We’re back in the Danger Zone this week, chatting with Greg Tarzan Davis, callsign “Coyote.” Tarzan tells us about what the audition process was like, bonding with Tom Cruise and starring in another little movie called “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part 1” (he originally just wanted to follow McQ and Cruise around while they filmed). We also get his “Mission: Impossible” rankings and his thoughts on Tom’s hair! We’re pulling some G’s this week!

We kick off our Light the Fuselage miniseries dedicated to all things “Top Gun: Maverick” with the man himself, director Joseph Kosinski! This week we talk about what the director brought to the long-simmering sequel (he pitched Tom Cruise on the set of “Fallout!”), working with Val Kilmer, the emotional core of the movie and, of course, Tom Cruise’s hair!

It is upon us! Paramount has just unleashed the teaser trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part One” and we are breaking it all down. Join us for this bonus episode of Light the Fuse, with an even more in-depth analysis on our Patreon!

We’re back with David Vickery, visual effects supervisor for “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.” This week we discuss everything that went into the A400 sequence, the “biscuit rig” for the motorcycle chase, and the parachute rig at the end of the cold open. Also we get stories about Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, and “Jurassic World: Dominion!” Plus we get his movie rankings and his thoughts on why he loves Tom’s “Top Gun” haircut.

This episode we are joined by David Vickery, the visual effects supervisor for “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.” This week we talk about DNEG's (formerly called Double Negative) contribution to the project, Tom Cruise’s commitment to hold his breath underwater, and how they captured the shot of him jumping into the Torus (and how long they worked on that sequence). Also: some good-natured Robert Elswit antagonism! Get ready!

This week we are joined by Josh Tate, who produced behind-the-scenes material for “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.” Josh tells us about wanting to capture the making of the A400 stunt so people would understand that it was really Tom Cruise and not an effect, talks about the special relationship between Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie, and we discuss the “biscuit rig” used to film the motorcycle chase. A must-listen for ‘Rogue Nation’ maniacs!

We just got back from CinemaCon, where we saw the BRAND NEW trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part 1” and the entirety of “Top Gun: Maverick” (making this the first impromptu episode of Light the Fuselage). Get ready for our non-spoiler thoughts on “Top Gun: Maverick” and our frazzled analysis of the “M:I-7” trailer (we have a title!). Put on your aviators, crank up the Kenny Loggins, and let’s fly!

We are back with part 2 of our chat with independent filmmaker and “Mission Impossible” enthusiast BenDavid Grabinski. This time around we talk about the power of the “Fallout” trailer, why he’s excited (but nervous) about “M:I-7,” and Grabinski shares stories about the making of his Jackie Chan action comedy “Skiptrace.” Plus we get his “M:I” (and “John Wick”) rankings and absolutely nothing about his upcoming “Scott Pilgrim” anime.

This week we are joined by independent filmmaker and “Mission: Impossible” enthusiast BenDavid Grabinski, who tells us about his IMF tattoo and his “M:I-2” fan website that he began in the late '90s when he was just 15 (inspired by a similar site for “The Lost World”). We also talk about Joe Carnahan’s version of “M:I-3,” why he prefers “Days of Thunder” to “Top Gun,” and what changed about Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt from the fourth movie on.

Of all the unmade “Mission: Impossible” movies, few tantalize like the version of “Mission: Impossible 2” helmed by Oliver Stone. It’s been a mystery… until now. We go into detail on the script for this film, written by David Marconi with revisions by Michael Tolkin. If you’ve ever wanted to know what a “M:I” movie with an evil computer looks like, here we go! Welcome to a truly fascinating alternate universe.
