Mission:Impossible III

from Great Bad Movies

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.If you’d like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail [email protected] to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
