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.

This week we’re revisiting our very first conversation with writer/director (and franchise stalwart) Christopher McQuarrie. In this super-sized episode we’ll go into detail about his contributions to “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” learn about some hidden Easter eggs in “Rogue Nation,” of course talk about “Fallout” (which at the time was just-released) and, of course, discuss Tom Cruise’s hair.

It’s the grand finale of our discussion with cinematographers Adrian Peng Correia (“Ramy,” "The Flight Attendant") and Andy Rydzewski (“PEN15”) about the look of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise! This week we dig deep into Ethan’s hair, get their film rankings, and Drew has to leave early, leaving Charles alone and scared. Also, Andy introduces a deeply cursed alternate timeline where Michael Bay made a “Mission: Impossible” movie.

It’s part three of our discussion with cinematographers Adrian Peng Correia (“GLOW,” “Kevin Can F**k Himself”) and Andy Rydzewski (“PEN15,” “Dollface”). In this episode Adrian gives us his thoughts on the style of some of the later films, while Andy argues that “Fallout” is messier (in a good way), and we talk about the switch from film to digital for aspects of “Fallout” and how digital might change the franchise forever.

This episode we continue our chat with cinematographers Adrian Peng Correia (“Love Life,” “Ramy”) and Andy Rydzewski (“PEN15,” “Dollface”), who analyze the look of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. This week Andy argues that the first two films are more playful than later entries (we disagree), we talk about J.J.’s growth as a filmmaker following “M:I-3,” and we discuss Robert Elswit’s style for “Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation.”

This week we kick off a mini-series with cinematographers Adrian Peng Correia (“The Flight Attendant,” “GLOW”) and Andy Rydzewski (“PEN15,” “Dollface”) discussing the look of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. In this episode we talk about the first film – how different it looks than the other installments and Stephen Burum’s old school approach to the material. Plus we get into the use of color in “M:I-3” and how its photography is very much of its time.

We’re back with part two of our amazing interview with production designer Jim Bissell, who worked his magic on both “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation.” This time we get into the finale of “Rogue Nation” (he says that it was always set in London, take that ship graveyard!), the record store (and how it switched from “Ghost Protocol” to “Rogue Nation”), and he shares stories from the production of “E.T.” and “The Rocketeer.” Plus, a little bit more about Brad Bird’s abandoned (for now!) “1906.”

This week is the first part of our chat with legendary production designer Jim Bissell, who worked on both “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation” (another one of the rare two-time department heads!). This week we talk about the train car, the car park, and how when he finished “Rogue Nation” he felt like he had made three movies. Also, learn why Brad Bird’s “1906” couldn’t get off the ground. Get ready, this is a good one!
