Can you open the door? Ethan? Who are you? I'm by the plane. Benji, can you open the door? Can I open the door? Uh, maybe. Open the door when I tell you.

All right, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the horror returns. This is episode nine. The action. Oh, the action returns. Fuck, we're going to leave that in. We're not going to leave that in. It's the action returns episode nine.

I am your host, Brian. And with me, as always, is my brother, What's up man? Yo, what's going on, man? How are you guys doing up there? Doing okay. Still dealing with this situation up here. It hasn't changed from last time.

And just trying to get used to this whole online school thing with my daughter. It seems like a whole, I don't... They sent me a schedule. And I'm just like, man, at this point, they can just go to school. my son he started and he's he's not complaining he just comes in here

into the studio and I need to get him a laptop so he can just stay out of here I don't like anyone touching everything in here because I have it the way I want it but other than that man he's this is just the beginning of the school year

but um I'm I think school is going to be canceled for the I don't know how long I mean not due to the pandemic and everything we

here in California where I'm at I mean we're on fire I was out looking at earlier and part of the town is evacuated has evacuated not the main intel like on the outskirts

over on the mountains so we kind of live in a valley where I live on the reservation up on the other side of town. I mean, we're okay. I mean, thank goodness there's no fires on this side. I mean, I knock on wood, hopefully it doesn't happen. I mean, we have a fire season every single year since I've been living up here the past 20 years and I think this is probably the second time that it's gotten really close to town. And it's, we went and looked at it. We went down to the bottom of the street where we can see and you can just, it's, it's, it's, it's,

it's like just like the whole hillside is on fire um we've been getting uh emergency calls like all day i mean they just uh all these automated calls saying uh this road is closed that road is closed uh mandatory evacuation so everybody's just i don't know where everyone's going some friends of ours um my wife talked to them and they had to get out of their house so they went to Another house they have a really big family. So they went to someone else's house, but then they had to get evacuated from there. So I'm like, oh my God, I don't know where they can go next. But it's crazy right now.

I mean, shout out to all the people that are out there fighting the fires, the men and women that are out there. because I see the helicopters flying around dropping whatever water or whatever that stuff is there onto the fire. Once the night hit, I mean, during the day you couldn't see nothing. It's just like, it's just smoke. We've been just engulfed in all the smoke and all the ashes falling over on our side of town. I mean, none of it's lit, but it's like a lot of pine trees. So the little pine twigs that are burnt up are falling over here on my house. and ash all over my cars.

And it's just, it's heartbreaking and it's scary to just see it. Because like I said, once the night hit, you can see the flames. And you can see all the firefighters up there because you just see all the flashing lights. And I'm like,

oh, man. I mean, there's so many fires here in California, for those you that don't know, up and down, northern, middle, southern. I mean, all California is on fire. And it's scary. So hopefully we can get a hold of it.

Is it the heat that causes it? No, there was lightning storms. Lightning strikes have started. Oh, that's okay. Lightning strikes have started a lot of them. But then one of the last ones, it was over the holiday weekend. Somebody was dragging a chain behind their trailer and just. sparked and it's so dry up here where we're at and it just caught and that's all it took.

Sometimes idiots throw the cigarettes out the window and that's it, but it's been just hectic. Even I work in Nevada and there's a fire going on over there and it's just smoky all over that city and I can just smell the smoke and sometimes the ash comes down on the airport where I work. And it's just, it's crazy right now. We're due to for some more storms from what I understand. They're going to be dry storms. So hopefully, it just doesn't start any more fires. We don't need any more.

We got enough right now. 2020 has been rough for everybody. I mean, throughout the world. And now California is burning up. Shit. So, but. And it's still crazy. I mean, all the pandemic and all the COVID stuff.

I mean, all the people that are evacuating, they're sending them to a college, not too far from us. And are they all outside or are they all inside somewhere? I don't know. I don't know how they're trying to separate everybody. And I don't know what's crazy. I mean, all the people that have, there's a lot of farms around here. So all the people that have livestock, they're sending all their animals over to the fairgrounds because they have a lot of stalls and everything. But then, like I said, there's so much livestock in town.

I don't think the whole fairgrounds can fit it. I don't know. I don't know how they're doing it, but I just, I pray that this ends quickly and these guys and gals out there fighting the fires get it into control. Because right now it's just where I'm at, the fire is out of control. it's over the mountain on the other side. I don't know how bad it is on that side, but the maps I've been seen. It's like a lot.

And the flames just slowly came over the hill. Now it's coming down the hill. And that's when everyone started to evacuate. My son was at his friend's house on that side of town. And someone came knocking on the door, and they said, you guys got to get out of here. I mean, the fire wasn't closed, but it was coming. So they had to be.

get out of there and I'm like damn it so but yeah from what I understand the highway is closed that I take to go to work as well as the highway the other highway on the other side of town where my wife goes they're saying that's closed and I'm like oh my god so I don't know um I don't know if I'm going to go to work tomorrow I might I might not because I don't know I don't know how what's what's happening if because if we have to have friends come over here hopefully they don't have to but I mean I have room for them if if they're evacuated in any place to stay but I don't know it's just it's out of control over here where I'm at yeah I really hope everybody stays safe man that sounds uh nothing like that I ever had to really deal with being up

here so that that's crazy yeah I was talking to my friend the other night and we both grew up in in Oakland our whole lives and she moved out to a place where she lives and they also have fires over there and she was saying we never had to deal with this type of stuff all we dealt with was just everyday stuff being in the city and earthquakes so I'm like shit I mean yeah I mean there was a fire up in the mountains one time but um I mean that as far it made we just like buildings on fire or a house on fire, but that was about it. Nothing like this to where it's just mass chaos up in the mountains because it's due to fires. But again, I hope they get it under control and I hope that no one, nobody gets hurt that's out there because

throughout the years that I've been here, there have been some firefighters that get trapped. And it's sad when I hear that. So I think everyone out there that's doing, doing what they're doing to help with this fire or all the fires not just here in californa anywhere all over the world whoever's hearing my voice and all you go firefighters that are out there doing it thank you so much because i know it's just a hard hard job to do i don't think i can do it i'm not that i'm not that man enough to do it but um yeah it's scary one of my buddies is a firefighter and the stuff that he tells me i'm like i i give him a hug every time i see him i'm like dude i i i couldn't do that i just probably if i had to yes but i just i don't think

I can handle anything like that. But again, shout out to all you guys and gals out there that's doing it. All right. Before we jump into these movies, we're going to end up talking about it on the horror returns, but I just had to get your opinion on it. New trailer for the Batman. What'd you think? It looks fucking awesome.

I can't wait to see it. I was a little worried about what you were going to say there. So we talked about it a little bit on the latest East Society that's out right now. Go listen to it. It was weird, though, at the beginning, the spoiler for just this Batman section of our show. But in the beginning of our show, we were talking about, I said, when are they going to show us something? Because the Zisu had brought up something about that DC fandom. And he said there was a suicide squad thing and Black Adam and all that.

And I said, well, I haven't seen any of that yet. And then we just got into the Batman thing. And then, well, it must have dropped right when we were recording. So we didn't, we weren't aware to it. But we took a break for like maybe about an hour because he had to go pick up his daughter from work. And within the hours when I realized that everybody, the internet was blown up. And I was like, well, what's this? So I saw that there was a trailer.

And I was like, uh-oh. So I watched it. And man, it was weird, though, because it answered every question I had that we did. I had the beginning of our show. Like how does he look like his whole body? How does the whole suit look? Um, is it, will he pull it off?

Hopefully they didn't just show us everything in, in this teaser. Because I know a lot of movies show you the whole movie in a trailer and I hate that. But, uh, I'm juiced. You heard that, you heard that this trailer was made. They've only filled 25% of the movie. And they made a trailer out of that 25%.

well what they what they showed man it was cool man you got them did they show the riddler was that the him uh because you hear talking i'm gonna say the one duct taping the guy in the beginning is the riddler um we got a quick shot of a cat woman which um from what i understand all these characters aren't like catwoman isn't catwoman yet she's just silly They haven't really become who they're going to be and we got a quick shot of Colin Farrow as the penguin Which you got you got to you got to pay attention. He is it's it's real quick and he is unrecognizable as Colin Farrow They completely changed him into a different person. All right. See I didn't catch that. I mean I knew he was gonna be the penguin or a

Ozzell Cobble pot, but I'm gonna have to watch it again. I've watched it a few times, but I just I didn't catch it so I like I didn't know that he was even in it I know there's a lot of videos that break the trailer down yet but I haven't watched I saw the one that you posted but I haven't like watched the actual video yet so I'm Zisu and I break it down when we get a chance yeah he he uh Colin Farrow you see him twice in the trailer the one the one I can point out is um he's like driving away from Batman and he's saying this guy's crazy that's Colin Farrell as Oswald because they're saying basically at this point in the in the story he's not the penguin he hates

people that call you know he hates being referred to as the penguin he hasn't embraced it yet so this is basically a lot of a lot of origin stories for for these characters you know this is going to be like Batman going into his second year all right um Where's a question? What did you think when we first saw the first image of well, I guess it's the Batmobile, that's what everyone's calling it, but then finally seeing it get fired up in this in this trailer. What did you think? I am hyped for everything. I didn't necessarily know what I if I had a lot of questions too about everything about this movie and everything. from the way he looked as Batman from the I'm going to say this is the beginning of what is

going to be the Batmobile eventually I loved every second of it I loved the feeling of the trailer it almost gave you that kind of David Fincher seven kind of five

and I really I really hope they're going for R rating in this one because it dead it's this is going to end up being darker than Nolan's Dark Night trilogy. That's how I'm thinking.

It's a much darker Batman looking to him. I mean, if this is year two, he's still working the kinks out of everything because he doesn't have the... I hope he doesn't go with the traditional Batmobile

on how it looks with him like Tim Burton's stuff or yeah Tim Burton and Joel Schumarkers I hope they don't go that route

I mean those Batmobiles for what they were were cool the Tumblr was awesome but this one it just looks like a muscle car and me personally my taste if I was a billionaire playboy I would have nothing but

muscle cars I mean nothing against all the new cars that are out now but I would have just pure American can muscle just that's the stuff I like that's what gets me juiced I'm hoping that's what they stick with

but I'm sure they won't I mean I'm sure they'll turn into whatever the Batmobile is going to be but everything that we've seen in this this little teaser so far it was like two two and a half minutes maybe and oh my God I couldn't believe it I ask if you go back and listen to the shows

when we first heard that Robert Pattinson was going to be Batman. I was like, you know what? Everybody judges him on Twilight. Those movies aren't for everyone. I enjoyed them. I didn't care for the last one. But he's a good actor.

He just doesn't, he just didn't do those movies. He's done a ton of movies that a lot of people haven't seen. And if they do see his name in the title of something, they're like just, ah, it's like to be another. teeny bopper movie no because this kid can act i thought he did good in lighthouse i don't know what his

role is in tenant but he looks tough in that as well but uh in this i mean yeah it looks i'm not really feeling the the the suit yet but this is the first time we've seen it in action so i don't know maybe it'll grow on me but um i i want to know again what i've seen so far in this trailer, what we've all seen. I'm super-duper excited. Of course, every show in the world is going to be covering it when it comes out. Batman to me is my favorite DC character, and I love everything that we've had or everything that I've seen since I've been alive,

be it animated, being at the original live-action TV show, all the movies. I do enjoy those first. four or the the first one was the Batman with Adam West movie. I know a lot of people don't think that was. It was in the theater everybody. But Tim Burton's

and Joel Schumacher's I do enjoy those four. They're not my favorite ones. I know everyone bashes Batman forever. I think that's my favorite out of the four. I hear that there is an extended cut that I would like to see of that film.

I think there was like another 45 minutes almost close to an hour of footage that we didn't see. So, I mean, released the Schumacher cut since they're doing the Snyder cut Justice League deal. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm also excited for Zach Snyder's Justice League, the little bit they showed. And I'm not feeling this. You watched trailer? Yeah, I'm not feeling the four-part mini-series.

I'm like, come on, just give me the four hours. I'll sit there for four hours and watch it. I did, well, three or whatever, how long the Irishman was. But I don't know. But I don't know. I'll still watch it and enjoy it. A little bit we've seen. We're seeing Dark Side.

And I'm all right. Cool. We'll see. All right. Real quick question about the Batman. Is Lance going to hate the trailer or is he going to love it? Brother Lance, you know I love you every time I talk about you. But I just have that feeling.

that he's going to be like, I don't think he'll hate it, but I think he'll be, eh. So I don't know. It's hard to read him. Like how brother Philip, he always says it's hard to read me

when we talk about movies and everything. But I think Phil will enjoy it. I mean, I already know you're already hyped for it. Lance is the one that's teetering. Sometimes he loves shit movies and sometimes he hates really good movies. But I don't know.

I will say he will be in the middle with this one. I can put my money on that. All right. All right. Let's get into these Mission Impossible movies. We are finally at the end of this, I guess, retrospective on Mission Impossible. First one, of course, we've got to talk about Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, which came out July 31st, 2015. The syndicate is an army trained to do what we do.

You've met your match. They're coming after us with everything they've got. On July 31st. You want to bring down the syndicate? It's impossible. When the enemy is your equal. You recognize anyone? These dead operatives aren't really dead.

This is your worst name. Oh boy, missed everything. Here they come! This may very well be our last mission. Let's make it count. Oh my God! On the PG-13. Theaters Anarchus July 31st.

Synopsis goes, and his team take on their most impossible mission yet when they have to eradicate an international rogue organization as highly skilled as they are and committed to destroying the IMF. This stars Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Bing Raim, Sean Harris, and Alec Baldwin. And this is directed by Christopher McCory. Nez. What did you think of Mission Impossible Rogue Nation? This one, like the last two movies we talked about, all I remembered was the big stunt, which they blew their load right in the beginning of the film. I totally forgot the mission. I totally forgot how it ended. Well, of course, it ended good because there wouldn't have been a sixth movie. but I really enjoyed this one.

It sucked that they put the big stunt in the very beginning of the film that really didn't have... Well, I guess it did kind of have a point to the film, to the mission, but anyway. But overall, once it really got going, it was kind of like a little slow burn in the beginning to try to get what was going on, or what the mission was going to lead up to because it was like a lot of talk, talk, talk. but then once they actually got into the mission and it picked up and with all the tons of action, I think in my opinion, these last two films were just full of action. So out of this whole retrospective, I think most of it was in this. And the director and Tom Cruise said that they were just trying to top everything that we've seen thus far in the series up to this point with Rogue Nation.

so I loved it and shout out to Tom Cruise I did watch all the special features as well man this guy can just do everything other than he doesn't look like he ages but then he does age because watching all these movies like pretty much back to back

throughout the couple weeks like he was just young and fresh in the first mission impossible but then when we get... He doesn't age normally yeah I mean he's pushing 60 I would say and man he's in a million times better shape than me.

But this movie kind of wore me out, man. He was just huffing and puffing and just running all over the place. So much cardio. Man, I was sitting there sweating in my recliner watching this. But I enjoyed this one. Once the mission kicked into gear, it was awesome. Because that first, right after the first scene with the airplane, I think it kind of just started to idle.

And then I'm like, okay, come on. Okay, this player is that person. This is that person. This is the bad guy. Let's get going. But I really liked everything in this. I do love that Alec Baldwin and came back for this one. So I thought that was it.

Was this the first one he was in? Yeah. Okay, yeah. I'm jumping ahead with fallout. But I did like Alec Baldwin. I think he's awesome in just about every. He can be a good guy and then he can be that asshole and he was the asshole on this one Jerry Morener it was cool to see him back I noticed once Simon Pegg

came into the cast um that he's he was just basically the comic relief because pretty much every scene he was in was hilarious even just with the quick one-liners and the little stuff that did uh his love for wanting to do the whole mask thing I mean I always thought that yeah yeah that turned into his mimic to like he just had to bring it up so I thought that was really cool Sean Harris as Lane I liked this actor he was really good I think the first movie that I can remember seeing him is it was in Prometheus he was one of the the scientists I mean I liked him in that I love his accent and he he pulled off a really good bad guy in this one he just looked ruthless I mean I don't know how this

man is in real life but he he can play that bag roll character and I thought it was really good but um the new addition to uh the women rebecca ferguson it took me a minute to like her so but uh towards it me as it got going i really did like her her character as Elsa bost i think that's i see her last name but boused yeah she was good i really did like her she could kick ass and everything so i thought it was awesome but um yeah i mean other than that i mean i did enjoy the whole film. Like I said, once it got into gear, uh, it just kept going all the way to the end. So, and I know I watched this movie multiple

times, but I just, my old memory is just forgetting it because it was like I was, this was the first time I had seen this, but I really enjoyed it. Man, I thought this one was awesome. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't, I don't think it's age though, because, um, this is a very, very good film. But for, for some reason it's not that memorable as the other movies. I love the whole gang's back. I love the introduction of Rebecca Ferguson. I love Elsa. I love her. When we get to it, I love her in the next movie. I like Sean Harris as Solomon Lane. I like this whole introduction of the syndicate because you got IMF. You have to have that

other organization that's the opposite and I love this whole introduction of that that organization um Jeremy runner I understand what they were doing with his character for most of the movie but I kind of wanted a little bit I mean he's by this time this movie's coming out he's a he's a big

name you know he's Hawkeye you know let's let's let's see some more from him and I think he was kind of underused throughout the movie you're also correct they blew their load in the opening scene with the this is the one with the plane right yeah okay yeah another ridiculous stunt that tom cruise had to actually hang on the side of the plane um but my problem is like i've seen this a few times and going into this rewatch i couldn't remember anything outside of the plane i remember rebecca ferguson because she When she kicks ass in this movie, she kicks ass.

But I just couldn't really remember anything. And just now we're talking about it, just realizing there's not a lot of memorable. There's memorable characters. Like I said, you get Solomon Lane in the syndicate and you get the introduction of Ilsa. But outside of that, I just, this wasn't too memorable for me. I mean, the story was cool. I mean, it was a good beginning because it, uh, spoil a little bit of you guys haven't seen it. It does lead into

the second, or to the next film, fallout. But I thought it was a good beginning to the story, mainly dealing with the bad guy with, what was Lane's first name? Solomon. Solomon Lane, yeah, dealing with him. But

the mission was cool. I did like that. I mean, it wasn't well, pretty much all the missions he had done. It's like he starts out and then somehow it turns into everybody still hunting for even hunt pun intended but

it always turns into that so it's like okay well you know he's gonna they're gonna be after him to try to stop him there's always someone on the good side that's trying to stop the even hunt and that's this time it was

Alec Baldwin dealing with everything and Jeremy Renner yeah I agree with you Jeremy Renner was like underused in this he was like too much he was just shining his ass in dc with uh alec baldwin because and in this alick baldwin is the uh the head of the CIA so he took um i think someone died in the last one i don't remember but uh he he took over no wasn't no uh pops from blackish uh morphius of lauren who who what was he in the last one was he that

That was the third one. Was he in the third one? Who was that? No, the head guy got killed in the last. Sorry, everyone. Yeah, I can't remember the actor's name, but yeah, the guy that was with Jeremy Renner's character in the fourth one. Who was helping hunt out. And as soon as he gave Hunt all the information, he got killed in the SUV they were driving in.

All right. And then there was, so there was nobody. And then that's when Alec Baldwin took over. All right. But Alec Baldwin heard that all the heroics that Ethan Hunt and his crew does. So he just figured that they needed to be knocked down a peg or two and let the CIA take over. So, I mean, there's always that one guy, especially in all these type of films. I mean, all these little spy espionage type of thing.

There's always someone that hates the main hero, which is Tom Cruise in this one. So, but overall, I mean, the mission was what it was. was trying to figure out who the syndicate is. I mean, they obviously already knew because they had pictures and everything of them. It was just them trying to stop them.

No, that was in the next film. What were they trying to get? See, that's the problem with me watching all these movies. I blend everything together, but in this one, I know what did they had to get to, that was on the little hard drive that they had to go in and get? I can't remember what exactly

they were after shit I know in the beginning of the plane it was the nerve gas and then when they did the thing with the chip which was a great scene great action scene

the underwater where he had the suit that told him how much oxygen he had and how long he would have it that kind of like when you I remember first watching it it was kind of like having you on the edge of your seat

to see if he made it but I can't remember what the fuck they were doing see this is the thing with these movies sometimes it's hard to follow what the mission is but then again you got a movie like mission impossible three where they tell you the rabbit's foot but they just don't tell you what the hell it's for or anything and sometimes i wish it was like that because it's kind of hard to follow was this this is the one that had the um Was it all the bank accounts that had like billions of dollars all over the world and other accounts? Yeah, there you go.

It had like the billions in euros and silver and all like that. And I think they were going to trade that for, I remember at the end, they had took Benji hostage after they got the, they got the chip or the information or whatever. and we didn't mention that Elsa was undercover actually she was MI6 and she was supposed to be undercover to bring out Solomon Lane because MI6 wanted him because they didn't want anybody to know that the head of the syndicate this worldwide terrorist group came from their organization originally so I know that was like the main thing was to get him but I think what he wanted was the of all those billions in in euro and

silver or whatever the digital bank account all right so okay so we got that thing and then that was pretty much the story but then it turned into a super stunt fest and the action I mean again shout out to to Tom Cruise for just putting his life on the line to to entertain us because the the

that was him on the side of that plane that was him driving the cars and that was him on the motorcycles and that was him underwater I was like damn I mean this guy must have a million lives because he just

must have no fear because he was out there doing it I mean, talking about the stunt in the beginning with the airplane, I mean, that was, that was not CGI at all. Yeah. I love all. Yeah, I love that whole setup to that scene because it looked like he wasn't even a part of the mission. And they're trying to figure out what? Yeah.

I never like, Ethan? What are you doing here? And then he's just like, Benji, open the door to the plane. And he was like, where are you? I'm on the plane. and I just like that whole setup there because Ethan seems to just be in the right place at the right time in these movies

Yeah, it was It was crazy because I had to watch the special features On how they did all the stunts and everything But he did that shot on the side of the plane Eight times they said And he said that It was just He tried to make it look as good as possible

but he said it was just the force of the wind and everything once that the plane took off he said it was just hard he really couldn't see anything because he had these some kind of protective lenses in his eyes and they said there was a ton of stuff that could have gone wrong other than just the way the weather was little rocks they fly up

and they shoot out of the back of the engines bird strikes they were scared of everything I mean they were just saying it they could have just went so wrong and he put he just now we can do it we can do it we can do it and they let him do it

the thing that he kept quiet about he said was the the exhaust from those jet end from the propeller engines he said that was just like horrible smell and everything he said that it just left a bad taste

in his mouth for hours he goes but we got the shot so i mean that was good and oh man that was crazy because i know they said he said once they did it the first time they landed he was still all harnessed up he said uh he kind of caught his breath he goes all right man let's do it again and i guess they just fired up the engines and then went for it again um was this one shut this uh yeah it was shot in imax watching how they did it with just rigging all the cameras and everything

and they said once he was on the side of the plane was like you can't get them off until they land it's not like how they did in the movie when they opened the door and he flew in they couldn't just do that I don't know aerodynamics or I don't know anything about airplanes pressure wise or anything

but they said they couldn't do that they had to land and then unhook him and everything but i was like god damn and the the scenes when uh him him and benjie were hauling ass uh i can't remember where they were uh in the in the film but just all the stunt driving that that was him too and they said he could hardly see because they had so many cameras mounted to the to the hood of the cars he said he only had like a small little like space that he could see because these cameras they used were so big and try not to basically ruin those cameras slamming into things but he was just serving those cars reverse bag every i thought that was awesome and then the the motorcycle scenes um that was cool

that was him on the motorcycle going top speed and and all that and scrape his knee on the ground that was all him but the cars and everything on there that were so close they said that was all cg i of course i don't think i don't think the studio would allow him to be hauling ass with cars coming at him. But, I mean, that one was crazy. But the underwater, I mean,

the plane was scary enough and everything, but the underwater part when they had to go into that, um, where exactly was that? It was a vault, so they had to go in there

and get that file. But what, well, what was, what was it for? Okay. Benji, what,

the only way to get Benji through all the security systems, they would have to go, outside of the vault into this little underwater thing and switch out these computer chips, which they only had so much time to do it. And that's what we mentioned about the, they had the suit. And he only had a few minutes of air. And I double-checked.

It was a file that had $2.4 billion in various bank accounts. And this was to serve as the syndicates operating budget. So that's what they got. And yeah, a lot of that, the underwater stuff was CGI. Of course, you can clearly see that it was, but there was times that it was Tom underwater, holding his breath. And they did, of course, they did have the little scuba divers next to him to give him oxygen and everything. But, oh, man, that's, that was crazy. I mean, I love that whole, that whole scene of how he got into it.

but the thing that that bugged me about that scene was i mean him and elsa were at the top of that little catwalk you can clearly see it was during the day and there was all kinds of workers walking around or whoever they were they didn't see them dive into this big old circular water thing i mean i was like yeah yeah i see what you say i guess you got to you got to give the movies some exception sometimes i don't understand if it was dark in there but it was was like there was people walking everywhere you didn't see this guy drop in there yeah I think there was a guy standing there with a clipboard facing them it kind of looked like it was cool though I mean I loved I mean that other than obviously

Benji hacked it and saw the whole layout of the of that water system because I mean that was crazy he just went just jumped right in straight in down and they were saying that the force of the water will push you into that room where you had to go get that little or basically switch out the the cards so they can he can bypass all the security system and I didn't understand what that thing was that was going in a circle that a little arm it was spinning around it was just there to create more drama because of course he gets hit by it you knew he was going to get hit by it and he mixes up the chip you know they just wanted to create more suspense.

That was suspenseful, man, because I was sitting there holding my breath. Like, oh, my God. And I love the suit, how he would look and see that he had auctioned. But that was like, it was turning red and it was like running out. And I loved the scene how he was like, you could just see him starting to lose it because he just was running out of air. And then he, but he did switch the thing and they got the whole thing. But luckily Elsa dove in there and got him. he went in there with a old high-tech suit and she just dove in there and like in a bikini it's a

they kind of showed you that earlier when they when they meet up with her how she's uh timing herself underwater in the pool oh yeah that's right because what i love about these films is they go all over the world um and i it's neat i mean i know that the the people that they have to go out and scout out all these locations, man. I mean, that must be a tough, tough job. To just, okay, this looks cool, this looks cool. I think they will like this. I mean, I don't know.

I don't know where they were in that. I mean, a lot of these, they're all over the world in this whole franchise, but it was cool, though. I do love all that. But the, I think you watch these films mainly for the, for me, of the little gadgets and everything that they use that they're known for if you're familiar with the old school TV series.

That was awesome back in those days, but not rolling into the 2000s and everything for what we've got. Didn't realize this is, this, what, 20 years? This franchise has been going from the very first one, which was in the 90s? I was like, damn.

But, I mean, overall, I did like this one. J.J. A. Abrams was one of the producers. Didn't really show him too much on the set, but I'm sure he might have popped up here and there because it was mainly just the director Macquarie and Tom Cruise and their whole crew, but Overall man, other than the stunts and everything that's in this and the action and there was a lot of gunfire fights in this so I thought all that was pretty sweet But I kind of think they just half-ass on the on the mission really I mean it was cool. I love what I mean they give you the mission and it's seems simple, but they always got to have all these crazy things to get in the way, like the

underwater thing and all that. I mean, that was neat. I did like that. Do they really have stuff like that? Or was it just made for the movie to give you that that suspenseful action? You never know, man. There's probably something like that somewhere. You never know. that's the only thing that pops when I watch these type of films or especially like in the first one like that room where he had he couldn't touch the floor

or the temperature couldn't change I mean that made that like do they have rooms like that and everything it's just crazy but I mean but overall man this film was good what was the budget 150 million and it made

682.7 million in the box office did you see this in iMacs uh i think i did yeah i know i saw the one before in the last one in i think i saw this one in um dx or whatever cinemark has their whatever their big screen is i think i saw it there i know we saw it the the night it opened i didn't want to go the first night because i knew it was going to be packed but um when a free ticket is handed to you you like, ah, all right.

This is all before, all before the, um, the signed seating. So we had to get there early. And, uh, I just remember,

it was just me and my buddy and it was packed. I mean, the whole role we were in was, every seat was taken. Luckily, we were in the middle. So, but it was cool.

Yeah, man, I did enjoy this one, but I, again, I got, I just got to give it to Tom Cruise, uh,

for the stunts that he did in this one. And then he goes, like, takes it more past the limit in the next one. All right, man. What's your score for Rogue Nation? Hmm. I don't even remember what I gave the last film,

but I'll probably give it an 8.5, not quite a 9. I mean, there was some things. It drug in parts, but, yeah, I'd go about 8.5. Yeah, I'm a little bit underneath. I'm going to give it an eight I think if they would have just made this a whole manhunt

for Solomon Lane because he was supposed to be this mysterious guy that started the syndicate I think if they would have just made this a whole big mission to hunt him down and kind of play it off the fact of is Ilsa

on his side or is she on our side you know if they would have did that I would have loved it more because there was there was a lot of stuff that I just didn't remember about this movie and I think it's just because the extra added thing with the getting the digital bank account numbers and stuff like that it kind of brought the score down for me a little bit but all the action was fantastic. Hats off to Tom Cruise, you know, he keeps doing his thing in this movie and it just get more, the stunts get more extreme every movie that comes out. So this one, I'm going to give it an eight. I did like that how else her character was, you didn't know if you could trust her or not trust her.

First, we think we couldn't. Then you kind of like, well, I guess we can. But then she does something to where we can't trust her anymore and everything. She was kind of like a quadruple agent or something because she was just bouncing all over the place. But I guess when you're in that line of work, you do what you got to do to get the mission straight and I kind of wish that would have went into a little more of of the syndicate on I mean they they do tell you that the stuff they've done but I wish there was a little bit more in that one but the the bad guy Lane he does he goes

down I mean I thought he would he like I said he was a really good bad guy because he was ruthless we knew how ruthless he was right from the get-go because in that scene where Ethan goes into the record store to get to get his mission he gets and he it's like a setup really because he goes in there he listens to the mission and everything but then they kind of it wasn't set up by the IMF they didn't they didn't give him that message it was the whole

syndicate set up because they said okay we're this is what's happening this is what's going on but we're blaming you and This is all set up by the syndicate. And that's when the gas starts coming in. He looks around, then he turns around. He sees the Solomon Lane. Was that his first name, Solomon? No, I think it was somebody else.

It was like a henchman. No, that was him. That was him? That was him? They shot that girl. Okay. Because when Tom Cruise walks into the record store, you see him in one of the other booths. Okay.

Looks like he's listening to music. or something, because that's how he just kind of comes out of there really quick. See, I just would have liked it that they would have made him more mysterious because they didn't even know, as far as IMF's concerned, they didn't even know who was running the syndicate at that point. Yeah, I think they could have hit him for a little while. I mean, they had, all they had was basically the drawing, no, the drawing, got from um from uh

Ethan from what he remembers yeah so I did like I did like that scene though how he just kind of captured him in that room and then turning on the gas and knocking him out but before he blew out the blew the brains out of that

little chick in there yeah and I think she was throwing herself at him yeah she definitely was because you know she she was like you know are you you're really him you're really Ethan Hunt. You know, she didn't probably hurt all, you know, all the missions and everything he's done.

Yeah, she definitely was throwing it at him. But you bringing up the sketches, I love that scene with Bing Rames and Jeremy Renner when they were trying to locate Ethan. And just by looking at the sketches, he was like, he doesn't know who this guy is referring to Solomon's sketch. but he, I guess the details that went into Ilsa's sketch, he was like, he knows her, he trusts her. And I just like, I just like that connection that Bing's Reims has with Ethan, because he mentions it later on in the movie how close they are. You know, he's saved my life before and, you know, that's my friend. And, you know, he tells Jeremy Renner, you know, basically you better be on the up and up because this is my friend. and I'm not helping him to help your organization, you know.

Why did Vingraim's Luther have such a small part in the last one? Did they just? You know, I don't know. I think it was just usually stuff like that, I just kind of chalk it up to scheduling when somebody's such a big character and a franchise and then they're just gone. I don't know. maybe maybe they just thought it would work without him and then figured they needed him back i don't know

yeah i mean i did i like that the he was in it more uh as well as even in the next one um because i i i felt like i'm i love ringers no matter what anything he pops up in but to see him be in the in the first uh few films and then we get to that one where he only pops in at the end i was kind of like weak but it was still good to see him even for those few seconds but I'm glad that he's back and he was a big part of the mission but I mean I love how

like I said Solomon uh captures Ethan in the beginning and in that room and gases them because they do that to Solomon at the end of the film when he goes chasing after him because then when he jumps into that little room and uh it's already

built like a a bulletproof clear but I assume it's plastic or so I don't what it is, whatever that stuff they used. And they gassed him and that's how they caught him. Yeah. First, uh, first time a villain wasn't killed in the series so far.

Uh, during the extras, they were, the, the director was talking about Sean Harris and he was like, he didn't want to do the film at first. He was kind of like, I really don't want to do franchise movies. Um, but they were like, no, we really need you.

And I guess Tom talked to him, talked him into it, as well as their director. and he was like, all right, but I'll do it, but you guys got to kill me. And they didn't. Because I was, I thought it was going to be like deadly gas or whatever, because once they catch him,

it's like he passes out and that's it. They throw him in the back of the truck and then they're happy and the movie's over. I'm like, well, did he die? And I was like, all right, but. But then we're rolling to the next one. And we find out that he's still alive. So I thought that was pretty good.

Yeah. Definitely a nice change in the franchise to how connected this movie is to the next one. Can you still make a mask? I need a face to make a mask. Sorry. Who was aiming for his chest? All right. Are you ready to move into the next one?

Oh, yeah. Let me pull up my page. I went on to something else. uh where is it oh here it is mission impossible fallout or mission impossible six or m i6 whatever you guys want to call it damn this was only like two years ago yeah i felt like it was longer uh this one came out uh in 2018 july 27th the the last one was in july okay must well i guess i could shooting for the the summer blockbusters and uh definitely wasn't was a blockbuster because I remember I was super duper excited.

I'm excited every time I hear that there's going to be another Mission Impossible film. But then watching this again, I mean, I saw it in the theater and then not even remembering it other than the big stunts that they did in it. I mean, that seems to be the only thing that sticks to my mind in this and all these. I mean, we said it throughout all these movies we've talked about, except for the first one. because I knew that one front to back. But this one was this one was awesome and I loved it. The same director comes back. Christopher McQuary, he comes back.

So that was cool because him and Tom, they worked on other things. They said they worked on that. What was that one Groundhogs Day movie they did? Edge of Tomorrow. Yeah, that one. And then they did Jack Reacher. So I thought that was cool.

They had that bond together. So they definitely can't. back because he wasn't going to come back to this one but then Tom kind of talked to him and come on man we can do it again we can do better than what we've done out of anything yeah they filmed together yeah Chris just think all the money you're gonna make oh yeah he just walked away with a pretty penny I'm sure um I don't know how how they get paid on all this um I'm sure Tom Cruise just has money falling out of his ass oh definitely other than he's a star He probably just doesn't take that big of a cut being the star because he or the producer gets more.

He probably gets percentage of the box office. He probably takes a he takes less pay up front but gets paid more in the long run. He's still got to pay for those kids. How many kids does he have like two or three? I know. I think I don't know. I know you had the couple they adopted with Nicole kids. and then he had he has three children yeah he has the one with um what's her nuts katy holmes katy holmes yeah

she escaped him in Scientology yeah I don't want to get in all that I I got to separate that wackiness from the artist nothing against any of you that that uh that are into Scientology it's just not for me um geez man the budget was what 770 78 million damn the gross uh i don't even know this number a lot because then you go into the worldwide gross it's it's more than what the it made in the u.s but just a trillion dollars let's just say that but mission impossible fallout Ethan hunt and his iMF team along with some

Familiar allies race against time after a mission gone wrong. Same director. Also, the director did write, help write it as well as Bruce Geller. And this stars, of course, Tom Cruise, Superman, well, one of the Superman, Henry Cavill. Ving Rames is back. Simon Pegg is back. Rebecca Ferguson, which was a surprise to me, seeing her name pop up on the screen after this last watch.

And same thing with Sean Harris, seeing his name. him again. I was like, whoa, whoa. And then the beautiful and lovely Angela Bissette, she's also good and everything. She pops in. And then Michelle Monaghan, is that just their last name?

Yeah. She's back. Alec Baldwin returns. Why was there no Jeremy Renner? Was he just... He is... He's... His character's somewhere in Washington. That's how I took it. Yeah, but he is

most likely busy. No, actually, I heard, I think I read this somewhere, he thought he was going to have a role in Infinity War, so he didn't take, he said he couldn't do this movie because they were filming, and they went ahead and did this movie and come to find out he didn't have a role in Infinity War. I think that's what, I swear I read how that people were talking about, how he got basically screwed out of the role. Out of two big movies. Yeah. Damn Disney and Paramount.

All right. The storyline in this one, two years after Ethan Hunt had successfully captured Solomon Lane, the remnants of the syndicate have reformed into another organization called The Apostles under the leadership of a mysterious fundamentalist known only as John Lark. The organization is planning on acquiring

and three plutonium cores. Ethan and his team are sent to Berlin to intercept them, but the mission fails when Ethan saves Luther and the apostles escape with the plutonium. With CIA agent August Walker joining the team, Ethan

and his allies must now find the plutonium cores before it's too late. That is the mission, and that's pretty much the story on what they do, and then you throw all the amazing, amazing stunts and action and the fighting in it. It was awesome. I really loved it. I mean, the story was pretty much just, again, to me, I'm not a writer, but I'm just a guy behind

his computer talking about it. I like the story. I like their mission, but you don't go to see these films for the storyline and everything. Because it's basically, like I said, they're just trying to find the potonia that they have and then they lose. And Solomon Lane is still alive and then the syndicate crew turns into the apostles. And it was all just pretty much the exact same crew from the last film. So I liked how that story led into this one because it was still dealing with, Solomon Lane. I kind of wish they wouldn't have killed off. What was

in the third one? Philip Seymour Hoffman. Yeah. I wish they would, he, if they were going to, they've never done that. I think these last two movies were the only ones where it did deal, bringing the bad guy into the next one. There, plus there's multiple bad guys in this as we go along if you guys haven't seen it, but I kind of, I loved him. I'm out of the bad guys, out of everything,

well, since this is the last one we're talking about, out of all the bad guys, I liked him the best. Not just because it was Philip Seymour Hoffman. I just thought he was more ruthless and didn't care. There really wasn't that much of a story behind him on why he was so ruthless. I thought he just,

other than you didn't see him as that type of character and he pulled it off so good. So, but I mean, I really loved all that. But, I mean, I love the, what was going on in this, minus the big stunts and everything. But to bring Henry Cavill into this

Superman, which he had to go back and do some reshoots for Justice League. And while they were filming this, and if you guys know, if you've seen this film, he did have the little stubble and the mustache.

And I guess he might have had a break. And they said, hey, we need you to do some more Superman stuff, but couldn't shave his beard. I didn't know this story until after I saw Justice League, so I didn't I watched the film. It was what

it was. I enjoyed it. I know a lot of people didn't, but... Did you notice it in the film? Or did you have to go back and look? I think when we reviewed it, Philip swears, he just couldn't take his eyes off it. And I

never noticed it when I watched the movie. I watched the movie a couple times. I've never noticed it. I've only seen it in like screenshots online. Yeah, I didn't either. I mean, I noticed it after everyone was talking about it. I mean, but when I first saw Justice League, I didn't, I didn't know that happened. Yeah, I saw all the screenshots first, and then I said, okay, once the Blu-ray came out, I threw it in.

And you, if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't have noticed it. But now that we all know, you do notice it. So you're like, yeah, okay, it does look weird. Yeah, and he could have had a beard, Justice League. I mean, Superman, spoiler, Superman was dead. He could have came back with a beard, and I don't know. I just, it was weird. Yeah, yeah, I mean, he had a beard and the Man of Steel, so why couldn't he have one in this?

I don't know. We'll see what happens in Zach Snyders, because we do. I damn hype that he is coming with the black suit, which I thought was awesome. Yeah, me too. uh henry cavil is august walker i like henry cavil period i mean i don't enjoy every movie he's done i didn't like man from uncle or whatever that was i but it wasn't his fault um so it was cool i was super psyched uh when i found out that he was going to be in this and he was going to join the team uh i thought he

was replacing uh, uh, Jeremy Renner's character. Um, I was listening to this one show where they were talking about this film. Um, if Henry Cavill wasn't in it and Jeremy Renner was, they were,

they were talking about what if we were already fans of Jeremy Renner for the, from the last two films he was in, knew he was a good guy, but then actually find out that he was, uh, a bad guy. Uh,

Wow. That would have been neat to see, but we didn't. I don't know if that was there. It might have just been the show I was listening to on what they were thinking of because they did go into it sucked that he wasn't in it. Yeah, I mean, you can still do that though because this new group is called what the apostles. Yeah. So there's going to be more than one. So you never know. This could this could have been something they were good. going to do and maybe saved it for for because we know we know seven's coming so this could be something that happens I don't know how did this one begin

I don't even remember um uh this one started with uh well this one this is two years later after they captured him and um this uh you have the shootout

because um Hunt and Benji are and Bing Ram's character Luther, they are doing in exchange for plutonium. And the situation kind of gets all messed up because there's a shootout that happens. And this is where Hunt basically has to choose. Is he going to go for the plutonium and let Luther die because Luther gets captured and they want to plutonium or they're going to kill him? and he chooses to save his friend, which he saves Luther by shooting him twice in the chest,

assuming that he had a vest on. And through all the commotion, somebody takes the plutonium, and that's pretty much the beginning. The very, very beginning is when we see Ethan and his wife, where we find out it's his ex-wife.

Oh, the dream? Yeah, the dream. Of them two standing on, I don't know where they were, but it looked awesome. It looks like they were having a wedding again, but then we hear, we don't we see the preacher of the back, but we hear Solomon Lane's voice. Because he starts saying, well, you honor and lover and this and that and protect her from evil, and it's your fault because of this. And then he turns, and you should have killed me. And then there's a big explosion and then the blast. Oh, okay.

The nuclear blast hits them and they turn into skeletons. I thought that was really cool. Yeah, and he wakes up and they're in Belfast. Yeah, we did that, what takes place from the... Uh, yes, Belfast. We didn't even mention, um, they explained in the previous one in Rogue Nation why he's not with his wife anymore. Because if we remember, uh, or they basically said that after four, he, um, he tried to leave the, the life again and be with his wife but every time something went wrong in the world he would

always wonder would that have happened if i was there and then she basically was like while you're here keeping me safe you could be keeping the world safe and so they basically be it was like a mutual thing that they not be together anymore and kind of skipped over that part so because yeah because we he did see saw her at the end of um uh uh Ghost Protocol, right? Remember when she was... Yeah. When they were in Seattle?

Okay, he saw her at the end of that. Yeah. For some reason, I thought they were still an item at that point. Yeah, and we get the kind of the hinted relationship between him and Elsa and this one. I don't see why not. I mean, he... Well, it's not like he had time to get down, but... He ain't married no more, so.

so he was still in the in the mission but okay so after the the the um the dream sequence when he's in belfast is when he gets the mission when they explain that uh this doctor has this and the potoliums out there and the the this is when they explain who the apostles are and they're the ones that are going to get it and they're going to get they're going to make three bombs and blow them up all over the place. I loved that that was the mission. That kind of just basically just explained what was happening. There was no really any kind of side secret stuff we didn't know later on. That's I mean I think that's what I mean I don't want to say they half asked the story but there was just they just give you the full plot in the beginning and then we want to see

the action and the the impossible mission up to this point because then that's when we go into the to the the the little fuck up mission part with the

trying to get the plutonium from who were they they were just a little they weren't a part of the apostles were they? You had the potonium? The white widow and her brother

no the the guys that had the potonium first before it got taken oh they were just somebody that stole it that's it they weren't they were no bodies they were just scrubs okay basically so they have that mission and and uh basically the apostles are the ones that show up and uh foil the whole uh exchange so that happens and then we They're kind of like, oh, fuck. What are we going to do? Because then that's when Alec Baldwin kind of comes in. He's getting, then we're also introduced to Agile Bisset her character. What was her name in this? I don't even remember. She was the head of the CIA.

Yeah, she was director of Central Intelligence, Erica Sloan. All right, yeah, it was her and her henchmen, basically her number one assassin. and the say later in the film was Superman. I like how he kept introducing himself to everybody and nobody really gave a shit. He would always like, my name is Walker. And they're just like, yeah, okay.

Yeah, he was basically the muscle of all that. So what they do, after the whole thing is spoiled, they kind of, well, we can get get it. We can do it. And that's when Albaolo was telling, look, all right, well, you guys better. Because my ass is on the line because he, he's the head of the, um, MIA and MIA, the, um,

IMF. I'm F. M.A. Uh, he's, he's, he's the head of the I at the IMF now. So, they're going, all right, well, we, we can do what we get, we got to do. Because they find out that the doctor that like I guess basically made those bombs or whatever where he he had oh do we skip it already because remember the

the Russian doctor guy they had that was in the hospital room yeah that was after the exchange in the beginning that went wrong yeah because that's when they told him they said all right well we need you to give us the codes and information and everything because he

had it all on his phone. That's what I'm amazed about these. It was obviously an iPhone because that seems to be the only phone that everyone uses. But he's like, especially dealing with the pass codes. That to me was probably like

a true thing. I'm sure they can get hacked, but I think it's like, from what I know, it's near to impossible to do it. Pun intended for Mission Impossible. Because they couldn't do it. Only that guy, that doctor knew the code, but they had to basically trick him because

he's in his room and it kind of comes to and there's a big TV in there, CNN. And the one the news guy, Wolf the Belzer, him, he's the CNN dude talking about, there's been three explosions. I can't remember exactly where I want to say, wherever the Vatican is in some other places they're saying that these these bombs went off

and Ethan's like really mad like do you better fucking tell me what's going to happen you better tell us the code for this phone so we can figure anything out but then they were saying that there was some kind of paper or whatever that Ned that they wanted to get out to be a I guess was he like one of the apostles one of the helpers of them I think so I think basically it was like a manifesto like

of explaining their terrorist acts and he wanted to be read on the news to distract fear and everybody. Yeah, so they kind of make this deal. He goes, look, if you get them to, this is what the doctor was. If you get them to read this on the air, I'll open up my phone and give you the, all the info you know. So they handed, like, okay, Ethan gets on his phone calls. All right, yeah, go for it.

And then the news guy breaks into it and says, oh, I got. this is just handed to me. I got to read this so he starts reading their demands and everything. So that doctor's sitting there all happy and laughing around. And then Ethan goes, all right, let's do it. And then the walls fall down, which I loved. I thought that was awesome. I usually see stuff like this coming, but I did not see that coming.

So I thought that was awesome how they tricked him into it. That was the first time watch. I kind of do remember that scene as it was going along. but I thought that was really cool because the walls fall down. You see that the news set up stage back there and he's looking around like, oh, what the fuck? And then, uh,

then, uh, then, uh, then, uh, I immediately knew that that was Simon Pegg. Because he's so fascinated with the whole mass things.

I was, I was so happy for him. He finally gets to wear a mask. Yeah, because all the other times, something always happened to where they couldn't. So. That was awesome.

It was just, that was his introduction. No, no, it wasn't. It was after the mission. But it was cool to see him finally pull it off and see the, the big grin on his face.

So I thought that was cool. So we do find out that they didn't, they didn't detonate those bombs yet and everything. So, what was on that phone? What did they need? I think it was, see,

this is that thing again. Like, it should be so easy to follow but it's not I think it was a location of where the other plutonium is because that's when we get

go ahead or was it the their John Lark or whoever they were searching for because after that when they got the information they said okay that we needed to go to Paris

because that's when they were going to do the deal with the blonde chicken, Dr. Brone Crusher, whatever that big brute guy's name was. Oh, yeah, it was. It was where the lock guy was going to meet up with the White Widow, and that's why they ended up going to Paris, to that nightclub. I loved that the White Widow was the daughter of Max from the first Mission Impossible film.

when we find that out i was hoping max was going to pop up into it i was like that would for me as a fan of the first one i would have been like oh yeah so they kind of just got me a little excited but then we never got to see her unless they mentioned that she died i don't i don't know what but they that was her daughter so i thought that was pretty sweet because when they go to that uh deal to where it was gonna where it was going to go down um they didn't know who John Lark, what John Lark looked like. So that's when they went in there and they had that big, I thought this, out of all the fight scenes in all six of these films,

I thought this was the best one. I don't know who the gentleman was. It was the one that they thought was Lark, because he just put it down as Lark Decoy, which obviously just the wrong. They fucked with the wrong dude. The actor's name is Liyang Yang. I think that's his name.

and man they because they went into the into the bathroom Superman Walker and he's Superman he's Superman yeah

he's not my Superman but he is Superman there's only one Superman that's Christopher Reeve everybody anyway rest in peace so he they were standing on both sides of him and then that's when they kind of just sprung into action

and just man he was bringing it to him he was whooping that ass and i thought that was awesome uh choreography and it's again shout out to tom cruise he that was him right there fighting with him and getting thrown all around and then Superman jumps into the mix there that throat punch was awesome there was one scene i was just kind of like um how the lock guy uh pulls that pipe out under the sink that seemed a little too easy he just ripped that pipe out well all the adrenaline flowing through him these guys these two guys trying to kill him he didn't know man he just yeah i mean and the thing i've messed around with sinks trying to fix a wannabe plumber trying to fix things in my house i don't know any pipe shape like that but okay but it was cool yeah i i

I understand because he just just grabbed it and it didn't look like he pulled much force and yeah it just came right off and and even even though uh even though walker gets knocked out here near the end of the fight I love that scene where he did essentially like like he like his arms are guns and he kind of does that like he cocks them before he's about to throw punches I love that scene right there yeah man he that guy brung it to him because he was just kicks elbows everything and

when Walker walked up on tried to jump into it and he just bro-punched him at all that stuff of being beat that's the that's the one that put him to his knees because he just and then fell and then Ethan was there who was the one that threw him through the the mirror that was Ethan all right

um Tom cruises isn't that tall of a guy he's like five seven uh but man he he's got the strength um and whoever did that stunt i'm sure i assume that this uh this young asian gentleman is a stunt guy because he

wash went through uh that uh that mirror all the way through to the other side so i thought that was awesome so just when they're about to uh uh get it um they they end up knocking him out and then they fall into the uh or they go into the um into the stall.

I love this part. This part was funny because Ethan, Superman and the the Lark Decoy are in there and they're trying to... Oh, he got knocked out by when Superman hit him with the laptop. Yeah, the thing they used

to make the mask, he used that to knock him out. But when they opened it, the screen was shattered and they just couldn't get a read out. But when they were in there, you just see their feet. under the under the stalls and then these other guys was that like a rave or something that they went into i guess that's this scene was weird they're just i don't know if i there's a bunch of dudes in a stall

i'm just kind of i'm leaving that situation alone but they were all knocking on it talking about oh let us in you know we don't bite it's like i just leave it alone i don't know i just but that was funny i was hoping they would all got in no big old fight but that there was none of that. But while Superman and Ethan are arguing around about you broke the laptop, the Asian guy wakes up and then they get into another battle and he's just about to kill them. And this is when someone fires and shoots the Asian guy. And then we see that it's Elsa. She's back.

And I remember the first time was like, oh, yeah, she's back. And that was really cool. but they needed that guy because which they thought was lark and it wasn't but they were they were gonna make a mask out of him yeah she shot him in the face yeah i love that scene she was like can you still make a mask and ethan was like i need a face to make a mask and i'm like damn did you just blow his whole face off they they did because when they don't show it i wish they would have but when you when they see them dragging them when they see him dragging the body out of the way, all that blood that's on the floor.

It was like a huge puddle there. Oh, and then the people walk in and they're making it seem like Walker had a nose bleed or some crazy shit. Yeah. But that's when they realized that this isn't who we were, who we were looking for. And then I think that we,

after this scene, Were we introduced to the white, the white what? The white widow. Yeah. Are we introduced to her? Yeah. And right between this scene, this is where the hinted relationship comes in because he tells her you shouldn't have came back into this life. And she tells him, well, you should have came with me.

So that's where you get to hinted that they had some kind of relationship. And yeah, they go meet the white widow. after this he's basically posing as the lark guy hoping that they don't know what he really looks like and that's when they get the introduction to her and i forget the brother's name uh because he he automatically doesn't trust Ethan or at this they think is lark so he he crushed it and we did i assume somewhere in between uh the the last film yeah Because when she left in the last one, she told her, you know how to find me. Okay.

Well, he obviously smashed and then she cut out. All right, cool. Not to be the male chauvinist pig, I thought he was going to get, what's her face? The wet widow. Vanessa Kirby? Yeah, she ended up kissing him when they were. I think one of the last times that they met before the whole, was it the heist? Yeah.

Yeah, I think right before that and everything, because after they do make all the things, okay, this is what you're going to do, you need to go get them. Solomon's going to be here. Superman goes to meet up with Angela Bassett to tell her, to tell, he tells her what's happening. And that's when she was telling. on them to just you know what just kind of hang in there and we'll we'll figure this all out because he was he was the double agent I guess well they knew who he was working for but he was going back telling her telling her everything that was happening and she was

telling him the opposite stuff because she was the villain well not really the villain but she was the one that's trying to stop Ethan and IMF like I said and the other ones There's always someone trying to stop Ethan, so they had to pick her. I'm glad they got her. I thought she was a good, strong character, and she's pretty good and everything she's in. So I was happy to see her.

I was really happy to see that she's Black Panthers mom, so that was tight. Hopefully she comes back in the next one. But she can play that good, and then she can play that, badass bitch and that's absolutely she was in this one so

that of when they're going to who had who had Lane that they had to get him from because that's when they had to team up with the widow and on her crew I think it was

go ahead was it British intelligence or one of them they had him I think it was the what was it the MI6 Oh, that's right. Yeah, they had him. Because where were they taking him? I think they were just transporting him.

And then when they came up with this whole plan with the white widow's brother on breaking him out, I think that's when Ethan realized there was going to be a lot of officers or agents that were going to die. And he was basically trying to not let that happen. I think they were just transporting him somewhere. who who was else working for because she was hired to kill uh solomon lean i thought that's that thing again that i get confused i thought she was i thought she was working with m i thought they brought her back and why well i'm sure she's just following orders to get here's your mission kill him because later on when when she does attempt to shoot them once once they get a hold of

of them. I'll go back to that scene in quick, but because she was shooting at him when the Ethan and his crew had everybody in that little car and a little BMW. I did love the scene when Simon Pegg, Benji's like,

was it your responsibility to get the small car because you got a big Superman? And then you got what was his name in Pulp Fiction? God damn it. Which one? you got uh ving rames what was his name in pulp fiction uh you guys know you guys know he is but those two guys are two big gentlemen other than uh superman's tall and uh ving rames is a is a big guy as well

so and simon pig was smashed in the middle but um that's that out that so that that's how uh because she shot she would she just she was just shooting at uh at lane because later um uh they were like well she was trying to kill us and ethen was like no man she was she's just she her mission is to kill him not us and that because they were all like we can't trust her she she's working for someone else and she's not doing what we're trying to do so that's why they were unsure Ethan was sure uh of her marcellus yeah marcells wallis yeah sorry though it was killing me because they would say that they just couldn't trust her but then Ethan after he stabbed it he figured he knew he could so but that that scene which was

obviously Sean Harris in that scene because he's in the back of one of those trucks and they were supposed to transferring them but then I don't know this that was cool stunt driving because that big rig just comes around a corner and then just flips over right in front of them I mean obviously they they could those police officers figured well, this is something, someone trying to get this guy. Kind of reminded me like the dark night of how they had to leave the top ground to go underground to try to transport them. And the exact same stunt too, because that big semi hit the paddy wagon and it goes falling into the little waterfront in Chicago. But in like this one, same thing.

They go slamming into the car and it falls into the water. And that stunt, that was Sean Harris in there because he was in a straight jacket and then the little truck that he was in was filling up with water. And he just held his breath. I don't ever want to know that. I mean, I almost got stuck under one of a pier swimming under at one time. My foot kind of got wrapped around and some weeds under water. But I do not want to know that. And obviously there was a scuba guys there with air tanks to rush over and give him air.

But man, that's props to him for doing that stunt. Because a million things can go wrong. Obviously, he was safe and everything because they got all the professionals working for him. So I did love that scene. But once they got him out through him in the car, out, it was just him. And Ethan mobbing in that car and just hauling ass down those small little narrow streets of Paris I believe that's where they were at. And I know that Tom

Cruz has to just work with stunt drivers constantly because in the last few films that was him hauling ass in those cars. So I thought that one was like it in the film before because Simon Pegg was with Tom Cruz in the car and he was all the little cracks he was making was hilarious

but Lane and this one wasn't saying nothing. He was just enjoying the ride. He had a little conversation once he's seen it was Ethan when they took the mask off he was like oh it's nice to see you again Ethan and then he'd realize it was Elsa he was like oh is that Elsa too this is like the whole gang was back together but uh i like i like tell that and uh did they stick the thing in his neck before all that happened uh no the they they put the they put a um some kind of patch over it to jam the jam the frequency oh that's right and then they because he uh yeah yeah

because uh we we didn't mention that he had a tracker in his neck and they scanned his neck seeing it was a tracker didn't have time to mess with it at that point and put a some kind of patch over it that that jammed a frequency so after all that thing they have them and then um Ethan went to meet up with Elsa to figure out what the hell's going on and that's when he finds out that she was out to kill him and who she was working for and all that

so they got to show all that but that after that scene is when they realize they um Ethan kind of had the wheels turning about a walker that they really couldn't trust him.

So that's when they did that little setup with, they were gonna, they had Solomon tied up and they were gonna go, because they were supposed to take him to the White Widow, right? Yeah. So they,

they goes, okay, well, you watch him and we're gonna go deal with it because what they said is that we're gonna make a mask for Benji, put it on put it on him and we're going to go give Benji to the White Willow and that Benji was like, well, what if she kills me?

And then they go, well, I don't think so. We'll get to that if it happens. So they told Superman, here, you just stay and watch the real Solomon Lane. And so that's when they sit there and they take off and he's sitting there talking to him

and then Superman starts kind of going into it and Lane's talking to him. Tell him the whole plan is this is when we find out that they tricked Superman, that he is actually the lark guy that they're looking for. So that they find out, we find out he's the bad dude. We kind of saw that coming. So, I mean, what ruined it for me, I knew he was going to be a bad guy in this.

He was on some talk show or something, and I guess it kind of slipped out. So I was like, man, I think it would have been a better reveal to, know that he was going to be the the bad guy if I didn't didn't know but I was I already knew he was the bad guy so I kind of ruined it for me one one good thing about this scene Benji gets to wear another mask that was cool man I mean he he did put it together because he was done this is all what you guys want to do you guys just want to run around and and play Halloween with masks and that's when he like it snapped him like oh fuck and he walked over to him and pulled it off and it was Benji.

So I didn't see that coming the first time, but I thought it was awesome. So luckily he didn't just shoot Benji right then. But then Ethan and them, they were nearby. So they came out. Alec Baldwin's character was also there. Yeah. So they told him. Because he had,

he had Angela Bassett on the phone when all this was going on. So he not only confessed to all of them, he confessed to her as well. So when all that happened, was it the apostles that showed up? I think the way I'm kind of taking this as I have to use like a Marvel reference. The apostles was kind of like Hydra and the other side was Shield and how they had Hydra within Shield. because the extra men come in to take everybody away because Angela Bassett's basically like, I'm bringing everybody in

and we're going to work this out when you guys get to Washington and kind of Walker makes a signal and then the guys that were with him that were mixed in started shooting the other agents. So they killed all them and then he got away and then right before all that, that's when, um, um,

um, was it, uh, Walker who stabbed uh uh alec Baldwin yeah because uh alec was giving him them hands for a second and then uh walk and pulled out the knife and stabbed him in the stomach yeah because we saw him pull out all his gear earlier because he what his plan was when he what he thought was uh was solomon he was pulling out all his little torture devices but well it looked like he was just kind of drug him up with some kind of truth serum to make him talk but then That's when he figured out.

It was Benji. And then all that, the shootout and everything started happening. And then Alex Baldwin got shanked. And then that's what pissed off Ethan. Because that little heartwarming scene right before he dies, he kind of just take care. And that's it. Lights out for him.

That kind of sucked. I wish he, if he was going to die, maybe die at the end. Yeah. Yeah, it, it, it sucks to have this position. It really does. The thing that was funny, though, would they really have the head guy? I mean, go into dangerous situations. I mean, I think I would send the second in command or whatever into all this, and I would be sitting there on my desk.

They could have sent in Jeremy Renner. Yeah. But, um, it's, it's all in the story, everyone. Yeah, that, that was, I felt bad. I mean, that was, that was sucky that, uh, that he got taken out. Um, but yeah, man, he was bringing it to Superman for a minute. And then, and then he got, she got, Superman tricked or, uh, cheated and shanked him. Um, um, so where did it go after that?

Um, right before Walker gets away, uh, Bing Rames and, him with that tracker in his neck and then he also injects one into Ethan and then we you know we had to get it in this uh that Ethan run that chase down scene where he's uh running up go ahead that was awesome yeah running after uh Superman and then uh I loved how uh plus he was getting chased by the um was it the CIA guys or were those apostles or all of them? No, it was the apostles that were chasing him. Well, he kind of, Benji kind of asked him who's chasing you. Is it them? Is it their people or is it the other people? And he said it kind of at this point, it didn't really matter. I think everybody was kind of chasing him.

And as he's chasing him, he catches up to him at one point, and that's when Walker reveals that he has his picture of his wife and basically tells him, I'm her guardian angel. so if I see you again she's dead and he still ends up chasing after him and we get the scene that

is very memorable to me because this is when he jumps out the window to the roof of the other building and he breaks his ankle for real and they leave the scene in the movie because as he's walking away you see him limping yeah

because I watched how they did that I guess he did it a couple times and I guess the first time he did it, like knocked the wind out of him. So he was like, all right, I'm going to try to do something to kind of slow his slam into the building. That's when he stuck his foot out. I think it was his right foot to kind of take most of the impact. And I guess that wasn't a good idea because you see his foot fold. And that was the shot that's in the film when he actually breaks his ankle or whatever.

So, but yeah, man, because when he, this is what Tom Cruise said, he said when he did it, he realized it was broken, but he was like, fuck, man, he's like, I gotta get to get the scene. That's why he kept going. And then, yeah, like you see him limp. So his leg is broken.

He goes, I just had to make sure I got out of the camera range before he fell to the ground. I don't know how much time he took off to heal. I mean, obviously, he had to take weeks for that to heal because he was up and running around again. I don't think it was a clean break. I think it was more of just a fracture. I mean, that still hurts because he was hauling ass still after he healed up. But I don't know, man.

He's probably the true Superman because he did it. He didn't break character. he didn't break this mess up the scene just because he broke his ankle he kept on going man so he's true trooper that's dedication yeah that that whole scene though of him running man like again that just that wore me out he was hauling ass on the roofs that i love that scene because they because he was going all right go left go right and then he's like what and then he was like what he goes well what's left he goes a window and he goes was where are you?

And then that's when he was like, whoops, I had it in the, the 2D version or whatever. So he was just looking straight down. He didn't realize that he was in a building. So I thought that was cool. That's why I love that they kept Simon Pegg in it

for all the comic relief, because I thought every time he was on something dealing with him, it was always funny. And he always had, he never doubted Ethan, but he, every now and then he did, he kind of doubted him.

But he always knew. Bing Ray was the only one. knew that he it's Ethan he's gonna he's gonna do it so I don't know that was awesome but after that scene yeah when Superman got away is when we we go to where were they where did they go to us cashmere because they find out that the the bombs are going to a medical camp essentially the if it if the bombs detonated they were going to contaminate the water to, I believe, India, Pakistan, and China. Okay, so they go there and they're trying to basically find the bombs and disarm them

because they figure out how to do it. And the only way they could disarm them was the countdown. They had to be going. They had to be active in the countdown start. That was the only way they were able to bypass the security stuff and then pull out whatever that little thing was to stop the bombs because there was two of them um they they got the third little thing of the plutonium right the white widow had it okay yeah that's right she had it so they were just trying to get the other two but then once they get to the little medical

camp is when they find out that this is where um uh Ethan's ex-wife what was her name Her character name. What the fuck was it? Julia. Yeah, there you go. All right, because we get there and we see that she's working there in this camp and we find out that she's married to

Eric is Wes Bentley. This guy's weird. Wait, wait, I was just like, what the hell is West Bentley doing in this movie? I mean, good for him, man. he's in a big huge summer blockbuster but yeah that one just like surprised me when he he popped up on the screen i was like whoa wait a minute uh okay he looks like a villain all the time uh the first thing i saw him in was american beauty and he was just a weird old kid next door but uh i liked him in a p2 did you see that one when he was the villain in that one oh in the parking garage yeah yeah i seen that one i liked him in that one so but it was kind of a shocker really that he came walking in because he just got that evil look in his face like oh but he's trying to be nice the nice husband and you do you think he knew that uh him and his

uh Ethan and his wife had something going on yeah because later on uh near the end of the movie he's uh as he's walking away he was like um you uh i'll see you later doctor because he is introduced as a doctor and he just kind of says it like okay I know you're not a doctor and I know you were slamming my wife or so they figure out that and then kind of Ethan and Julie are having their knowing that they still loved each other but they just couldn't be together because of Ethan's line of work but while they were trying to do that the rest of the crew Luther Benji

and Elsa are going to go run and look for the bombs we find out the Superman and his crew are there and Solomon is also there Here's a question Was Solomon just going to go out with a bang And he didn't want He was just going to die because

I think that was his plan I think he wanted He wanted them to be there So He would take out everything and I think that's how just how crazy he was and i think that's why walker had that detonator with him the but the remote so he can be somewhere else in case it something went down because he he knew that he wanted to kill uh julia yeah so he figured i'll kill her and i'll just die in the process so

uh my mission is is done that that's pretty much what he want and kill millions of people with uh the the water supply and everything with all the radiation and So we get that deal. They're running around. They find Luther finds the first bomb. It looked like it was a cell tower or some kind of radio tower. They figure that's where it was. So he brings it down and he starts to see he goes to work.

Benji and also go running around trying to find the next one. And then we see the Superman is leaving in the helicopters. Well, these are the only ways out of that. little valley they were in for those three helicopters so let's let's take these and go and uh so they get it and then Ethan goes running and jumps onto uh one of the the little ropes uh that's one of the helicopters and again with the just amazing stunt work of him of yes he's harnessed up with wires and everything and they erase them all but that's still an amazing stunt to shimmy up that rope I don't know how fast those helicopters are going and it looked like they were hella high.

What was that load they were carrying? That little ball thing that he fell on. I think it was just supplies. They were they were just posing as a regular supply drop. Something for him to fall on, I guess. Whenever they filmed this was all during the winter because Thomas said it was cold. And even the directors and everything, because they were. following behind them with other cameras.

And they were saying, man, he's out on hanging, dangling on the rope, climbing up. Basically just Ethan was going to go getting that helicopter and try to stop Superman from getting away or basically get the little detonator. Is that what it was, the detonator or was it that was, no, that was the thing that they had to pull out that would help them stop it, right? A little walkie-talkie-looking thing? oh that was what what Walker had yeah yeah it basically they could disarm the bomb

but he could still detonated with that remote because they said that's when I said you had to pull out that one little knob thing yeah first then I can cut the wires and stuff that's right so he took off with that and even hanging on to the rope and then trying to get it to the to the helicopter hanging on but then lost his grip and fell all the way to that little ball or whatever that load was and then him dangling on the bottom other than he just must have the strength of a million men because I don't know why he's not so tired and when did they sleep during all this when they're on the plane rides to where they're trying to get it doesn't it doesn't seem like it

I mean, this is all, this all obviously time-wise in the movie was within days and weeks and everything. But again, that stunt, man. You see him all rigged up and everything, but they were just worried. I mean, this could happen, that could happen.

But nothing did, thank goodness. But it was an amazing scene. And all this was an IMAX. I noticed watching it. on my TV how it was just kind of the black bars on the top and bottom and watching the special features they said they only used the iMacs cameras twice in this we forgot to talk about the uh the the halo drum in the beginning of the film when uh superman and and ethan jumped out of at uh have that big airplane yeah uh superman got struck by yeah uh that's done right there before i go i go

back to the helicopter one but that stunt too man they showed how that that was tom cruise that jumped out of the uh airplane and that was that was all him floating through the air wasn't superman they got some other stunt guy to do it but they had to build special helmets in order to have that light for his helmet to light up and look all fancy looking that that's not just something you can i'll take one of those mission impossible helmets and go jump now that it was also the built for them and it had to be certified as safe for the type of jump that they were doing and everything I mean it was they had to go by the book they didn't just make it look cool or throw it on him and I jump out of this airplane I mean it was all really specially made stuff for him that had to

be tested to make sure it can handle the jump and everything so and the thing that I loved about that scene was Tom Cruise had to practice because they said you had to be three feet in front of that camera in order to it be a good focus, a good shot. So while he was in practicing that stunt to see how to know that feel of how far, because they said once they got in the air and he came down and did slide up to that camera, he knew exactly when to kind of slop it's slow down because the camera was mounted onto the the other diver's helmet and that guy was saying I couldn't see any monitor he said he was just moving his head hopefully he was getting Tom Cruise in the shot and and it worked and plus that I think the hardest part for that camera guy

was to actually jump backwards out of that airplane and keep Tom Cruise in the shot I mean, they, they did so much, I think they did the most stuff out of all six films in this one to get these amazing stunts that Tom Cruise did. So, I mean, I just, my hat goes off to all those stunt people, the divers, everybody that made to do just that one scene. I thought that was awesome. So, but back to the helicopter. Same thing. He's rigged up and everything and the weather was cold. They were even talking about Henry Cowell.

saying like he was a real trooper because he was in another helicopter that was him in in there because when that when that whole chase scene when Ethan's chasing uh Superman and whoever was flying that part that other the other pilot of that helicopter um other than that was Tom cruise flying that helicopter I don't think anyone was in there with him it seemed like the during the making it was just they had cameras up in the front and the cameras in the back scene focusing in on him it It looked like it was just him in that helicopter. I believe it. Because I feel like in the new top gun movie, I feel like that's him flying a jet.

No, they said that wasn't him. I watched a little making all that. But I wouldn't say it wasn't him. But they said, no, that was actual real. I don't know, Navy pilots flying those jets that he's in. I can't wait to see that. And of course, we're going to cover that. The first one sucks, but I'm sure this next top gun.

two is going to be better. First one's classic. Zero. Anyway, not quite zero. I'll give it like a two. Anyway, nine. Going back to the Iron Eagle,

that's a 10, everyone. If you want a good action jet movie Iron Eagle, Top Gun was all love and taking me a breath away and all that other shit. Anyway. So him climbing up onto that rope and it all being all cold. and back to Superman him. They said he was a trooper

because he was flying around hanging out of the side, shooting whatever that machine gun was. And they said he never complained on how cold it was because the director and all those guys flying in another helicopter

which was closed up. They were like, God damn, it was cold. And I couldn't imagine how those two actors felt. Tom hanging out under the helicopter and everything. I thought that son was awesome.

But yeah, that was him flying that. helicopter. They said he learned it took him like two years to learn how to fly helicopter and they were really scared especially I guess he did some kind of court screw dive in

one of the scenes. I thought it was going to be like yes he's in the helicopter and maybe there was another pilot sitting there in a green suit actually flying the plane but no they're flying a helicopter they said no that was

him. The whole it was all him flying a helicopter and they were just worried about again this could go wrong that can go wrong and nothing did but they got all the shots but I thought that was awesome though how

Henry Cavill was hanging out of the side just shooting that gun I think what made that the machine gun awesome is the tracers that they were using because you can see all the tracer bullets flying at him did he even hit the helicopter no

oh thanks He might have because I remember at one point his engine started smoking. So I don't know if it was from him the way he was flying it or if he got hit by Walker. Tom Cruise said all those noises he was making. He was going, whoa! Ha! He said that was, he goes, it wasn't really acting. He goes, yeah, I was acting, but he goes, I was really like making those noises because I was.

I guess just doing stuff that he's not used to flying in a helicopter. But he obviously had to train with professionals to do what he did to be the helicopter pilot. So I thought that was amazing. But I thought that was cool because, I mean, anyway, I don't know much about helicopters, but I sure once your engine starts to burn it up, I'm sure it would just slow down. But he ended up catching him. I kind of wish that he dropped that load

onto the propellers because that's what he was going for but he missed I thought that would have been an awesome stunt but he ends up slamming into that helicopter and then they go falling and getting into that big old fight

and that I didn't buy that fight but I didn't buy them surviving the crash and happened to be falling out of the wreckage yeah I mean luckily

they fell right on one of the flattest parts they could fall on crash on because but I mean it was a cool stunt I mean but yeah I don't think they were to survive that crash two helicopters falling out of the sky

and I didn't know why they didn't just jump out right when they first crashed why didn't they just unbuckle and jump out because they just kind of sat there for a minute and then that's when the no, Ethan stopped at the edge

and Walker's helicopter pilot was dead and it started to slide and roll and then it hit Ethan's and that's when they both went over the edge and luckily they fell into that one little crevice that happened to be there just tight enough for both of those helicopters to lodge their way in there. How'd they get out of that? Did they fall or did they climb up? The mountain?

or or when they they's between the little crevices is that what you're talking about yeah after they the the helicopters got lodged into the mountain did they crawl back to the top and then get into the fight yeah they go down no they fell down and the flat part was after this part they fell down and they were rolling down across the flat part and somehow they were thrown out safely onto the flat part and that's when the helicopters went over okay because

the Walker like he must have scraped his face on the no he got the rocks or was it that the hot fluids from the one of the holes it sprayed him in the face and what hose was that that's on the inside of the

helicopter I don't know much about helicopters, but I'm pretty sure there's no hot cords, tubes or whatever, in where you're sitting. It's a movie. That fight scene was kind of weak, I thought.

I think you weren't really, like, they didn't really, they were just kind of, they were already beat the hell in time. Yeah. So I think that's probably why the fight wasn't all that, but they ended up falling over the edge. and hanging on.

I loved how Walker was holding on to Ethan's leg and he was just booting him to the face. But all this while that was going on, the timer is still going, and for those bombs to blow up.

And I loved how Benj, no, we skipped over that whole scene of Benji and Elsa actually finding the second bomb. Yeah. Because Luther, Luther pretty much had his ready to

do what they had to do to stop it with the help of Julia because she runs up and what can I do to help so she helps him get to that point to where they can cut the wire but and mind you, all this is happening in 15 minutes

because I believe that was the timer you had them running around Benji and Elsa fighting with Solomon and getting hung and she was tied up and they all she well no she broke

out because once Benji had Solomon's attention because when they were fighting before he put that rope around his neck and hung him she like threw herself back and broke out of the chair and then she got into that big old fight and she threw the glass bottle up to Benji

and he starts cutting but then that was kind of rough though because you could see him starting to lose it because he was dangling by his neck. How did she kill Solomon? She didn't. She choked him out unconscious. It was basically she was trying to get him out unconscious as fast as she could

because she's seen Benji was about to go out. And as soon as she choked him out, she jumped up and cut him down before you can die. That's right. So he's still alive. so there's possibility he can come back in the seventh film yeah um i don't think i hope not because it'll just be this all over again because he's captured and then he gets away and yeah i don't know we'll see what happens but uh so yeah ethen and uh superman are fighting he and he's up booting him in and then he falls and know that uh that cable was hooked onto the rock

and that after he boots him in the face and that breaks that goes far falling in the why did the helicopter blow up then when it fell out when it fell out of the sky the first couple of times what it blows up and then uh superman goes falling into the flames the hook catches him in the face and pulls him down because remember they were they were climbing up the side of the rock and Ethan yanks on the cable and the hook comes and just catches uh walker right in the face I'm sure. Hopefully that killed him. He didn't feel the slam into the mountain and then falling into that ball of fire. He'll be back in seven. So during all this, Luther and Benji are like, well, when are we going to cut the wire to stop it? Because they had no communication with Ethan.

So they go, well, we'll do it on two. Why two? Well, we'll do it on one. And so once the timer hit one, they clipped it. I love that scene because when they clip it they show No, they show Ethan Hanging on the Or laying on the top or no, he was hanging on the side of the mountain

But then he had that little knob that he was supposed to pull out Out of the detonator in his mouth And then they clip the wires And then nothing blew up and that was it Was that the end or did they You get the I guess basically the last conversation

with him and Julia and she's just basically letting he's telling her I'm sorry for everything but she's telling him that she sleeps soundly at night knowing he's out there saving things and then as she walks

off like Ilsa kind of leans in and says something to her and she says something back I kind of took it as like for some reason she knew they had thing and was kind of giving her blessing kind of sort of, I don't know.

What the conversation? Can I have it? Can I have the D now? Yeah. They also probably told her I'm already getting it. Yep. So, and then it just

ended there because Ethan was just beat to hell because he was like, don't make me laugh or don't hug me. Yeah, because Benji was asking him, how close were we this time? Ethan was like real close. And then they all to laugh and he was like stop my ribs but yeah uh fall out um i'm gonna give this one a nine i just loved it

um well you know what no i change it i'm giving it a 10 i loved it a lot i mean there wasn't much in it that i didn't didn't like i mean i thought everybody in it was awesome the stunts uh they just topped the last film i mean especially dealing with the same director Christopher McQuare coming back to do this one knowing that he said we need to top what we did in the last film and I think he did it with all the stunts that happened or that they did in this me all they were all big stunts Tom Cruise flying the helicopter and breaking his ankle doing that stunt that didn't even look like it was much compared to all the other things we had him doing hanging off the side of the buildings hanging off the side of the the mountains and everything and that one little jump across. I don't know how far it was, but, and that broke his ankle. All the thing, he hanging on the side of an airplane and jumping out of airplanes. That one little thing slowed up the production of this film.

So I'll give it to him. I mean, again, with that scene of him knowing that his ankle was broken because he said he heard it and he felt it climbing up, but him to just. I got to finish the scene to limp out of the camera range. I mean, I just, I thought that was amazing.

I loved watching all the special features just to see, mainly just to see how all the stunt work was done. So I was really impressed on everything that Tom Cruise did for, to, for our enjoyment to watching all these films. And being this,

so yeah, definitely, I'm giving this one a 10. Yeah, I'm almost, with you. I'm going to give it a 9.5. I love seeing the whole cast back together again.

I'm starting to be a big fan of Rebecca Ferguson and I like the villain in this Solomon Lane. I like that they actually connected the movies. They haven't really been doing that throughout the series and they did that in this one. The stunts were amazing. All the stuff that you've been telling

us about the behind the scenes on what went through to make these stunts as to my appreciation for this movie and uh 9.5 i'm gonna give it i wished uh hopefully in the next one um they bring back either maggie q or paula patten bring them all back yeah or yeah bring them all um Out of all the female heroines and all this, which one was your favorite? Rebecca Ferguson, because I think she's, I think she'll get the job done no matter what, you know. And she just looked damn sexy, kicking ass. And, you know, she got that one move that, I call it the Black Widow move, because Black Widow does it a lot in her where she jumps up on the guy's shoulders

and wraps her legs around him and flips them. Is that like what she did in the last one when she stabbed that one dude in the head? Yeah. I thought that was awesome. She did it again when she was fighting Solomon. And I think that's when I thought she killed him. Maybe I was thinking about the other dude. Yeah, well, we didn't even mention, sorry, before we get out of that one.

They delivered Solomon to the White Widow, because essentially the White Widow, because essentially the white widow they said she was a broker and that she was going to be the one to deliver him to m i 6 so solomon is still alive and he and uh it seems like the white widow is kind of good depending on the money or what the situation is yeah she can pay to be bad or paid to be good yeah um i my favorite uh out of all the the gals in this i i'm gonna go with with Maggie Q. She's just, she was awesome in Mission Impossible 3. Is that the one she was in? I think so. Yeah. Yes. And now, I loved her

in that. I kind of wish she would have just stuck it, stuck it out. I mean, that whole crew in in, uh, in, uh, da, do, do, da, in MI3. Because, um, what's the name, Declan, Jonathan, raised Myers. Uh, I was hoping

he would come back at one point. Zane or Zay, however Maggie Key's name was, I thought she was awesome. Paula Patton, bring her back as well, bringing them all back, and I definitely hope they bring Jeremy Renner back

to all of this, but I don't know, we'll see. I am Mission Impossible 7. Let me see if there's... Okay, this is the cast. Rebecca Ferguson's coming back. Of course, Tom Cruise,

White Widow, Vanessa Kirby, she's coming back. Haley Atwell, I don't know who that is. We must have talked about this already because the last time of Rallis, I remember him. Yeah, Haley Atwell is Peggy Carter from the Marvel movies.

Okay. I like her, so definitely. She's bad. All right. I can live with that No sign of Maggie Q or Paula Patton but who knows

this is just in the planning stages so I don't know we'll see and I have mentioned last time that Nicholas Holt had joined the cast I'm looking it up right here it said Holt had to drop out due to conflicting schedules and

filming because he had something else and it's also saying that they are eyeing Bradley Cooper to play a villain or one of the villains. I think it can be like maybe a henchman to the main villain.

I don't know. We'll see. Issaim Morales. I love him in a lot of his films. This is just me hoping. I say he's going to come back and be taking Alec Baldwin's place, the head

of a IMF so maybe maybe not I don't know we'll see but that my money would be on that if I'm a betting man hopefully Jamie Renner comes back because I'm not sure did Hawkeye just get booted they're not doing it because I know the series yeah they keep going from everything I read they keep going back and forth They haven't locked down who was going to, because the show's going to revolve around his daughter. And they keep saying, I can't remember her name, the actress from Bumblebee, they keep saying she's in and then next thing I read, she's out, and the next thing I read she's in. So I think they're really trying to figure out if she's going to be in it or not.

Okay. This is news to me. I'm just clicking around. Mission Impossible, 8. okay um he uh

what's his name's coming back to direct again uh maquare you're however you say his name he's coming back uh is he directing Mission Impossible 7 yeah

I okay geez okay he's doing doing four movies uh mission that I guess possible seven supposedly coming out in 2021 and then 2022 we're getting 8 yeah it says McCory is plans on filming both movies back to back okay so that's why because a lot of the cast it's in that one they're there in this one as well so all right um my only problem with them doing movies back to back is

they might half-ass it on everything yeah I see what you're saying because that's that's what they plan on that's what they're supposed to be doing with John wig three and four is back to back I hope not I mean I mean I hope they don't mess up that one I mean I know a lot of it was just shoot them up and that's all we want to see but I'm hoping they don't mess up that story I just had to click on Maverick. See who's in that. Jennifer Connolly, yes, please.

Val Kilmer, yeah, he's Iceman, but... He don't look, he don't look right these days. His health, yeah. And John Hamm, Miles Teller, that's Goose's son, right? That's what they're saying. So would Meg Ryan be in the movie? I am looking and...

let me go to full cast because I don't I don't see why not she wouldn't be in it but man it's your priority to do do what you want to your body

but I think she messed up her face mainly pumping that stuff into her lips oh and a funny funny thing is since you mentioned Val Kilmer when we were talking about the Batman trailer

a lot of people are saying the way they made Colin Farrell look for the new Batman movie they kind of say he looks like Val Kilmer now oh damn I don't know what

what kind of health issues of Al Kilmer is dealing with I mean I think he had cancer yeah now I need to see what Colin Farrell look like they don't show much in these pictures

that are on IMDB just yeah i'll try to send you one Batman but uh mission impossible uh there you have it everyone six movies uh all in of course we loved all of them

but uh I knew there was seven was coming I didn't even know there was going to be eight and uh you're the guy that knows more uh on all this if you guys listen obviously you listen to the horror returns and you know all the the hard work that Brian here does for the network, basically. Okay, what year was that first one?

What the hell is it? The first one? The first one? Yeah. 96. Yeah. 96 was the first one 2000

for the second 2006 for the third 2011 for Ghost Protocol Rogue Nation was 2015 and then Fallout was 2018 so there was a big gap

between some of these films but my favorite is still the first one I loved it I just it was Brian De Palma. I thought it was awesome. Had no idea we're going to get

five more movies or much less seven more movies after the first one, but it's cool. The second one being the weakest. And we both said it was garbage. John Wu, man, I love you, but come on.

I guess that's it, man. We've kind of half-assed the first movie and then really witted to fallout um well that that kind of goes with what i was saying that it's rogue nation is is a good movie it's just it's not memorable as far as the story yeah i just finished fallout before we started recording this and all the extra special features that that i had to go through um okay everyone i don't know if this is going if it works or not i bought this uh steel book uh fall out whenever it came out

and I never used the digital code if you don't have the movie or if you're any interest and you want the code the first one to reach out to Brian that wants this

that wants this code I'll give it to Brian and then whoever hits him up first for it can get it because I like you said I never used it so I assume these digital codes

last forever so out of all the films I think this is the only one that I had the digital code for I don't even know what I did with the other ones but so first one that reaches out to Brian man you can have it nice yeah

tell this part of the show let the listeners know what you've got coming out we just dropped the newest episode of East Society episode 193 I believe that inching towards 200. I have no idea what we're going to do for that episode. If you're familiar with us,

we're probably in the 400s episode-wise, dealing with East Society because we have many side shows that's spinoff of the main show. But yeah, we just, what do we talk about? A bunch of TV and we talked about Peninsula that Train to Busan, Part 2, I guess, is what you want to call it. Did you see that yet? My theaters is closed. We're shut down up here. I saw it, but it is going to be in the theaters,

uh, at some places, uh, from what I understand. Uh, the theaters and, uh, well, nothing here in the town I live and they're, they're both closed,

but, um, the theaters in Reno. I know three of them are open and I think the other two, the other guy, three of Cinnomark. The other two are. Galaxy and I believe those are

opening and I heard the galaxy was going under but it looks like they're opening back up and New Mutant starts next Friday there is a 930 a.m. showing I might brave it it'll be clean

it's the first show obviously they're going to go and really clean up everything and I think I'm going to wait as we get closer I'll look at because I looked on it right now and none of the seats are sold yet

so as we get closer I'll I'll decide I yes I am scared I don't want to get sick I just just me yeah I think I think Lance is gone

at all of us man I think he would be the the scaredest man and he he went through it already. Yeah. I don't know.

I mean, things I read, they said at one point, everyone's going to get it, but I don't want it. I don't want to feel what everyone has gone through. I know some of you might think, ah, it's just like another version of the flu. That may be the case, but I don't want to go through it. So I don't know. We'll see.

As we inch closer to the end of the week, I'll decide if I go see. new mutants or not or it might just wait because a couple of days it'll be out there and um we'll we'll see but uh yeah peninsula is there was the the latest news movie there that i see and um it's out there so uh yeah it's a video camera but it's out there but yeah that's all we got uh... macniz uh mike's gonna come on a friend of the show uh writer-director uh mike j morin he's gonna come on and we're going to talk about his newest venture that he just announced today.
