Welcome back for part two with Blake Howard, host of One “Heat” Minute and many other amazing podcasts (including “Zodiac” Chronicle and Miami Nice), with our breakdown of a minute from “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.” We finally get to the minute (minute 13), talk about why he chose it, and discuss the horniness of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. We also get his hair and movie rankings, and Blake weighs in on the new film being shot on digital!

This week we are joined by Blake Howard, host of One “Heat” Minute and many other amazing podcasts (including “Zodiac” Chronicle and Miami Nice). Together, we are breaking down a single minute of “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” but before that we get his “Mission: Impossible” origin story, why “Rogue Nation” is his favorite installment, and how the franchise connects to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy and the 007 films. It’s a good one!

This week we continue our celebration of “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" by speaking with Bogdan himself, Miraj Grbic! Grbic tells us about getting the role of our favorite “big hairy Russian,” bluffing his way through speaking Russian, and where Brad Bird ranks amongst the filmmakers he’s worked with. Plus, funny Tom Cruise stories and a brief discussion of “F9!”

This week we are joined by Ilia Volok, who plays shady underworld character The Fog in “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.” In this lively interview, Volok tells the story of how he was cast, what it was like sharing a scene with Tom Cruise, and his experience with director Brad Bird. Also find out what Cruise suggested about his performance, and stories about Volok working with Mike Nichols and David Fincher. Foggy indeed!

We’re back with Anthony Giacchino, who produced the behind-the-scenes documentaries for “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” This week we get into his relationship with "Ghost Protocol" director Brad Bird, his Oscar-winning documentary short “Colette,” and what his relationship is with the other movies in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. Also find out who has more energy: Brad Bird or Tom Cruise! And yes, we get some much-needed hair rankings.

This week we are thrilled to be joined by Anthony Giacchino, who produced the behind-the-scenes documentaries for “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” (he’s also composer Michael’s brother). In this episode we talk about his approach to the documentary footage, interacting with Tom Cruise (and Cruise’s commitment to the film), and how far his access reached on set. Also, we get a delicious story about Cruise indulging in a forbidden snack!

As we continue celebrating the 10th anniversary of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” we have compiled our “making of” episodes in one handy compendium. Using reporting from the time of production, we chart the development, production, and release of the fourth film in the franchise. It’s the perfect complement to our ongoing anniversary programming.

As part of our celebration of the 10th anniversary of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” we have a special treat for you – our complete chat with director Brad Bird! This extra-long conversation was originally split into three parts in the fall of 2018, but here it is in one jumbo sized episode. Get the story of the making of the film from the man himself. Light that fuse!

We’re back with the second part of our wide-ranging conversation with “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” writers and co-producers Josh Applebaum and André Nemec. In this episode we get new details about Vanessa Redgrave’s would-be return and how much she would have appeared in the movie, the original MacGuffin of “The File,” an abandoned Benji mask gag, and the subtle evolution of Tom Cruise’s character. Also, we get their hair and movie rankings!

This week we reach the centerpiece of our ongoing “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” celebration, as we chat with screenwriters and co-producers Josh Applebaum and André Nemec. In this episode we talk about the genesis for the project, discuss how Tom Cruise astutely nixed the Harrison Ford casting, and confirm that the record store opening of “Rogue Nation” was actually conceived for “Ghost Protocol.” And, of course, we get new details about the abandoned snowmobile sequence.
