Besides popcorn, because Tom Cruise loves himself a big old bucket of popcorn. What are your favorite movie theater treats? So, dude, it's a great question, And honestly, these days I used to diversify the profile much more way back when. Part of the reason I don't anymore is because when we go to these screenings, you know, a little bit early, I feel like a real moron if I get like two snacks and we're sitting there amongst
the high folks in the high castle there. So it's mainly just popcorn these days, if I do anything I go on my own, I might get like a slurpy, icy type of thing too, so that I think for sure, like in a mount rushmore of theater going treats. And then I also like, I'm not really a chocolate guy. I don't like melting chocolate in my hand, especially not during a movie, so I don't really go
any chocolate treats. I love Swedish fish, so something like Swedish fish, maybe a sour patch kid as well, sort of in the same vein, something squishy to chew on through the movie. Skills are also I'm favorite candy, and they kind of fit here too. But they can be noisy, you know, like a Mike and Ike. They can be during a quiet place. Yeah, that that kills it. Any any kind of thriller horror
movie where there's a lot of silence, you can't really do that. But I think a little off the chart here for the fourth one, so icy Swedish fish skittles. I like a nice pretzel. Not every theater has a soft pretzel, a nice, soft, warm pretzel. And if you can get a nacho cheese to dip it in on top of it, that's a delight, absolute delight. So this has nothing to do with that. But when I used to work at the snack shop at the skate rink, one
of my favorite treats was a hot dog with nacho cheese. Get me all the sodium. Just honestly, nacho cheese can go with so many things and it improves so many things. So first off, can I get a clarification on the rules that I have created? Does a burrito count? No, you're gonna buy it at the theater? Okay, So no burrito, no double burrito, No, no homemade snacks, no, no outside paraphernalia here. So I like popables. I like things like can pop into my mouth.
I love eminem peanuts. Goobers are essentially the exact same thing, except without the hard shell. I would take both of those. No, I love goobers, don't you dare be? I would take peanut Eminem's over them, but not by a ton. Don't say that they're worse. I think they're a tier below. I like twizzlers. If I'm gonna have a snack, that is, you know, me holding onto it. This is not gonna melt in my hands, and it's still breakable, it's still pieces.
I do like a twizzler, but sometimes you're fighting with it like it's a piece of beef jerky, you know, trying to rip that thing off. I guess you make a great point with the chocolate, And what I would say with the chocolate is you don't want something that you have to hold and that could melt in either your hand or your pocket. Indeed, yeah, true. And then icy is just an easy one. That's a classic one.
I don't often get it anymore, but when I was younger, always always well, you run into the possibility of a brain freeze too, which which would really, you know, hurt the movie the theater going experience, So you don't want that. And of course number one where you said you can't pick but movie theater popcorn is just yeah, it's I mean by that's that's another thing that is just other than movies. That's the only thing in the movie theater that might get you go to the theater is but I guess
maybe an icy two. But the movie theater popcorn. Three? Yeah, just three. King of Queen and Mill Street entertain Yeah, I'm Goo and dumb Man. We are the Mac and Goo program. We bring you friendship. Yeah, today we're bringing you a very action packed friendship because today we are disgusting the latest some may say the greatest according to Ronny T's it's the greatest YEP and actually not Metacritic. Uh. Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part one.
This is the seventh installment in the Mission Impossible franchise, and this is part one of two. There will be a Dead Reckoning Part two that'll be the eighth and I'm assuming that'll be sort of the end of this Ethan Hunt was going to be the end to cruise being in the Mission Impossible movies. And of course, you know the thing of the past was he'll pass it off to Jeremy Runner because that's what we do with action movies. That does
not seem to be the case anymore. But also while speaking about Indiana Jones, while speaking about Harrison Ford recently, Cruz said that I want to do these and tell him eighty or until it kills me. Yeah. That's gonna be an interesting thing, though, because clearly this movie builds towards a conclusion where maybe Ethan Hunt dies, maybe maybe he doesn't, but they're building towards
something like that, some sort of sacrificial type situation. So I don't know what they're gonna do after Dead Reckoning Part two that's gonna get people to go back, But I digresso the mission impossible. Dead Reckoning Part one came out July twelfth, a day ago, two days ago. This was a Wednesday release. We missed the boat here. We should have released this episode on Goose Day. We weren't paying attention. Yeah, we didn't know this was
a Wednesday release. We assumed it was a Friday. So I thought. The reason why I didn't do any research for this, my assumption is is because Nolan's Oppenheimer has the IMAX theaters for three weeks exclusively. Cruise put this out two days early to get the Imax theaters for a couple more days. Yeah, and we've also we also watched this movie like two weeks ago, so time wasn't of the essence for us, so that we kind of that
kind of slipped through the cracks there. This is a PG thirteen action adventure and thriller with a runtime of one hundred and sixty three minutes. That's two hours and forty three minutes. This movie is long now, anything over two and a half, anything that approaches two and a half is long. When you get closer to three, it's very long. And I actually feel like this movie is too long. So I will say this is that it was
very very fun. Don't get me wrong, a super fun movie. But there were parts where I was saying to myself, let's get this going again, let's please move on. This is really starting to drag. But whenever I would say that, they would give me an amazing action scene right after. Agree with you. This is just that classic movie that if they chopped fifteen to twenty minutes off of I think it would have been because really substantially
better. But definitively. It's anytime they let the story breathe, that's when it got boring because the story not great. Yeah, I agree there, but I also felt like there was a couple of action sequences that went on too long as well, or like, yes, but they were great though, and they were shot perfectly, and Cruz was in there for as long
as he possibly could. Yeah, that's true. Although I will say this is that and this is not really spoilery or whatever, but the um, the big motorcycle jump that's the one that's been teased for this movie might be the worst of the movie. It's no, that doesn't stay out. No, it's it's like third or fourth in the pecking order. I think to
me, there's like five standouts that might be third or fourth. Go on Rotten Tomatoes currently ninety six percent from the critics that's actually second highest, and ninety four percent from the audience. That is the highest of the mission. Because it's hard to dislike this movie. That is very true as well. Yep on Metacritic in eighty one, which is fantastic, that is also second highest. And to give you some context here, I actually have misspoke over
the last couple of weeks. I thought Christopher mcquarie was the writer on Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. He was not this that's the Brad Bird directed one. I thought he was also associated with that movie, maybe as a producer or something. I misspoke. So mcquarie has only been involved in the last three. But we'll still talk about these last four. Ghost Protocol twenty eleven,
Rogue Nation twenty fifteen, Fallout twenty eighteen. These four movies all have they're obviously direct sequels, but they have more in common with each other, similar stories, similar characters, than they do with the first three. This is when they decided to make it a franchise, a continuous story. Yes. Yeah, And so of those four movies, I think this one might be
my least favorite. Now I could see that it's still in the same realm, right, It's not like a substantial drop off from those other three movies. I just feel like this movie just as a little worse than those three. Now. I feel like there might be people coming away based on the audience reaction to this movie thinking it's the best Mission Impossible movie. And I would like to hear their easy does fun factor play into it? Because fun
factor in this movie might be what does it? Yep, although some of it at least you and I laughed at the movie with the movie Tom Cruise running on top of the airport is just funny. Come on. But for some context, these last four Mission Impossible movies Ghost Protocol A seventy three on Metacritic, Rogue Nation of seventy five, Medical call Out in eighty six. So all four of these movies are beloved by critics and audiences. So it's really, you know, a half six and one hand half dozen in the
other. If any of these four are your favorite, I think that's you could argue that Mission Impossible right now might be the best franchise going. The argument might be against it if you add those first three movies in. If you're looking at just these four, you might take it over at John Wick. If it's just if it's four v four, this might be over Wick. If it's seven v four, I go Wick over this. Yeah.
And to remind you guys of the all seven, the first one, I believe came out in ninety six, and it was a pretty groundbreaking action movie, pretty unique action movie, further spy espionage action that had that dropping scene. Of course, which is iconic. And then two came out in two thousand, which starred Tandy Newton as sort of the love interest. And what
happened between ninety six and two thousand was the popular larity. I mean it was going anyways, but the Pierce Brosnen Bond movies I feel like had a huge effect on Mission Impossible too, so that like they almost basically tried to make him James Bond and it just really did. Yeah, that movie's not bad, it's just not the same or up to snuff with the rest of and the other Billy d give me a Tony Hopps photoshop. So Anthony Hopkins riding a skateboard, Yes, there you go. We'll post that if you
do make that. And then three was with Philip Steymour Hoffman, which I think was two thousand and five two thousand and six, which is pretty good. As always, he was a great villain, and that really, you know, it gave you a ton of you know, twists and turns, so that really got us back into it. I really liked that movie just
a little less than these four. And then of course Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation was the Jeremy Renner error where they tried to basically move Tom Cruise out, but they're like, wait, people love him and this and you get fall out with Henry Cavill and now this. So I would say all seven movies are good. Even Mission Impossible too, I think is a good movie. It's just not it's more Bond than anything. He starts talking British.
This movie is written by chrispher mcquarie who's also the director. Other credits here Eric Jendersen, whose only other real notable thing you would know his Band of Brothers to television show. And then Bruce Geller, who gets a credit for all of these movies because he's the one he created the TV series. So it's the movie brother of Ross and Monica created by and good. Christopher mcquarie has had a very interesting writing career here. He wrote The Usual Suspects,
fucking great movie. And there's a common thing amongst these movies, as you'll see, it's like sort of espionage thriller international type stuff. The Way of the Gun Valkyrie was was his first team up with Tom Cruise. He wrote The Tourist, which was an Angelina Jolie sort of thriller type of thing. Jack Reacher he did that Tom Cruise movie, Edge of Tomorrow. He did that Tom Cruise. He also did goo another Tom Cruise movie, The Mummy.
Let's say this that was a swing in him swinging a miss that was supposed to start the Dark Universe in it unfortunately ended before it started. And then of course he did last year's Top Gun Maverick. So him and tommy Ce have been working together for fifteen years now, clearly fans of each other,
friends with each other. And then of course this is directed by mcquarie who his other four directing credits are The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher, Rogue Nation and Fallout, and the only thing he's got upcoming on the slate is Dead Reckoning Part two. Life his success has mostly been Tom Cruise, but also I would say that Tom Cruise his recent success, his resurgence, the Tom Cruisanassans has a lot to do with macquarie. You're absolutely right
about that. It's it's a it's a they have found a formula. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, that's for sure. Gow synopsis of this movie. Ethan Hunt and his IMF team must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. Yeah. I would say my favorite part of the story is when they introduced his brother Mike and they just kept saying his full name. It was really weird. You can just say my first name.
Mister Hunt is also fine, Yode. This movie stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt for the seventh time, Hayley atwell as a newcomer named Grace, who is fucking fantastic. Yeah. So we talked earlier about like, hey, can you move Cruise out of there and replace him with someone? I think that she would be great. This character would be great. I don't know how well it does at the box office though, Oh if it's if it's led by her, yes, yeah, I see, I see that because
I really did like her in this She was so good. Yeah. Returners Van Raimes as Luther Stickle, who's been in all seven the first one or not. Simon Peg is Benji Dunn, who I think came in in three. I want to say he has this character on Locke yep. Rebecca Ferguson as Elsa Faust, her third uh at least her third Mister Possible movie. But Essa Kirby as the White Widow who was introduced in Fallout, who is going to be our new suit storm, so I'm looking forward to that.
And then Assai Morales is Gabriel, who they sort of backdoor into the whole Tom Cruise ethan Hunt's story here. And then Palm Clementeeth as Paris, who's a villain, yes, but she's also like badassah because I would say that her character is the biggest mixed bag in the movie, where like, yeah, there's points where you like her, then you think that she's cartoonish, but then she wins you over by the end. Yeah, I'd agree.
I think that's an accurate assessment. We've also got Henry Zernie as Rich Kittridge. He's the head of the IMF. You have Shay Wigham as Briggs and Greg Tarzan Davis, which is an all time great name is dagas they're the two IMF agents chasing Hunt the whole time. You have Frederick Schmidt as Zola that's Kirby's right hand man there, and then Carrie Elwez plays the President den Linger. Uh, he's fine, He's always okay, do to me.
This movie is oddly like the most serious mission impossible movie we've gotten, but also kind of the funniest as well. It's it's a weird it's weird fact though that it's kind of corny, right, it's corny, but they also went out of their way for a couple of jokes, which they do in the past, but I don't it's a weird mix. The script is weird, yeah, because written weird. So I describe a lot of movies as cheesy. I wouldn't even call this one cheesy. I look at it as
being more corny. It's a little and that's what I'm saying, like we're laughing with it at times, but we also laughed at but also they know what they're doing though. They know when to be corny, yes, and but sometimes they take it too far as well. Once again, Tom Cruise running on top of an airport, a couple of eye rolls and hair a few I rolls in this movie. And then the plot of this movie Goo
is also sort of an I roll. It's it. It would be the plot of a movie that came out when the first one really generic, right, and they almost take it back to the original mission impossible here, like this is a very very genetic you're dealing with an AI first off, one that you can see. I hate the fact that you can see the AI, like, just have it be in the fucking internet, like, we don't know where it is. And then also they're dealing with a key.
We have to find this key. The key is the mcguffin. This is Transformers once again. Well the immediate comparison or love Child though made when this movie finished. As I said, this is essentially a Lord of the Rings movie meets Skynet. That's what it feels like. Elements of both, but it's worse than both of those things. What if we found it at the end that Tom Cruise, you know, gets the key or gets whatever it is, and he goes to put it with another key and it turns out
that Optimus Prime has it. And by the way, we're spoiler free here, but there's really not much to spoil in this movie. Oh and by the way, by the way, the key is called the Entity, which
that pissed me off the entire movie. That sounded like something first stuff, that's jargon that's been used for so long, and it's something that I feel like they wrote in the script and said that's a placeholder, we'll fix that up later, and they just never did again, that's sort of to my point, it would have made more sense of this movie with that type of
plot and plot device came out in ninety six. Because the plot of this movie, to what we're speaking about, is that there's a global AI system that has become self aware. So we've seen this in numerous movies, and it has begun systematically picking apart the world's like strongest countries and whatnot. It's hacking satellites all this ship submarines, yeah, getting into the nation's highest of
security type things. And the only way that they can shut this down, they assume, is to find it's like original hardware where it was originally put online, and that happens to be in a sunken Russian submarine. And in order to access that hardware you need a key. But the key has two parts to it. Yes, you're like that whole thing. The whole plot is sort of an eye roll. Really it's not great, but you say that the weak plot, and they pull it off. They do because of
the fun and the action. Yeah, they pull it off to a good enough degree. They don't crush it. It's not a forty dog movie. No, no, no, they make it work. Oh, by the way, so you're speaking about AI. This has nothing to do with the movie. But did you see that zookeepers are telling people that are attending the zoo not to show the monkeys YouTube videos because the monkeys are becoming self aware that there's things outside of the zoo. Oh, we don't need listen.
Primates are very smart animals. The last thing we need is monkeys becoming self aware, because I feel like monkeys really could escape if they wanted. Yea right. I feel like if they if they put their minds to it, they could. The last thing we need them to do is to team up with like Orcas and do a land and sea assault and we figured out how we die. That's I think that's the ticket. If those two team up, we are fucked, absolutely fucked. The Orcas have already become aware of
what SeaWorld is and what we've done to them. Yeah, we don't need that. The last thing. Yeah, we don't need monkeys breaking in the SeaWorld and breaking out the Orcas. That that'll be the end of us. We'll be absolutely fuck then, ud you want to get into the Gauntlet. Yes, the Gauntlet, the big old fun stuff that we do for movies. Hey, Mac, how about the fun factor? And like I already
said earlier, this movie is maybe the funnest of the franchise. Yeah, I think it of the seven movies, this is probably the most fun had. But with a caveat that, yeah, some of it is corny as fuck. Satisfactor, How satisfying is this movie? And of course you know, with it being part one, it does a good enough job of getting us to that second movie. But like we've said, with the plot, you know, you need to have this much fun in the second movie to
pull off the sequel because the plot is not great. Yeah, and to my points at the top here, obviously there are some satisfying things in this movie. There's always satisfying things in every action movie, but the bar set by the three prior movies, I don't know if this movie quite hit there. So in that respect, a little dissatisfying, but overall not a dissatisfying
experience. Borometer, How boring was this movie? And like I said earlier, you know, as they deal with stuff that has to do with looking for the key or getting the key or not. Even when they plan stuff focus I like them planning out their missions that's fun. But as you look at the storyline and you know, just the beats between the action kind of
boring. I got bored. There are times where there was just a little bit too much in both respects, a little too much or too far in the action sequences or a little bit too much of the well in between, and in both instances I felt bored. Equator Is this better than twenty seventeen's Aquaman? So clearly above, But now I have an interesting equator for the Mission Impossible franchise. I think this might be smack dab in the middle.
I think this might be the fourth best movie, and therefore ipso facto do it becomes the equator of the Mission Impossible franchise, the imposse equator. Even the Mission Impossible three is good, So maybe that's the equator Halloween. Will this movie wane over a time? Yeah? Sure will. Yeah, it's almost destined to wayne right. It's a part one of a part two series. Yea. And like the fact that it's two hundred or what two hours
and forty three minutes, Like that's just too long. Any movie that long is gonna wan because like, what if you want to compare it to you know his recent success of Top Gun two. That movie has not waned at all. If not, I have more respect for it. So like, I don't think it's going to have that effect on me. That movie is much more crisp than this one. Yeah, for sure, Pants, Tan City, Excite, Mike Mania. What got you going? And I'll tell
you this right now. The third act action scene was dope. There again, we'll get to this, I guess in spoilers, but there are four or five action sequences in here that are fucking awesome. But the true pant step for me, I think is the sequence with Cruise and Atwell in the train cars and that whole thing. I thought that was fucking incredible. Yeah, I thought it was really really cool because leading up to it, it's something we've seen a million times before. But I thought the way that they
got out of that was something incredibly new and incredibly awesome. Yeah, because leading up to that, I was saying to myself, this is really where I want to get off. I've had enough, you know, let's go ahead and just bookmark this and we'll just jump into it for part two. But then they said let's get off the top of the train, which I just don't like. I think that's stupid. Now, yeah, I agree, And it said let's run through these train cars and that's awesome, that's
great. It was really cool. Yeah, it's great. It was fun. Max credit Union, Who are you giving credit to? So I said it. When we're introducing the cast here, Haley Atwell legit goes toe to toe with Tom Cruise in this movie. She's every bit as good as he is, if not better, and um like as good as Rebecca Ferguson has been in these movies. I don't know if I truly believe her as sort of a lead in one of these missions, but Haley Atwell pulls that off,
pulls it off better than Becky fergus has. At least I thought I would also go with her. She was great. And then you know Cruz is just like he's the he's the continent. He's constantly yes, always hot dogs, hot dogs, hot dogs hot What was remember? Was it like the the music a rama? Remember when they would have all the like the high school, middle school and elementary school bands go to the high school and play music forever everybody? What was that the bandarrama? I think it was
the bandarrama and I didn't. Yes, so every year one class would always play Mission Impossible. It's an incredibly satisfied Yeah, it's all right for those of you tardy to the Mac and Goop party. We rade everything on a forty hot dog rating system. Mac and I believe that this is a pretty great movie. Am I saying a film? No, but we don't really care about that. Yeah. Awesome action scenes, especially how they sprinkle them.
They spaced them out pretty well, like you start out pretty good, then at the end of the first act, second act, then they topped them each act, so credit there as well. Tom Cruise always good, but might be one of the weaker characters in this movie, because Carter and Furgy are great. Kirby's Dreamland also very good, one step below the other two. And then I would say that Palm won me over by the end. But you know, kind of cartoonish as we went a long, very
good bad guy. A little bit of his face is George Clooney, like not like, is he more handsome than George Clooney. No, he's not more handsome, but he isn't a handsome fella for sure. He's a different kind of handsome he's not as classically handsome. No, he's a he's a he's a darker and more menacing bad guy look. But also I'm not a fan of the visible AI. There's no need to see like the lights and
stuff moving around, like, oh, it's watching you. We can just assume that it's watching us, much like in real life the AI is watching us right now. I think that was a little bit of a much as we saw a spider Man far from home to like a billion drones or like, all right, we get it. We don't need all these. Look, the story is very simple and also kind of dumb, even possibly. I'm not saying that it's stupid, but some parts do feel kind of lazy
right now. What is the difference between stupid and dumb? I don't know, Man, Am I stupid? Am I dumb? I think stupid is more constant. Dumb is more of an instant one type thing, Like I hate the entity thing. Just call it something else. Also, maybe find a different mcguffin. I don't know, it's up to you, but there are just whenever I started to get bored, they pulled me right back in.
So credit there and although corny on occasion, I really did think it was fun and they leaned into it, and I'm going thirty five hot dogs. Oh all right, yeah, strong score, and I totally understand that good. Like I said, there are multiple times in this movie where I was laughing at it and not with it, so that obviously has to take away from it. I just don't feel like that's true. But the prior three, which is also why I have this maybe a notchdown from those three.
They certainly go out of their way for some action here, and I also feel like sometimes that was a detriment to the movie. And in most cases in these movies, the action sequences are fucking ridiculous and insane. I
just feel like this one went a little too far at times. The real core of this franchise has been that action espionage balance, and although there's a ton of twists and turns and a ton of action, I did feel like they did a little too much in both right, A little bit was like beyond what they needed to do. I want as many twists as possible. I just feel like this movie almost indulged too much, right, And maybe for some people that that'll never be the case. It's not possible, but
for me, that's how I come away feeling. But what I did like those that they didn't yell a ton about people going rogue, like it's just assumed. Now, Yeah, the score in this movie, Goya is so intense and so constant that I also think that took away from the movie a little bit again, a little too much. That's what that's my common takeaway from the movie here. And because it's also very long, that's another doc
here. So it's just there's and these are little things. And again I'm weighing these up against three other fantastic movies, three of the best movies of the last fifteen years, I would say, anyway, So I gotta be a little critical here. That said, the chick characters were great, as you as you mentioned, great job, Hailey att Well, Clein Palm and teeth. All right, pomp Clem, palm and teeth is a great name. We did a Hailey Hatwell, Kanessa Verby, Vanessa Kirby was very good.
Zacky Bergason, but all right, let's let's move past. Yeah, and then uh mole man here the guy that plays Gabriel the villain, I already forget his name. I couldn't help but think of the whole time. But he was good, quiet, menacing villain. I enjoyed him and give again. As I mentioned in the tease a few days ago, this movie has probably my two, maybe even three favorite action sequences on the year,
so that's a big plus as well. It's a very well made movie on every single level, even though the story is lacking quite a bit compared to the last three. I just feel like it's it's a notch below. So for that reason, I've got this at thirty four. Hot dougs. I like that I think a little less than you, but I think I probably had an higher expectation than you as well, So maybe that's why it's either
the fourth or fifth best movie for me on the year. So again, still rating very well year, just ahead of it or no, definitively ahead of it. The three or four maybe above it here are across the Spider Verse, Air and Guardians Volume three. I also might have go this is a new addition. I just watched US the other day, Missing, which came out earlier this year. It's on Netflix right now. Great thriller,
Great thriller. I'm having a hard time valuing that movie up against this and then this movie is just ahead of the Flash and Quantum Media for me. So so it's obviously a very good movie. I would have the same three ahead between Guardians Air and Spider Verse, and I would also have Wick four ahead of this. Okay, yeah, so you have it as the fifth or sixth best movie, right, Yeah. But I would also say that it's closer to being a soft thirty five than a rock hard thirty five.
Okay, yeah, I was. I was writing that range too, and have been going back and forth between those two number scores. And really it was the train scene at the end that won me over. And shall we start spoiling spoilers? Um, there is a part where he jumps out of the train at the end and he's on like a parasailing squirrel thing or something. No, it's it's one of those like fast flying parashutes and you like zoomed down mountains basically, um. And all I could think of was him
kicking his feet and going, this is why I am make movie. I do remember you laughing at that for like more than you should have. You just were laughing like at that little Tom cruise kicking his feet. So goose, speaking of those five standout action scenes. My favorite went on the air,
as I mentioned, was this train scene. So at one point in this movie, close to the very end of it, there's a dumb fight on top of the train, which then ends up being inside of the train, and then they have this old timey train bridge explosion where the train's gonna fall off, and they do that and you're like, all right, whatever, but the execution yea and cruising atwell gets stuck at the bottom train and they have to parkour their way up through these train cars. It's fucking awesome.
It's exhilarating, it's so fun to watch. So that was I think the a one standout scene of the movie. And then you also had an awesome scene here where every character was in play, and this is when they flee that outdoor party in the middle of the city. All the characters get separated, you get a few fights, and it culminates in Ilsa fighting Gabriel on the bridge there, which was a great scene and ultimately culminates in Becky
Fergus dying. So I like that there were some stakes here. A character that Ethan Hunt knew in love died, a character that's been here for a few movies that I thought that was pretty cool. And then Goo You also had the great reintroduction to ilsa um, like fifteen minutes into the movie with that desert scene with the battle. That was pretty fucking cool. Obviously, the one that has been teased the whole time here is that motorbike mountain jump.
It's cool, that's fine. For eight months, it was good. The Fiat with the cross handed drive through that was amazing. So that one also that second or third best you Tom Cruise took six months to learn how to drift to shoot that scene. That's pretty cool that that card shapes and the visuals of the Fiat and the Hummer going through the city was fucking awesome. That was great too. Um let me um so for how good Tom Cruise is at running on film, like he's the best Everett running on film.
Yeah, I think he is that bad at throwing a punch on film. He's a little man, that's why. So he's a little man. I'm not a brawler. I'm not really a fighter myself. But he gets down low and he like it looks like he cocks his hand back right like, well you got you gotta get the power from the hip scoo from the lower half. The issue is because he's probably shorter than most, he's got to coil himself up right a viper. The issue is just it's always coming
up. Yeah. So, speaking of the running, there is one scene in this pretty good airport scene where they're on the run from being you know, they're being chased and they're trying to get Haley at well, they're trying to get the entity and um. At the end, she gets on a flight to Rome and we have like an over the shoulder shot of the guys looking for Ethan Hunt and we see Ethan Hunt running on the top of the airport, and then the exact next scene he is in Rome. My question
does he run to Rome? So in my mind I like to believe that he ran to Rome. Yeah, that's like no wasted effort either, the running scenes because they do it so much. Now that's a little bit of the other the scene that you were talking about where everyone's in play. There is a bit too much of cruise running in that scene too. There's a lot of running in that. But I did like the little alley fight scene between him and Clem, Him Clem and the other person. So that was
that. I listen, there's so many good action scenes in here that I don't I feel like this movie automatically everyone's gonna like but if it should have been better? Yeah, but the but the plot and the plot device of the entity is dumb. Yeah, it's just dumb. And this movie's really long. Like Tom Cruise ran so much in this movie that at one point Simon Peg said, Hey, are you at Haunted Mansion right now? Your
heart's going crazy? He's sixty one guys. Also, so I really did like Hayley atwell, there is one point so she is like she's a career con artist, she's a thief. And then when she joins up with the boys and the Bucket and they're doing kind of a heist a little bit, they're trying to get the entity. Um, she is very timid, she's afraid. I don't know, that seemed kind of out of character, but
maybe it's just something that she's never done before. Yeah, it's like higher stakes for her that she's never really but she's also dealt with things like that though life in death situation. I don't know if she has really until that instance. What do you think she's been working street corners flipping cards. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, but yeah, this is a great movie. That's I see. I hesitate calling it great. I think that's a different This is okay, here we go. This is a great theater movie.
I actually that's actually I think thirty five thirty six is right where you can call it great and I'm just a tick below it. That's all I'm gonna say. Great theater movie, though, I'm not even gonna say so. This is not something that I want to watch at home. But this is something that is absolutely worth your time in the theaters and it's a great, great time. Yeah. I mean again, it's got ninety four from the
audience, so obviously most people were liking this. I'd like to see what the bottom end of that is. I think the bottom ends only like thirty thirty two, So it's it's got to meet a lot of what people are looking for in a Mission Impossible movie. I just feel like I expected a little bit more, especially from the story. I would also love it if in the next one they start calling the entity something else and they're like, oh, we've always called it this. I hated it. I hated that
so much. Yeah, and they said the lot. They said it the lot is a dumb versus stupid. I don't know, it's definitely dumb. Yeah, MAXA could be anything. It could be a boat. And right now, let's tease what's coming up for Mac and Gue because it's the summertime and we've got some scheduling issues. Must I would share McK and I having this discussion from before the podcast, but I feel like we were both yelling
at each other saying the same thing. Yeah, we agreed on ninety eight percent of the same schedule, so essentially Good and I both have a vacation coming up that's unavoidable. It happens to be on the fucking weekend that's Barbie versus Oppenheimer, the weekend that we've been talking maybe the biggest movie weekend in twenty years. It's just really bad timing, and we've been absolutely fucked by the screeners here. You're we're seeing different movies on the same night. Yeah,
fucking so I am going to an influencer screening of Barbie. We're all wearing pink and white, but all going to drink Cosmos. I just don't understand because these movies have been hyped for so long, we should have screeners for these weeks in advance. Really, I honestly thought that we were going to watch the Barbie movie on the Barbie Cruise, and then my wife's like, that doesn't make any sense, and I said, oh, wait a
second, it doesn't so good. And I will be seeing Barbie and Oppenheimer separately Barbenheimer, which means we'll both have to see the other movie in what we talk of about it. However, we have vacations that upcoming weekend, so we don't have an exact date for when we'll be talking about those two depth. Yes, in depth, we'll seeze them next week, maybe five minutes on each movie next week. And in lieu of the those those full review releases, well for sure have a dump at the beginning next week.
We've already got a chock full dump ready to rock. That'll be it's filled with corn peanuts. And then probably a week after that, the next Monday or Tuesday, I'll either have a secret invasion prep for episode six. If there's a good cliffhanger on five, I'll talk with someone about that, or I'll have another dump ready to rock. So that's the play and then after that we will have the next three episodes no specific order. It'll be Barbie
Oppenheimer Secret Invasion yep. So they'll some heavy hitters to go. And for those of you that haven't been watching Secret Invasion, episode four just came out that I actually have to get to. This show has been good. I don't know if it's been very good, but it's been good enough where I've enjoyed each episode. The acting has been great. I don't know if the
payoffs gonna be worth it all. That's that remains to be seen, but it's at least after either it's doing this, it's it's making me google stuff, watch new rock star videos. So it's been interesting enough for me to at least do that. But it's gonna have to pay this off. I not in spectacular fashion, but I want there to be meaning going forward from the show, and I worry it'll be more of a one and done such. The show right now is the front runner for the Sleepy Joe Award for
me. I have fallen asleep twice while watching it. Wow, but also I haven't. I'm a sleepy boy. You are sleepy peep. Yeah, but also I have over the last couple of weeks not to get too much into my life. I have I have said goodbye to the gudio. I have given the bigger room to my son, and I have made the move into the smaller clawset like room that was his. So a lot of my free time has been that. You're gonna need to put on a TikTok montage
to Vitamin C's graduation of all the old pictures from Gudio past. Oh, can everyone please send me what we should call the new Gudio. I was thinking either Nudio Tudio or Gudio part Tudio is pretty good. I like Gudio two point zero. That's pretty good. When you moved there, it was established as the gudio before that was Studio one four one two. Studio one forty two was our first one, and then I'm sorry, Nicky Diamond's basement was our first one. That's true. Where you were in a closet,
so now you're just in a bigger closet. I'm in a bigger closet now. I was sitting on a footson that was not particularly clean. You were in a closet that was not particularly clean. And then our guests I don't even remember where the guests sat. They sat on the other part of the futon. And what's fun about it actually is and this is we're not painting a very good picture. This is a very very messy basis. Early days, Mac was on a futon that was facing a all over here who was
in a closet that had no eye contact with Mac none. I was just staring at another wall. And then Diamonds was so high that like four times you forgot to press record on our episodes. But having said that, in the eight hundred ish episodes that we've done since, I have forgot to hit record twice. So I'm not gonna percentage though, is the percentage is not as bad. But it has happened. It has happened also because you were so high. I'm always high though, That's why I'm always falling asleep.
You're you're like that girl Tall Bachman was saying about I always say to my wife, and you know, she's always like, stop saying this, But mom, like, hey, it's four to twenty somewhere. You're always saying that. Yeah, as we close this out, happy birthday to your son this week. Oh that's right, my son is turning three, three magical years, big big, big party and will share up. Mac got him quite the gift. I hope it's probably gonna be too big. Friend,

Don't ask for too many, or I'm not going to send you any. I have already sent out the first order of pens. For those of
you who have told me where you are. The person at the front desk when I was sending them out, I was like, I was slatting the pens in the bags, and then one person said, can I get a pen and a half? So while I was slatting the pens, I took a pen and I broke it in half and I put in the bag and they're like, what are you doing? Don't tell me the INC went in there broken though, No, So what I did. I snapped the plastic
on the outside. I gave them half the plastic and then I did give him the ink, the full inc. Okay, but they didn't get the top half, the clickie part. No, No, they got the clickie part. But the clickie part is pointless without the top half, because then you're just pushing it into nothing. We have different top halfs of a pen. Then the top half to me is the point. But yeah, the top half is the point. I gave him the bottom half with the logo
half click part. No, the bottom half is the clickie but it also has the logo. I think you misspoke, then that's I think you misheard. Yeah, that's definitely what it was, all right, Also tepublic dot com, so we explained our huge, very confusing schedule that's coming up for the next couple of weeks. Now everyone's writing it down.

Okay, so that is a commercial right now, and they're like, this is the sound of summer right. No, No, I was just gonna say you coined it. It is actually in that little Goodbye there. It is
you swirling your coffee around just now. Yeah, you have terrible ears. Oh you put it in the in the sounder. I didn't do it on purpose. I did it by accident. Uh yeah, usually the morning records. I have a coffee, but it's so warm these days that there's no ice left. Usually Macnus also says, no ice. I want my ice coffee warm. Sometimes I get it with half ice because they put too much. Well, all right, so I just wanted to, you know, before you guys left, tell you that fine
