I was you in the bathroom. You're going to tell us everything. Every buyer you've worked with, every organization. What the hell is your name? Names, contacts, inventory lists. You have a... My wife, girlfriend. It's up to you how this goes.

Because you know what I'm going to do next? I'm going to find her. Whoever she is, I'm going to find her, and I'm going to hurt her. You were apprehended carrying details of the location, something codename the rabbit's foot. I'm going to make her bleed. and cry and call out your name. You're not going to be able to do shit. You know why?

What is your rabbit's threat? Because you're going to be this close to dead. I know who is the buyer. And then I'm going to kill you right in front of her. Back to another episode of the Action Returns. This is episode 8. I'm your host, Brian. And of course, always with me.

My brother, Nez, what's up? Yo, yo, man. What's going on? It was awesome. awesome to the last episode and I just couldn't wait to get to these next to

and the two after that I mean I'm just these were all well these last two movies were just like they were new to me because there was a few times where I was and I was shocked and I was

I don't remember any of it. The only things I remember of these two films were the big stunt scenes because that was all they showed us and trailers yeah I was a little more excited with these ones I think the these next few going forward are probably action wise good action films yeah I was I was excited going into these ones because I absolutely remembered nothing of part three like I'd all I remember was was Philip Seymour Hoffman was in the movie and that's it.

So, but before we get into these movies, what's going on on your side of the world over there? We're same as the last time we talked. It's still the same, nothing new. I know a lot of the cases that were out at the prison, which was like oversea. 600 are down to like 60. So that's good.

I mean, regarding all them over there. So hopefully I'm sure all the, the prison guards that got it are over it. So hopefully it doesn't, it stays that way. And hopefully they contain the few that still are sick away from everyone else so it just doesn't keep repeating itself.

But I don't know. That's as far as the news that I know. as in our little town in our area where I'm at in California. But in town, I mean, it's still same as usual. You got a mask up. There was some kind of hoopla going on at Walmart today. And I don't know, but I know the cops showed up and there was people outside screaming. I don't know if it was regarding masks because nobody had one on.

Even the police officer didn't even have one on. I was kind of like, oh, man. I said, let me just go inside. But, yeah, that's about how it is over here. And work is still the same. We're all good. Knock on wood. And hopefully we can all get through this.

I kind of went on a little rant on the last East Society. Not as much as I usually do if you guys listen to the show. But I had to throw in some of my feelings on that. this whole situation. We're not here to talk about all that. Go to the East Society if you want to hear me a bitch and complain on how everyone is, or how everyone should be acting. But how's going on up there?

I think the last couple days we've had over 200 new cases. A lot of restaurants are getting shut down because they put in a mandate for no dining and a lot of restaurants were letting people in and apparently there's people out here telling on them so if anybody's listening and you own a restaurant just just do the takeout and delivery because there's obviously people out here snitching on you

and yeah it's pretty much still the same I see a lot of people are wearing masks but it just since since we spiked up here it just hasn't slowed down a bit so I don't know I don't know what's going to happen up here allegedly the movie theater is about to open I don't even know how that's working since they shut down the restaurants for dining in I don't know how the restaurant situation is going to or the movie theater situation is going to work so which I'm not going yeah um well the one in the town that I live in they're both still closed but

over in the Reno area um excuse me I saw that two theaters were open and it was actually a couple new films that were released I think they were more just like the indie films I

I can I don't remember the titles so but a lot of it is just old films and I went I went on a cinema market and just clicked on it to see how they're seating arrangement was and um it only looked like some of the theaters uh were only holding like maybe 20 people if that the way the seating chart was it was like blocks of three like maybe six to a row

i mean not together but three seats together and then maybe skip a row and then another six and so forth on back i'm not sure if the very front rows were all open. But I was wondering, like, if I bought a ticket for something by myself at one of those three seats, I assume they would just not sell the other two seats because I don't want to sit next to people that I don't know. But I'm not, I'm not ready to go back to the theater yet. Yeah.

I'm kind of, I don't know. I don't want to, but it's just been so long. I got that itch. And next week with the opening of the theaters, that Russell Crow movie, unhinged. I don't know. I don't know.

Yeah, a friend of mine, him and his buddies all threw their money together, and they got a private screening for Empire last night. And I was going to go, but I was like, I would be the loner. go sit in the corner because I don't know well other than my buddy that would be like 18 other people that I didn't know

so I would kind of like hey man it's nice meeting you guys I'm gonna go sit over here I didn't want to be like that because it was all his buddies I'm sure they all didn't care and were sitting next to each other but I'm not the one so I don't know I mean but hey Sean if you're listening brother thank you for the invite but I was just I'm still a little worried.

And some of you probably laughing and saying don't be a bitch, but I'm not playing with my health. I mean, my health is as good as it is, knock on wood. But I don't want to be tied down with all that. I mean, just what Lance told us, that was enough to scare me, other than what we've seen on the news and everything. but yeah, nah, I'm good, I'll wait. Diseases and I were talking about it, and he was like, he wouldn't even go back unless there was a vaccine. So hopefully that's in the near future.

Hope sooner than later, but I don't know. We'll see how it goes because I said, man, they still have to test it. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it usually takes years to figure out, oh, okay, this is good, man, and now everyone get it because I don't want to be, yeah, I'll take it. And then next year,

things start falling off my body. So I don't know. I don't want to be the test monkey. Yeah, I was telling my wife, this is how the zombie apocalypse happens that everybody wanted. It's got to come from the vaccine

that wasn't tested properly. Man, that could have been like in the last film in Mission Impossible too. On the last episode, that chimera, I mean, that could have been the same thing. They did why,

obviously, the antidote did work because it saved Tanny Newton, but I don't know. I don't know if I want to do it, man. I don't want them to affect me with rage or whatever that thing

was in Resident Evil. What was that one called? Resident Evil has been a minute. I don't remember Resident Evil. I know the rage one was 28 days later. I know we're supposed to be talking action and everything but

those two movies that I liked both of them the 28 days and 28 weeks later I'm to this day whenever that first one came out I it's not a zombie movie it was just

wild people that were infected with that man made virus or whatever you want to call it I mean it was I didn't see them eating people because they were more all they were doing was just I mean, they were biting you, but they were more just infecting you to create more crazy people. So that's how I saw it.

Yeah, I agree. They, when they got the virus, they didn't die and then come back to life or dead bodies didn't get infected and come back to life. It was just crazy rage virus. So, yeah, I agree with you. It's definitely not a zombie flick. when is the third one coming and what was that like 28 months later or what is that one

yeah um I forgot the director's name he keeps hinting that it's going to happen but that was that kept getting pushed back and that was before the pandemic so who there's no telling where that movie is in development

right now yeah I mean whenever it comes out I'll I'll definitely check it out. But keeping it with action, I did a rewatch on, did you see Wheelman with Frank Grilla on Netflix? No, not yet. I got a lot of movies in my Netflix queue

that I'm slowly going through right now. Yeah, because I watched a new film called Lost Bullet. I talk about it more on the New East Society. So that episode will be out shortly. I just got to get off my ass and put it together. But that kind of had that feeling of how Wheelman was. I mean, a lot of shooting and fast cars, not souped up fast and furious cars. I mean, just whatever car they can get in and race around.

So it made me want to go watch Wheelman again because I do love Frank Grillo. And I'm hoping because I don't know what they're doing with this Escape from New York remake or who's going to play Snake. I'd rather have Frank Grillo, that would be more believable, but I don't know. Have you seen, I watched it last night, Project Power on Netflix? Not yet. That's something I need to watch and we're going to talk about it. DeZeecewe and I both are going to talk about it on the next episode. Is it any good?

It's decent. It's decent. I would say if we have gotten the superhero flicks that we were supposed to over the the summer. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much because I probably would have been comparing it more to that. But for a Netflix movie, I thought it was pretty fun. I liked the whole premise of the taking a pill and you get, it unleashes whatever superpower you have for five minutes. And it was definitely an interesting concept. And I thought everybody was pretty good in it, pretty decent. So.

All right, man. We'll check it. I did see that it was over two hours. Really got to be this long. Is it worth the two-hour watch? It could have been trimmed down to an hour and a half. See? Everyone,

Lance, brother Lance, hit me to this, that we have some feedback for everyone from our listeners from the action return. So I'm going to run through some of this. I believe Oh, it does say what it's regarding So, okay

Because Lance just sent me a bunch of stuff the other day All right, this is really shit about it This is regarding Episode 6 Friend of the show Steven Lobelag It's been 84 years Okay

We had a little hiatus there But we're coming back strong. We're coming every week now. Yeah, we're coming at you quicker than before. It'll be like 74 years, instead of 80. All right, this is regarding bad boys for life. This is Marcus Will Turner. Let's be honest, getting older.

Let's get, let's be honest. Getting older can be the pits as much as the idea for aging like fine wine may seem appealing. It's not exactly reality for most. But that doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't any refined and distinguished badassery left. Over the last decade of two action films have, over the last decade or two, action films have been fully embraced with getting too old,

quote, getting too old for this shit concept, where protagonists recognize there are no spring chicken anymore and having to act accordingly when getting whatever the job, done using more tactics and intelligence over brawn and impulsiveness they even expect a bit of help from from time to time from new blood maybe even past the over barrel touch I'm not a bad reader everyone to said bloods two said bloods before riding into the sunset figuratively speaking since we as an audience

are edging further towards the golden golden years of ourselves. What's the golden years? 50? Well, okay. Well, then I'm getting there. I'll be there before you. I'll be 49 next month. Lance, tell us how the golden years are. Yeah, Lance, he knows more than us.

All right. Those journeys resonate with us and three, and these characters become more was solified in the legendary category. It happened for Riggs and Murta, Rambo, Indy, McLean, Brian Mills, Logan, even John Wig. And now it's happening to Dix's Mike Larry and Marcus Burnett as they take on another threat in their careers and lies while coming to terms with their revelations.

With those revelations I mentioned. Did you like, well, let me finish this. There's a little bit more. see my be girdingly is that a word I can't read everyone of course

the long awaited sequel for their saga joins another exponential third partners on making another solid entry in the franchise without sacrifice and impact despite about 17 years passing in between releases

it's been that long since part two all right this time around unsurprisingly Will Smith and Martin Lawrence haven't missed a single solitary beat with their buddy in chemistry. They also managed to make their characters more realistic despite the crazy situations they are getting into. Joe Pantelino returns to as Captain Howard, whose intense and funny as ever.

Yeah, I thought he was awesome. Though the new additions to the cast welcomed with Kate Del Castello and Vanessa, Hedges, Alexander Ludwig, and Charles Milton. They were great contacts to our leads, Germanic and kept things fresh. Michael Bay is completely absent from the directing chair, so as a result, the action is toned way down from the hypergenic, ultra-graphic, recathon.

That is bad boys, too. See, I liked all that. But Michael Bay is still kind of, to me, is kind of doing the, he doesn't do the slow motion as much. It's his spin around camera or whatever he calls that. I mean, you know how it's like a low shot, but then almost 360s, the characters. Did we get that in this one? I don't think so. But I don't remember.

But all the, everything else with Michael Bay attached to it. And we got a ton of it in the Transformers and both of the. of those in the last two bad boys movies and even in Armageddon and all that but yet this time around each sequence keeps the violence fun and thrills completely executed uh it looks like zero bay hem worked amazingly in his favor so you couldn't ask for much else bottom line this return uh what shit this return uh to form is exactly what the boys or A successful great sequel and a grand time had by all. Definitely transported me back to the good old days when the first film arrived how it was one of the best buddy cop actioners.

I've seen since all three lethal weapons. There are four. Anyway, things may change, but the dynamic remains the same for life. Okay, last time I say this for a while. cue the dramatic theme music rating eight out of ten what did you give bad boys uh for life um i probably have we can spoil this now right it's been out a while it's been out of while you guys should have seen it um i would have gave it an eight except for that end credit scene where he goes to his son who's locked up and basically hints that they're going to be working

in the future and I felt like that just totally took away the impact of the captain dying. I was like, you just kind of made the captain of nothing character and you're going to go work with this dude that has murdered, who knows how many people. But because he's your son, everything is just forgiven, forgotten. And I just, I didn't, I didn't like that whole turn right there. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think it just left it more. we mean to pass the torch but I don't think it'll it'll be good I mean

maybe if they turned it in a TV show but as far as another movie I don't know we'll see I got that one TV show that I've never seen with Gabriel Union's character from part two is it LA's finest Is that a spin-off? I didn't know that Yeah it's uh it's her character the Mark

Martin Lawrence's sister that she played and she has a spinoff show called LA's Finest and it's her and Jessica Alba. I think they're like in season two now. I didn't even know that. I'm going to have to check this out. What is this on?

Fox? I have no idea. I've not seen it. It's like to take it. It's on something I've never heard it before. Spectrum or something. Okay. I'm I'm it's out there all right

all right this next one's regarding the trailer for crazy samurai musashi yes yeah uh Eddie Ramirez hey it's the guy from Venus versus

I didn't even see this trailer what I this one I would have to go back and watch I think this is one day I was posting a whole bunch of trailers so this one, I'm sorry, I don't know which one. I don't either.

I mean, I guess we should have had all these a long time ago. All right, this is regarding the Megan Fox Rogue trailer. I haven't even seen that. I've seen this one. Julian Luckhurst, despite how they edited this trailer, it looks like only three action set pieces. One compound extraction, one car chase, and one night scene. The corridor jump was my favorite.

what is this movie she is believe it or not cast as a member of a special elite force team and I think they're doing a what do you call it extraction

rescue or whatever and I think they're stuck somewhere and there's like a tiger or lion or something that's trying to kill them and it looks like

it's probably going to be stupid, but I'm going to watch it because it looks like it might be so bad it's good. Is this streaming or is this going to be in the theater? Well, we don't know what's going to be in the theater, but I would say from the

look of the production value, this looks like VOD. All right. I'll have to watch this trailer. I mean, I know she can't act, but she's not bad to look at. Minus those thumbs. Yeah, and it's kind of weird. I pointed out, I forgot who I was talking to about this.

It's one of those, you know, how they got, like, the beautiful actress in these action films, and they're in explosions or getting thrown around, and their face isn't really dirty or whatever. That's what's going on in this one. Okay, all right. Now that you guys mentioned that, I did see that trailer. Because I remember you guys talking about that. Yeah. I mean, for all the action, well, the action that's in the trailer, I mean, yeah, makeup's fine and no dirt on your face.

It may be a little smudge, but I don't know. I guess it helps to have a makeup crew right next to you. All right, this is regarding new mutants. Julian Luckhurst. As long as theaters are not open, I think we'll see this coming to Disney Plus very soon. Don't think they'll postpone it any longer. do you um i'm yeah i'd rather either

hulu disney plus whatever you're gonna throw it on i mean i say just get it out because pushing it back years and years and years isn't helping its case i mean i know some people are already bashing it and tearing it apart we've only seen trailers and teasers and images but either way i don't care i just want to see it um so i mean i'm ready i mean I doubt Disney or Fox whoever is going to hold out for theaters. If they're putting Mulan on Disney Plus, I mean, I don't see why they don't put new mutants on that. I hope they're not going to do that in charge. Well, we'll charge you $30.

I mean, forget that. I'll just... Have you heard this thing? I read it somewhere that the reason they haven't put it on any streaming platform, is because of a previous deal made before Disney bought Fox that would the streaming rights would go to HBO. Have you read this somewhere? No, I haven't. Yeah, I'm trying to find where I read it at, but that's probably what's happening.

They probably had a previous deal, and that's why they haven't. Those are neither that or I think they have something that they can make into a franchise out of this. That was my other guess on why they haven't dropped it yet. But that sounds real interesting that if they had a previous deal made, that's probably why they didn't drop it already. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, just put it out. Yeah.

It better be good if you're going to make us wait. I mean, because I, all right, tenant, we know that's going to be good. It'll be confusing. but I just read that that's supposed to be a prequel to Inception. I didn't read the article. It was just something that popped on my screen. So I guess I'll find that and read into Inception. I don't even remember that movie at all.

I've seen it once and I couldn't even tell you what happened. All I know is the Juno's in it and that fake Robin. Was Leonardo in it as well? Yeah, he's the main guy. See, I don't even remember. I just remember the world folding in the place and them flying around like the Matrix in that hallway, which I thought was awesome.

And your boy was in it, Mad Max. I love you. I love Tom Hardy, but not Mad Max. Anyway, listen to our Fury Road episode when we do it. I mean, I got to watch it again. I don't really remember. I know I didn't really care for it the first time, but all right.

Regarding the boys, season two, Darren Wilson. Perfect. Tanya Torrance. I love this show, but Stormfront and Maori aren't women in the comics. I'm hoping the new Stormfront storyline doesn't kill it for me. I know why they did it. Quotation. My quotation, a little bracket thing.

I didn't even tackle season two yet. Or I started it, but I didn't. Did you finish it? You mean season one? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, season one. I'm thinking of Umbrella Academy. Sorry.

I was about to get real jealous. I was like, how did you get season two already? No, I'm thinking of Brella Academy. Yeah, I've seen season one. Season one's fantastic.

Yeah, I'm so ready for season two. I've seen the trailer and it just over the top action violence. Just it's a, it's that superhero show that you, Didn't know you wanted, but now after watching it, you need it. And I am ready. And I think it's September 4th is season 2.

Yeah, they sucked me in when that first episode. After that, I just couldn't stop watching. So I went through the whole thing. I mean, it was badass all the way. Was this, were these graphic novels or what was? Yeah, graphic novel. You can see. It's going to make me read again and again.

All right, where are we? This is the last one. Force of Nature. What is that? Yeah, the Mel Gibson. Oh, okay. Force of Nature is from Eric King. Is this Hurricane High sequel?

Is this a Hurricane High sequel? I know Hurricane Highs was stupid, but I liked it. I mean, it was just goofy. It was just more basically twister, but I liked it. yeah the I started watching it but I may have been a little green so I don't remember

anything and I'm probably passed out so I got to rewatch it it looked decent enough from what I've seen so I don't know maybe maybe I'll watch it before we do the next episode

and I'll have a little mini review it was funny I mean it is what it is I mean, you don't need to concentrate on all the story. It was just more of just big CGI fest on how it looked cool. I mean, it was a little goofy and everything, but what did you expect? It's called Hurricane Heist. All right, everyone, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm sure there's more.

We just got to get it from Brother Lance or I don't know. I'm sure you'll get it. because I just asked him about no he asked me if we're doing feedback and I was like I didn't even know he had any so he started sending me all this yeah I'll start going through

and getting it I wasn't planning on doing it because I know when you and me get together talking about movies we we kind of go a little long so I didn't want to make the show too long but yeah I'll start pulling them together because I know

I know there's a few people that are comment on a regular basis. So I'll make sure to get those together. All right. Let's get to the first film. This is 2006's Mission Impossible 3 or MI3.

We need you to come with us. What the hell is it? It's Hunt. I know it's Hunt. Welcome back, brother. We're at FITTER's everywhere May 5th.

IMF agent Ethan Hunt comes into conflict with with a dangerous and sadistic arms dealer who threatens his life and his fiancee in response directed by J.J. Abrams, writers, there's a bunch of them. Alex Kurtzman, Robert Ork Orsi. I think that's his name's two other ones, but I'm not going to click on it. This stars, of course, Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, rest in peace, is Owen Devian. Dave Davion, I think that was his name. Ving Rames is back as Luther. Dr. Manhattan, Billy. Is there Kurt? Credit up. Credit up as Musgrave. Michelle Monaghan is Julia.

Ooh. Yeah. Jonathan Reyes Myers as DeKlin. Carrie Russell as Lindsay Ferris. And Woo! Maggie Q as Zen. Oh, man. And Simon Pegg is Benjee and Lawrence Fishburn as Theodore Brassel and a bunch of other people.

Ah, Maggie, cute. Why, where were you in the next few? Kick us off, man. What did you think of this installment? Yeah, this rewatch, this recent rewatch was kind of almost like a first time watch because I had no, I remember nothing about this movie. Um, like I didn't. I forgot Billy Cruttup was in it. I forgot the whole storyline of Tom Cruise being married and just everything, but rewatching it.

I changed my mind about saying a ghost protocol is when the series picked up. Mission Impossible three is where the series picked up. I thought it was action packed. I love the addition of Simon Pegg because he brought that comedic, uh, take to it. I love the storyline of Ethan Hunt trying to live this kind of normal life and just get away from the whole doing all these impossible missions and trying to just lead a normal married life. And Philip Seymour Hoffman was a step up as a villain from the last guy. I just like the way he carried himself throughout the movie as a villain. I love that they brought Ving Rames back.

I totally forgot Billy Cruttup was in here because I liked that whole turn he had in the movie because I thought it was believable because he looked like somebody he can play, you know, a good guy or a bad guy. And I totally forgot Carrie Russell was in that. I mean, she's only in this movie for like 10 minutes, but, you know, she left her mark in the movie.

And Maggie Q, I agree with you, where did you go for the rest of the series? Because she is beautiful. She kicks ass. And I just, I had a fucking excellent time on this rewatch. I am right there with you. I did not remember this story at all.

I just completely forgot that Ethan Hunt was, did get married. I knew all the characters. I remembered all that. Billy Cardiff, I totally forgot he was in it. And yeah, his turn, dude, this watch was like I watched this for the first time. Because when we find out what his intentions are, I went.

I mean, for real, I was like, oh, I didn't see that coming at all. But Lawrence Fishburn, he's good in everything. I really love his character and pretty much every film that he's been in, even when he was Cowboy Curtis on Pee Wee's Playhouse. I love him as pops and blackish. He's like my husband and his ex-wife, Dre's mom. They're my favorite characters on that show. But yeah, man, I thought everyone was in it.

Even the Jonathan Ray's Myers, Declan, I mean, I thought he was cool. I mean, for some reason, I thought he was going to, if anyone was going to die in the team, it would have been him. Yeah. Yeah, I forgot Carrie. Russell was in this. I mean, I when Maggie Q's name came across the screen, I was like, whoa, how did I forget her? I mean, I

think what I remember her the most other than that show LaFem Nikita, or I think that's what it's called. I liked that show. I thought it was a cool show. I liked her and everything that she's popped up in. I really liked her and was it the fourth diehard? Live free, diehard, whatever that

ones. I liked her in that. Yeah, yeah. And this one, man, she kicked Das, man. She was, how did they not bring her along? Ving rings, of course. I mean, he's just a fan favorite of the series. So definitely awesome that he came back.

But I don't know why they didn't bring her along. Or even Declan, Jonathan Reyes Myers. Why didn't they bring them along? I mean, Simon Pegg was cool. Of course, he's going to be right there with him. He's JJ Adram's his friend. I thought The only reason to me

I think Carrie Russell was in it Because JJ Abrams was dealing with Felicity And all that So maybe that friendship brought it along But she did her part man I thought she was really good Because in the beginning when Ethan Hunt went in to rescue her

From Devion's crew And I think No it wasn't his crew was someone else wasn't it he didn't come on until later uh because she was out there looking for um what was the thing they were looking for them uh the rabbit's foot yeah the the rabbit's foot and she kind of figured out uh what was going on so that's why she was uh waiting for ethan and them to come in and get her so i mean once they got in there and he uh kind of brought her back

to life with stabbing her in the heart with that uh syringe full of adrenaline uh i'm sure that get anybody on their feet. I thought that was cool because he was like, because I need you to help and then he just stabbed her in the heart. He came back to life and she was ready to rock me and handed her a gun and she knew what she was doing. So I really liked all that. I was at the WonderCon when they brought Mission of Possible 3. It was only JJ Abrams was the only one there. There was no Tom Cruise or anyone else. This is when WonderCon was in San Francisco. So the only stuff they showed was the whole bridge scene. Not the whole bridge scene, but the part when Ethan Hunt blows up.

Oh, and they also showed the scene when Ethan Hunt was holding Deviant out of the top of that, out of the bottom of the airplane when he was going to throw them out. Those were the only two scenes they showed us. And that got me juice. So, I mean, I was super duper excited and ready for it. But, I mean, I thought it was cool. I didn't like the, the, um, Ethan Hunt trying to live a normal life and not do missions, just train everyone.

But I did like that montage when they showed him training Lindsey Ferris, Kerry Russell's character. I liked all that. But, I mean, you knew where it was going to go as soon as Ving Rames was talking to him. Or was it Ving Rhyr? Who was the one that mentioned to Ethan Hunt that, like, guys like you shouldn't be married because... That was Bing Rames. Okay.

Yeah, so when he was telling him that you can't do... do this and try to live a normal life, which was true. I mean, but as soon as he said that, I was, okay, we know where this is going. So, but we kind of, no, that was later on when they were in the airplane when DeVion was lightened up, but Ethan Hunt, which I love that scene. I know we're jumping all over everyone, but that's how we do it. When he was telling him, and he was like, well, what's your name? whoever you are, I'm going to find

girlfriend, your wife, and I'm just going to hurt her. That whole dialogue scene of him just, whatever it takes, I'm going to find her. He did it so quick, too. He found her so fast. I mean, I think this is like the only role that I've seen him in. I mean, I've seen him in a few films, but for Philip Seymour Hoffman, this, it was a different role. he wasn't the

the pretty boy villain with the long hair and the sunglasses he just looked like himself and didn't he didn't need to be all buff and tough and everything

he was just his dialogue and his his whole appearance on how he took this role has made you believe that this guy's no joke and you better not fuck with him because he was badass and he had the crew to back him up because once

when he got captured I mean it's like I don't even think 24 hours went by yet and he was already free so I love that whole bridge scene I thought that was cool is this is this one we start seeing that famous Tom Cruise run

is in part three I think so because he ran a little bit in the second one and well I guess he ran a little bit in the first two as well I like he does now oh yeah no he's the deal with

is all running in this one and in the next one. So, but that was cool. I loved that whole bridge scene with the drone flying and shooting missiles at them, and then that helicopter coming up in the big gunfight. I would have hate to have been one of the just civilians on that bridge when this was happening because there's huge holes and bullets and missiles are flying everywhere. And I was like, wow, that was a lot.

And I had to watch the making of this. And that they built that whole bridge. And just CGI'd the water. They were out in some desert somewhere where they built it. I mean, I thought that was cool. And that whole scene when Ethan was running before the truck blew up and when he gets blasted and flies against the car. They did do some CGI with that. But that stunt that he did, I mean, this is when he was like, well, he was like, well, with this stunt, it's going to be, it has to be me.

I think this was the beginning of him doing the, like, every stunt. I mean, he did some stunts and the second one. But in this one, he was telling him, goes, we can't throw in a double because it'll clearly see that it's not me. So I can do it. So that whole scene when he's running at the camera before it blows up, there was an explosion, but then they CGI'd in the rest. But he had a harness pulled to him.

So when the blast hit him, they pulled him and he just slammed against that car. And they, during that scene, they kind of like, as soon as the camera started rolling, they ran over. You're all right, you're all right. He was not good. All of that. I mean, it was cool, man. I really love it. It did look a little sloppy, CGI-wise, CGI-I-wise, but it was a good stunt.

I mean, and I liked it. And that whole shoot-em-up scene. I love guns and everything, but I couldn't tell you what kind of guns these guys had. they were just grabbing guns off the ground and just firing in in the air and everything. But that whole rescue scene when DeVion's crew came in, I thought that was awesome. But he was nothing but an arms dealer. I mean, that's what was all he was.

And once he got captured, and that was with his mission to find Ethan Hunt's, his wife, and torture him and torture Ethan Hunt. So I thought that was going to mean. The story wasn't that complicated. It was just more of a revenge thing because we really don't know what the rabbit foot was because they didn't explain it, did they? No, and I kind of like that.

It was a nice little, I like all the espionage stuff, but it was a nice little break from the spy stuff. And, yeah, they've never. Lawrence Fishburn was going to tell him at the end if he agreed to come back, but he didn't agree to come back. So, no, they never said what the rabbit's foot was or did or anything. What was the big stunt? Was it just the battle on the bridge? I don't remember afterwards.

I would say the battle on the bridge. For me, remembering that was probably the biggest stunt. just just the explosions the gun fight um the the way they broke him out because they sprayed that that foam stuff on the side of the van and then it almost like froze it and then it just like tapped at it and it broke just just just just completely action-packed for that whole scene yeah because um i mean the whole beginning scene was awesome i mean not not the very very beginning because that was kind of a flashback before we got into the regular timeline of the story. But I mean, I loved them going in there and getting Carrie Russell.

And because like I said, once she got a gun in her hand, she was letting fools have it. And that stunt as well when they both grabbed her and they went diving out of the window and landed on top of that van. They had them tied up. They weren't the ones that hit the van. It was Tom Cruise and Carrie Russell that did some of that stunt work. So I thought that was good because she was scared. She was like, I never did my own stunt. So I don't know what to expect. So hopefully I don't get hurt.

But she did her job, man. So I really liked it. I never really cared for Felicity or whatever the other shows she had. But once she started being in big films, I met her once at Comic Con. She was staying in our hotel and she was in the elevator. And she was really cool. Talk to her with just a second. I remember what she was there for whatever one of those Planet of the Apes movies she was in.

I think it was the second one. He was the second one third one. Well, she was there for that. I liked her. I wished she would have went a little further in the story, but I mean, she did serve her purpose in it. I mean, that was pretty ruthless because they implanted a little explosive capsule in her head. and they really couldn't didn't know there was in there

until it was too late but that whole scene was awesome because once she like started to feel it and she was screaming they didn't know what was happening and then they tried to they x-rayed her head real quick and saw that there was something in there

but then it just just like it blew up and like snapped her neck or no yeah it blew out her eyeball or something yeah because I like to build up to it because they were going to try to use that defibrillator

to shock to short short it out and it was just like seconds from it charging and then it just you just seen her head just kind of do a little little pop motion and her yeah her eye was fucked up but it me it was cool i wish she would have been in it a little bit longer but i think uh she would uh took over and uh put maggie kew in the back but she was awesome uh i don't i i don't i i don't i i don't just don't know why they didn't continue with her. Oh, there was a big action scene, another one, the building one, where he slingshoted himself from one building to the next.

Oh, that's right, because they had to go in there and get the, um, thinking the rabbit's foot. Yeah, I was thinking it goes protocol and all. Yeah, it, that one made me uncomfortable, just being up that high and just how he's swinging from one building to the next. and he doesn't quite landed like how he wants and then he's just sliding down the side of the building and it just kind of gets your adrenaline going

to see what happens and Tom Cruise is he's a fucking crazy person I watched the making of that scene and it was all green screen oh really he wasn't on top of the building not like in the next movie

no I was like I thought, I mean, because I was like, man, they did a good job if he was standing up there. Because I wouldn't, I'm not the one. But, yeah, it was, it was they built the part of the building. And it was all green screen of him swinging around and everything. Even so, it's still, I mean, it served its purpose. I did get dizzy. I remember getting dizzy when I saw this in the theater, but then watching it at home.

I just, I felt dizzy. I'll be more dizzy in the next one when we talked to. But, I mean, I thought that scene was cool because they were like, there's no way we can get in there. And then that's when I loved how he just got that marker and started writing on the window drawing what he was going to do. And yeah, we could do it. I mean, you got to be quick on your feet.

I think the other scene that I really loved is they were saying that, oh, yeah. Ethan Hunt was being a bad guy because they IMF people they they captured them

and then they had them all tied up in that scene when um Dr. Manhattan? Yeah him when he came in and he was talking to Ethan and telling him one thing

but then he started like just mouthing what he said like go to Shanghai and there's going to be this and that. I thought that was sweet. That's how awesome Ethan Hunt is. He was able to lip read. And I thought that was cool

because that was a cool little escape on what he did, handing him. What did he hand him? He, uh, it was like a little knife. And, um, I like, I like the, it was a callback though because, uh, in the earlier scene at the little engagement

party, he's, he's, he's, breeding lips of his, uh, wife and, um, her friends talking. and I just liked that they ended up using that in a movie. But yeah, he handed him a little like a little pocket knife, a little blade or something.

And he had cut himself loose and was able to use it to escape. This was after the bridge scene because we're jumping all over the place. Because the reason why that he got taken is because they thought he was a part of the Devion's escape. But when they captured him, all that was neat. Because I love when they bring in the masks and everything that they do. Because they made a mask of Davion, and then he put it on him. I love that scene when they went and grabbed him in the bathroom. And then Ethan had the mask on, but his little voice thing that he had on his neck wasn't quite ready yet.

And he was just trying to, that guy, the guard that came in, his body. body guy, are you all right? Are you? What's going on? And he was just pointing his finger like, hold on a minute until they said, all right, you could talk now. And then he started talking. So I thought all that was cool.

And I like the attention to detail, too, because he's, they're like dragging him off, Phillips, you know, off his character. And I'm like, but he's got wine all over his shirt. And then Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt, he pulls out that little spray bottle and just sprays his shirt down. And I'm just like, I just, I'd really like. little details and stuff like that. And that was one thing.

I was like, he, luckily he had that exact same color. Just pull out, squirt it all over himself. Ethan Hunt's the best. Yeah, man, I didn't make this film. But, I mean, it was cool. And the other thing that was brutal after they captured him, and they had that big battle on the bridge. And then they ended up when Ethan Hunt was captured.

and then he escaped and then Davion's crew captured Ethan Hunt Well, no, they told him that he had kidnapped or they kidnapped

Ethan's wife so he went in there and he was trying to help or he was trying to get him. Did they, how'd they drug him and knock him out? I don't remember. I don't remember exactly.

When he woke up, he was tired of to a chair and his wife was sitting on the other chair. And at the very, very beginning of the film was when Debian was screaming at Ethan Hunt and they were going back and forth. Like, if you don't tell me where

the rabbit's foot is, I'm going to kill her. Giving you 10 seconds. And then that was what we saw in the beginning. And then flash forward to the scene where he was like, again, 10 seconds, or I'm going to kill her. And I was, I mean, that was an intense scene for not even remembering.

any of this film like said it was like it was like my first time watch i mean that i was like at the edge of my seat like oh my god is he gonna kill her and then once he hit tan and blasted her i was like oh man but then i think once that happened it started to come back to me because i was thinking she's in the next few movies so and then i was like all right i couldn't remember so uh even was like devastated the look in his eyes and like he was like so shocked and wanted to cry but couldn't and then when they were when they were walking away um i think it was a musgrave told him so that's when he came walking in the room and uh told him his intentions on on what he was doing and he was the mole or whatever

because they uh carry russell lindsay ferris she had sent ethan a postcard uh with a um little the dot file or something that was behind the stuff that was behind the stuff stamp and Benji had to decrypt it and they found out that they showed a Lawrence Fishfront's character that he, his phone was last used talking to Devion and all that. So she was kind of thinking that he was a part of this, but then we find out that it was actually Musgrave that was the one that was the dirty guy. So because when he, after he explained what, what his involvement was to Ethan Hunt is when he walked past that girl and pulled.

his wife and pulled off the duct tape and it just ripped off. It was like a mask. It was actually Devion's like assistant. Yeah, that was fucked up just because of the whole

thing that happened when he got kidnapped he essentially blamed her for it. Yeah, I mean it didn't. I mean, that's how ruthless he was. I mean, you mess up, you're dead. So that was, but that was cool thinking.

to try to get Ethan the crack. So when he figured out, okay, my wife is still alive, but now I just got to figure out where she's at, and that's when they take us to... Was it Shanghai? Is that where they were? Yeah. Yeah. And then all that. Then the running began, and...

I don't even remember the end. I got there. Yeah, a little part we kind of left out, they kind of injected him with one of those little mini detonators up his nose. So he He does his little running We get to Tom Cruise

Famous Run style He gets to where his wife's at He Another part we left out They had a secretly married too So They threw that in there I guess to just kind of add up the drama

He rescues her But that's when the effects Of having the explosive in his head Kind of kick in like they did With Carrie Russell And this scene was fucking crazy. The part where she

electrocuted him. And it was just crazy the fact because he had those sticks in his mouth and the way he chomped down and just broke those sticks was crazy. Because he had to do that to fry that little thing in his head. I was the only reason. I didn't think it was going to kill him.

That was crazy, man. I mean, that's how quick he is to thinking. Look, I know you can luckily she was a doctor. I know you can bring me back to life. do it and and I love this scene but I didn't buy it I mean before he actually electrocuted himself he all right this is that I don't know what kind of gun it was I want to say it was a barretta or something go this is how you do this is how you release a clip this is how you load it and just whoever comes in just starts shooting and she was like

it didn't even look like she was paying attention but then once he shocked himself and ended up dying that's when the bad guys came in and she just picked up the gun and started shooting like she's been shooting her whole life. Yeah, I will have to say, you know, she, I'm not a big Michelle Monaghan fan, but in this movie, she's a keeper because she saved his life and took out two people and Musgrave by herself with no training. She, she, Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt, she is definitely a keeper. Yeah, man, because he told her how to use that gun in seconds and she killed all those people

and reloaded the gun. Because as soon as it was done, she just popped the clip, slammed in another one, and kept her on rocking. So, yeah, at least she paid attention. I guess you got to pay attention if you're a doctor. So after she did all there, and then she brought him back to life and everything.

So I thought that was cool. Of course he was going to come back to life. It wasn't going to be the end of the thing, because I don't even know she would have got out after she used all those bullets and everything. But, I mean, that was good thinking to, try to stop. Because when they were in that, wherever they were,

I thought, you saw a lot of medical stuff in there? So I was thinking he was going to grab one of those, one of those little hard things to defibrators? Yeah, he tried to find one, but he said they didn't have one. I thought he was going to grab one and like just shock his head to blow it up. But I guess he did the next best thing. There must have been a lot of juice in those wires in order for him to kill himself. But it was quick thinking, and he just, he didn't have time to think about it either.

He goes, this is what I'm doing, and I'm going to do it, and he did it. They fried that little thing in his head. I wonder if they got it out afterwards. I would think they have to. And then right after this, we get a, do we get the showdown with him? No, or did we skip that part, the showdown with him and the day beyond? And they had their big fight. It was right after she brought him back to life, wasn't it?

Oh, no. No, we did. It was before all that. That was a cool fight scene. I mean, you can clearly see it was both of them at times, and then you can see it was stunt guys. But I liked a fight scene, but I didn't like the death of Davion. I mean, other than they didn't show it.

I mean, it was, it seemed too quick and easy. Yeah, I agree with you. It was, the fight was short and then his death was just, it just all, it just happened all of a sudden. And it was just over. And I really don't like those kinds of, especially with the main bad guy. It made me think, have you seen, I don't know which expendable movie, the one with Mel Gibson? That was the third one. how they led up to this final showdown and then it was like over in like a couple minutes

i really hate that shit they did that in the second one with van dam i was juice and ready for some spin kick galores and splits and but it wasn't as quick as mel gibson though no but i mean maybe mill gibson don't get him a slide that would have been an equal fight but van damn and no he would have just quickly just kicked him in the head and not have been it i wanted more in that fight but we didn't it the same thing with mel yeah i mean either they're just running out of time or running out of money i mean because it just seemed like this one the fight was just boom boom boom boom all right we're outside now trying to get away then yeah boom boom by car yeah it was a little unbelievable that he was able to just lay flat on the ground and not be

hit by the car or hit by the truck or anything yeah i mean after all the stuff that davion went through to from getting hang out of the side of an airplane or the bottom of an airplane uh surviving a missile attack and and machine gun war to just get hit by car it just happened to be driving down the road but i didn't really care for the ending i mean it was just like the last one once the whole thing was over and the day was saved. They're like, all right, now let's go on a honeymoon. I didn't buy that one scene either. How she's just in this, what is it, IMF headquarters?

And she's just laughing with everybody. And then she just gets to go, you're not supposed to know all that stuff. You just walk out laughing and everything's a fun day. And it just, I don't know, I didn't, I didn't buy all that. there should have been some sort of debriefing or you can't say this or this is your new identity or something because he told her he told her right after they walked out and after they killed everyone and they were just walking down the road like it was nothing all right this is what i do i go around the world and do impossible missions and all this and she would just like okay and the next scene is when they're in

IMF. I was like, no. Yeah, I mean, who knows how much time it was there? Maybe they did be there. H told her everything. Yeah, so I was like, I don't know. I'm not buying any of this. And then the movie they, yeah, what would have made this movie is as they were walking down the hall, they did turn around and then the screen the froze, like the old school. 80s movies when yeah then they froze and then the credits start rolling

I would have been okay with it but yeah I didn't like how Ving Rames was so fucking happy for him after he spent that whole time telling him not to get married I did like that scene when he was talking he asked him if he was banging

uh was a Carrie Russell's character Lindsay Ferris he straight up asked him did you? He's like no but yeah the very end of that. The whole movie is unbelievable, but that was the most unbelievable

as part in the whole film was the end of them just, oh, it's okay. Now you know about this little secret force and you're okay with it. Now you can go home. I was like, no, but then that was the end of the film.

But I love the explanation for her in the next film, which was awesome. Mm-hmm. When did this one? 2006. And then 2011,

we get Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. Bomb blew up the Kremlin. Your team has been disavowed. It was a setup. Everyone connected with this man is an asset. We come back with our target, but we don't come back.

How do you propose that we do that? We take a lap. I would take special skills. I don't seduce. I just... Cool. It's not as if any mission's going to be rougher than the last one. Is it?

You're at PT-13. In theaters and IMAX December 21st. This one was bad ass. I mean, I loved... I loved the first one. Second one, trash. Third one, good. More of just a happy story.

Love, triangle, love story. But this one was bad. I loved it. The stunts. The whole building stunt was awesome. Bringing in Jeremy Renner was awesome touch, as well as

the guy that replaced Bonsfishman. Oh, shit. He was in Beetlejuice. He was a getaway. Alec Baldwin. Alex Baldwin, yeah.

Yeah, him. Bringing him in. Alec Baldwin was a badass. He can be a good, funny guy, and he can do comedy, and then he could just the total ball buster that he was. He was running

the CIA, was it? Yeah. Simon Pegg comes back, which is awesome. His character, Benji, because Simon Pegg was more of just a tech guy that stayed in the office. This time, he upgraded himself into a field agent, so that was

definitely awesome to see him joined the gang. We're also introduced to Paula Patton's character, Jane. I was sitting watching this where have I seen her and I had to go look back and see her okay okay I've seen her in these other films uh yeah she's good to look at I thought she was hot and everything but she is no Maggie Q I didn't buy it any of it from her because she was a field agent

maybe she was brand new because she acted like she really couldn't do anything in this I mean, she did do her job. I ended up lacking her character by the end of the film, but I don't know. I just wasn't buying it. I mean, Maggie Q, you just look at her. And if you never did see anything else that she was in, because she's done a lot of action stuff, she was just badass completely. Yeah.

And in three, Maggie Q, she just, you've seen the confidence in her. And Paula Patton at time, even the, you know, not trying to jump into it, that whole opening scene, her getting Tom Crumes out of the prison. She just kind of seemed like her character didn't know what the mission was. Yeah, this, uh, yeah, I wasn't buying her. Um, this one, the IMF is shut down when it is implicated in a bombing of the Kremlin, causing Ethan Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization's name. This is directed by Brad Bird, uh, written by, uh,

Bruce Geller and Josh Applebaum. There's another credit, but I can go into it. I thought, as far as directing-wise, Brad Bird, I thought he did an amazing job with this one. I mean, he knew how to film a film, because he did do other things. Well, he did the, I'm looking at his IMDB. He did a lot of writing for Disney, Intouchables,

Not in Touchables. Incredibles, Ratatouille, the Iron Giant, and stuff like that. This was his first live action directorial movie. Yeah.

I mean, because that's all he's done. He's got something called 1906 coming. Because he went back to, well, he did Tomorrowland, which. Yeah.

But as far as an action film, I mean, yes, Incredibles was action too, but that was just animated. But it was amazing, the first one. But,

his first time sitting in the chair for something, a big project like this that took you to other parts of the world and to do just outrageous and the most dangerous stunts in this one. And it was just amazing. I wish he would do more. But I'm sure he's more suited for the animation stuff he has done. But I mean, if he does more action films and everything,

later on his career, that's awesome. The thing that pissed me off about this whole movie is the beginning. Josh Holloway and his Hannaway. I love Josh Holloway. He was bad ass as Sawyer and Lost. And when he popped up on the, this was like watching it for the first time because I didn't even remember he was in this. We didn't even mention Jesse in the third,

in the third film. It wasn't he? Whose brother was he? Remember when they had the little house party? Oh, Jesse Pee. Michelle Monaghan's brother. Yeah, he was even in it. He looked all cracked out and everything.

Super young looking. So, I mean, but yeah, so it was cool to see him pop up into this one. But I wish he would have went more. Maybe he would have joined the team and I thought he would have been a good addition to the team because I was like, what? Because he ended up, what did he take? He took the codes, the launch codes. Yeah, nuclear launch codes. He took those from the guy that he was getting him from.

And then when he was running away, which I thought was awesome, that that whole little action scene of him running away and running on the roofs. and then almost thinking he was getting away. And then this one chick, Sabine Monroe, she comes out and blasts him. I'm not even going to try with her name, the real name. Are you a fan of Josh Holloway? I don't know who he is. I never watch Lost. What?

Yeah, I was going to. And then when I was going to get into it is when that whole thing happened with the final episode and people were kind of kind of down on it and somebody told me don't even waste your time and it was awesome in the beginning and then it just

kind of slowly the show went downhill and I didn't really care for the ending but he was an awesome character I was all about him on the show it was tight when he came when he was in that one Arnold movie sabotage. I was psyched. He was in that, but

like this, he didn't last very long. So, but I know he's on some TV show now. I don't know what it is. I want to say it's something sci-fi, but I haven't... Colony. Yeah, I haven't sat down and watched any of that. But I wish he would have been more in this in this film, but he got dusted really quick in the beginning. Because after that, Oh, this is when we go to the prison, right?

Mm-hmm. We get the prison break from Simon Pegg's character, Benji, Paula Patton, and was there another guy? Or was it just those two? It was those two. And then the other dude that,

he was trying to... Yeah, he busted out. I don't even remember why he grabbed that guy. Um, he was the one getting him information while he was in prison. So he felt like if he would have left him there, he would have ended up getting killed. Okay. So, I mean, that scene was cool. I liked it, howl.

Because at this point, we don't know why Ethan Hunting in this, where were they, Siberia? Uh, let me check up a quick. Moscow. Okay, yeah. Somewhere over there. but yeah we didn't know why he was there because when we see him the first time he just kicked back in his cell and not even worried about it while everyone else is hoot and hollering and screaming but that's when the doors start opening and all the inmates come out and then the riot

breaks out so but at this point i'm still like why what's happening why why is he there and then who's this dude that he did he's grabbing because he goes once the uh the everyone's doors opened up and all the prisoners come out this is when the prison riot starts and he's just trying to get through it all but Benji has him has the whole he breaks into the security systems and he's like telling him which way to go and everything but Tom Cruise or Ethan Hunt

kind of stops and then turns around and goes back into all the chaos and like where's he going what's he doing he ends up grabbing that one dude I don't even remember his name bog done Okay, yeah, all right. They grabs him and then they go running out. And all this time, you see Benji and you see Jane, Paula Patton, the character, trying to help break Ethan out.

And yeah, during all that, she was, like, was this her first mission and didn't really know how it was going to go or what to do? Because it seemed like Benji was the brains of this operation. Yeah, it's kind of like she did. didn't even know who Ethan Hunt was for a second. Yeah, I was like, okay, whatever. But, I mean, I thought it was cool. I did like that whole beginning to see. It was pretty intense on what was going on.

Because then once they get out and they get into the little sewer systems where they're running is when the movie starts. We get the Mission of Possible theme and all that. I always loved the beginnings of these films, how they do it. But my only problem was I can't sure if I said it on the first episode when we're doing this is if you really look at it, they show the whole movie. Just quick images of. Oh, yeah, yeah. Because I was like, they even show you the ending.

Because I know I did notice that in the first mission of possible. They showed the whole movie in it. But quick, just quick little scenes. You can't put it together or anything. but um once he got out is this when they when um uh alec baldwin's character shut down uh i mf or no no no they tell um basically he gets the mission you know we you know you got we got to do the thing every mission impossible you if you choose the accepted the mission and all that and he has to go to the kremlin to steal something

thing and that's where they go and we get another Tom Cruise and a mask thing and you know Benji's there to add some comedy relief because one of the things he's always wanted to do is wear a mask on a mission and he doesn't get to wear one and we get some more cool gadgets with the screen thing that they're using to fool the guard so they don't see them down the hallway. I think we jumped ahead with Alec Baldwin. I don't think he's in this one. It's the next one.

Yeah, we get, I forgot the actor's name. We get Tom Wilkinson. He was the IMF security agent. Yes, yes. I'm about to say somebody was yelling at us right there. Yeah, because I'm going, I'm scrolling down all the castes. I'm like, Alex Baldwin. See, I'm jumping ahead

everyone because I started the next film and he was in that one. because I think that's when because I picture him and Jeremy Renner together in a scene but we'll talk about that next episode so yeah Alex Baldwin isn't in this one but yeah that's the they blow up the Kremlin no Tom Cruise was there as before

when he gets the mission is when is this when we get introduced to Cobalt who kind of comes in and in the middle of them doing the mission the alarm goes off and they can tell somebody's on the radio kind of given misinformation on what's going on and basically they find out somebody's tapped into their frequency and as they're trying to escape, he passes somebody and ends up being Colbult. He's there.

He's taking the information and he's the one that blows up the Kremlin, which the explosion leads to another Tom Cruise running scene, which blast him completely off the screen. So when they went in there, I'm getting all these missions confused everyone. So when they went, or they were going there to get the launch codes, right? I believe so.

Okay. That's when that other dude, I believe, was it Hendricks? Was he the one that grabbed it? Yes. Oh, yeah, because Hendricks was the basically a terrorist because he wanted to start a nuclear war between America and Russia. So that was the reason that he, okay, I now remember.

Yeah, Hendricks is played by Michael Nivquist, if I said his name right, the bad guy from John Wick won. That was him? Yeah. From the first one? Yeah, Vladimir or whatever his name was. that was telling the Baba Yega's story or? Yeah, and every time his son

would fuck up, he'd be like, you just, you know, it was John Wick and everybody would always be like, oh, I didn't know. We got to do those. Yeah. That might be a long episode, just do all three at once.

Yeah. I don't even know what four is coming. So. Not to get off track. Four was supposed to come out next year, but they pushed it to 20. 22 but good news is they are filming four and five back to back so did they even start or no I think they started and it got shut down because next year the 20 2021 uh John Wick 4 and

the Matrix 4 was supposed to come out on the same day but they pushed John Wick 4 to 22 I thought John Wick and Bill and Ted were supposed to be oh no no no okay I'm never mind I'm getting it confused but I am excited for those so a lot of a lot of Keanu going on but uh yeah yeah so Hendrix is is the main uh bad guy in this and then all that stuff that you said when they when they crossed uh radio frequencies and everything and their the misinformation was going everywhere is when they blow up the kremlin and yeah that's because at that point that's when they're like hey man we got to abort this mission we got to get out of here because that's when he goes running out out of the building.

I love that he had his little Russian gear on. Oh, the reversible jacket. Yeah, that was sweet. Because then once he goes running out and the Kremlin balls up, I mean, that was major. I mean, hopefully sometime in my lifetime I get over there to see it in person. I'm always fascinated with stuff like that. But I love how they just blow real things up in these films. it wasn't real, but I mean, how they blow up

things like that in films and course that's going to start some kind of war with America because of course they find out it was the Americans that came in there and did all this. Because then

who was the dude that was chasing him? There was another guy. I think he is a cop or something because he's chasing him through the whole movie. He's the one that's that he did it. And he knows that he's American

because he ends up when Ethan's in the hospital, he finds his jacket and he's basically telling him I know you were there because he flips the jacket inside out and it's the Russian military code underneath.

I think he was the Vladimir Mashkov, whatever. They drove. Did I say that name? I will go with that. There was a lot of people in this, especially the guys with the Russian names. Those are always hard to understand.

I think he was the special agent guy that was running around chasing. Because one of Hendricks henchmen was that Whistram guy. He was the blonde-looking one. That was when they went to, was it Dubai? where they ended up going because then they were supposed to get the the codes from him and he was going to trade the

the girl had the code Sabine Monroe she had him yeah she was supposed to meet uh Hendrix's boy Wistram in Dubai and that I don't even remember the name of that building that's but like the tallest building in the world they were supposed to meet up in Switzerland

something Califa barge Khalifa or something like that. Sounds right. But after the whole criminal thing, well,

I'm getting lost. I'm jumping ahead to the... Okay. He escapes the hospital. And this is where he calls in to get picked up. He gets picked up by the, um,

the guy running, uh, IMF. And, uh, this is where we get introduced to, uh, Jeremy Renner.

And, um, he's basically telling him what's going down. And, and, and giving him the lowdown of what he needs to do. And then that's when there's an attack on the SUV that they're in. And the head of the IMF, he gets killed.

And him and Jeremy Renner go on the run. And then they meet up with Benji and Paula Patton's character in that train car that is a hideout because they got it. There was a lot more comedy in this one because they had that whole thing where they were trying to put the code and they were trying not to run into the thing at the same time. I'm just trying to remember the thing. Because after, I mean, when the head guy got assassinated and they go crashing into the water, I mean, I just, I don't ever want to know that feeling being underwater in a car. Yeah.

Yeah, and that's where some of the comedy comes in because Tom Cruise uses the body of the guy that got killed. he puts a flare on him and they start shooting the body and then him and Jeremy Runner had that back and forth conversation about how did you know they were going to go after that and not us and now that I'm remembering they put a lot more comedy into this one

yeah I mean there was a lot of back and forth and being Simon Pegg I mean he was funny in the last film but in this one since he was out in the field agent there was a lot more Maybe he was only supposed to be in that one film, but they loved his part and wrote more for him to be. Because, yeah,

everything he said was hilarious. And even the stuff they did, even when it was like super intense, they had to throw in that little bit of a Simon Pig comedy. So, even though it's not directed, JJ Abrams is still a producer on these movies. So he produced all the last,

what, four? Yeah, I think it's his company. company. Bad robot? Yeah, one of those. I think he has a couple.

Because once they all kind of meet up again in that car and they really have to figure out what they're doing and where everything is going to go. Jeremy Renner's his character, he was the IMF security. He was more of a field analyst. is that what he was? Yeah, that's what you think he is now, a field analyst. Because that's what he told him, because he was like, oh, because he was like, oh, he's just, because he was like, well, who's this dude? Yeah, he's just, uh, an analyst. Oh, okay, whatever.

So I didn't really think anything of it. But it kind of comes out later after they see the kind of training he has, and they're just like, there's no way you're just an analyst. Because once, uh, they, we find out that later after the whole Dubai. thing or they find out in Dubai on his who he really is but uh when they find out that okay well we need to go Dubai because that's where they're going to do the uh the handoff with the codes and uh Sabine's character um I don't know I would love to see that building but I kind of have no reason to go to Dubai um other than I don't want to get no sandstorms and I'm sure it's like a million degrees year around that's probably what's keeping me away

I can't handle the heat everyone. It's hot in Las Vegas and I can't handle that. But it was weird though. I mean, I did like that because they go driving up to Dubai. It's like you're in the desert. The next thing you know, there's this big huge building in a whole city. And it was a hotel. I mean, I had to watch all the makings of this because I had to see.

Because I did think he was swinging. around outside when they were in the last film when he was on the building on the and were they Japan is that where they were or China Shanghai China yeah when he was swinging around up there so I was kind of thinking they're gonna do me dirty in this because I remember seeing and stuff saying that yeah he was really on the outside of this building swinging around so I had to watch the making of this one and that was all Tom that was all 100% crews swinging around on that building. I thought they were going to shoot it like lower, lower levels and just make it

like it was way up. No, they were way up there. They were like on a hundred and thirty-something floor. Hell no. I guess they were saying that they were still building that building, so there was a lot of empty floors. And they gave them the go-ahead to, yeah, do what you guys want, just whatever you break or whatever you can have to replace and fix. Because they did. say that, well, they said, well, we need to take some of these windows out. And they're like, well, you can't just take these out and put them back in. That's what they were telling them. But then they were like, well, you guys put them in.

We'll just, we want to take them out. We'll put new ones in when we're done. And they're like, all right. So they showed these guys on one of those window cleaning rigs. And they were just breaking the window and just broke all those windows. They said they broke like 20 something windows out to film this, to get cameras out there, to get Tom and everybody swinging around out there because there was Tom Cruise was out there. There was a helicopter flying around getting the shots. There was this big rig thing because he was all rigged up with wires.

He wasn't just holding on to that one rope that we see him swinging around on. So they just had the glass falling down after they broke it? Most of it came in, but I'm sure some fell, 100. something stories. Makes me uneasy thinking about it. Maybe they went down and said, hey, you guys all need to get away because glass is going to fall. I'm sure they did that.

But when those guys were breaking those windows out, they were just pushing it with hammers and getting it out. And you, of course, shards had to have been falling to the ground. I'm sure those were like little bullets coming down from that. Yeah. But that whole scene, because when they get into the building and they said, oh, okay, this is what we're going to do. We're basically going to switch rooms and make them think that they're on this floor

when they're really on this next floor. I loved all that whole thing how they did. But then when they were trying to get Tom, get Ethan Hunt into the server room, what was he supposed to go in there and do just to get for them to able to get into their system? Is that why he had to go into that server room? yeah okay and the only way they go well how are we gonna get in there and he goes well we can't

get through the front door or all these other ones because of all the security is that the only way we can get in is if we through the outside he goes if we come through the outside I loved how either goes we and he goes well you that's what I loved about Simon Pei

it was always something some comedy that came out of his character but luckily they have all these tools, these glass cutters to just cut the windows and then pull them out. I wanted to see what if they put them back in when they were done because they didn't break them. They just cut them with those lasers and pulled them out.

I don't know. It's a movie. I'm sure they didn't show it. But once he was out, out there, I knew what was happening because I remember this scene clearly, but. I was still on the edge of my seat and holding on to the arms of my chair. I just do not like heights. And I got dizzy. I mean,

shout out to the guys that filmed this. It was shot in IMAX because I remember when I saw in the theater the first time in IMAX. I was dizzy. My fingers were digging into the armrests. Ethan or Tom Cruise is just that badass to where heights don't bother him. Because if he was able to just go. out there and do what you do. Yeah, he was tied up with a lot of cables

and everything, but even still, I mean, luckily nothing happened, but accidents do happen. So, I was just, I was just nervous for Ethan Hunt that whole time. Of course he's going to make it because he continues on with two more

movies, but that whole scene was intense. What did you think about him flipping and flying around outside that building? It was crazy. I also seen this in the theater. and just knowing that he does his own stunts and he's like hanging outside of this giant building on the glass and then you get the added part of the one of the gloves stops working and it's complete craziness and even with the with the whole scene was just making me nervous because i i'm i'm

not going to say i'm not good with heights but just seeing stuff like this on the screen the whole scene where Jeremy Renner is holding him upside down out the building is, you know, it kind of makes me crazy watching it. Yeah,

because that was even crazy because, I mean, before we get to that scene when he's climbing around, climbing up, because they said, oh,

you got to go up 11 more stories and seven or eight rooms over. Like, and he only had like 20 minutes or something like that because he was, they were telling him

that there was like 25 minutes before the door knock. And I love that. That comedy was funny. But for him to be that fast, and it seemed like he just went like a couple, maybe a story or two up before the glove went out. Because then he just hucked it and threw it and had to use one.

Yeah, it's the beginning of a common theme throughout the movie is Benji's gadgets don't necessarily work how they're supposed to. I mean, even, I mean, that was scary enough. I don't even know. I definitely, I wouldn't have climbed that on the side of that building. But the part that I was really nervous about is once he got to the server room, how he just leaned his shoulder up against, I assume, the frame of the window in the building, and then pushed his other, his foot and was holding himself there.

Either his shirt was super grippy. And then because he was using both hands to cut the glass. I was like, hell no. I mean, because he did fall at one point. And then he crawled up some and then he fell. And then he had to go back and climb back up. But once he got up there and this even made me cringe. Once he cut the hole in the glass and then had to basically do a swing his body back

why still holding on and then bring his feet forward to kick into the glass. I don't know. I would have just, I would have died or I wouldn't even attempted to try to finish his mission. But, I mean, it was cool. Once he got up there, he did what he did and got out. And then I said, all right, man, you got a minute to get back down here and how he, he didn't realize how he was going to get down there.

Luckily, what was that thing he threw out the window? What was it? That sure was it. Was it a hose? Was it a hose? Fire hose? It might have been. I don't know.

Because I just remember him looking at next to you know, it goes crashing out the window and he comes running down the side of the building, which I want to say that they call that like the Australian something. I don't know. I did some repelling once in my younger slimmer years when I was in high school. We went to this army base and we got to repel off this huge tower. and that was scary enough. But one guy did it, like how Tom Cruise did it.

You like ran down it, went forward, face first, and ran down the side of it. They called it Australian something. But anyway, that's what he did here, just ran face first and just ran down the side of that building. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, that was him that did it. After all, when the movie was over, I went back and I was watching the making of that. with him being all rigged up and everything, they wanted him to get used to being out there. To not just be the only time you're out there is when they're filming.

I guess days before when he was training, it was him and another stunt guy that does all that out there with him. Because they were considering using a stunt guy, but then Tom was like, dude, the same thing again. He goes, they're going to notice that it's not me. So I need to do this. so that's when he geared up and they put him out there

the whole the build up for them to get all this all of how they angled the cameras hanging out the side of the building all the people that were on that floor where Tom goes out once he goes on to the side of the building they were all

harnessed up as well because these windows are gone and everyone has to look out there to make sure he's all right and we're going to get this shot they drew a red line on the ground, painted it on the ground, said, if you go past this red line, you have to have a harness.

There was these little rigs that they had. They had to wear these harnesses and these cables hooked up to them if they were going to go close to the window. I don't even think I would have done that. I would have stood way against the wall. I'll hold the extension cords from back here because no way I would walk up to that window being 100 floors up in the air.

because Tom he had made a joke he was like yeah well if I would have fell and got out I had plenty time to call someone

yeah just letting you know I'm falling off this building because however high they were where they were filming this scene they said it was higher

than the Empire State building and that's high I've been up on the top of that building and I'm like higher than that and I don't even know how many stories that building is

was high enough and scared the hell out of me. That whole stuff he did just to film that few minutes of him out on the outside. That was the big stunt of the whole production. It was amazing. I mean, you got to give it up to

Tom Cruise for doing that other than being one of the executive producers to be that guy to want to do all this type of stuff. And they were really, like, they were shocked at the people to own that building yeah do what you want and just let them tear their building a bar basically and then put it back together

but i'm surprised that this the studio even signed off for him to do that crazy stunt yeah i don't know man that that was that was all intense once he gets back in the building i don't remember where it went from there uh they are going to do the exchange but paula patten is going to pose as the girl with the codes and Ben, not Benji, Jeremy Renner and Tom Cruise are posing as the ones that want to buy the codes. They got this going on in two separate rooms because the blonde chick from the beginning that killed the one guy who originally had him.

She has the code, so she's meeting with Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner in one room. At the same time, the guy, the real guy. guys that are trying to buy the codes are meeting Paula Patton and they got that whole back and for them and then we get the whole thing where another gadget doesn't work because the machine that makes the mask stops working well that's right I mean all that because when once they got all that got back into the building is when they realized that everything wasn't working because that was when the scene when benjy went out was changing all of the door numbers with whatever gadget he

had to make perfect imprints of the room numbers and everything. It's a movie, everyone, of course, but I do love all these little gadgets they make up. Going back to the outdoor scene on the side of the building, when Tom Cruise had to rush it, run down, but then his his little tether that he, a little hose or whatever that he was hanging on to, rent wasn't long enough. So he swings from one side of the building to the other. And it would basically runs and then does like a flip and then it's supposed to cut himself loose and then jump into that window that's open but he ends up clipping the top and almost and flips out but uh jeremy rennickin is branded he dives out grabs ethan by the leg and jane paul

of patten's character grabs uh brandid's leg she must have been super strong because i don't know what she was holding on to and these three are both holding on to each other as they're slowly pulling Ethan back into the building. I thought that was just going to be a CGI stunt. Maybe they just built something and then added that. But no, they really were hanging out of the side of that building. Because Jeremy Renner, what he was talking about, he goes, look, I'm not the one for stunts like this,

and I'm not the one for heights. Oh, no, he was the one that did the cell phone thing, because he was saying, he was up that high and if I would have fell out and then I would have been able to call somebody. He was the one that said that.

And he said, we really did it. They harnessed them up, put cables all over them to make sure they could be out. And he goes, and I was hanging out the side of that building, that side of that building

a hundred and something stories up. I don't know. Nope. Even Paul Padden. She goes, I wasn't hanging out the side of the building, but I was, he said,

knowing that that window open and we're up that high, she goes, it still scared her. She goes, even with everything hooked up to them, she goes, it was still scary. I'm sure it was. They could be a million cables hooked up to me, and I'd still be, I'd still die, hanging out, just looking out that window with nothing there. No, no, thank you. Shout out to them three for going above and beyond, just for, for, to make this film.

I think out of every film so far I think this is probably my favorite stunt big stunt that Tom Cruise does we'll get into another bigger stunt in the next film also they they everything goes to hell and the did the did they did they figure out that Tom Cruise and Jim Marin or wasn't the dudes that were supposed to meet yeah I think both sides in different rooms. It kind of happened simultaneously. Everybody figured it out. And then they had

a big fight scene and shoot out. Paula Patton ends up because she knows who the blonde chick is. That's the one who killed what's his name earlier. Was it Hathaway? Hannaway. Hannaway. Yeah.

Killed him earlier. So they had their fight, which she ends up kicking the girl through the window out of the building. which she wasn't supposed to do because they needed her alive. And this is where we get another Tom Cruise running scene

where he chases Cobalt through the sandstorm. And this was pretty, pretty exciting right here because you just got that element of not being able to see and they are running around trying not to get hit by cars.

Then they get into car chase. And that head-on collision that they did. I mean, Tom Cruise's character jumps out of the car, but that should have killed Colbaut right there, but you end up seeing him get up and running off in the distance. That

was, I mean, going back to the building when they were up there, that's when they noticed that that sandstorm was coming because they all like, what the hell is that? Yeah, Benji said it wasn't coming this way. And it came right for him because when Tom goes, starts his run, he's like,

Hawn asked out of that building chasing that dude and then the sandstorm hits. And maybe everyone's just used to it because they acted, some of the locals acted like they didn't know it was coming because they were running. There was a bunch of them still running around out there. I figured the news would have said, yeah, it's coming. Everyone get inside. But I love that. And luckily, Ethan still had his goggles.

in his pocket. Right before they, Ethan and what's his name? Brandon, we're going to meet those guys to do the exchange. Jeremy Renner's character, your goggles. Oh, he took him off his head and stuck him in his pocket. So as Ethan's running around chasing that dude, he digs in his pocket and puts those on. So thankfully he had those, so he wasn't rubbing, dirt and sand out of his eyes.

But I did love how he ran by and grabbed the scarf and wrapped it around his mouth and was running. I, oh, he had, um, uh, that little, uh, his little phone that, uh, had, uh, because the, I guess they were saying the paper that they used, well, they had the codes on it, had some, some kind of tracking thing in it that it was made of. Is that what it was? Yeah. Because that's how he was able to, uh, chase him. through the sandstorm because he could barely see his hand in front of his face

because he kept looking at his phone and there was like a green light was him and the red light was where the the bad guy with the papers so that was rough though because when he was running and stopped and he saw that red line coming at him like full speed then he looked up and jumped out of the way and it was that car I thought that was pretty sweet but this was I mean the home movies unbelievable but I think this was the most unbelievable part hauling ass in sandstorm and not being able to see. I mean, to get as far

as they got, I'm sure they were to wreck or killed people. I mean, people running around trying to get out of the sandstorm. But that's what I was like cringe and I was like, because things were coming out of the sand and they were just ducking and dodging everything. Yeah, that whole scene

when they, when he did the head-on thing, that was crazy. But what you can do? I mean, you had to do what you got to do to to help the mission. So once he crashed him, that guy ran off, right? Yeah, he ran and jumped on the back of that truck. Like you said, there's just still people out there in the sandstorm.

Like, it's nothing. He jumps on the back of the truck and takes off the mask to reveal that it's cobalt. And he drives away. And then they meet up, I guess, like a safe house. And he's basically, Ethan's like, you know, I'm going to go from now on. I'm on my own. supposed to do this together and it didn't work. And so he leaves. And while he's gone,

that's when we get the reveal that Jeremy Renner's character is not an analyst. He was a field agent and he was supposed to protect Ethan's wife, which we didn't even talk about why he was in prison. He was in prison for killing

six Serbians. And his wife had died. And we get to reveal that Tom, or not. Jeremy Runner's character was supposed to be watching her, and she died, and he feels guilty of it, and he doesn't know if he should tell Ethan that he was there, and he was supposed to watch her.

Yeah, because he just felt so bad, because he said after that mission that what he was supposed to do failed, he said he just couldn't work in the field anymore. so that's why he just became an analyst yeah oh he Ethan went to find that dude that he broke out of prison yeah he he went to I don't know where he went to but he went to go find Bogdan

and Bogdan was hooked up with I'm assuming the guy was an arms dealer that had information yeah he was because I guess he knew a lot of people because when they were asking well this is the guy I'm looking for do you know him and he was like got maybe and uh so that that was when they they realized that uh where he was going to be and where did they go after i don't remember um they he meets up he realizes that he needs the team

again he can't do it by himself which that that whole thing kind of bothered me that was such a quick turnaround from him saying you know i'm gonna do this on my own to i i need my team and they end up going to Mumbai, I think it is. Yeah, Mumbai to negotiate with that Indian billionaire guy. And what did he have? I remember him, but I don't remember why they...

What was he going to give him? Oh, he had... Something about that satellite, the control of the satellite. That's right, because they figured out, well, there's no way we can stop the missiles if they launch them. Yeah, but they can do something with the satellite. In order to bounce relays or whatever to stop the missiles if they launch. All right, okay, so he had it.

It wasn't a satellite that was in the sky, was it? Because they, unless I'm thinking of something else. Did they even show it? Yeah, for a quick second. And they had that whole whole plan where Paula Patton was going to like seduce him to get

the get another code. I think it was another code for the satellite and then they had the whole thing where Jeremy Runner jumped down the fan thing and got caught by the magnet and he was in that tunnel and he was supposed to like

do something. It was a lot of technical stuff that probably isn't really real, but they did it in a movie. Yeah, because I'm lost. Why they, and okay, they got that Indian guy to, he was that asshole and a slumdog millionaire, the dude that was running. Yeah.

I think they were, I'm sorry, I think they were going to use the satellite to, if the missile was launched, they were going to shut it down. They can shut it down with the satellite, I think. And what was,

what happened. What was Jeremy Renner doing when he was floating around down in that little corridor thing? I guess he was switching some stuff around and he needed the code. I don't know. Maybe he was entering the code. He had to enter the code manually there. So he was the reason why he had to go down there. Benji was up top running the whole thing, telling him, okay. Yeah, because you know, Benji can't be the one that jumps down the thing, 25 foot drop. You know, it has to be somebody else. And that guy is Jeremy Runner. That was crazy because when he was sitting there trying to psych himself up.

That was funny. When he was doing the stretches and everything. Yeah, they were like, just job. And then he just jumped out. And I was like, wait, what's happening? And then he stopped. So I thought that was pretty sweet. Where was Ethan during all this?

He was watching Paula Patton's character because, again, this is another scene where it felt like she was new to her job, because she couldn't at first talk her way into seducing this guy, and he had to basically come in and help her out. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, there's so many scenes where it just looked like she is a rookie. Because once she did, got the code for him, because she basically got him in a headlock,

and I'm going to snap your neck if you don't tell us. After she got it, then she stabbed him with something and knocked him out, And then they, oh, did, is this where Ethan was chasing that guy? Yeah, because essentially everything they did in this whole part was for nothing because the signal got jammed. And so he, yeah, so basically all this was for nothing. And Ethan, he went running again, did his running to chase down where, because he knew where the guy was going to be at somehow. And they had that whole fight scene on the, what was it, a garage where it had different elevators for the cars. This is, is, are those things real?

I know they have some in Japan like this, but is it? Yeah. I've never seen one, but I know they're, they, this for like rich places I've seen, like. I've seen the outdoor ones that they have in New York in Manhattan, but I was wondering how. how did the cars move? Because it seemed like once those little the little platforms that they were on, if they just tilted, the cars just rolled right off. Yeah. So I was like, are they, is everything in neutral? I mean,

or is there magnet? I don't know how it was able to do. Well, it was doing. Of course it's the movie, but. Well, after he gets in the fight scene with, uh, cobalt and did he just jump off the thing himself? Uh, Coval? Yeah, because he knew that the only way he can because they had launched the missiles by then, right?

Yeah, that was crazy because he just jumps after they get into it, because they're fighting over the case, and then he just jumps off the platform, and then he just takes a tumble all the way down. They had already fired that missile, and he figured, okay, well, it's already in the air, and I guess I got to kill myself

so you don't get these codes. because he didn't think Ethan would run after because he just held that case and just fell backwards. And I was like, whoa. He didn't know Ethan well because the best idea Ethan came up with is to drive a car

off the platform, which that is pretty fucking ridiculous right there because he just crashes like basically a head-on collision straight to the floor and the air bag deploys and then he gets out and he's able to open the case and stop everything.

of course last second to save the world because he jumped in and just pushed that button and started it up and then just drove it off. Yeah,

does it work like that? With those just push-start things from what I know just because I rented a car once and the little key thing is like a sensor

it has to be I don't know at least in the car or near the car for in order for the car to start. So I assume it was in there, or maybe that was just some fancy rich car. I don't know what it was, but he pushed that button and it started.

But I don't know the physics and the balance of these cars because I don't think it would have went straight down. I think it would have flipped, but that's just me. I don't even know how many story are, how many sections up, how high he was, but high enough to just, I mean, to. Yeah, he should have been dead. Oh, yeah. But that was the only, I mean, because he was down to seconds.

Because if he didn't get to hurry up and get those clothes and everything, and the, well, I would have been dead because it would have blew up in San Francisco. Because it was heading for San Francisco. So I would have felt the vaporized part of it. I'd rather feel that I'd than live through the fallout of a nuclear war. I'd rather have that blast hit me and end it. But anyway, but I did like that. Yeah, man, if that wouldn't have killed him,

I've hit, why didn't really hit the airbag. I got a car accident one time. I kind of braced myself on the steering wheel. And the little airbag that comes out of the steering wheel, like scrape my arms and I had like these burn marks on it. My wife took one to the face, the whole airbag. So I remember her face being kind of swollen. But, yeah, I don't know, man.

How high he was and I'm sure that, that for that impact of hitting it. But he had a seatbelt on and hit the airbag, so I assume he was all right. But I probably wasn't going as fast as him when I got my accident. But, man, I'm sure he would have been days because that powder that comes out of those airbags like went in my face and down my throat. Because I remember getting out of the car like dry heaving. I thought I was going to throw up. And I was spitting out all that powder that's in there. he's Ethan Hunt

if he can survive anything else I'm sure you can survive a little car wreck but that was pretty cool I liked how he did that and he was able to stop the missile but it took it chipped the

I can't remember any of that pointy building in San Francisco because it clipped that and then it didn't it just what it didn't deactivated it I guess because it just went flying into the water and then

Yeah, and I hope they just didn't leave it in the ocean. No, well, I'm jumping ahead to the next movie because they do talk about that. Okay. In the next film, but just like quickly. But yeah, it was like, okay, clip the building, bomb falls in the water, and then now we're hanging out in Seattle, drinking beer. Yeah, did you like this end scene? It was a little sad when Tom was seeing his wife.

I didn't get maybe they explained in the next film. I didn't finish it. We do get Luther. Yeah, and that's what I didn't like. It was good that he did pop up in at the end, because he was somewhere else on other missions, I guess. I wish he would have been there with him, but then I don't think we would have got that much Benji.

because he was basically the Luther of this. Yeah, I love Benji in this one. Yeah, so, I mean, but it was cool. It was good to see Luther at the end. But, I mean, it's once, uh, branded, um, Jeremy Renner's character explained to Ethan on what happened. I mean, about, yeah, I was there when your wife died. And Ethan Hunt, he, he must have knew they were there.

That was the reason why they did the switcheroo. Because he asked him, well, did you see her? Did you see the body? And he was like, no. And that's when he kind of basically told me, yeah, she's still alive. All right. Because he was like, hmm, okay. But I was thinking however many years it was in between after Jeremy Randis' character,

working in the field. He obviously felt really bad because he didn't want to tell Ethan. Like how much of that PTSD or whatever did he have to live with? Yeah. I was going to get damn. And real quick, how good of a, how good are they hiding his wife if she is? She looks like she's still a doctor.

They changed. I'm jumping ahead now. They basically gave her a new life. That was the only way they can do it. With the same profession? Yeah. Okay. To legally say she's did whatever her name was is dead.

And they can put it in to that, what's that thing they do when they hide them and give them new identities? Witness protection. Yeah, basically something like that. So she was able to still do her profession, but maybe she was. whatever her new name is. So that's how. And they, yeah, okay. I don't remember where they were in the third film,

like where they lived. But, you know, able to go to Seattle. I think you would probably have been safer if they sent her to the town that I live in and work at the hospital. Because I don't think terrorists and arms dealers want to chase you out here.

So, but yeah, let's send it to overly populated hot zone. Well, it is now. But to Seattle. I did feel that scene. I mean, this was a question that I had. She, okay, so she knows what her husband does.

Does she know he was there? I mean, because I know she was surprised to see him, but does he go home after this mission? Or how are they? Because obviously even Hunt didn't. changes his name or anything but it's no I just be I think he just

I think he just like watches her from a far like like a creeper or something just kind of hide him behind things watching her that would suck though I mean no you got a wife and someone you love but you can't you can't be

around her because if she does get killed it's because of you and your profession technically she's not his wife if she's legally dead. So. Yeah. So he can go bang.

Paula Patton and Maggie Q. I guess. Which, which they make it seem like Paula Patton is a part of the team because they all get their phones. Basically like, you know, I'm going to call you for a mission.

And I guess Paula Patton ends up going wherever Maggie Q went because she just disappears from the series. Yeah. I was kind of like, I don't even know who they brought into the next one. I think it's Rebecca Ferguson. Okay. I'm only in the beginning of that film, so I'm not sure exactly what she, her part is in that. But, all right.

I'm hoping, from what I understand, they are doing one more. like I don't know what it's called Mission Apostle 7. Yeah. Productions shut down. I hope they bring all the past agents just to help. If it's the last one, they're like, hey man, I need some people here. But maybe those agents, maybe Maggie Q and that other guy are whatever part of the world in order for them to bring them in. do I'm sorry, I do know, um, what is her name? Vanessa Kirby, she was in Fallout. Um, she was the,

the white widow, the arms dealer that he, he was working with. Uh-huh. And she was also in the Hobbs and Shaw. She was, uh, Jason Stapham's sister in that one. She, she's coming back for a bigger role in seven. I know that. Okay. I'm on, uh, IMDB, Rebecca Ferguson is back. Vanessa Kirby is the white widow. And... I know what's his name from Mad Max Fury Road? Is in it?

The guy that was Nux, Nicholas Hope? I don't see his name on here. Well, I guess I got to do the full cast. I think it was just announced recently. Well, yeah, it must have been because he's not on here. Somebody named Haley Atwell.

Sherwin. Haley Atwell. Peggy Carter. Oh, okay. Yeah. A Palm Helminteth? Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy. All right.

Oh, that's where it is. He's in the Marvel. Issa Muralis. He's in it. Sweet. I like him. Glad that he's doing something big. Ving Rames is coming back.

Henry. Ches. Cheserin. I don't know who. Oh, this might be a spoiler, everyone. He's Eugene Kittridge.

Wasn't Kittridge the the main guy in the first one? It was hunting down Ethan? Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe he's related to him. I don't know.

I don't think we ever talked about it into what happened to Hannibal Lerner. what's his name? Oh, yeah, we didn't even bring him up. Anthony Perkins.

Is that his name? Wait. No, that was the dude from Psycho. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry.

Hannibal. Hannibal Lecter. Anthony. Somebody. We're just going to get screaming all through this episode. Anthony Hopkins. Yeah.

Anthony Hopkins. Perkins. You guys know what I meant. Rest and peace. Anthony Perkins. We've got to do those for 31 days of horror. Maybe not all four, but we'll do at least one. I like all four.

So do I. I'm down. I'm down if you are. All right. Well, if you are, we'll have to do all four. But, yeah, we didn't even mention him. He, I guess he just needed the money and did it because he... In this world here, it doesn't seem to pay off to be the,

head of IMF because they seem to change out guys like every movie yeah because of the Kittridge in the first one then we got whatever Hopkins' name was and then Lawrence Fishburn was in the third one

and I don't even know who it was in this one I don't think they had one in this one I don't think so I'm back on Rogue Nation I don't want to start talking about out because they explained by the

yeah I don't I don't think there was one in this one if there was they didn't oh no it was the well it was the yeah it was it was the dude that got killed um the the guy that was with Jeremy runner when he got shot in the

he was the head of it um Tom Wilkinson yeah because they bring up his character in the next film

and well next episode we'll get into that okay I'm jumping ahead everyone that he was the main one that he got killed because they do bring him up in the next film well in the beginning that they did but

so far out of these four I mean of course the my favorite one is the first one but I think action-wise this one had the most out of these first four I agree What are your ratings for both of them?

Mission Impossible 3. I enjoyed it. The story wasn't the greatest, but I'd probably give it an 8, mainly for Philip Seymour Hoffman on how badass he was. Yeah, I'm a little, I'm close to there, but I'm going to give it a 7.

half. I kind of, I think it was the ending that just kind of just threw it, threw it off for me a little bit, just did the happy ending, the way he just told her everything, which clearly by four was a complete mistake because she had to get a whole new life. So, yeah, seven and a half on that one. And that goes against the whole protocol thing of being an IFA, IAMF agent. Mm-hmm.

I you're trained not to tell anyone even if they're torturing you you're trained not to just let them know what's going on here he just told her like it was nothing but yeah but uh ghost protocol I am going to give this one a nine I loved it that much I don't I would have given it a 10 but that whole part when they did that mission in in Mumbai was for nothing, like a lot of it in The Last Jedi, their missions was for nothing. So, yeah, I would give it that. I mean, they always give these happy endings and everything, but it was close to a 10, mainly for all the action and everything was going on in this one. But this is definitely one. It would probably be my second favorite as of now, because Rogue Nation and Fallout. I don't even remember those.

I only remember the big stunt in the next film, but other than that, I don't even remember what's going on. Yeah, I am right there with you at a nine. Love the stunts, especially the one in Dubai on the outside of the building. Love that they gave Simon Pegg more to do.

Kind of, again, didn't like the very ending of this one, but it is what it is yeah, nine, definitely nine. I think just so far is my favorite one out of the ones we reviewed. I think out of these two films,

I think when they get to the end, they're like either running out of money or time and then just wrap it up as fast as they could. Yeah, it seems like they try to make it happy. It's like you don't need it. It's like they blew their load too soon. And then it just, what would they give you clean up at the end?

But that's my opinion, everyone. You guys might think different on these films. But I know there's a huge fan base for all these films, and I know there's a lot of people that hate them. But it's mainly because Tom Cruise. My wife, she goes, I hate Tom Cruise. I don't know why you watch these films. But I love them.

I mean, I can put the art to separate the art and the artist. So I liked it. But I did like how he grew his hair again in this one. So it can be blowing around when he was flying around on the side of that building. Going back to that scene during the making, they were saying that when he was out on the side of the building trying to get used to it, I guess they kind of forgot that he was out there.

Because he came back in and then they were all right. They were doing some other things. But then the director said, He goes, yeah, we were doing whatever. And then we're like, where's Tom? And as you hear someone going, whoa, whoopee, swinging around. They look out the window. And he goes, then we see him swinging around outside.

How, again, I'm not the one to do that. That's big balls for Tom Cruise to do what he did, put his life on the line to entertain us. All those guys, everyone that made this film, especially during all that scene. that was amazing I think out of all the big stunts that I remember I think this it was probably my favorite

out of these first four films I do love the next big stunt and the next film fallout I don't remember that at all I don't even know what the stunt was but I just remember he broke his ribs when he was jumping from that one roof to the next but yeah

definitely these are all if you like these type of films I mean, you've got to disbelieve some of it, but these are still awesome. And they do it to entertain us, and that's what we're here to do to entertain you guys as well. But I love to pretty much everything, except for the second one. I don't know to hear shit, but Ghost Protocol, awesome film. All right, man. Before we get out of here, tell everybody what you got out and what you got coming out.

We got a new regular episode for East's, society. We only, mainly TV. We only watched one movie and I mentioned that earlier. That film Lost Bullet. Definitely check that of everyone. It's an awesome film. You can either read it. It's all in French or you can do the English dub. I read it halfway and then I was getting tired and then I just turned into the English, the dub version. And it was fine. It didn't take anything away from it. But it's definitely a cool film. Did check that out of everyone. But yeah, as far as that that's all we got coming. I did mention something before about somebody wanting to do a new show for our network,

and it's a bust because I've got a new job and doesn't have time to do it now. So sorry, everyone. We tried. Yeah, as far as that, that's all we got, a new episode of East Society. I got another McNez podcast planned and scheduled. I just need to sit down and interviewing a indie wrestler. by the Navajo Warrior. He's an amazing guy.

Look him up on Instagram. I got the okay for the interview. We just got to set it up. So hopefully that will be within the next month or so whenever he's getting a break. Because he is out there still doing it. They're doing indie shows. Hey, I don't know if I'd go. I mean, I would go.

I would say that I said it before. I would stand way in the back. But I don't know. But then again, I mean, all those guys that are out there doing it, I mean, right on. I mean, you guys are still out there doing it to entertain us in this weird time that we're all living in right now. But yeah, as far as Skaterness Podcast Network, that's all I got coming up next is a new East Society episode. Nice.

Of course, for the action returns, the next episode, we're going to talk Mission Impossible. Rogue Nation, as far as well as Fallout and over at the horror returns. By the time you hear this, you'll hear our Brian Usenah episode. where we talk about society and the dentist with our guests, Cindy Sinabria. And next week, we got another Patreon pick from Patreon donor Matt Wood. We're going to talk about a triangle, 2009's triangle, Tokyo Gore Police and the Banshee chapter. And after that, I think, yeah, we're doing the Bill and Ted trilogy.

And as I think you're joining us for that one. Yeah, I'll be there. All right. Any last words? No, that's it. Everyone, be safe out there and just get ready for the next episode. All right. Until the action returns, everybody stays safe. Wear your mask.
