Midway Avenue Productions Presents, The Genre of Your Life Podcast!

Episode #76 | This week on The Genre of Your Life, Nick, Doug, and Moses return with a double review episode that spans both absurd comedy and high-octane action.

First, we dive into the hilariously offbeat world of Friendship — A24’s new comedy starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. Packed with surreal humor, awkward energy, and a surprising amount of heart, Friendship brings two comedic powerhouses together in a story about grown men trying (and often failing) to figure out how to actually be friends. We break down the jokes that hit, the ones that miss, and whether this one earns a spot among A24’s best comedies.

Then we go full blockbuster with our non-spoiler review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in what’s being hyped as the beginning of the end for the long-running action saga. We talk about the jaw-dropping stunts, the emotional stakes, and how this film sets the tone for the final chapter. No spoilers — just our honest reactions and where we think it lands in the franchise.

Expect plenty of laughs, hot takes, and maybe one or two bold claims about Paul Rudd’s career trajectory or whether Ethan Hunt is still Hollywood’s top action hero.
