Our first installment of 2026 finds your friends in podcasting discussing why the President of the United States is so insistent on there being another Rush Hour movie from director Brett Ratner. Then, Dean and Phil delve into the two final “Mission: Impossible” movies, both 2023’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and 2025’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Then, they delve deep into the strengths and weaknesses of Guillermo del Toro’s Netflix film version of Frankenstein. Finally, just in time for Twelfth Night, they go thru a whole lot of seasonal fare, both movies and television specials, including “Pee-wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special”, the Rankin-Bass “Frosty the Snowman”, The Muppets Christmas Carol, and Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.
