Dave and his daughter Mary have revived the Fansplainers banner for a new mini-series – they’re going to go through all the Mission: Impossible films in anticipation of the release of Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning on May 23.

This week they talk about Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol – maybe the perfect Mission Impossible film? Animator Brad Bird makes his live action debut and almost tops The Incredibles! Simon Pegg joins full-time, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner make up the rest of the team, and Tom Wilkinson gets shot in the head.

Thanks for listening!
