Good evening, Mr/Ms. Listener. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch the high octane sequel to the espionage summer blockbuster four years in the making.
The year was 2000, and a highly anticipated sequel was released in the early days of summer that would take the pop culture and MTV’s Total Request Live by storm with not one, but two hit singles by the likes of Limp Bizkit and Metallica. After a sequel developed by director Oliver Stone went belly-up, Tom Cruise chose a Hong Kong action director to replace him. The result is a film with an identity crisis, and not just from all of the masks.
The film? MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II. The director? John Woo. The doves? Present. The sun glasses? Exploded. Join Nick and Scott for a trip to a time when Australia was Hollywood’s favorite location, and everything on screen smells like Mountain Dew and Taco Bell.
