WE BOUGHT A MIC episodes

  • Mission: Impossible 2 (with Adam Sirdoreus)

    We air kick into the year 2000 with flames, doves, leather, and exploding sunglasses to discuss John Woo’s action sequel MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2, featuring Ethan Hunt's biggest fan, Adam Sirdoreus.


    Is this really the worst movie in the series? Was that really Tom Cruise rock climbing? Are there too many mask gags? We get into all of it and more as we reach the final stretch of our Tom v Tom series.

    • Eyes Wide Shut (with Javi Navarro)

      Our old pal Javi Navarro invites us to a very exclusive and secret club to discuss the final film by legendary director Stanley Kubrick: EYES WIDE SHUT, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

      We put on our masks and cloaks to dive deep into the dreamlike world of this enigmatic story of a married couple struggling to communicate their desires.

      Released in the summer of 1999, just a few months after Kubrick's death, the film remains a source of mystery, intrigue, and conspiracy, with countless interpretations and shadowy theories surrounding it until today.

        • Saving Private Ryan (with Dane DeBrunner)

          Is it hell on earth or is it military propaganda? We investigate and discuss one of the most monumental achievements of Steven Spielberg’s career, Saving Private Ryan, starring Tom Hanks.

          Set during World War II, the film follows a group of soldiers on a mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan and bring him home safely after his three brothers have been killed in action.
          Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Director, the film was the highest-grossing movie of 1998. It is cemented as one of the most harrowing and influential depictions of war, particularly for its legendary opening sequence showing the storming of Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-Day 1944.
