In the mid 90s, the cinematic landscape was much different. Batman and the general comic book film was about to go on hiatus until 2005 after director Joel Schumacher drove its toyetic Batmobile up a building and over ice, and The Addams Family had their two films come and go. We needed a new action hero based off an already established commodity. Enter an at the time squeaky clean ever smiling Tom Cruise as Agent Ethan Hunt. The Mission Impossible film series, based on the 60s television show, started off as the first film franchise Cruise was associated with. But the films gradually turned into the go to when Cruise needed a hit or image makeover.
After five podcasts, and much anticipation from all the hosts on this podcast, the time has finally come. Mission Impossible Fallout is upon us, and despite the attempts to keep the Cruise Man down with a broken ankle and balks at salary, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has completed his follow up to Rogue Nation, and many critics came out of the first screenings saying the film is on the levels of The Dark Knight quality.
With that daring cross to bare, me, Matt, and Pete MC gather to decipher whether the bold statements being made by the 97% Rotten Tomatoes consensus can possibly be true. Special thanks to both my co-hosts for another hell of a series, and special consideration to Pete for making his case to be on this series, and completely bringing his A-game.In the words of Ah-nold, he will indeed be back.
Listen below, and be sure to stay tuned as we reveal what future Aftertaste Retros shall bring. Thanks for listening!
