Rated or Dated: Mission: Impossible (1996)
from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue
“Wake up, Claire, Jim’s dead! They’re all dead!” Is the subtle way Tom Cruise’s super-cool spy Ethan Hunt tells a woman her husband’s been killed a cipher for the rest of Brian De Palma’s slick and shiny 1996 thriller? How secure is that CIA vault? Where did you get that mask? Is it really that easy to get stabbed through a fence? Mick and Hannah answer these questions and many more, as the first film in the Mission: Impossible franchise gets Rated or Dated.
