This week Greg and Joe celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mission Impossible movie that saved the Mission Impossible universe from itself. The episode opens with a startlingly stressful countdown that threatens Joe with a potentially dangerous beer run. Much like the movie, this episode is basically a very well-financed Alias episode, and a massive love letter to everyone involved in Mission:Impossible III.

Joe watched it and forgot to take notes. Greg watched it twice this week. Let's just say David Hallgren has some explaining to do.

Along the way: The full behind-the-scenes history of how this movie almost wasn't this movie; why Variety's description of Tom Cruise may be the truest sentence ever written; and of course many reviews that briefly become contenders for the name of this podcast. (DING) 

Also: One of the very best silent helicopters in history, the drinking game that requires a volleyball-style rotation, and Greg's first-ever "small sip" ruling.

Joe's honest back of the box calls it exactly what it is. It's our movie through and through.
