After the success and apparent finality of 2018’s Mission Impossible Fallout, it would seem that Tom Cruise and company could have moved on to other ventures. But the ‘success’ part will almost always cause filmmakers to come up with another story and keep going. But returning writer/director didn’t just come up with a one movie story. He came up with a two parter. Two near three hour films made to finally say goodbye to one of the most successful franchises of all time.

Here, the podcasters review part one of that venture, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. Listen in as they talk about the ratio of success regarding movie finales that have a ‘part one’, as well as their anticipation of the release of the first Mission Impossible movie in five years. Was it worth the wait?

Also, be sure to check out Garrett’s tribute to Hulk Hogan posted earlier this week, as well as next week’s release of the final Mission Impossible review (for now?), Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.
