Mission: Impossible (1996)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to this podcast. Please listen to it, please! Please accept the mission, we love you and we accept you, won't you accept us?? 

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, the 1996 Cruise-De Palma classic! What can you say? Well, one of us likes it and the other is lukewarm. Still, it's nice to huff that new franchise smell!

Before we talk about M:I and Tom Cruise and Brian De Palma, Ben fills us in on his recent trip to the BFI Flare Film Festival in jolly old London, England. He also shares his Top 5 Most British People he met.

We talk about lots and lots of other movies on this episode, including CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER, THE ELECTRIC STATE, BLACK BAG, HEAT, PRINCESS MONONOKE, THE BOY FRIEND, VENGEANCE IS MINE, THE STUNT MAN, GIRL 6, and we even talk a little TV as Alex has recently watched ADOLESCENCE.

Next week do join us for the classic John Woo/nü-metal sequel MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2!
