We’re starting a new series of research-heavy “making of” episodes with the first part of our look at the production of Brian De Palma’s “Mission: Impossible.” Choose to accept it for all the behind-the-scenes goodies that you’ve probably never heard (or if you have, most likely forgotten).

It’s the episode you’ve all been waiting for, when we start to discuss the short-lived 1980’s “Mission: Impossible” TV series! Hampered by a writer’s strike and the constraints of filming exclusively in Australia, this series is really … something. Throw another shrimp on the barbie and grab your Vegemite sandwich, this is an extra-special episode!

We continue our chat with the great video essayist Patrick (H) Williams, talking even more “Mission: Impossible.” We also get him to rank all of the movies, and his answers might surprise you! Actually, they’ll definitely surprise you!

This week we’re joined by video essayist Patrick (H) Willems, as we talk about all things “Mission: Impossible” and delve even deeper into the “M:I”-related obsessions, including his wonderful analysis of Ethan Hunt, The Man!
