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,000 like Tom Cruise is a good actor, but you could tell he's act. 1228 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,520 He's acting as Ethan Hunt, but he's acting at the same time 1229 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,520 like he's acting, acting. Top of it. 1230 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,400 And you could tell like, hey, you knew at that moment when 1231 01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,640 like you have being ranged somehow holding back Tom Cruise, 1232 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,760 you're just like okay. This is a setup situation you 1233 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,520 just knew from once that happened, no way in your life. 1234 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,920 Right. And the other one would be the 1235 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,800 other Mission Impossible trope with the mask when. 1236 01:01:13,660 --> 01:01:16,380 John Lark is revealed and he's not actually talking to Solomon 1237 01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:18,980 Lane. He's talking to that was a great 1238 01:01:18,980 --> 01:01:21,820 scene and like Al Baldwin is right around the corner and he's 1239 01:01:21,820 --> 01:01:24,940 like, you get that and talking to Angela Bassett, like that 1240 01:01:24,940 --> 01:01:27,020 whole scene that is Mission Impossible. 1241 01:01:27,300 --> 01:01:31,020 Like, I love these two scenes because of how Mission 1242 01:01:31,020 --> 01:01:35,300 Impossible they are, but in this respect, like the end fallout 1243 01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:38,620 specifically, they just feel like it was so ramped up. 1244 01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,480 Like it was just upped them. So much intensity. 1245 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,920 Yeah, the stakes are higher, even though the stakes are 1246 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,320 always high mission possible. Like I said, it's always world 1247 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,280 ending missions, but here it's like individually, like big, 1248 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,880 like it was so fulfilling to see. 1249 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,480 And like seeing a Benny, like have that moment as I'm like 1250 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,600 him, like what's going back to like the earlier movies in the 1251 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,080 franchise? Like him wanting to be more 1252 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,440 involved with actual like in the field experience and seeing him 1253 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,240 pull that off. You're like, hell yeah, let's 1254 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,360 go. Awesome stuff. 1255 01:02:08,860 --> 01:02:10,460 Good for you, Benji. Good for. 1256 01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:12,660 You, Benji, I think I said. Benny, I'm messing up all the 1257 01:02:12,660 --> 01:02:16,140 names today, but where else do we go here, Ricky flicks. 1258 01:02:17,060 --> 01:02:20,260 Those are great moments. I think maybe we should get the 1259 01:02:20,260 --> 01:02:23,260 scores right now. If you maybe we can talk about 1260 01:02:23,460 --> 01:02:26,180 some more flaws potentially if you have any or any other things 1261 01:02:26,180 --> 01:02:28,100 that you want to point out, Let's just go there before we 1262 01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:30,820 hit the scores. I I think I mentioned them 1263 01:02:30,820 --> 01:02:32,540 throughout. The biggest one for me is 1264 01:02:32,540 --> 01:02:34,660 Cavill, and I think Cavill was great. 1265 01:02:34,940 --> 01:02:37,980 It's just I just don't believe this guy wrote this. 1266 01:02:38,340 --> 01:02:40,100 Communist Manifesto type of thing. 1267 01:02:40,180 --> 01:02:43,260 I just don't believe it. And all you had to do was make 1268 01:02:43,260 --> 01:02:48,060 him like like a mole, like, so same character, same exact 1269 01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:52,300 everything, except make sure like just say like Solomon Lane 1270 01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:55,340 wrote it and he's like just working for him, you know, 1271 01:02:55,580 --> 01:02:58,260 That's all you had to do, like his number one guy, like his 1272 01:02:58,460 --> 01:03:00,340 number one henchman, which he basically is. 1273 01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:02,420 Anyways, that's all you had to do. 1274 01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:05,740 And I think they really tried to sell that and it just didn't 1275 01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:07,700 work, at least for me. It just really didn't. 1276 01:03:08,510 --> 01:03:10,150 I agree. I agree. 1277 01:03:10,590 --> 01:03:13,350 One other thing I had was this movie. 1278 01:03:13,350 --> 01:03:15,550 I don't want to sound like one of those people that complaints 1279 01:03:15,550 --> 01:03:18,990 about movie length all the time, but like once you have that 1280 01:03:18,990 --> 01:03:23,630 twist with Henry Cavill, like is John Lark, a movie has like 1281 01:03:23,630 --> 01:03:26,270 another 45 minutes. So I'm just like, what happens? 1282 01:03:26,310 --> 01:03:28,790 I have another 45. Like it's, it's it's in that 1283 01:03:28,790 --> 01:03:31,510 type of vein where it's like John Wick 4, where I'm like, I'm 1284 01:03:31,510 --> 01:03:35,310 OK, it's this long just because like, I love being in this 1285 01:03:35,310 --> 01:03:36,630 world. I love seeing all these 1286 01:03:36,630 --> 01:03:39,670 different stunts. It does feel like, wow, like you 1287 01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:40,710 said, the biggest twist of the movie. 1288 01:03:40,710 --> 01:03:43,350 And now like it feels like now we have, we're watching a whole 1289 01:03:43,350 --> 01:03:45,190 nother movie, you know, as a part of it. 1290 01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:48,710 To me that's just really small one because obviously we like 1291 01:03:48,710 --> 01:03:50,470 being here. Right, right. 1292 01:03:50,470 --> 01:03:52,710 I do agree with you. I feel like that final showdown, 1293 01:03:52,910 --> 01:03:55,550 even though it was amazing, it was really long. 1294 01:03:56,190 --> 01:03:58,110 Really. It was long, you know, the. 15 1295 01:03:58,110 --> 01:04:00,110 minute detonator when they start it. 1296 01:04:00,110 --> 01:04:01,910 It's actually 15 minutes if you watch the film. 1297 01:04:02,370 --> 01:04:03,650 That's great. It's exactly great. 1298 01:04:04,250 --> 01:04:07,130 I love that that if once when you do that, I'm just like. 1299 01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,250 Christopher Nolan, Tarantino, They always do that. 1300 01:04:10,370 --> 01:04:11,370 Yeah. No, Yeah. 1301 01:04:11,370 --> 01:04:13,850 I'm more talking like they're in the like they're getting ready 1302 01:04:13,850 --> 01:04:16,850 to go the Ving Rhames chat with Rebecca Ferguson. 1303 01:04:17,090 --> 01:04:19,730 The car, like when they're in the car, there's always a 1304 01:04:19,730 --> 01:04:22,450 mission possible. They have before they go, like 1305 01:04:23,050 --> 01:04:25,490 they one of the locations that go to around the world. 1306 01:04:26,140 --> 01:04:28,460 There's always one of them. They had to take a car, like an 1307 01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:32,580 hour 2 hour ride and they have to explain what they're gonna do 1308 01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:34,900 again to make sure we understand it. 1309 01:04:35,260 --> 01:04:36,700 That's another like Mission Impossible. 1310 01:04:36,820 --> 01:04:38,980 Action movie tricks. Yeah, exactly. 1311 01:04:39,220 --> 01:04:41,180 I just felt long. You. 1312 01:04:41,540 --> 01:04:43,500 Can cut out some of those conversations, but like, yeah. 1313 01:04:45,420 --> 01:04:48,060 And then just going back, I I'm sorry, I totally forgot about 1314 01:04:48,060 --> 01:04:49,660 this. This is like one at the end of 1315 01:04:49,660 --> 01:04:51,340 the movie. I was like, Oh my God, they have 1316 01:04:51,340 --> 01:04:52,620 to talk about this in dead reckoning. 1317 01:04:52,780 --> 01:04:55,020 So to go back to the beginning of the pod here. 1318 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,600 The CIA is infiltrated. Oh. 1319 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,880 Yeah, like you can't trust anybody there besides Angela 1320 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:03,520 Bassett, can you? Even so. 1321 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,720 Where Henry Cavill after like they they turned like they they 1322 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:10,280 they're he's surrounded, right. He goes like we have you and he 1323 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,640 goes like do you and like those guys turn around and they're 1324 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,080 shooting everybody like all the. CIA agents are all with the 1325 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,440 Manifesto, are all with the possibles or the Syndicate or 1326 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,040 whoever that ain't got to acknowledge that and dead 1327 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:23,990 reckoning. Like say like, oh, the CIA is 1328 01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:27,070 going through a massive shift and we need IMF more than ever 1329 01:05:27,550 --> 01:05:29,230 or something. Like, I I don't know. 1330 01:05:29,390 --> 01:05:31,950 But if they just like kind of forget that and just kind of go 1331 01:05:31,950 --> 01:05:35,870 business as usual with the CIA, that's like saying with Hydra in 1332 01:05:35,950 --> 01:05:39,670 Marvel, like, oh, we're not not going to reboot, we're just 1333 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:42,190 going to keep having Hydra infiltrate our government. 1334 01:05:42,190 --> 01:05:43,950 Yeah, we're just going to like, act like it didn't happen. 1335 01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:48,110 You know, like SHIELD, SHIELD is not infiltrated like anymore. 1336 01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:50,270 Like we kind of weeded them out. No, you that. 1337 01:05:50,270 --> 01:05:52,850 No, don't do that. Yeah, I need the beginning of 1338 01:05:52,850 --> 01:05:56,930 the mission and dead reckoning to be saying like, hey, like 1339 01:05:57,090 --> 01:06:00,050 this, the CIA is in a rough state right now, trying to weed 1340 01:06:00,050 --> 01:06:02,810 out the different apostles or the like. 1341 01:06:02,810 --> 01:06:05,370 Whatever is happening at that time, there has to be some type 1342 01:06:05,370 --> 01:06:06,810 of acknowledgement. We need that. 1343 01:06:07,170 --> 01:06:10,890 Let's get to the scores, Ricky, what do you give a fallout? 1344 01:06:13,450 --> 01:06:16,290 95. I-95 as well. 1345 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,280 I had 95. I think this is also like, if I 1346 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,560 just came out of the theater, I probably would have been like, 1347 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,000 this is a 98. But like after seeing it so many 1348 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,120 times, like getting those nitpicks, that's what I noticed 1349 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,880 with these throwback reviews. It's just like, hey, you've had 1350 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,960 time to rewatch it. It's 567 times and you're like, 1351 01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:35,480 OK, I do see the flaws because like, I've seen it so many 1352 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:36,680 times. That's what that's what happens 1353 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,360 with these throwbacks. But I mean still like obviously 1354 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,160 in my opinion, top two or three action films last decade. 1355 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,960 It's one of the most rewatchable films, too. 1356 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:50,030 Because of these action sequences, because of Tom 1357 01:06:50,030 --> 01:06:54,030 Cruise, the crew like, it has everything, like almost 1358 01:06:54,070 --> 01:06:57,030 everything that you could ask for in a movie, really. 1359 01:06:57,350 --> 01:07:01,910 It's an amazing, rewatchful movie, and it hits every time 1360 01:07:02,310 --> 01:07:04,830 and you got to respect it. And that's why, yeah, like, 1361 01:07:04,950 --> 01:07:07,150 after you watched it so many times, you're always going to 1362 01:07:07,150 --> 01:07:09,350 see nitpicks. I bet next time I see it, which 1363 01:07:09,350 --> 01:07:12,230 might be tonight, I might rewatch it again before seeing 1364 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:14,670 Dead Reckoning, like you'll probably see more. 1365 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:20,440 But at the end of the day, it's Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt and at 1366 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,440 their best, this franchise best. And I just don't understand how 1367 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,520 they're going to top this. I really don't. 1368 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,600 In dead reckoning, part one, maybe a Part 2, but a part one 1369 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:35,020 to top this I really. That that's that's going to be 1370 01:07:35,020 --> 01:07:36,340 tough. You got to pull out all the 1371 01:07:36,340 --> 01:07:38,180 stops. You got to pull out, you got, 1372 01:07:38,180 --> 01:07:40,340 you get, you just got to do something that's really just 1373 01:07:40,340 --> 01:07:41,940 going to blow the audience's minds. 1374 01:07:41,980 --> 01:07:44,340 And I have a feeling like they are going to based on the early 1375 01:07:44,340 --> 01:07:47,380 reactions to this film. It's been quite something to see 1376 01:07:47,380 --> 01:07:50,780 when you see the Rotten Tomatoes at a 99 and consistently staying 1377 01:07:50,780 --> 01:07:56,060 at a 99% going into like the real opening release of the 1378 01:07:56,060 --> 01:08:00,940 film. So that is our review of Fallout 1379 01:08:01,580 --> 01:08:03,990 and. Stay tuned to the Pod this week 1380 01:08:03,990 --> 01:08:06,750 because we have more content that are good. 1381 01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:08,590 That's going to focus on Mission Impossible. 1382 01:08:08,590 --> 01:08:13,470 We're going to have our review dropping Wednesday for Dead 1383 01:08:13,470 --> 01:08:16,109 Reckoning part one. We're going to have spoilers and 1384 01:08:16,109 --> 01:08:19,590 spoiler free for if you are able to see the movie early, we'll be 1385 01:08:19,590 --> 01:08:22,189 able to have those reactions. We aren't able to see it. 1386 01:08:22,390 --> 01:08:25,270 We can hype you up for the film. We're also going to rank the 1387 01:08:25,270 --> 01:08:28,189 Mission Impossible movies. All seven of them. 1388 01:08:28,470 --> 01:08:30,870 You're going to want to stay tuned to that conversation will 1389 01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:34,130 anything in.
