00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.200
I was thinking the other day because I know you're

2
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:06.320
a fan of the genre, but I don't think we've

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:11.080
ever talked about your favorite. So if you had to

4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:19.760
pick between James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Ethan Hunt, who's

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.519
your favorite spy?

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.920
Gotta go with Ethan Hunt on this one.

7
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.280
I knew it. I knew it, dude.

8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.719
I believe he's the closest thing. Then we get to

9
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.240
that American James Bond, and that's why I love him.

10
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.799
All Right, Well, I'll tell you what. We've had a

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.320
good time talking about gambling, good guys and Blockbuster Part threes.

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.759
Let's talk about a film by jj Abrams, his two

13
00:00:42.840 --> 00:01:14.959
thousand and six Blockbusters spy sequel Mission Impossible three. Hello everybody,

14
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:15.840
I'm Jeff.

15
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.359
Johnson and I'm Gary Gibson.

16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.280
And this is a film by podcast Garrett. It is

17
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.200
great to see you again. We have you back. Yeah,

18
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.920
we we needed, We need a new TV show so

19
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.719
we can get back on YouTube and do the previously

20
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.760
on show.

21
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.719
We definitely do. We got a few great things coming up,

22
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.920
and I'm thinking we could put something together here for sure.

23
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.840
I'd honestly I'd like to do X Men if we could.

24
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:42.959
You know it's about the hit.

25
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.040
Yeah, okay, and can we do it?

26
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.680
We haven't done an animated show yet, let's do it.

27
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.359
We we haven't. I could definitely get behind that for sure.

28
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.079
And then of course, you know some Batman stuff coming

29
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:55.879
out maybe.

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.719
Yeah, and they're like season two on Prime for the

31
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.640
Yeah yeah, the Batman or The Dark Knight. I can't

32
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.120
remember what that one's called, but yeah, I'm I'm all

33
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.640
for that one.

34
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.759
Oh. Such a good series too by Matt Reeves. Great,

35
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.599
hell yeah, hell.

36
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.360
Yeah, Garrett. Before we jump into this one, we have

37
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.639
got to, uh, we've got to acknowledge some uh, some

38
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.919
people here. Uh there's been a little bit of a

39
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.800
boom here on Patreon or you know, which I'm always

40
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.439
happy to see. But we've got several free members I

41
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.080
want to call out real quick, so hopefully you all

42
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.400
are listening. Uh, I'm talking about Christa Elliott, Giovanni Cartagena.

43
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.039
I hope I said that right. Apologies if I didn't.

44
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.159
Giovanni Violet Night.

45
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.240
That just sounds like it's a solid name.

46
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.599
That's a solid name. She sounds like she's like a

47
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.360
secret agent or she's like, you know, she's whipping someone's ass.

48
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.639
And then Garret, I'm gonna do my best here. And

49
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.719
apologies to Jimmy. Jimmy, oh deet long fist. I know

50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.159
I said that wrong, So Jimmy, I'm so sorry. Listen,

51
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.680
Jimmy's Jimmy's a free member. But I'll tell you what

52
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.479
right now, Jimmy, if you're listening to this, uh, email

53
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.280
us film by podcast dot com or a film by

54
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.280
podcast at gmail dot com. Email email us, tell us

55
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.080
tell me how to pronounce this the right way, and

56
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.319
I'll send you something. I'll send you some a film

57
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.759
by Swag. Because guys like they said my name, he

58
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:26.960
came he he can't say it right.

59
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.840
It's bullshit, so don't worry. I mean, he can't even

60
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.719
pronounce Benny, Max's last name, so.

61
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.639
Well Ben's name, you know. It's I'm getting there, It's

62
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.479
I got to. I think every time he corrects me,

63
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.520
then he's he's saying it a different way. That's that's

64
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.120
my theory. But uh, one last person I want to

65
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.240
call out here, Garrett, and I definitely can pronounce this name.

66
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.680
Kyle Ashley is one of our newest Patreot members. H

67
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.879
Kyle started with a free seven day trial and then

68
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.199
jumped right into the assistant director tier. So Kyle has

69
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.000
got some really awesome stuff coming his way, including our

70
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.360
super soft T shirt. So can I tell you something

71
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.160
about Kyle, because dude's awesome's here, He's well, he's so

72
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.040
he's been jumping into all the Patreon episodes. He's been

73
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.079
dropping some great comments. He's we're having fun with this guy.

74
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.199
He pointed out that, you know, because I always ask

75
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.600
people when you join, I was want to know a

76
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.680
little bit about you, you know, how you found us,

77
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.759
and what what you like about the show. Kyle pointed

78
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:44.160
out that he especially loves hearing me disagree with Amber Lewis. Well,

79
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.360
that's yeah, I'm glad he likes it because it seems

80
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.279
to happen quite quite more often lately.

81
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.199
It's fun.

82
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.399
He also pointed out that he was a big fan.

83
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.879
He's a big fan of our our nineteen eighty six series.

84
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.879
And you know, here's the thing about the nineteen eighty

85
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.319
six series. We finished it, or I should say we

86
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.040
thought we finished it. And then a listener pointed out,

87
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.680
you guys did sixty six movies, why didn't you just

88
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.160
do eighty six and do eighty six for eighty six

89
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.839
so we did what we called the Lost Episodes. We

90
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.040
did twenty more that are exclusive to Patreon, so I

91
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:22.000
know Kyle is enjoying those. But then he pointed out

92
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.240
one that he wished we would have done, a movie

93
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.800
that Harold Ramis did called Club Paradise, Remember that one

94
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.439
with Robin Williams. It's I don't know, I don't know

95
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.639
how we missed it, honestly, but I'm gonna go ahead,

96
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.079
and I think I've hinted at it, but I'm gonna

97
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.480
go ahead and say it. I'm gonna make it official here, Garrett,

98
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.680
due to some uh, I'm gonna call it. I'm just

99
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.480
I'm gonna call it what it is pressure, due to

100
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:52.319
some pressure from from more than one listener, several listeners

101
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.560
to be honest with the thoughts out there? Could you

102
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.120
why didn't why not hit an even one hundred episodes

103
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.319
forty six series just to hit the centry mark? All

104
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.279
you gotta do is fourteen more? Like So, because it

105
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.399
is the fortieth anniversary of nineteen eighty six movies, we

106
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.720
are going back for what I believe will be one

107
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.399
final time. We're gonna do fourteen more, and Kyle, you

108
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.800
will be happy to hear it all starts with Club Paradise.

109
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:25.560
It's happening this summer, Garrett, We're going back to ninete

110
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.480
day six for a little bit.

111
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.519
I like it, Good Year, I like it.

112
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.160
I like it too. I you know, I don't want

113
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.800
to keep doing it. But you know, what's fourteen more?

114
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:38.040
We've come so far, right.

115
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.639
It's kind of like the Rainbow movies. You'll get dragged

116
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.000
back every couple of years. That's fine, no worries.

117
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.879
I feel like it's it's like Hugh Jackman, We're just

118
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.360
gonna He's just gonna play Wolverine for the rest of

119
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:48.800
his life.

120
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.680
Exactly two years later.

121
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah, what nineteen ay six, coming back one last time

122
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.639
this summer. More on that later, but let's jump to

123
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.240
three things you may not know about director JJ Abrams

124
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.680
and a quote. I will start by saying this, this

125
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.120
is his feature film debut. That's a hell of a

126
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.279
way to start your your film career.

127
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.879
I think it's hard to believe that this is his first,

128
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.720
like directorial debut. I mean just because of everything he

129
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.680
had written to this point, everything that he had co written,

130
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.519
everything he'd produced, Like for this being his first fight

131
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.120
director gig, I mean it's pretty damn impressive. I'm not

132
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.199
gonna lie.

133
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.360
It is, and I'll tell you this, there's a there's

134
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.920
a very valid reason he gets the job. More on

135
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.560
that later, and I guess I'll go ahead and tease

136
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.680
it for those that aren't listening to this on Patreon,

137
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.360
because I know Kyle Ashley is listening to this. If

138
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.240
you're on Patreon, you're you're gonna get it. You're gonna

139
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.279
get the episodes early. You're gonna get them ad free,

140
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.800
which is always nice because oh yeah, I'm not calling

141
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.600
out any specific streamers, but you know, I listened to

142
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.399
some of my favorite podcasts and I'm gonna get, like,

143
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.720
you know, twenty five commercials of Chumbu Casino, and I

144
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.920
just know, and I thought, you know, if I don't

145
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.399
like it, maybe our listeners don't like it. So you

146
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.120
can get them ad free, you can get them early,

147
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.279
and more importantly, more often than not, they are extended

148
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.240
versions of the episode. We're going to talk about two

149
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:33.799
things during our third break where the Patreon members get

150
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.679
to listen because we're not off mic. We're just gonna

151
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.840
give them some extra stuff. But and when that happens,

152
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.360
we're going to discuss two things. I got something for you.

153
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.240
I'm gonna call it disavowed the mission impossible, threes that

154
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.240
could have been okay. And then there's a specific controversy

155
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.720
between Tom Cruise and Comedy Central. I want to I

156
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.600
wanna highlight. But that's just for the Patreon members if

157
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.440
you're listening, and so if you're not a Patreon member,

172
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.919
no words, Yeah, all right, Well, anyways, back to jj

173
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.759
Abrams and those three things, let's start with this this one.

174
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.200
First off, Abrams is a big fan of Easter eggs,

175
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.600
and there's two specific ones that I'd like to point

176
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.759
out because they continue to up in a lot of

177
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.679
his work. So the name Kelvin, which you may or

178
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.799
may not remember a character from the show Lost Kelvin Enman.

179
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.240
And then of course his reboot of the Star Trek

180
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.320
franchise is known as the Kelvin Timeline regarding the USS Kelvin,

181
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.360
the ship that Captain Kirk's father was in charge of

182
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.960
for about four minutes. You can buy Kelvin gasoline in

183
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:31.360
the film Super eight. And then in Star Wars Episode seven,

184
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.799
the Force Awakens, one of the locations was called Kelvin Ridge.

185
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.799
And of course the postcard that Lindsey sends to Ethan

186
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:45.759
Hunt in Mission Impossible three was addressed to H Kelvin.

187
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.519
Kelvin just happens to be the name of JJ Abrams's grandfather,

188
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.639
and that's why he continues to use it. And then

189
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:59.440
of course there is the highly addictive Frozen Drink Slush Show,

190
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:04.679
which obviously is fake. Originally seen in his show Alias,

191
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.320
it has also appeared on Fringe. It was in Cloverfields

192
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.679
two thousand and eight had a very clever viral marketing

193
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.879
campaign behind it. If you remember Cloverfield or her a

194
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.720
orders slush show at the bar in a very small

195
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.559
scene in Star Trek. In the two thousand and nine

196
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.000
Star Trek, you can see it at the convenience store

197
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.000
in Super eight, and obviously it's mentioned in ten Cloverfield

198
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.720
Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox. I don't remember it being

199
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.399
in Mission Impossible three, but I'd have to go back

200
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.480
and double check that. Garrett, are you a fan of

201
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.039
the Easter Eggs? Like, do you find yourself looking for

202
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.919
him depending on the movie or of the director?

203
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:45.559
Oh?

204
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.919
Yeah, yeah, me too, love them. Other than George Lucas,

205
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.960
he is the only person to direct more than one

206
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:57.720
Star Wars film, and he is the only director to

207
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.279
direct a Star Wars and Star Trek film. Now this one,

208
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.679
I absolutely love. A very cool fact. Turns out his father, Gerald,

209
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:13.120
who was a film producer, took him to a early

210
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.480
screening a rough cut of nineteen eighty one's Escape from

211
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.320
New York because Abrams was a big fan or is

212
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.639
a big fan of John Carpenter. Turns out, at the

213
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:29.480
age of fifteen, JJ Abrams suggested making it clear that

214
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.360
Adrian Barboa's character Maggie died at the end of the movie,

215
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.279
and turns out Carpenter agreed, so they shot They added

216
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.720
a shot showing Maggie's body. Garrett, I know you love

217
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.360
Carpenter just as much as I do. We could probably

218
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.360
talk all day about him. We might have to look

219
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.919
into doing some more Carpenter stuff next season.

220
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.000
Oh deed, Yeah, I got you all day, brother.

221
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:58.919
Yeah. On the aspect of filmmaking, Abrams had this to say, quote,

222
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.759
acting is the best part. Whenever I'm directing something. There's

223
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.679
this feeling of demand and focus that I like. And secondly,

224
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.240
it means that you've gotten through all the writing stuff

225
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.039
and the producing stuff and casting and prep and all

226
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.960
those stages that are seemingly endless. So directing is sort

227
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.559
of the reward for all the work you put in before.

228
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.919
And then there's the editing, which is another amazing stage

229
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.440
of the process. It's incredible the moments you can create. Okay,

230
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:34.120
so five words synopsis, Garrett, you know this, you know

231
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.720
how the game's played. You do it well. Actually, so

232
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.759
in exactly five words, tell us what is Mission Impossible

233
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.039
three all about?

234
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.879
So this one just because there's so much happening in

235
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.159
this film. Was a little more difficult to choose a

236
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.600
five word synopsis. So it's super basic. I'm not proud

237
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:58.000
of this one. It's super Spy steals Rabbit's foot.

238
00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.600
Super Spy steals rabbit.

239
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.320
That that works, I mean it works. It gives a

240
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.919
brief description of the film. But again, yeah, I just

241
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.360
couldn't hammer out a good one for this. There's I

242
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.159
don't know, disappointed.

243
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.039
I'm gonna I'm gonna use two of your words, okay,

244
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.720
and you know I'm I'm not far off of what

245
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.919
you got and uh, but mine, while it is a

246
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.440
little on the news, it kind of feels like it

247
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.559
maybe has a double meaning. I have hunt for the Rabbit's.

248
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.360
Foot, Okay, I mean I like that.

249
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.639
Tom's playing Tom's playing Ethan Hunt. He's hunting for the

250
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.600
rabbits foot, So I'm gonna hunt for the rabbit's foot. Listeners,

251
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.679
please let us know your five words synopsis. I'm curious.

252
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:45.480
You can email us, you can hit us up on

253
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.480
social media. You can on the streaming app you know,

254
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.159
whether you're listening on Apple or Spotify, you know, drop

255
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.759
us a comment, you know, tell us, tell us what

256
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.639
yours is because it sounds like there's uh, there's probably

257
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.759
some better options of what me and Garrett came up with, but.

258
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.200
Exactly, yeah, we they have softball those two in there.

259
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.480
You see. But hey, we find a good one someone,

260
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.679
someone sends us a good one, Garrett, maybe we'll we'll

261
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.000
we'll shot him out and we'll I'll let him something.

262
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:15.320
So Paramount waits six years after John Wu's sequel to

263
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.720
the original from ninety six. You could definitely say Wu

264
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.840
ups the action, but but maybe lowered the believability that

265
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.399
the that the world the I M F Is in?

266
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:26.039
Is that fair?

267
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.480
And I think so? And uh, I feel like his

268
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.919
sequel might be the weakest in the series. I hate

269
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:36.879
to say it, but I'm going to go there.

270
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.480
Man, Okay, uh, let's call it what it is. It's

271
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.159
it's the weakest, but it's awesome. Yeah, Like I absolutely.

272
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.720
I mean, this was a movie I remember, remember remember

273
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.440
that one that it starts off with the with Ethan

274
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:55.960
on vacation, the death defying mountain climbing. He's going free solo.

275
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.440
He makes that leap your heart just leaps, because let's

276
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.399
not forget cruises. That's not cgi cruise did it.

277
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:03.840
Yeah.

278
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.879
Now he's not a thousand feet up, but he's still

279
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.320
thirty feet up and John wu famously would not even look.

280
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.960
You know, he covers his eyes and lets his second

281
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.480
unit guy film it for him.

282
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.919
Wow, Like what I mean, what do you do? You

283
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.240
know that when he gets to the top of that

284
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.879
mountain there and uh, the helicopter flies up out of nowhere,

285
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.200
fires off the rocket that crashes into the side of

286
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.159
the mountain and pops up a pair of sunglasses has

287
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:39.279
Limp Biscuits bit. Yeah, it's like, yeah, that's badass. Do

288
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.320
not get me wrong.

289
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.360
This is the most Yeah, it's the most MTV mission

290
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.759
impossible we get because we've got We've got Limp bisk

291
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.120
we got music by Limp Biscuit and Metallica. Yeah, you

292
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.600
know Tom Cruise is jumping off mountains. He's you know,

293
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.039
he's doing the dirt bike stuff.

294
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.679
It's if I'm not mistaken, this is the one that

295
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:03.080
Tom Cruise and Ben still Or did though like little spoofs,

296
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:04.640
remember thoughts.

297
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.440
Yeah, when Stiller's doing it was like for the m

298
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.039
TV movie Yeah, what what is top? Yeah? Yeah, yeah

299
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.079
that was good. Yeah, it's a fun movie. So look,

300
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:18.880
I mean think about I mean, we are talking about

301
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.839
it with so much nostalgia and fun, and we're saying

302
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.559
that's the weakest one out of what eight eight movies?

303
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.319
Eight films now, yeah.

304
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:31.880
Eight films. Yeah, uh films written by Alex Kurtzman, Robert

305
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.640
Orsey and JJ Abrams. These guys they've had a long

306
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:40.039
history working together. They were on Alias together, Fringe Transformer

307
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:43.799
star Trek. But again, the fact that that this is

308
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.400
abrams first film, right out the gate, it's amazing, it is.

309
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.680
But at any rate, you know three, you know, despite

310
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.640
some of his insane stunts and incredible action sequences, I

311
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.359
feel like this film has taking us back to a

312
00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.960
more realistic approach, you know.

313
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.680
It does. And it also ties in that little bit

314
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.400
of a love aspect into this film to where it

315
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.200
kind of drags on for a few different films after

316
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.039
this one. So I did like that they added that

317
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:14.359
to it me too.

318
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.839
Can we talk about the opening three minutes? Yeah, because

319
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.160
we always have like the fun good morning mister Hunt stuff,

320
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.440
you know, those fun little prequels. This is not that,

321
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.119
and you gotta think like the early two thousands, you know,

322
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.960
I mentioned those those characters like James Bond and Jason

323
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.880
Bourne And yeah, I think in the early two thousands

324
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.839
we are moving in towards we're moving towards more of

325
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.839
the realistic, brutal aspects of spycraft.

326
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.920
Oh yeah, you know.

327
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.119
This is the year like we you know, like we

328
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.480
talked about Casino Royale, just you have to be get

329
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.799
at the game of the month, and it's it's it's brutal,

330
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.279
it's dirty, it's it's you know, it's hard edg just right.

331
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.039
We weren't we weren't used to that, you know. No

332
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.799
Brosnan was driving an invisible car and doing nonsense, you know,

333
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:13.039
with a diamond faced bad guy. So to see Ethan

334
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.839
Hunt tied down to a chair, We're opening the movie

335
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.759
like this and someone is about to you know, Carrie

336
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.960
Russell's there and you're like, okay, well how's Ethan going

337
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.039
to get out of this? And how does he save

338
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.279
the day? And what's Philip Seymour Hoffman, what's okay? He's

339
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.000
counting down? What are we doing? Yeah, you see Tom

340
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:36.720
Cruise giving Ethan Hunt like a whole new level of

341
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:42.279
of of personality, of emotion. Yeah, that single tear when

342
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.400
he's like, don't you know and that that you know,

343
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.960
and then we hear a gunshot and the movie is

344
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.039
off and running and you're like, what just happened? Did

345
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.359
he did? He just he'll carry carry Russell like, you

346
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.400
can't kill you can't kill Felicity? Can you not?

347
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.480
Right off? Rip? What doing?

348
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.640
What are we doing here? Yeah? I just I couldn't

349
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:05.960
believe it.

350
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:06.200
Man.

351
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.079
It was just awesome, absolutely awesome. Tell you what, I know,

352
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.400
we got a lot to talk about this, but we

353
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.519
got we got to take a break. Let's take a

354
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.519
quick break, and then when we get back, we'll talk.

355
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:22.119
We'll talk about this cast. Welcome back. We are talking

356
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:28.839
about JJ abrams directorial debut, Mission Impossible three. Tom Cruise

357
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.920
is back as Ethan Hunt. It's his third outing as

358
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:38.880
the IMF super agent, but he's retired. He's teaching at

359
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.920
the CIA headquarters in Langley. Is this Were you expecting this? Garrett?

360
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.960
First time he saw it?

361
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.920
Honestly not the first time that I saw this film,

362
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.559
I was not. I didn't pick it up from the trailer.

363
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:55.519
It was actually kind of super surprised. And the fact

364
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.079
that he's now settled down and he's engaged and he's

365
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.839
like ready to get get married. I mean it's not

366
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.039
what you expect from Ethan Hut after the first two outings.

367
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.680
No, I love. I love when he's back home with

368
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.720
Michelle Monaghan Julia and we got like the engagement party,

369
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:20.680
you know, a very unknown Aaron Paul playing his soon

370
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:21.400
to be brother.

371
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.240
In law, shaggy hair and every shaggy hair.

372
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.880
Yeah, yeah, stoner type of character. But it's fun to

373
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.680
watch him move through the party because he's doing it's

374
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.839
he's doing a real Clark Kent thing where he's trying

375
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.519
to sound really lame working for the Department of Transportation,

376
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.160
but he's so excited about you know, traffic patterns and

377
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.599
they're like Jesus guy. But then yeah, I remember he

378
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.799
can like like when they're when Julia is in the kitchen,

379
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.559
he's like twenty feet away and like knows exactly what

380
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.319
they're talking about because he could still read lips and

381
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.559
he's he's that guy, like his powers are slipping here there,

382
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.640
Like her girlfriend's like, did how the hell do you

383
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.640
hear that? You know what? I don't know. I'm having

384
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.519
fun with him seeing him in this new phase of

385
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.079
his life.

386
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.960
Oh. Absolutely, And to speak of the energy that you

387
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.960
talked about that he's got in this party scene. Is

388
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.359
I feel like that's something only like that energy is

389
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.759
only something Tom Cruise has. I don't see that kind

390
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.519
of energy from any other actor. Like he's he's unmatched

391
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.880
when it comes to that aspect.

392
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.759
Yeah, he's unmatching a lot of ways. Like I mean,

393
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.480
i'd have to think what let's see he's, uh, this

394
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.759
is two thousand and six, so he's Yeah, it is

395
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:36.920
what mid early to mid thirties.

396
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.039
I think possibly I would put him somewhere about thirty

397
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:40.799
four to thirty five.

398
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:46.440
Yeah, yeah, does not look it. He's not moving fantastic. Yeah,

399
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:46.960
he looked.

400
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.160
He still was fantastic.

401
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.799
But yeah, well yeah, we just we watched Dead Reckoning

402
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.279
not too long ago, and he's still like he's like

403
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:56.640
in it. He's like sixty one, sixty two years old now,

404
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:01.200
and it's like, you know, Tom Cruise can can do

405
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:03.960
a do a scene in his boxer briefs and run

406
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.119
on a treadmill with an oxygen mask and you know,

407
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:13.400
shredded phenomenal. Yeah, he's Kellogg shredded wheat. Yeah, it's it's unreal. Yeah,

408
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.960
it's it's it's funny because like you watch these movies

409
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.079
like this one. You know, it's it's what twenty twenty

410
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:24.720
years old. Yeah, he still looks like the dead reckoning

411
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:28.359
Tom Cruise, looks like the Mission Impossible three Tom Cruise.

412
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:32.119
It's it's it's it's unreal. Yeah. I'm gonna go ahead

413
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.119
and say right now, I think this is my favorite performance

414
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:40.559
from Philip Seymour Hoffman. He's playing the uh, the head villain,

415
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.319
Owen Davian. Are you aware that? I know they never

416
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.319
specify it, or at least I don't think they do. In

417
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.000
the future movies. I think it's it's either in the

418
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:54.440
novelization or it's it's in one of the scripts. But

419
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:59.519
Owen Davian is like the money guy for the Syndicate,

420
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.440
you know, the this shadow organization towards you know, the

421
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.519
last couple of Mission Possible.

422
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:07.680
Yeah, he's supposed to be like the breakoff. Yeah.

423
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.960
Yeah, how about that? So this role, I can't imagine

424
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:16.440
anyone else doing this. Yeah, but it was offered to

425
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:21.000
Billy Bob Thornton. First he declines it because he he says,

426
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.799
he doesn't want to be typecast as a villain. You

427
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.920
gotta remember, like early in his career he was playing

428
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:26.720
a lot of bad guys.

429
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.839
He was I don't I know Billy Bob Thornton's an

430
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.880
amazing actor and he'd probably done an amazing job in

431
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:39.759
this role. Yeah, but how calm and calculated Philip Seymour

432
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:42.200
Hoffman is in this role is chilling.

433
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.680
He's incredible in this role. And I look like he's

434
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:50.839
one of those comedians. Like think about his performance as

435
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:55.559
as Scottie and Boogie Knights. Yeah, how clumsy and awkward

436
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.200
and pathetic he is, but still like fun to you

437
00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:59.680
just want you want more Scotty in that.

438
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:09.039
Movie and then like The Big Lebowski, we did not

439
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.039
think about that.

440
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.960
Not think about that. Yeah he's well, I mean think

441
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:18.359
about think about how cool he is and almost famous

442
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.000
as Yeah, he's the cool He's the cool DJ. He's

443
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.680
the cool rolling Stone guy. Like it's like you want

444
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.519
to hang out with him, like you want he's you

445
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.119
want him to come to the party, right, He's he's

446
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.599
been amazing and he was. He was amazing in every

447
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:36.119
performance that he ever, uh he ever did, even telling

448
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.640
him mister.

449
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:44.960
Ripley dude, Yeah, honestly, Tom, Yeah, he has a way

450
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.480
of not ever playing the same character, which is something

451
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.319
a lot of actors struggle with. So, yeah, I think

452
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.279
that's why I really love him in this one.

453
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.960
Think about think about him in this movie, and then

454
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:01.319
think about an alternate reality where he shows up in

455
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:05.480
Christopher Nolan's Dark Night trilogy as the Penguin. Ooh, could

456
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.000
you imagine how great that would have been?

457
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.400
That would have been pretty freaking amazing.

458
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:12.400
Playing Cobble plot is like a high society arms dealer.

459
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.920
Yeah, who's finessing? Kind kind of like the Colin Farrell

460
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:19.920
portrayal of him, but yeah, yes.

461
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:25.319
But less less Italian mobster and more more more, the more,

462
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.839
the gentleman, the consummate gentleman, high society guy.

463
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.920
Yeah, kind of like eccentric.

464
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.640
Yeah, centric, like an eccentric Fraser Crane.

465
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.720
Yes, there it is there, There, it is there.

466
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.359
It is. I know. We're gonna talk a little bit

467
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.559
more about him as we progress, but we'll move on

468
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.480
because this is a big cast. We mentioned Michelle Monahan

469
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:51.799
playing Julia, so she gets the role after Rachel McAdams says, no,

470
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.240
this is definitely a Rachel McAdams performance.

471
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.799
It could have worked, right, Yeah, no, wow, that I

472
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.559
didn't know. But I actually really liked that casting on

473
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:08.400
that one. I mean, Michelle Monaghan did amazing, but yeah.

474
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.440
Michelle, Okay, so what I what I think Michelle Monaghan

475
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:14.440
brings to the performance, and this is her in every role.

476
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.519
I think she's spunky, she's feisty.

477
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:17.079
Yeah.

478
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.680
Yeah, Rachel McAdams not so much feisty. But I could

479
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:24.519
see her and Cruse like they that that match looks good.

480
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:29.160
I think it does. And after watching her performance and

481
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.480
True Detective season two, I can see that.

482
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.359
Yeah, I'd love to. We need to talk to Angela

483
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.880
and Amber because you got to wonder, like you're about

484
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.799
to get married to this guy. Yeah, and even if

485
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.160
he looks like Tom Cruise, how pissed are you when

486
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.640
you find out that he's actually living a double life.

487
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.799
You know that he's not studying traffic patterns, that he's

488
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.720
not studying, Yeah, but he's not find out a Houston

489
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.960
for a traffic convention.

490
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.839
Yeah. I like Michelle Monaghan in this. I have a

491
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.160
hard time if there's any I mean, there's a lot

492
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.880
of stuff that you can choose not to believe in

493
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.200
the movie, like they go they go too far. I'm

494
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.400
okay with him sling shotting across the skyscrapers, the bridge stuff,

495
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:16.759
that I know we'll probably talk about here in a

496
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:21.039
little bit, which is awesome. Her learning how to you know,

497
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.000
chamber a nine millimeter and you know, pull us, you know,

498
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.680
pull us lot, you know, get to take it off.

499
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.200
He tells her, like in four seconds, and he does.

500
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.440
She takes out two guys at the end of the movie.

501
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.519
I mean she literally she has just passed the test

502
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:40.680
to become a double Oh. If this is six, it's

503
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.519
it's funny because we're talking about m I three. But

504
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.519
if this was James Bond, you gotta have two kills

505
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.640
to become a double oh. And she takes care of it.

506
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.359
Yeah, she does, and she seriously drops like one of

507
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:52.559
the main villains in the film.

508
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.559
So yeah, that's off too. Her. Always great to see

509
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:03.000
ving Ram's back as Luther Luther still. I think it's fun.

510
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.960
He has fun. I'm glad, like because you got to think,

511
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.880
like these movies, I want to say, what maybe with

512
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.799
the fourth one Ghost Protocol, we've identified who the team is, like,

513
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.160
we're going to have our core characters pretty much come

514
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.039
back every single time. He was there from the beginning

515
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.359
though he was you know, he's always been the constant

516
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.039
with Ethan Hunt so you know, I like that he's

517
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.920
We're growing with him. There's a little bit more, a

518
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.960
little bit more comedy in his performance.

519
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.799
Oh yeah, because I think is part two when he

520
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.079
shows up in that one, he's talking about is Gucci

521
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.680
and all that stuff. It's just such a good character

522
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.359
in that one. And I mean, I really feel like

523
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.839
three is where they really figured out the formula for

524
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.960
this crew. And I absolutely love the way they ran

525
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:56.960
with it after that.

526
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:03.480
Absolutely. Yeah, he is fantastic. It's as the movies progress,

527
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.160
you can't wait to see more of his character. I

528
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:08.759
know when we went and saw Dead Reckoning, we were

529
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.400
a little worried.

530
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.400
H oh yeah, well.

531
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.000
Yeah that's still new. People might have not seen that,

532
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:15.880
so I'll shut up, but we'll and we'll move on.

533
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.559
But seen it.

534
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:21.960
Yeah, it's on Paramoun Plus. They're all on Paramount Plus.

535
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.519
Go go watch them. They're awesome. Uh. Carrie Russell playing

536
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.759
Lindsey Ferris, she's basically she's the first agent that Ethan

537
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:38.559
as an instructor, has promoted to field field duty operative. Yeah,

538
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:43.400
she's an operative. So she meets Abrams way back on

539
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:47.000
her her felicity days. He makes his he's making his

540
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:52.440
feature film debut with with Carrie Russell, but he made

541
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:57.240
his television directorial debut with Carrie Russell. He did like

542
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:59.480
two episodes of Felicity, so I.

543
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.880
Guess he actually pretty good.

544
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.880
You remember, remember it as a pleasant experience. Listen to

545
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:08.319
this list of of of impressive actresses that Carrie Russell

546
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.839
beats out because Carry russells she's good, right, oh yeah?

547
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:16.359
Is she better than Katie Holmes at that point, I

548
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:18.119
think it's like missus Tom Cruise right now.

549
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:21.720
Right, like yeah, I think they got married around that time.

550
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.440
I think him and Nicole Kidman had already separated, so

551
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:26.319
I think that may have been his wife at the

552
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.880
point in time.

553
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.720
You know, I maybe maybe Tom didn't want to see

554
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:35.759
a small explosive device, you know, go off detonating inside

555
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:41.079
her head. Still it's a herd. It's well, okay, so

556
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:46.799
getting into it real quick. Initially, special effects team they

557
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.000
create something way more gory.

558
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.000
Oh yeah, I can imagine, and.

559
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.359
The student serious like we're not this isn't the this

560
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:55.240
isn't that kind of movie, Like we don't need that.

561
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.839
I would I'll chat. Here's my take, Garrett, because you

562
00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:02.480
and I love horror, you know, we love the we

563
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:08.160
love the gore, something about seeing her face immediately snap

564
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:10.160
into that frozen, zombie fide.

565
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.640
Look with the eye, the.

566
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:15.799
Eyeball shooting to the one side, the dead eyes shooting. Yeah,

567
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.000
it's I think it's I think, don't take this the

568
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.799
wrong way, but I think I'd rather have just seen

569
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.920
her head explode like scanner style instead of seeing like that.

570
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:31.839
He was it was more disturbing. Yeah, it's like, hold on,

571
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.319
that looked way more painful.

572
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.720
It's way more disturbing because it looks so real. Yeah,

573
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.039
like if someone had like they're Yeah, it's it's.

574
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:42.599
Tough, like the brain just got nuked from the inside. Yeah.

575
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.240
Yeah, yeah, Tom's probably not want to see Katie like that.

576
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:50.559
But uh, how about Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay up for the

577
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:52.759
role of Lindsay and doesn't.

578
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.920
Get that's what two years after probably Freaky Friday. It's

579
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.160
a it's an interesting one. And yeah, I'm still going

580
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:04.559
to say no to that one, but it's interesting.

581
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:10.119
All right. Uh. Alicia Cuthbert, I think too young too too.

582
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.559
I think say it looks too young. Yeah, I think

583
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.880
the same thing with Lindsay Lohan. It may have been

584
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.720
too young at that point. In time for like that role.

585
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.680
I don't know, it just doesn't fit for me.

586
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.920
All right, This one's gonna be a hard, hard one

587
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.720
for you to pass up. Last person up for the

588
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.319
role Jessica Hulba.

589
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.799
Oh my gosh, it just as gorgeous as the day

590
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:36.640
is long. I'll tell you that, man.

591
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.119
I have a theory. I have a theory. Okay, I

592
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.440
think I think they pass on Jessica Alba because I

593
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:47.720
think they're smart enough to think we maybe we bring

594
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.799
her in next time in a role that she's not

595
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.440
going to die immediately. This is a tough break for

596
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.960
Kerry Russell, like her agent, you know, Lindsay Ferris is

597
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:59.039
only a live for like five minutes of screen time

598
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:05.720
of screen time. Yeah, someone, I'm I'm loving and I

599
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.119
know you and I I think we're we're talking about

600
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.440
this when when we we talked about Dead Reckoning, uh

601
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.559
we did back to the box Office. The show stealer

602
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:19.400
of that movie is Simon Pegg. Oh yeah. Mission Impossible

603
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:25.360
three is Simon Pegg's debut as Benji, and I cannot

604
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:25.880
love him.

605
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.719
Enough, dude. I mean, I don't want to say that

606
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.519
he like may have saved this series and kept helping

607
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.360
it grow. But I think without him and Ving, I

608
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.960
think this probably doesn't get eight films. I mean, Tom

609
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.320
Cruise is amazing. He can survive on his and trust me,

610
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.599
I'm not saying he can't. Well. Beni and Luther.

611
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:53.679
You know, you mentioned that Ethan Hunters is is the

612
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.079
American James Bond. It's as close as we get to

613
00:34:56.079 --> 00:35:01.079
having our like our own guy Bond has Q Hunt

614
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:03.920
has to have Benji. Benji is the guy like you

615
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.760
when when ship's about to go sideways or you've got seconds,

616
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:11.239
you call Benji and and you're always putting Benji in

617
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:15.159
an awkward position, or you're incriminating him, or you're yeah,

618
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.920
you're stressing him out. It's been it's just been funny.

619
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.239
He's been this. He's been so fun throughout this entire franchise.

620
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:26.800
Oh he has. And plus I mean Simon Peggy meeting him,

621
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:32.519
he's just such lovely person and so like just maybe great.

622
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.679
What was it it was last year, last December at

623
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:40.159
Galaxy Colity. Yeah, yeah, he was the coolest guy to talk.

624
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.800
With, Like it really was.

625
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.360
Yeah, I I know you were you were there the

626
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.360
like the convents there, you were there. Yeah, we were

627
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.880
there Saturday. You were there Sunday. I wish you would

628
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.199
have been there the day before so you could have

629
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:54.840
jumped in that photo with us. You know, it's one

630
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.199
of my favorite photos that we've done.

631
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.559
He's he's super cool, dude, dude, he is.

632
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:03.320
Yeah, here's something I found this little quote and I

633
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:08.000
cracked up. Following his breakout performance in two thousand and

634
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.960
four Shawn of the Dead, he was asked whether he

635
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.280
was interested in pursuing a career in Hollywood, you know,

636
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:16.920
because he's BBC guy, you know, he comes from. Yeah,

637
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:21.000
he dismissed the notion, laughing about at laughing at it,

638
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.599
and he said, well, it's not like I'm going to

639
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:28.199
be a Mission Impossible three. He says that two years

640
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:30.280
before he's in Mission Impossible.

641
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:35.239
Dude, How great is that? That's amazing? And like, it's

642
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.880
so funny seeing Simon Peg at this point in time

643
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.079
of his career because you know, of course we get

644
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.599
Sewn of the Dead and a year after Mission Possible

645
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:46.639
three we get Hot Fuzz. But you can tell he

646
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:49.159
kind of probably just went back to like writing his

647
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.920
skits and stuff like that, because he's like chubby faced,

648
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.880
he's looking young still he doesn't have that Simon peg

649
00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:57.719
like swave look that he's got.

650
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.760
Now yeah, well let's not forget. Like a couple of

651
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:03.519
years after this, he's he becomes Scottie in the.

652
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:04.440
Star Trek reboot.

653
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:04.800
Yeah.

654
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.559
Yeah, yeah, he's a guy that Yeah, I thought he

655
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.880
had no career in Hollywood.

656
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.239
Yeah, nore in Hollywood. And he's two of the biggest

657
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:19.559
characters in franchises. Yeah, he's awesome. Man is uh we

658
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:24.000

660
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:34.800
Maggie q as Zen, and Jonathan Reese Myers as Declan. Uh.

661
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.199
Just I got at least wanted to shout him out because,

662
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.519
like you know, we'll be here all night if we

663
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.480
we don't get moving anyone. Uh but real quick, anyone

664
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.039
you want to you want to you want to point

665
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:46.639
out or you want to talk about before we move

666
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.400
on from that that lineup.

667
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:52.119
I mean, Billy crud Up, I mean he plays a

668
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.480
very convincing role to where you were misled this entire film.

669
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:03.039
Yeah, it's I'll I'll say this mission impossible in ninety six,

670
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:06.840
we all get the woolport over our eyes with with

671
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:07.880
John Voyd's character.

672
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:09.480
Yep, at the end of the movie.

673
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.400
Uh. The second movie though, we pretty much know. Yeah,

674
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.760
Dougray Scott, like we know immediately who the villain is.

675
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:20.639
There's no you're not gonna fool me once. Shame on

676
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:22.920
me for me twice, you know, or whatever for me

677
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.519
wants shame on you for me twice, Shame on me.

678
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.400
As soon as like, you know, cred Up showing up,

679
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:32.480
I'm like, I don't trust him. I remember thinking. I

680
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:36.960
remember thinking, like, I don't know guy. Something's and they

681
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.119
But the script, like Abram's script, you know, with Orsi

682
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:44.480
and the Kurtzman, it is good in the fact that

683
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:48.159
it makes you question him. It makes you question Laurence Fishburne. Yeah,

684
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.199
you don't know who to trust, you know. Fishburn has

685
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.800
that great line though, like because he like when they

686
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:57.039
when they've captured Ethan, what's he What's he say?

687
00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:59.960
Uh, I'll bleed on the American flag to keep those

688
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:02.280
stripes red or something like that.

689
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.480
Yeah. I think that's my favorite. That's my favorite line

690
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:07.079
in this whole movie.

691
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.679
Dude, such a good such a good line. Do you know?

692
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.079
Okay, we're talking about Fishburne real quick before we take

693
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:16.119
another break. But you know, he was actually supposed to

694
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:18.519
have a bigger role because you know, we're he's back

695
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:21.079
at he's back at Langley, we're popping in here and

696
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.280
there with him. He was supposed to have a much

697
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:26.519
bigger role. Could not do it because he was filming

698
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.440
a moving called Akila and the Bee and I seen them.

699
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:32.599
I haven't. I think it's like a little girl in

700
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.280
a spelling bee. Oh shoot, okay, yeah, I'm not gonna

701
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:36.639
knock it.

702
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.360
Probably probably meaningful film.

703
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:41.960
Yeah, probably a nice family movie. But uh, you know,

704
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:47.280
we got less fishburn we got we got less fishburn

705
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:53.960
because of because of a bee. So yeah, let's let

706
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:57.039
that sit a well, we will. We'll take a quick break.

707
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.480
But before I do, I'm gonna let you I'm I'm

708
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.119
gonna ask you a little little trivia question. Well, let

709
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:06.440
our listeners you know what. I've never done this. Here's

710
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.440
a little trivia question for you before we take a break.

711
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:14.239
The Ladies of Mission Impossible three. I'm talking about Carrie Russell,

712
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:21.119
Michelle Monaghan and Maggie Q. What connection, what character connects

713
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:23.519
the three of these these actresses we're gonna take a

714
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:27.440
quick break and we'll come back and maybe Garrett will

715
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.119
have the answer. Maybe one of you guys already knows

716
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.800
the answer. If you know the answer, drop a comment,

717
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:33.840
let us know. I want to see, if I want

718
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.519
to see who's faster than Grett Gibson. We'll be right back.

719
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:43.639
Welcome back. We're talking Mission Impossible three. Before the break,

720
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:47.119
we were talking about the ladies of Mission Impossible three,

721
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:52.199
specifically Carrie Russell, Michelle Monaghan and Maggie Q. All three

722
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:56.679
of these talented actresses have a character that connects connects

723
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:59.280
each one of them, and we're talking to Garrett see

724
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:00.719
if he could figure it out out in the ninety

725
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.480
seconds we've been away. But doesn't look like he's got

726
00:41:03.480 --> 00:41:05.199
an answer for us. You want to take a guess,

727
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:06.760
just a wild guess.

728
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:11.039
Oh my gosh, Now I'm going to sound buffoon ish

729
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:15.920
if I do that. We're not a blank on it. Brother.

730
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.280
All three of these actresses have voiced Wonder Woman for

731
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:27.119
various DC animated movies. Yep, dude, how about that.

732
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:28.159
That's pretty impressive.

733
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.079
That's that You gotta think that's coming up in conversation

734
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:35.280
on set. Yeah, it has to be we're setting up lighting.

735
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:38.199
You know, hey, what do you think? You know? I

736
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:41.519
like I like your performances as the Amazonian, I like yours.

737
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:44.679
You know, yeah, thank you? Pretty damn there is they

738
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:47.840
all They all played Wonder Woman for animated DC movies.

739
00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:53.320
Little background on this movie, Garrett. Yeah, So Cruz is

740
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.920
looking for a director to take over the franchise. In

741
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.320
two thousand and four, after binge watching the first two

742
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.760
seasons of Alias, he calls jj Abrams personally to offer

743
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:09.119
him the job. Now just be jj Abrams in two

744
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:11.559
thousand and four for a second. You're cutting your teeth.

745
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:15.199
You've done some some good writing, you've done some directing

746
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:18.000
and television. You're making a name for yourself, but you

747
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.920
have not had your feature film debut, and you certainly

748
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:23.840
have not done a big blockbuster movie.

749
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:27.880
Now this is prior to Star Wars and everything else.

750
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:32.079
Yeah, TC is on your phone asking you to direct

751
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.000
him in the next mission. Impossible. It's every every guy's

752
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.039
dream to get this call for your director. He has

753
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.920
to say yeah. He has to say sorry, Tom, I'm

754
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.199
going to be tied up for the next year because

755
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:53.480
my contract for Alias and Lost is still ongoing. Tom says,

756
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:59.800
no problem, will wait. Tom Cruise. Binge watches two seasons

757
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:03.480
of Alias, loves it so much he's willing to put

758
00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:07.239
Mission Impossible on ice for a full year so that

759
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:11.639
this guy can meet his contractual obligations on these TV shows.

760
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.639
That's actually pretty impressive. Instead of like, hey, like, we'll

761
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.960
buy out your contract, we'll speed this up, or we'll

762
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:21.639
go different way, he seriously puts one of the biggest

763
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:25.519
action franchises of all time on hold for an entire

764
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:26.880
twelve months.

765
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:30.960
The power that Tom has in Highwood at this time

766
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:36.320
to do that, and for anyone anyone out there listening thinking, man, well,

767
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:38.000
I wouldn't have waited. They should have just got a

768
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:41.119
different director. They should have. Yeah, they should have bought,

769
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:43.960
like you said, buy out the contract, you know, call

770
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:46.559
ABC up and say hey we want we want Abrams.

771
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:47.400
We'll buy him out.

772
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:48.280
Yeah.

773
00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:53.239
But something good always happens in these situations. And meanwhile,

774
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:58.519
Steven Spielberg is hoping to work with Tom Cruise. This

775
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:02.199
one year delay makes it possible for Cruise to work

776
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.960
with Spielberg on War of the Worlds, which is immediately greenlit,

777
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:11.000
shot and released in two thousand and five. We got

778
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.719
a window. Let's do it. So, yeah, I'm a fan

779
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:16.519
of World of the Worlds. Don't are you? I mean,

780
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:18.320
I know you love Spielberg, but are you? Are you

781
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:19.000
a fan of that one?

782
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.679
What's funny is I saw it when it came out

783
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:24.440
in theaters, absolutely loved it. I have never watched the

784
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:25.000
film again.

785
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:30.039
I've actually do you remember you remember the moment in

786
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.960
War of the Worlds where Tom's character walks by that

787
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:38.920
that downed airplane that's just destroyed. It's like took out

788
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:42.719
like half a neighborhood. I've actually been at that set.

789
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:46.119
It is really Yeah, I don't they might have. They

790
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:48.400
might have moved it by now, but yeah, that was

791
00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:52.920
actually on the back lot of Universal, and you know,

792
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.920
we're going by and they're like, if you've seen War

793
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:58.760
of the Worlds, this might look familiar, and I was like,

794
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:03.320
holy shit, I mean it looks like a you know,

795
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:05.920
it looks so real. I mean, well, it's because it's

796
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:07.880
a full sized airplane. You know, it's not like a

797
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.320
model that you see in the movie. It's all full size.

798
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:11.440
It's pretty awesome. Check that out.

799
00:45:11.800 --> 00:45:13.079
It is pretty freaking cool.

800
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:17.199
Okay, Abrams, you know, I remember he's a TV guy.

801
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:21.079
He offered Martin Landau the chance to appear in a

802
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:25.480
small cameo in this movie. Landau whatever prized his role

803
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:30.559
as roll In Hand from the original Mission Impossible TV series.

804
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:31.760
That would have been kind of cool.

805
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:33.280
I think that would have been pretty cool.

806
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:40.920
Unfortunately, Lando Lando. Unfortunately Lando cal Rizione is not in

807
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:46.480
the movie. Martin Landau also isn't. He declined the offer,

808
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:50.159
citing his desire for a bigger role. Also admitted that

809
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.960
he had a dislike for how the film's plots were

810
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:58.559
progressing throughout the series. It's funny. I found that out,

811
00:45:58.559 --> 00:45:59.880
and I was like, I guess he has a lot

812
00:45:59.880 --> 00:46:02.639
in with Matt Sargent from the Cinematic Flashback podcast.

813
00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:04.599
Yeah, he kind of.

814
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.119
Said the exact same thing on one of their episodes

815
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:10.679
not too long ago. So I have to ask Matt

816
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:12.800
about that, because I think next week him a Chuck

817
00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:14.800
will be here on a film buy to help us out.

818
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:18.400
See. I would have found that interesting if they could

819
00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:21.679
have gotten him Martin Landale to be in that role,

820
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.280
just because I always kind of think that's cool when

821
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:26.239
they're able to do something like that. Give us a

822
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:29.880
little question. Yeah, like Quentin Tarantino and his two thousand

823
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:33.480
and a film Jango Unchained. There's a scene where Jamie

824
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:35.719
Fox's character is standing at a bar and he's talking

825
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:40.199
to an Italian gentleman there and he says, what's your name?

826
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:43.360
He's like Django. He's like, how you spells it out?

827
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:45.840
And he's like the d is silent and the gentleman says,

828
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.760
I know so. In the nineteen sixties and seventies, the

829
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:56.079
classic Italian spaghetti westerns Django was played by that Italian gentleman.

830
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:58.519
I was talking to Jamie Fox in that scene.

831
00:46:58.719 --> 00:46:59.880
See I love that.

832
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.519
When we get connect it's cool. Yeah.

833
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:06.679
I don't know what Landaal could have done, but it

834
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.599
would have been cool. Like maybe if we're at Langley

835
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:12.239
and he gives Tom some friendly like Ethan Hunt, some

836
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.400
friendly advice or exactly maybe he was maybe he was

837
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:18.760
maybe he was auditing his class or something, you know, yeah,

838
00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:21.239
former former instructor something that would be That would have

839
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:24.440
been fun. I would have liked that Tom Cruise because

840
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:28.960
he is Tom Cruise. Uh made quite the impression at

841
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:34.119
the premiere of Mission Impossible. Three. Film has a three

842
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:39.280
citywide premiere in New York City. Three different theaters premiering.

843
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:45.360
You know, same night, Tom Cruise arrives by fire engine,

844
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:47.719
and by fire engine, I mean he's he's on top

845
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:55.440
of it. Shows up, Yeah, drops in by helicopter at

846
00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:58.199
another location, and uh, he's on a motorbike for the

847
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.360
other one. Mm hmmm, proving that he might be the

848
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:06.119
coolest guy in Hollywood. I think, dude, all he is, right, Garrett,

849
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.559
let's take let's take a quick break and then we'll

850
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:11.159
jump into a scene. There's a scene you want to

851
00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:13.599
talk about I want to talk about. We'll talk about it.

852
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.920
All right, we're back. It is time to discuss a scene.

853
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:21.440
I don't know if we might talk about two. I

854
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.519
don't know. We might have the same one though, Garrett.

855
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:27.079
The scene that you want to discuss, why do you

856
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.239
want to talk about it? Is it? Is it for

857
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.159
the cinematography? Is it because of a strong performance? Is

858
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:36.840
it the pivotal moment of the movie. Did it piss

859
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.760
Amber Lewis off? We haven't done that one in a while.

860
00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:44.280
I've got to say, uh, I think it falls under

861
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:47.280
strong performance, and it's got to be Philip Seymour Hoffman.

862
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:50.199
So it's in the scene right after they get him

863
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:56.559
and he's in the cargo airplane with Tom Cruise. Okay, yeah,

864
00:48:56.679 --> 00:49:00.000
Ethan Hunt just pops the door open, flips the chair down.

865
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:02.000
Uh hold on, yeah, can.

866
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:05.000
We can we watch it real quick? Let's let's let

867
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:06.719
let let's let's check this out.

868
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:13.199
You're dead, mister David never witnesses. I was you in

869
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:17.440
the bathroom, and you're gonna tell us everything, every buyer

870
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:22.760
you've worked with, every organization. What the hell is your name? Names, contacts, inventory, listens,

871
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.480
my wife, girlfriend, It's up to you how this ghost?

872
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:33.639
Because you know what I'm gonna do next. I'm gonna

873
00:49:33.639 --> 00:49:36.320
find her, whoever she is, I'm gonna find her, and

874
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:40.679
I'm gonna hurt her. You're apprehended carrying details of the

875
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:43.480
location something code named the Rabbit's Foot.

876
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.000
I'm gonna make her bleed and cry and call out

877
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:48.800
your name, and you're not gonna be able to do ship.

878
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.440
Do you know why? What is it Rabbit's foot? Because

879
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:55.639
you're gonna be this close to dead and who's the buyer?

880
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.679
And then I'm gonna kill you right in front of her,

881
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:02.719
And I'm gonna ask you one more time, what's your name?

882
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:05.199
What is your rabbits? Who are you byer. You don't

883
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:06.880
have any idea what ell is going on here?

884
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:09.599
I mean you saw what I did your little blonde

885
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:13.280
friend at the factory, right, Dude, that's such an awesome scene.

886
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:15.719
That's the scene I wanted to talk about for Strong Performance.

887
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:19.559
Uh Phillip Seymour Hoffman. This is Ethan questioning Owen Davian

888
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:24.400
in that cargo plane. Dude, what the hell is your name?

889
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:28.719
You have a wife, I'm going.

890
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:33.679
To the scene is so great because you've got You've

891
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:37.039
got Ethan and you've got Owen, and they are both

892
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:41.880
questioning one another at the same like it's it's like

893
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:46.480
dueling banjos here and they're both hostile and it's and

894
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:49.599
they're both you're about to cross the line. And then

895
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:53.440
they both do cross the line. Dude, It's like you said,

896
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:56.400
Ethan wants to know about the rabbit's foot. Davian wants

897
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:59.079
to know about where is where you can find his

898
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:01.800
his significant others so he can he can murder her.

899
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:04.960
And then he started he starts talking about Lindsay, and

900
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:08.400
Ethan just snaps like you know, Ethan has crossed the

901
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:11.880
line because you got Luther is like trying to talk

902
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:15.880
him down Ethan, this isn't you man.

903
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:17.679
You know, cutting the zip ties out of the chair. Yep.

904
00:51:18.320 --> 00:51:23.840
What's great The fact that Hoffman is just so diabolical.

905
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.400
He looks so in control, and he's looks so menacing

906
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:32.559
until he's hanging from that open cargo bay door thirty

907
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:35.079
thousand feet up and like the wind is whipping and

908
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:39.440
he he looks terrified. And meanwhile Ethan cuts a strap

909
00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:42.000
and he falls a little bit lower. Ethan cuts another

910
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:43.800
strap and then there's one strap left that Ethan's going

911
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.000
for it, and Luther's like, Ethan, you know, dude. It

912
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:51.400
ratchets up big time there, and it's such amazing just.

913
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.840
To sit up once they get him back up into

914
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:58.960
the plane and get the cargo door closed. What I'm

915
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:06.440
selling and who I'm selling to, there's the last thing

916
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:16.199
you should be concerned about. Ethan. He's like, so Ethan, it's.

917
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:22.199
Like he just wanted to know his name, and you know, yeah,

918
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:23.960
and the fact that the fact that cruise is over

919
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:25.719
there and he's he needs a moment to catch his

920
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:29.360
catch his breath, yeah, he's it's they're both exhausted, they

921
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:33.320
both it's a traumatic moment for both of them. Ethan. Yeah,

922
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:38.000
dude's such a good scene, such a good scene. Look,

923
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.599
I I know we're not gonna you know, we're not

924
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:43.719
picking the scene, but can we just mention quickly because

925
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:45.159
it's it's mission to possible, we gott to talk at

926
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:50.159
least one big action sequence. Oh yeah, I don't care

927
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:54.079
what anyone says. I'm not gonna look it up. Actually,

928
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:55.599
you know what, I will look it up. Hold on

929
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:56.360
a second.

930
00:52:56.679 --> 00:52:57.639
What we're looking for?

931
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:04.119
The fastest man in the world. Oh yes, dude, Okay,

932
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.639
I'm calling it right here. I don't care what the

933
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:11.360
World Athletics Championships have to say about this. I don't

934
00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:12.800
care what Guinness has to say about it. I don't

935
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.679
care what anyone says about it. The fastest man in

936
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:19.360
the world. If you want to believe it's Usain Bolt,

937
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.840
go for it. But the truth is that it's Tom

938
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:26.079
Cruise and the only reason why he doesn't have the

939
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.679
title is because he hasn't officially entered the Olympics. Are

940
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:33.559
you know one of these races? Yeah, Tom Cruise with

941
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:36.400
those those knife hands, running hands.

942
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.639
Yeah, there is there a.

943
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:42.320
Better think about this. Can anyone Can anyone run better

944
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:43.880
on screen than Tom Cruise.

945
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:48.119
Oh by far, No, I know so, and even just

946
00:53:48.199 --> 00:53:53.159
comparing action stars, and it pops into my head every

947
00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:56.519
time I see Tom Cruise running because I'm like, it's believable.

948
00:53:56.599 --> 00:53:58.840
He's trucking. I mean, he's getting to where he needs be.

949
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:03.079
And then I flashed back to like just classic Steven

950
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:10.280
Segall films and you see he's not good, he's good.

951
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:10.519
He's.

952
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:12.079
No.

953
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:16.480
I just Tom Cruise has got like he's the fastest runner,

954
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:20.519
he's the coolest looking runner. Is this the bridge attack?

955
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:26.800
It's spectacular. You know where we've got the bridge is

956
00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:29.320
under you know what we got these like Apache helicopters.

957
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.440
They're firing missiles, rockets whatever. People are getting shot at.

958
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:36.320
A chunk of the bridge is missing, and Cruise does

959
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:38.400
that I'm gonna go for it moment where he's gonna

960
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.760
jump over like a nine yea, tosses the gun over

961
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:45.280
and then it's like it's like eight nine feet of

962
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:49.519
missing bridge. Does that? Here's what Cruise does. Awesome and

963
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:50.840
he does it. I think he does it twice in

964
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:54.480
this movie. Even when he's running and he does the jump,

965
00:54:54.880 --> 00:55:00.920
he's doing the running in mid air, which tells me, yeah,

966
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:02.880
he is like his arms and legs are moving like

967
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:06.519
he's running. I have to believe that if I ever

968
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:11.320
need to jump over an impossible distance, if I do that,

969
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.679
it will propel me further and higher.

970
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:21.360
It has to because it's Tom Cruise. I don't know

971
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.599
it's because he's the fastest man alive.

972
00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:27.559
I think so. But that bridge attack, you know, I mean,

973
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:29.119
there's so many awesome scenes, but I just want to

974
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:31.079
point out because it's it's one of the one of

975
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:35.199
the best shots of Tom careers running well. And you

976
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:39.320
know what I love is like as spectacular as it

977
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:43.840
is the hyper realism. Yeah, he's running. When he's running,

978
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.039
he's like running at the camera and that explosion happens

979
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:49.599
behind him and it kind of throws him like hard

980
00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:50.480
left into.

981
00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.920
The vehicle dots in or whatever it is that.

982
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:56.840
Nissan that looks like it hurt like a lot of bit. Yeah,

983
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.280
you're dislocating your shoulder there. Ethan Hunt just jumps back

984
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:03.239
up and then he makes that incredible leap, you know,

985
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.400
and it's it's it's India jonestyle because he doesn't clear it,

986
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:10.079
but he catches himself and has to pull himself up.

987
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:16.239
Now, I feel like the craziest bounce from that scene, though,

988
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:20.159
is like philips seymour Hoffman on the helicopter getting out there.

989
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:23.840
Two seconds later tries to call his soon to be

990
00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:27.079
wife and they're already on their way to get her.

991
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.599
This is how quick this is unfolded.

992
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:35.920
This guy David is like, take me straight there. You know.

993
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:38.480
We're grabbing her.

994
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.440
But you know, we know, like David has the information

995
00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:43.639
because of credups character.

996
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:47.159
Yeah, so it kind of makes sense like he does

997
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:50.639
when when you're first watching you're like, how the hell

998
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:51.039
did he?

999
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.039
Yeah wait, I mean I know he's I know, he's

1000
00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.840
like a super genius. You know, he's a smart guy.

1001
00:56:56.880 --> 00:57:01.159
But come on, yeah, yeah, I don't know about that.

1002
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:02.920
You might want to you don't want to go with

1003
00:57:03.000 --> 00:57:04.039
like freshen up, you don't want.

1004
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:04.480
Get to change it?

1005
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:10.159
No goodnapper exactly, still wearing that wine stained shirt from

1006
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:15.199
the you know, from Rome, but okay, exactly, Yeah, Garrett,

1007
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:19.599
let's run the numbers here. Mission Impossible three released May fifth,

1008
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:23.679
two thousand and six, with an official Garrett Gibson runtime of.

1009
00:57:25.159 --> 00:57:25.960
I Didn't have it this?

1010
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:27.480
Did you always do it?

1011
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:29.440
I dropped this one.

1012
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.440
I've been conditioned from I.

1013
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:34.480
Want to shoot from the hip and say two hours

1014
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:37.519
and thirteen minutes. I'm probably wrong with that's.

1015
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:41.199
One hundred and twenty six minutes. You're not too far.

1016
00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:43.400
Damn Okay, yeah, okay, seventeen.

1017
00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:46.639
When you're not here, When you're not here, I still

1018
00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:50.159
like I pause for like a quick second because I'm like, oh, wait, Garret, here.

1019
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:51.239
Is Garrett about to drop this?

1020
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:53.119
Garrett knows the run time?

1021
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:57.119
Garrett. That's funny. I got all my notes everything, forgot

1022
00:57:57.159 --> 00:57:59.159
the damn run time about that?

1023
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:01.199
Yeah, I just was wait, I was ready. I was like,

1024
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:05.239
I gotta say it. At the time, this was the

1025
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:10.679
fourth largest opening ever, debuting on four thousand and fifty

1026
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:15.679
four theater screens simultaneously. That's pretty impressive. Obviously, it's the

1027
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:18.559
number one movie it's opening weekend. It stays in the

1028
00:58:18.599 --> 00:58:21.599
top ten for its first six weeks. It is the

1029
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.519
second movie in two thousand and six to pass the

1030
00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:28.800
one hundred million dollar mark. On a one hundred and

1031
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:32.639
fifty million dollar budget. It finished with a worldwide gross

1032
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:36.440
of three hundred ninety eight point five million dollars. Now

1033
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:40.280
here's where it gets a little interesting. While it is

1034
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:44.679
the lowest grossing mission impossible film in the entire series.

1035
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:47.800
It's the eighth biggest movie of two thousand and six.

1036
00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:49.880
It's actually kind of crazy.

1037
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:52.920
Yeah, three is the lowest grossing one.

1038
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.519
How about that, which I feel like again, that's where

1039
00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:58.760
they figured out the formula finally for like Benji and

1040
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:03.000
yeah Uthor and everything. So oh well, that's that's crazy

1041
00:59:03.039 --> 00:59:03.239
to me.

1042
00:59:03.559 --> 00:59:06.960
And well here's what's really crazy. Think about this. It's

1043
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:10.639
one hundred and fifty million dollar budget. Yeah, that is

1044
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:15.639
the highest budget ever approved for a director making their

1045
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:16.559
feature film debut.

1046
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:20.679
Well, you dude, yeah, I mean and at that point

1047
00:59:20.679 --> 00:59:24.559
in time, I think I don't even think the one

1048
00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:27.159
parts of the Caribbean film had been made yet for

1049
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:29.000
the like two hundred and fifty and I mean that

1050
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:31.559
was something. Yeah that Yeah, so.

1051
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:34.280
I'll be honest. You know, listeners, I got to ask

1052
00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.400
if you if if Alias, if you've watched Alias, if

1053
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:39.960
it's if it's awesome, please let let us know, tell

1054
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:42.239
us in the comments, tell us, email us, drop us

1055
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:46.280
the line. I've never seen it, but doing some research

1056
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:50.239
for this, I'm so interested in watching Alias now because

1057
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:54.280
this is a show that Tom Cruise Binge watched two

1058
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:57.880
seasons of it was enough for him to put production

1059
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:02.079
of Mission Impossible on hold for a year and again

1060
01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.880
Cruise and like what Paula Wagner at the time, they're

1061
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:07.880
the producers on this, it's enough for him to go

1062
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:10.679
into Paramount and say, yeah, I'm gonna need one hundred

1063
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:12.599
and fifty million dollars for this guy who's never made

1064
01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:13.239
a movie.

1065
01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:18.320
Before, which is yeah, absolutely insane, and they agreed to it.

1066
01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.199
Yeah, well, and we're all we're all better for it.

1067
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:23.519
Yeah, we're of my favorites.

1068
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:27.760
Yeah, six point nine out of ten on IMDb, seventy

1069
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:31.559
three percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, three point five out

1070
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:35.239
of five on Letterboxed, and it received an A minus

1071
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:39.280
on Cinema Scores A plus to f scale more numbers

1072
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:43.559
for you. At the time, this was Tom Cruise's seventh

1073
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:47.760
consecutive film to gross over one hundred million dollars domestically.

1074
01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:53.199
Guy is a hit machine on the show, and this

1075
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:59.199
movie is the first film to be released simultaneously on DVD, HD,

1076
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:03.719
DVD and Blu ray. That happened on October thirtieth, two

1077
01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:04.320
thousand and six.

1078
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:07.519
That's impressive.

1079
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:10.639
I mean before that, it was like, hey, you know,

1080
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:14.119
you can get it on DVD, you can wait for

1081
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:16.079
Blu Ray. And then we went through a phase where

1082
01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:17.440
it's like, hey, you can get it on Blu.

1083
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:20.719
Ray, you can wait for four DVD. Yeah yeah.

1084
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.079
Now it's like, hey you can get it and it's

1085
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:26.400
gonna be Blu Ray, DVD, four K steel book, yep.

1086
01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:28.320
Everything all it's all out there.

1087
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:31.360
Not to take us off on a tangent here, but

1088
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:38.159
see what happened with Who's It PlayStation recently. This just happened.

1089
01:01:38.440 --> 01:01:45.519
People are super pissed. Five hundred movie titles that were

1090
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:49.599
available on PlayStation are no longer available on PlayStation due

1091
01:01:49.639 --> 01:01:54.800
to licensing rights. No, everyone that bought those movies, those

1092
01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:59.000
digital downloads, Yeah, sorry about your luck. They're gone.

1093
01:01:59.039 --> 01:01:59.239
Dude.

1094
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:02.559
I'd be pissed put out a statement that was just

1095
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:07.840
like they're no longer. It was the coldest most f

1096
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:12.280
you to peep to their customer base, like they just like, yeah,

1097
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:17.039
this happened, thanks for your understanding or something. I'd be

1098
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:21.239
so pissed, but I just I pointed out because this

1099
01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:26.320
is exactly why you've got to buy stuff on physical media.

1100
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:28.320
You gotta buy the VD, you gotta buy the Blu Ray.

1101
01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:33.280
Yeah I say it, you know, not because I'm aware

1102
01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:37.719
that these streaming companies will screw you over because they don't.

1103
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:39.800
You know, you don't own the movie. You just own

1104
01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:42.519
you own the right to watch it, as long as

1105
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:47.000
they pay for the right to license it. Yeah, that's it,

1106
01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:49.679
you know. I saw like this, like Apple did this

1107
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.119
like ten years ago. They lost a bunch of their

1108
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:55.840
film titles and people just people saw their iTunes lists

1109
01:02:55.880 --> 01:02:59.440
just disappear. They didn't do jack shit for him. So no,

1110
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.079
I don't. I know, well, I know that that's gonna happen,

1111
01:03:03.159 --> 01:03:05.039
But I'm always like, what if what if the cable

1112
01:03:05.079 --> 01:03:06.960
goes out? What if the what if the Internet goes out?

1113
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:09.079
Yep, you know.

1114
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:12.760
I've got Garrett, if you look behind me to.

1115
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.480
The left and right a couple, Yeah, I've.

1116
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:19.639
Got I've got about fifteen hundred reasons not to worry

1117
01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:22.960
about if the yeah, the Internet falls out, falls apart.

1118
01:03:23.639 --> 01:03:26.039
But yeah, you gotta you gotta, you know. But anyways,

1119
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:28.800
I tell you that story not to throw shade at PlayStation.

1120
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:32.920
But there's been a surge. Apparently this has already created

1121
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:37.360
a surge in physical media. People are buying titles up. Yeah,

1122
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:38.440
so I thought it was awesome.

1123
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:43.039
Yeah, yeah. I mean that's yeah, revitalization, I mean, yeah.

1124
01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:46.400

listening on Patreon, let's get to it. Welcome back, Garrett.

1138
01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:32.719
We have just been having a very interesting conversation over

1139
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:37.480
on our Patreon version of this talking about the Mission

1140
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:41.840
Impossible movies that we could have had, who could have

1141
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:45.119
directed them, who could have started them. And we're not

1142
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.039
going to talk about that now because you gotta go

1143
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:47.960
to Patreon if you want that.

1144
01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:54.199
I mean, we discussed that in the controversy being Tom

1145
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:56.280
Cruise and a little known show.

1146
01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:00.960
Yeah, how about that. Well, let's wrap things up, Garrett.

1147
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:04.119
I gotta ask you. Someone watches Mission Impossible three and

1148
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:07.719
they say, this guy JJ Abrams is incredible. I know,

1149
01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:10.880
I get it. He's he's the guy that did the

1150
01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:13.840
Star Trek reboot and he's done some big stuff.

1151
01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:15.400
Star Wars and everything he's done.

1152
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:18.440
Yeah, he did some Star Wars. Yeah, But I want something.

1153
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:21.679
Did this guy ever do any kind of underrated stuff?

1154
01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:26.239
Did he do something small? Garrett? Someone wants an underrated

1155
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:29.159
project from JJ Abrams, whether he wrote it, whether he

1156
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:34.159
directed it, or whether he possibly appeared in the film.

1157
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:35.639
What would you recommend?

1158
01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:39.039
Well, if I told you there's a small film that

1159
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:44.119
he co wrote in nineteen ninety seven, a buddy comedy

1160
01:05:44.159 --> 01:05:48.599
film that started two actors from the Lethal Weapon franchise

1161
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:52.960
Joe Peshi and Danny Glover called Gone Fishing before he

1162
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:58.199
went by the name of JJ Abrams, credited as Jeffrey Abrams.

1163
01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:02.039
If I told you, jeff are you serious right now?

1164
01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:04.880
What if I told you that he co wrote Gone

1165
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:08.840
Fishing under the name of Jeffy Jeffrey Abrams. If I

1166
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:11.239
told you that and slightly.

1167
01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:15.559
First off, like, I don't know why. I never I

1168
01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:18.840
never thought like, what is JJ Abrams? What did the

1169
01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:19.559
Jays stands for?

1170
01:06:20.519 --> 01:06:25.159

How about that? Okay? Jeffrey Abrams. Yeah, Jeffrey Johnson talking

1178
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:51.360
about Jeffrey Abrams. How about that? Okay? All right, Uh,

1179
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:55.519
I got one listen. This should have been a big,

1180
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:58.840
big blockbuster. I know they kind of touted it as such,

1181
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.280
but definitely more on the underrated side. And it just

1182
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:07.320
so happens. We have covered this movie before a.

1183
01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:12.199
Couple of seasons. It was okay, it wasn't then okay.

1184
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:16.239
Yeah, we've covered it. Twenty eleven. He does He does

1185
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:19.320
what I would basically call a love letter to Steven Spielberg,

1186
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:23.760
a sci fi movie called Super Eighth. He written, written

1187
01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:29.280
and directed by Jeffrey Abrams or j J Abrams. Yeah,

1188
01:07:29.320 --> 01:07:32.920
this is it's it's just a it's such a good movie.

1189
01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:35.719
This is like a I don't know if it's her debut,

1190
01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:41.159
but uh el Fanning da Codas, yes, sister, yeah, I

1191
01:07:41.400 --> 01:07:47.360
be Yeah, damn good movie though, listeners. You know, I

1192
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:50.599
could talk about that for like ten minutes, but I

1193
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:53.079
talked about it for like an hour on that that episode,

1194
01:07:53.239 --> 01:07:56.360
So listener, but go back check out our Super eight episode.

1195
01:07:56.360 --> 01:07:58.119
That was the I think I don't think, I know.

1196
01:07:58.239 --> 01:07:59.960
That was the first time we talked about J. J. Abrams.

1197
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:01.960
So if you haven't seen that.

1198
01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:04.559
Your long joy ride here is what I thought you

1199
01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:05.639
were going to get with.

1200
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:09.960
Oh yeah, because we you and I we had we

1202
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:18.439
well you know what, let's be fair, that wasn't that

1203
01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:21.560
wasn't an episode that we streamed that was actually exclusive

1205
01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:27.239

1206
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:28.800
but he wrote it, didn't.

1207
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:31.560
He yeap, He was one of the writers on it

01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:34.279
and came in did the clean up for the alternate

1209
01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:36.199

the lovely and talented slasher girl Amanaganic we're talking about.

1216
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:03.319
We're talking about joy Ride and that was an awesome episode,

1217
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:05.520
had so much fun. I always do have a blast

1218
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:09.159
when when Amanda joins Ushah the rules like, it's got

1219
01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:11.840
to be a scary movie and it should be a slasher,

1220
01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:15.840
you know, So don't worry. She will be back October.

1221
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:19.640
We've got an impressive lineup, and Garrett, I know you'll

1222
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.199
you'll be on most, if not all, of those episodes too.

1223
01:09:22.840 --> 01:09:26.720
Oh yeah, because I pitched a two thousand and six

1224
01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:30.000
film to you to add to that. Yep, and I

1225
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:31.880
don't I don't know if you've seen it or not,

1226
01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:36.520
but the sequels already being filmed. Oh okay, and now

1227
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:37.640
it'sday about a month ago.

1228
01:09:37.840 --> 01:09:40.359
So all right, well let's talk about that in October,

1229
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:42.439
because I know I know which movie you're talking about.

1230
01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:45.800
Now we're gonna cover it. I have to believe obviously

1231
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:47.079
you're going to recommend this one, right.

1232
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:53.760
Oh, this has to be I'd say, in my top

1233
01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:57.039
three favorite mission possibles, this might be number two. For

1234
01:09:57.079 --> 01:09:59.760
me my number two second favorite. Yeah.

1235
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:01.520
Now I got to ask, like, is the is the

1236
01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:03.640
note is the number one pick? Is it the original

1237
01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:05.640
from ninety six or is there a different one?

1238
01:10:06.359 --> 01:10:10.600
So I absolutely just said that the original is amazing.

1239
01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:12.880
There's no wrong answer, by the way.

1240
01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:16.479
Yeah, I'd say it's one, and it's a toss up

1241
01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:20.000
between three and six. For me, it is number two

1242
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.279
and the other one's number three.

1243
01:10:21.800 --> 01:10:24.560
Six. That's a yeah.

1244
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:28.600
Oh no, that's Fallout Yeah, fall Out yeah, Fallout.

1245
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:33.720
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, dude when he when he cocks

1246
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:37.840
the fists, yeah, you know, Oh, that's just the bat.

1247
01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:39.359
That's one of the coolest moves ever.

1248
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:40.319
It is.

1249
01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:45.239
Yeah, fall Out's awesome. I don't know if if I

1250
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:48.479
pressure it that on our patren portion of it, we

1251
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:50.840
should have ranked these, but I don't know what that

1252
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:51.239
I could.

1253
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:53.279
They would be rough.

1254
01:10:54.039 --> 01:10:57.479
I think I think to be fair, I'm sorry, John Wu,

1255
01:10:58.039 --> 01:11:02.199
I'd say like coming in last place is mission impossible

1256
01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:08.640
to Yeah, and then I think one three Ghost Protocol,

1257
01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:12.560
Rogue Nation, Fallout, Dead Recording, and Final Recording, or they

1258
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:14.279
might be a tie for one for first.

1259
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:15.840
So I think it's for me.

1260
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:16.960
I think it might be a tie.

1261
01:11:17.359 --> 01:11:19.279
Yeah, it's a solid series, dude.

1262
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:21.239
I mean, yeah, it's very solid. Do you think it's done?

1263
01:11:22.039 --> 01:11:25.880
I mean they say it is, uh, I mean sixty

1264
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:29.159
two years old. It appears that they like to do

1265
01:11:29.680 --> 01:11:33.359
anywhere between two to six years in between films. Yeah,

1266
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:38.239
I just I mean we would have to hear something start,

1267
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:41.520
the rumbling start in the next like six to twelve months,

1268
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:42.880
if we're getting another one.

1269
01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:47.199
Miling You remember this, Milely Nitpick. I don't know if

1270
01:11:47.239 --> 01:11:48.720
I talked about this on our back of the box

1271
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:52.319
office episode for it, Milely Nitpick of the movie was

1272
01:11:52.359 --> 01:11:57.720
out ended the last that it just felt too just

1273
01:11:57.920 --> 01:11:58.760
Hallmark movie.

1274
01:11:59.359 --> 01:11:59.720
It did.

1275
01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:03.159
So let's all let's all agree to meet and then

1276
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:05.960
not talk to each other, just glance and then walk

1277
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:09.239
our separate way. I don't think it should end it

1278
01:12:09.239 --> 01:12:13.000
that way, No, I think I think it would have

1279
01:12:13.039 --> 01:12:14.880
made It would have made sense for Hunt to die

1280
01:12:15.399 --> 01:12:19.239
in the field like heroically. I would have been okay

1281
01:12:19.279 --> 01:12:22.399
with that. I would have been okay with him surviving. Well,

1282
01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:25.680
obviously he does survive, But I just at what point

1283
01:12:25.760 --> 01:12:29.640
does Tom Cruise say I can't leap off this mountain,

1284
01:12:29.960 --> 01:12:34.800
or hang from this plane or free fall from this skyscraper,

1285
01:12:36.199 --> 01:12:36.640
you know.

1286
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:41.760
And that's I forget what you actor. I saw doing

1287
01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:45.680
an interview. It is either Henry Camp or Simon Peg

1288
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:47.880
one of the two. But he's like, yeah, I'm trying

1289
01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:51.640
to do this stunt and stunt coordinators now what means like, like,

1290
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:53.399
what what do you do when they tell you no?

1291
01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:58.560
He's like, I get no, stunt guy, that's.

1292
01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:03.439
You know what I'm thinking about this though, because you

1293
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:07.039
remember like when this when this movie came out, Yeah,

1294
01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:11.000
there was some some whispers around Hollywood that this would

1295
01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:14.800
be Cruise's final time as Ethan Hunt, and then they

1296
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:17.479
were going to bring in a new agent, I m

1297
01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:19.720
F agent and Brad Pitt was going to be the

1298
01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:22.680
new face of Vision Impossible. And of course that that

1299
01:13:23.640 --> 01:13:28.159
didn't happen, but you know, I think everyone probably thought

1300
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:31.600
it might happen when Jeremy Renter showed up, of course,

1301
01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:34.920
and I think it was ghost protocol, wouldn't it ghost?

1302
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:35.439
Yeah?

1303
01:13:35.479 --> 01:13:35.720
Yeah?

1304
01:13:36.560 --> 01:13:39.239
Yeah? Then after that, yeah.

1305
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.840
Yeah, I don't know. I could see I could see

1306
01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:46.239
Hunt still being like the let let him be the

1307
01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:49.359
the the guy on the phone, you know your mission,

1308
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:51.079
should you choose to accept it, that would have been

1309
01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:53.760
that'd be kind of cool. But I think I think

1310
01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:57.880
paramount and you know, they they just bought HBO, so

1311
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.520
they got they got a lot of stuff to figure out.

1312
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:05.560
But I say, maybe maybe give it ten years.

1313
01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:07.920
Reboot it to do reboot yeah.

1314
01:14:07.760 --> 01:14:09.960
Yeah, and then and then give me seventy year old

1315
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:12.760
Tom Cruise as the which.

1316
01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:16.600
Is by far probably just say it looks the exact same.

1317
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:20.600
He's gonna look pretty much the same. And maybe he's

1318
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:23.800
in the field. Yeah, like maybe the new guy has

1319
01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:26.960
to Maybe maybe I m F is compromised and Hunt

1320
01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:30.079
is taken, and you know, the whole thing is, can

1321
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:33.319
he can the new guy get him and extract him

1322
01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:36.039
before they get the secrets from Hunt?

1323
01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:36.319
Yeah?

1324
01:14:36.359 --> 01:14:38.000
Or you know, so I don't know, something.

1325
01:14:37.800 --> 01:14:40.319
Like gosh, they're gonna have a hard time kidnapped. I'm

1326
01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:42.239
just going to tell you now, Yeah, I don't kid

1327
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:46.600
squarely year old, squirrely seventy year old Ethan Hunt. I mean,

1328
01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:47.239
I don't think it.

1329
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:51.399
Has I don't think it happens either. Or maybe maybe

1330
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:52.600
he's just gonna keep doing them.

1331
01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:55.720
I don't know exactly, I hope. So, I mean, I've

1332
01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:57.920
not gotten tired of this series.

1333
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:00.840
I mean, but I'm not I'm not near tired of it.

1334
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.880
And think about like, like we said, Final Reckoning at

1335
01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:09.520
sixty one years old, he looks very much believably forty

1336
01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:10.319
years old.

1337
01:15:10.720 --> 01:15:13.079
Yeah he does, yeah, like physically.

1338
01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:17.560
So yeah, maybe he maybe he keeps going. I don't know. Listeners,

1339
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:19.600
what do you think? You do? You want another Mission

1340
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:23.159
Impossible movie? Do? We? Would you keep seeing him? You know?

1341
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:25.720
At what point does Tom Cruise age out of the

1342
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:28.279
of the role or you're like, it's it's come on,

1343
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:30.800
yeah does it? I don't. I don't buy it anymore.

1344
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:35.279
And keep in mind like Clint Eastwood made Crimachia when

1345
01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:40.039
he was like, what ninety four ninety five and he's

1346
01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:42.720
punching out Yeah, he's punching out a couple of cowboys

1347
01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:42.880
in that.

1348
01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:44.479
So yeah, I was like.

1349
01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:49.239
Clint, come on man, it's yeah, yeah, come on, we'll see.

1350
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:54.439
Let's see. Oh man, uh listen. It is streaming on

1351
01:15:54.479 --> 01:15:57.199
Paramount Plus, along with I think pretty much every other

1352
01:15:57.239 --> 01:15:59.920
Mission Impossible movies. Yeah, if you don't have Paramount Plus,

1353
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:04.479
it is on Pluto TV free with ads and you

1354
01:16:05.359 --> 01:16:06.960
if you don't, I don't know, if you don't like

1355
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:08.840
ads and you don't want to pay for Paramount plus.

1356
01:16:08.920 --> 01:16:11.239
I guess you can rent it. It's pretty much on

1357
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:13.359
Apple and Prime and all the rest of them for

1358
01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:17.119
like three or four bucks. I own every one of them.

1359
01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.199
I've got the I'm the guy I bought the box set,

1360
01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:23.039
you know, the ones that aren't in the box set.

1361
