And we’re back with Phil Pirrello, who long ago was a marketing intern for “Mission: Impossible 3.” On this week’s show we discuss the premiere and Tom Cruise’s ambitious land/sea/air approach, why Will Smith introduced the movie and conferring with J.J. Abrams before he showed the first teaser trailer. We also get his movie and hair rankings and a story about the time he tried to ask Tom Cruise about his hair.

This week we talk to Phil Pirrello, a former marketing intern at Paramount circa the release of “Mission: Impossible 3.” Today we talk to Phil about his history with “M:I” and J.J. Abrams, about sneaking onto the sets of “3” (including Ethan’s house) and alternate versions of the teaser poster. We also learn what items Phil stole from the set and get into the viral marketing stunt that turned into a very real bomb scare.

This episode we are revisiting our conversation with master cinematographer Dan Mindel (“Mission: Impossible 3”). Mindel talks about his relationship with the franchise, the movie’s iconic use of close-ups (plus how he and JJ Abrams developed the look of the movie), and how closely he worked with the visual effects artists at ILM. We also dip into other parts of his career, including “Star Trek,” "Star Wars," “Shanghai Noon” and “John Carter.” It’s a ride!

This week we’re revisiting one of our biggest interviews, this time with legendary Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit, who shot both “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.” We get plenty of details about the making of both films, including (of course) what it was like to shoot the Burj. And Elswit also details how the 007, “Mission: Impossible,” and Bourne franchises are different (yes, he’s shot all three). A fascinating, in-depth chat with one of the masters!

This week we are joined by Michael Kehoe, who did craft service for “Mission: Impossible 2,” “3” and “Ghost Protocol.” Kehoe has worked with Cruise since “Jerry Maguire” and he talks about providing the set with amazing food trucks, encountering wild camels in Dubai and his unexpected cameos (yes, plural) in “Mission: Impossible 3.” Plus much, much more! Eat up!

Our third and final installment of Lightyear the Fuse is here, which charts how Pixar’s “Lightyear” was influenced by “Mission: Impossible.” This week director Angus MacLane and cinematographer Jeremy Lasky talk about what’s really important: Tom Cruise’s hair. We also get very deep into Jeremy and Angus’ "Mission" ranks, including how MacLane thinks that the best "Mission: Impossible" has yet to be made...

Welcome back to Lightyear the Fuse! We’re joined again by “Lightyear” director Angus MacLane and cinematographer Jeremy Lasky as we talk about composer Michael Giacchino, discuss how a big laugh in the Burj sequence in ‘Ghost Protocol’ was nearly ruined and we get details of a presentation MacLane did for Pixar about modern action movies. Ready to blast off?

We’re going to infinity and beyond with this special miniseries devoted to Pixar’s “Lightyear” and how the movie was inspired by “Mission: Impossible.” Director Angus MacLane and cinematographer Jeremy Lasky join us to talk about how the use of IMAX in "Ghost Protocol" influenced their approach to the format, how the structure of “Mission: Impossible” also impacted “Lightyear” and, of course, our shared love of Teddy Newton.

We’re back with Garvin Cross, who was Jeremy Renner's stunt double on “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.” This episode we get more Jackie Chan stories, why he was cast for a role in “Inception” and the “nightmare” of Shane Black’s “The Predator.” We also get into what it takes to be set on fire and of course have him talk about his favorite ‘Mission’ movies.

This week we are joined by Garvin Cross, a stunt performer on “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and Jeremy Renner’s stunt double. This week we talk about what it was like being held up by wires for the magnet gag, the BMW car park sequence and being mistaken for Daniel Craig. We also talk about Tom Cruise’s hair and hear about filming Jackie Chan’s “Rumble in the Bronx.”
