think let's

1:47

get into

1:51

it baby.

1:54

Let's freaking

1:58

go. Wow.

2:00

Okay. A dog, how do you

2:02

feel? I feel amazing. I feel

2:04

hyped up. I feel like you got

2:06

the juice in it. Oh, I

2:08

got all the juice in me. All

2:11

72 flavors of juice running through my

2:13

veins right now. That was amazing. That

2:15

was one of the best action

2:17

movies I've ever seen in my life.

2:20

I'm with you. Yeah, Tom Cruise was

2:22

great, the entire cast was great. Phil

2:24

Seymour Hoffman, shout out to him,

2:26

that was an amazing villain role, amazing

2:29

performance. And I love the fact that

2:31

this movie, even though it's the third

2:33

one in the franchise, was still able

2:36

to find new ways to make

2:38

the stakes interesting. I feel like Jay

2:40

Jay Abrams was able to keep the

2:42

momentum of the film through the entire.

2:45

portion of the entire runtime because

2:47

there was never really a down moment.

2:49

There was never a slow part of

2:51

the movie. It just only kept ramping

2:54

up and the fact that we

2:56

started on the high of him believing

2:58

that his wife was in that chair

3:00

and that we thought that his wife

3:03

died at the top and that's

3:05

the cold open. I was like, wow,

3:07

I'm in, you son of a biscuit,

3:09

I'm here. And yeah, I am, I

3:12

am thrilled, I am. overstimulated, but

3:14

in the best way possible. I'm just,

3:16

I'm flabbergasted. Can you consider my gas

3:18

flabbered? And yeah, I got more thoughts,

3:21

but Tara, how you feeling? Oh,

3:23

man. That movie was so much fun.

3:25

We have never gotten so much Tom

3:27

Cruise running as we did in this

3:30

movie and they knew what they

3:32

were doing when they asked for that.

3:34

The one shot where he is just

3:36

running and he's like move move move

3:39

move move and it just keeps

3:41

going I mean that is like to

3:43

me that is like the strength of

3:46

like Tom Cruise and like just everything

3:48

that he does which is whackadoo wild.

3:50

I also think that he flew

3:52

off that. building dude he ran and

3:55

he jumped off that building he did

3:57

that that's freaking wild. Like it to

3:59

me you you come to the

4:01

Mission Impossible movies because of how Tom

4:04

set it up where he was like

4:06

I'm gonna do my own stunts and

4:08

he's not afraid to just reach

4:10

new limits. I mean it's just wild

4:13

like what we get to see in

4:15

this movie and also I think the

4:17

fact that It started out, I

4:19

always think this in action movies that

4:22

like, maybe there's not enough heart to

4:24

make us care for when people die

4:26

or their lives are at risk.

4:28

And I always say that Pixar does

4:31

it so well or Disney, right? They

4:33

set that up in the beginning. Somebody

4:35

dies or we get a little

4:37

bit of that juice. They don't have

4:40

to take a long time. her with

4:42

her friends, how they interact, how he

4:44

looks at her for us to

4:46

care about their relationship. You don't need

4:49

a full hour at the top to

4:51

set up a foundation. They gave us

4:53

a little bit of juice at the

4:56

top and then we're off and

4:58

we're freaking going. And what I love

5:00

about this movie is that any time

5:02

we talk about where Ving Rames is

5:05

asking about his engagement. We're moving,

5:07

we're in the middle of a mission.

5:09

And even when we're giving instructions on

5:11

something else or even if it's about

5:14

feelings like, hey, how did how

5:16

did that feel? We're putting a mic

5:18

on, we're getting ready for a mission.

5:21

And that is what I specifically love

5:23

about this movie. I know that

5:25

that is really hard. to actually get

5:27

to stand here and talk and give

5:30

us exposition. But I believe that because

5:32

of that, that's what makes this

5:34

movie so entertaining and the pacing so

5:36

well done is because every time we're

5:39

talking, we're also moving, we're on a

5:41

mission. We don't have to like,

5:43

you don't have to stand here and

5:45

talk and give us exposition is we

5:48

don't need it. What we want is

5:50

this movie. This is what we

5:52

want this all day every day we

5:54

got it you got it we did

5:57

it and yeah Jay Jay James really

5:59

did his thing with this one

6:01

I feel like this is the epitome

6:03

of a movie deserving of its title

6:06

because from the start to finish I

6:08

was like oh this feels impossible But

6:10

somehow we have defied the odds

6:12

and it's one of those films for

6:15

me where you see one of my

6:17

people love it, but to the films

6:19

that followed afterwards that we're taking

6:21

inspiration from this film and I was

6:24

like wow it's amazing how you you

6:26

we live in this world of cultural

6:28

influence and film influence and not

6:30

even realize it when you do it

6:33

was like okay that's why they did

6:35

this because of this and this specific

6:37

film works so well like the

6:39

stuff on the bridge and There's a

6:42

few other action scenes that are escaping

6:44

me at this particular moment, but the

6:46

fact that we were able to

6:48

do all of that, and it felt

6:51

so believable in spite of how heightened

6:53

it was, was incredible. And yeah, just

6:55

to go to the point that

6:57

you kind of made about the chemistry,

7:00

they didn't need an hour to set

7:02

that up. You felt it immediately. You

7:05

felt their chemistry from the jump

7:07

between him and his wife. And I

7:09

think that the beautiful thing about these

7:11

movies is that... Even though it's the

7:14

third one of the franchise, you can

7:16

just jump into this one not

7:18

having seen one and two and still

7:20

be thoroughly entertained because this isn't really

7:23

rely on your experience of those other

7:25

two ones. You like, okay, maybe

7:27

you can say like Ving Rames was

7:29

established in the first one, but yeah,

7:32

Lawrence Fishbird isn't in the first or

7:34

second one. Neither is his wife

7:36

or any of the other supporting cast,

7:38

but still it just has this immediate

7:41

energy to it where you care immediately

7:43

off the bat about him. his

7:45

wife his mission because they threw you

7:47

into this search this situation in which

7:50

you have so many questions and even

7:52

though you know the movies going

7:54

there You're still concerned for his life

7:56

in wondering how he's going to get

7:59

out of it, which is just the

8:01

tell of a great film and

8:03

a great filmmaker by having scenes that

8:05

not only raised the stakes, not only

8:08

have great action, but are able to

8:10

infuse character and story into that

8:12

action all at the same time, all

8:14

simultaneously. And I think that's like A1,

8:17

that's master class right there. And I

8:19

just, I'm. blown away. I'm still

8:21

blown away. And apparently these movies only

8:23

get better, which blows my mind because

8:26

that was one of the best movies

8:28

ever seen. Yeah, agreed. Man. And here's

8:30

the thing. Here's how many stunts

8:32

kind of like scenes we went through.

8:35

Any other, I think, normal action movie,

8:37

they had the fortunate blessing that they

8:39

have Tom Cruise and they have

8:42

two successful Mission Impossibles prior to this.

8:44

So their budget. here you go how

8:46

much money do you want and it's

8:49

probably given to them which is

8:51

why they were able to make a

8:53

movie that we all want to see

8:55

right off the bat when we get

8:58

to that building they talk about

9:00

it for two seconds then we're there

9:02

we're in it the guns on top

9:04

of the freaking car we're already at

9:07

what we would think would be

9:09

an escalation for the end of a

9:11

film right and then skip to also

9:13

that the the the the freaking helicopter

9:16

and it blows through that fire

9:18

And then also we're on the freeway,

9:20

the hole in there, the helicopter flying

9:22

through the freaking windmills. I mean, like

9:25

that was why, that was like,

9:27

they're so close, it's such a dangerous.

9:29

dangerous stunt the missile seeking and then

9:31

we're on the freeway you know they

9:34

break out Philip Seymour Hoffman that also

9:36

seems like an escalation that the

9:38

that we would have at the end

9:40

of a movie right and we're not

9:43

even there yet we're in the middle

9:45

and we're just like already so

9:47

invested but you've already hit it like

9:49

the on the action that we want

9:52

when we come to this movie we

9:54

have already gotten it through a

9:56

good three-force of it which is amazing

9:58

And I feel like the flip where

10:01

we all were like, oh, of course,

10:03

it cannot be Billy crude up,

10:05

right? Because he allowed Tommy Cruz

10:07

to break out in the elevator.

10:10

We're like, he's on our side.

10:12

Well, he's the one who brought

10:14

him into the first place. I

10:16

know, right? And then like, how

10:18

smart is it that he tells

10:20

him where to go? And from

10:22

the audience's perspective. we have already

10:24

set it up by having Kerry

10:26

Russell go it's it's it's it's

10:28

Lawrence right with his picture I'm

10:30

really it's freaking Lawrence and you

10:32

know Billy's giving him all this

10:34

information and if from the audience's

10:36

perspective we are we're like yes

10:38

Billy he's like malling 1406 and

10:40

here it is and here's this

10:42

thing to break you out and

10:44

we are so on his side

10:46

and it's so exciting and it's so

10:49

exciting and then that flip happens to

10:51

where you're like what you have to

10:53

do sadly with And I believe that

10:55

this is probably pulling from something

10:58

very real. I hope that it

11:00

doesn't have to do with someone

11:02

as bad as Philip being a

11:04

trafficker, a human trafficker, selling information

11:06

to another country. They only said

11:09

that once, I think if they

11:11

kept saying it, it would just,

11:13

it's a little too like, oh

11:15

God, like we gotta work with

11:17

this guy, otherwise three other traffickers

11:20

pop up. And you know, Billy

11:22

crude up in the end. His

11:24

argument is saying we get as close as

11:26

we get to that target and then

11:28

we're gonna blow it up. And then

11:31

what the US does is clean it

11:33

up. The argument at the end, none

11:35

of this movie was ever like, doesn't

11:38

make sense. It was all made sense

11:40

even with the flips and the turns

11:42

and the fact that when we thought

11:45

it was his wife in the chair

11:47

getting shot it was really just Philip

11:49

Seymour Hoffman's assistant right that

11:51

he had fired and so that would

11:54

make sense is like they put that

11:56

mask on her taper up and it's

11:58

like she is a viable option

12:00

for us to use and unfortunately

12:03

she's the one that you know

12:05

died so that sucks but I

12:07

feel like from beginning to end

12:09

in giving us all of this

12:11

and setting up the relationship the

12:13

one thing that I thought that

12:16

they did a really good job

12:18

of towards the end she was

12:20

asking so many questions his wife

12:22

I hate that I hate it

12:24

when I see it in a

12:26

script I'm not gonna play that

12:28

I don't want her to ask

12:31

them questions it's gonna be one

12:33

question because she's smart enough to

12:35

just defer. I see what's going

12:37

on. We don't have time for

12:39

this. I don't have. We don't

12:41

have time for you to be

12:43

like, why are we here? What

12:46

are you doing? How do you

12:48

know how to use a gun?

12:50

No. I didn't enjoy all of

12:52

those questions. But what I did

12:54

enjoy is they made it up.

12:56

for the lack thereof in her

12:58

character that I kind of saw

13:01

that we both were like we

13:03

don't have time for these questions

13:05

like stop writing her like a

13:07

girl who's like why how do

13:09

you know like I hate that

13:11

and she didn't play that I

13:14

absolutely cannot stand that in any

13:16

freaking script I'm like please just

13:18

don't and they really they made

13:20

up for it and I liked

13:22

that when he got up and

13:24

he's like you did that you

13:26

know and he's looking at at

13:29

crude dead on the ground and

13:31

we have the rabbitsits foot there

13:33

and he's like wow You know,

13:35

he taught her well, she did

13:37

it, she brought him back. I

13:39

thought, wow, what a great ending.

13:41

Truly. Like so happy that we,

13:44

and with them, the whole team

13:46

in the background being like, yeah,

13:48

you know, and them walking off

13:50

holding hands together, and it's just

13:52

something that we haven't gotten to

13:54

see specifically for Ethan Hunt before.

13:57

And we feel that. Spring's here,

13:59

baseball's in full swing, and if

14:01

hockey, and even e-run, for more

14:37

14:42

gut and my wife's gut is

people. Yeah, we feel it from

15:10

the beginning. We feel the love

15:12

between them from the beginning and

15:14

we root for them when they've

15:16

overcome the odds at the end.

15:18

And I think that's that's amazing.

15:20

Yeah, the movie did a lot

15:22

of really great stuff. I liked

15:25

even going back to the beginning

15:27

of the movie and how they

15:29

set that up. I thought that

15:31

was really intense, but also even

15:33

like a little bit further along

15:35

how they established not only What

15:38

happens at the end with the

15:40

chip but establishing that the stakes

15:42

are real because they had the

15:44

balls to kill Kerry Russell's character

15:46

in such a gruesome in your

15:48

face kind of fashion and Yeah,

15:50

that was that was all wild,

15:53

but the fact that they did

15:55

that Show that they're they're not

15:57

messing around but also the fact

15:59

that the script is super smart

16:01

because they took things from to

16:03

and made them better like the

16:05

fact that we had the mask

16:08

thing come back the fact that

16:10

we had the person who was

16:12

kidnapped wearing the mask and it

16:14

was a in service of helping

16:16

Ethan because White and two was

16:18

like the blonde dude looked like

16:20

Ethan but then he was really

16:23

Ethan the behind him and he

16:25

looked at the mask off and

16:27

the kind of did a reversal

16:29

of that was making the girl

16:31

who was his girlfriend. Yeah, and

16:33

I was like, okay, this is

16:36

how you do this is how

16:38

you utilize something that was a

16:40

little goofy in the last friend

16:42

last movie and make it work

16:44

in this movie. Also the boarding

16:46

cast was entirely great as well.

16:48

I like the fact that we

16:51

are able to have these characters

16:53

have this ensemble not necessarily need

16:55

to go super deep into everybody,

16:57

but give us just enough about

16:59

their relationship with Ethan to know

17:01

that we mess with them. Give

17:03

us just enough with his wife

17:06

to know that their bond is

17:08

real. Give us just enough of

17:10

the plot to really care, because

17:12

I'm a person who is of

17:14

character, who loves to deep dive

17:16

into characters, love arts, love, you

17:19

know, cerebral type of stuff, but

17:21

I think the fact that we're

17:23

able to get action coupled with

17:25

just enough to really ground us

17:27

in. the people that were following

17:29

is amazing and this is the

17:31

perfect balance of yeah that character

17:34

that plot and that action all

17:36

come together in like a beautiful

17:38

I don't know juggled kind of

17:40

way. Yeah and they also do

17:42

a really good job of showing

17:44

the team as like family because

17:46

they show up at 1406 and

17:49

they're like we heard we're here

17:51

for you. which makes it great

17:53

to have them like, you know,

17:55

cheering off in the background. What

17:57

I do think, and I hope

17:59

for the next ones, what I

18:01

assume from this movie, because it

18:04

was so amazing, and Simon Peg

18:06

is that levity. Anytime he delivers

18:08

a line, he just knows comedy.

18:10

He knows how to make it

18:12

grounded, but also deliver. so that

18:14

you can have sort of a

18:17

giggle there that I assume that

18:19

the audience would be give us

18:21

more Simon Pegg even though I

18:23

I don't think we needed more

18:25

of him in this movie I

18:27

think this movie is like perfect

18:29

yeah but I think in in

18:32

thinking of it and if you

18:34

see Simon in this you would

18:36

go oh damn like is there

18:38

a way that we can incorporate

18:40

him more into this because he's

18:42

such a vibrant sort of comedic

18:44

energy that I think hits off

18:47

so well between him and Tom

18:49

Cruise I love it so I'm

18:51

excited to see what the future

18:53

holds especially if he has some

18:55

some callbacks yeah all right so

18:57

I've rotten tomatoes pulled that okay

19:00

on 2006 so no that's a

19:02

while ago okay I'll make a

19:04

guess critics yeah I'm gonna say

19:06

I hope they're not idiots. I'm

19:08

going to say 89. An audience,

19:10

I'm going to say 94. Critics.

19:12

202 reviews. 71%. Okay. What is

19:15

the audience? Is it only like

19:17

85 or something? What is it?

19:19

69%. That's crazy. That's wild. Are

19:21

you guys insane? What are you

19:23

guys doing? Did you fall asleep

19:25

into your popcorn? Like what are

19:27

you talking about? This movie is

19:30

freaking great! What? Look at that.

19:32

It's crazy. It literally goes from

19:34

10 minutes with his wife to

19:36

action, action, action, action. What? What

19:38

do you people want? I don't

19:40

even know. I don't know who

19:42

they were there was so much

19:45

harsher back then 2006. I don't

19:47

believeable. I don't want to know

19:49

you if you were if you

19:51

were in the theater you saw

19:53

this and you came out of

19:55

the theater and you were like

19:58

60% I didn't like it. Why?

20:00

Okay, so there's six years

20:02

between Mission Possible 1 and Mission

20:04

Possible 2 and if I remember

20:06

correctly Mission Possible 4 is 2011. Okay,

20:10

so this is another five years.

20:12

Yeah. Okay, wow.

20:15

That's, that, wow, that

20:17

like messed me up. I

20:20

don't know, okay,

20:22

fine, fine, whatever. I guess

20:24

I like bad movies, but

20:27

it's a great film. It's

20:29

like, those people are idiots. JJ

20:33

Abrams, I think he did

20:35

an amazing job. Truly.

20:38

That score does not reflect

20:40

the film making that happened here

20:42

and or the direction for

20:44

every actor in this. Like, I

20:46

believe that Philip Seymour Hoffman's

20:49

just throwing it, you know, throwing

20:51

it away just being like, if

20:53

you don't do it, I'm going to kill

20:56

her. Like, it's not, if you don't

20:58

do it, I'm going to kill her. No,

21:00

very matter of fact is like, It's

21:02

perfect. Casual, yeah. It's perfect. It's literally

21:04

such a great film that

21:06

I just think that anyone who

21:08

rated that, that low, you

21:10

don't watch films or something. Like, oh, go

21:13

away. You should be grounded. You

21:15

should be grounded. You should be grounded and taught

21:17

a lesson and like, you have to like

21:19

watch crappy films and then you'll come back

21:21

to this one and say this one's great. Critics

21:23

of You haven't seen enough. Go to your

21:26

room. Exactly. Go to your room and think

21:28

about what you've done. Over it. See. Done

21:30

with you. Out of here. Come

21:32

back when you've got some sense. Exactly.

21:34

Hopefully they got some sense with

21:36

four. I hope so. Like, those

21:38

ratings better come up because obviously

21:40

I'm a little heated. I'm a

21:42

little ticked right now. So

up. Sometimes on Zoom it doesn't quite work.

23:26

But don't turn up too high so other

23:28

people can see it. We just need to

23:30

spit it out. Steal the plan. We just

23:32

need to spit it out right now. You

23:34

need to kill... Oh my God. Wait. Is

23:37

timer broken? No. Oh no.
