Mission: Impossible III / Suntory Toki

1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,100
In 2006 director, JJ Abrams and
star, Tom Cruise gave the world,

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:09,500
a stunning return to the world's
greatest action franchise in

3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,600
2022, we take a return trip to
Japan to try one of its most

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,000
popular Whiskey's.
The film is Mission Impossible,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,400
3.
The whiskey is suntory Toki and

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,100
we'll review them.
Both, this is the film and

7
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:45,000
whiskey podcast.
Welcome to the filament whiskey

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,700
podcast.
Where each week, we review a

9
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,900
classic movie and a glass of
whiskey.

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,200
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G.
And this week we are looking at

11
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Mission Impossible 3, Brad.
When I saw this on your list I

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,600
was freaking pumped.
Because this was the first

13
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:04,900
mission impossible movie that
really got me into Mission

14
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:06,300
Impossible.
You know what I mean?

15
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,600
Like, the original came out in
96.

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Brian De Palma directed that
movie is a freegan banger, but I

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,300
hadn't seen it growing up.
I remember renting Mission

18
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,100
Impossible 2 which was a really
cool sequel in that, they went

19
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,000
out and hired John.
Woo, who was like, you know,

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,500
kind of blowing up at the time,
really?

21
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,400
Famous Hong Kong director, but
that movie Just is, is kind of a

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,800
failure all around, not, not a
good movie.

23
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,300
It's not good at all.
And then they took a number of

24
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:38,100
years off before they kind of re
kick-started the franchise with

25
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,800
Mission Impossible 3 and I was
15, 16 years old.

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,100
This was like I was Target
demographic for this movie and I

27
00:01:45,107 --> 00:01:48,900
went and saw it in the theater
and man I was just blown away

28
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,800
and I think that in the 15 16
years since this movie has come

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,800
out, a lot of what this movie
did has been kind of copied and

30
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,300
mimicked and I think that this
movie copied and me A lot of

31
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,100
other things, too.
But for the most part, you could

32
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:07,600
probably release this movie in
2022, and it would still play

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,800
almost perfectly where I think
the original 96:1 like it.

34
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,400
It has kind of some of those 90s
action movie relics.

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,400
It's still really fun and it
totally works.

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400
But I don't know if you could
get away with like the pacing

37
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:25,100
and the cinematography of the
90s, one, the way you could get

38
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,800
away with this one.
I don't know, man.

39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,000
Tom Cruise's haircut.
And the first one is like, Like

40
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:33,600
impeccable.
Most the most perfect 90s action

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,000
star haircut.
It's when you could really still

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,500
get away with rocking like legit
sideburns.

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,900
Yep.
Like he, you know, and they

44
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,400
weren't like mutton chops, but
there's something about The

45
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,900
Sideburns that like we've shown
our side burns down farther as

46
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,100
the years have gone on.
Bob, I am with you though.

47
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:53,900
On Mission Impossible 3.
I will say though, this is one

48
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:57,000
of the most traumatic
movie-going experiences I ever

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,300
had as a as a young person as a
teenager Traumatic traumatic.

50
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,700
Wow.
Okay, so there's a very specific

51
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:08,400
scene that I will never forget.
Do you remember when Ethan in

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,100
Mission Impossible?
3 is making the mixed drinks and

53
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:15,300
he's reading the lips of the the
party of his wife and they're

54
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:17,100
talking about the lake and he
tells him what lake it is.

55
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800
I sure do so.
So I'm watching the movie.

56
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,800
We're in theaters.
Me and my best friend, Mike, and

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400
his dad.
We go out to see the new Mission

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,100
Impossible, super pumped and the
camera Cuts back to Tom Tom

59
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:33,900
Cruise behind that little like
glass window thing, making the

60
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:41,200
drinks, and it stops, and the
lights come on and they straight

61
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,300
up in EMS.
Team comes down.

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Oh my God and rescue.
Somebody who's having a heart

63
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,800
attack in the front a sheeter.
Did they defibrillate them?

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,500
Because I just have to say, like
if they did what an immersive

65
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:58,000
Movie experience is it would
have been no, they did not

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,800
defibrillate, they put him on a
stretcher.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,300
Sure and took him out and the
manager of the movie theater,

68
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:07,500
came to the front and and
apologized told them that they

69
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,500
were praying for the person who
was just taken out by EMS and

70
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:13,300
they would resume the movie in
15 minutes.

71
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,100
If anybody wanted a free ticket
to another movie.

72
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,100
If they wanted to leave, they
could leave.

73
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,500
Wow.
So me and my best friend and his

74
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,400
dad looks at each other.
We're like, I don't know if I'm

75
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,300
in the mood for a movie anymore,
especially a movie where, like,

76
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,700
you know, stopping someone's
heart is such a huge.

77
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,500
It's like this in Casino Royale
would be like, the tea thing you

78
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:35,800
really want to avoid.
Yeah, well, and the thing is, we

79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,100
had no idea that point what was,
what was coming for us because

80
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:45,000
it was the most on ideal version
of foreshadowing that I've ever

81
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,400
seen in my life.
Yeah, man.

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Wow, what did you say?
That was one of the wildest?

83
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,900
Movie-going experience is in my
life.

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,600
So I mentioned Casino Royale and
I guess we were probably going

85
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,600
to bring it up at some point.
But this movie comes out the

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,600
same year as Casino Royale comes
out, and We're kind of

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,000
kick-starting the bond franchise
again from scratch and we're

88
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,700
kind of doing the same thing
here with Mission Impossible and

89
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,600
Brad.
You know, like I saw someone

90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,100
refer to the Mission Impossible
series as like the best action

91
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:15,900
series of all time the other day
and it was a Critic and so like

92
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:19,400
it wasn't just a flippant thing.
They said and I think movie for

93
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,200
movie even including the low
point, that is to, this might be

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,400
the most consistently, good
action franchise, and it's one

95
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,700
that keeps improving on itself
with each success.

96
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,400
Civ entry.
It just really interesting to me

97
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,800
to think about this movie and
Casino Royale coming out in the

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,500
same year because both of them
went the quote-unquote like

99
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:43,800
gritty route in a way that we
hadn't with Bond or with mission

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,000
impossible to this point.
There's a lot of overlap in

101
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600
terms of like the story lines
and I just found it really

102
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,900
interesting that there were two
movies that were so similar

103
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,400
released in theaters within a
few months of each other.

104
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:59,700
Yeah, it is amazing how like the
tides of Cinema can move?

105
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,300
Move in the same direction, 's
even with completely different

106
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,200
Crews, doing completely
different things.

107
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,500
And I think with Mission
Impossible 3, what you really

108
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:14,300
have is Tom Cruise in my mind,
taking more direct control of

109
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:18,800
the franchise and like, pushing
it in the directions that he is

110
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,900
interested in going in.
And the, the results in my

111
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,700
opinion is absolutely
spectacular.

112
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:28,600
Well, as we get into talking
about it, Brad we're going to

113
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,700

is our favorite segment of the

114

explains.

129
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,500
I think it's going to be a
pretty, pretty easy one.

130
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:22,900
Like this movie doesn't have a
ton of plot going on, you know

131
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:24,200
what I mean?
Like it's just a good

132
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400
old-fashioned.
Here's a Thing.

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Here's a MacGuffin.
Go find the MacGuffin movie did

134
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,300
this.
This movie has the greatest

135
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,100
like, expose of the MacGuffin of
any movie.

136
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,300
Yeah, it just straight up.
At the end of the movie is like,

137
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,500
hey, what's this thing we've
been chasing?

138
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Who knows?
Nobody cares.

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,700
He's basically like, hey, what's
what's the MacGuffin?

140
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:48,200
And the guys like it's a
MacGuffin.

141
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:51,200
The Ted Cruz is like that.
I see what you did there.

142
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,100
Laurence Fishburne and his
perfect voice.

143
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:57,300
You MacGuffin to me All right
man.

144
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:00,400
You have 60 seconds on the clock
to explain the plot of this

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,500
movie.
Can you do it?

146
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Ethan Hunt is getting married
but he's also a secret IMF

147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,600
trainer who sends people into
the field, one of his field

148
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800
agents gets captured.
So they go to rescue her and

149
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,500
Germany they fail, they go to
chase the guy who killed her and

150
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,300
Italy and they capture him, and
then he gets recaptured on this

151
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,800
epic Bridge fight.
And then, let's see what happens

152
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,800
after that bridge.
And then, They go to 0 and then

153
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,100
Ethan gets captured by the IMF
because he's a bad guy now, and

154
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,200
he escapes with the help of his
Handler and he goes to China,

155
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:36,700
and he gets the rabbit, the
rabbits MacGuffin.

156
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,700
And he gives it back to the bad
guy and the bad guy kills his

157
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:46,100
wife, but that it's not his wife
and and he runs a lot and he

158
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,300
shoots the bad guys.
Then he kills himself to stop

159
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,200
himself from dying, but it's
freaking epic.

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,100
It's the coolest thing in the
world.

161
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,800
That's, yeah, this movie owns,
dude.

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,600
This is Such a good movie.
And I went into this movie like

163
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,300
remembering, how much this movie
got me, excited for the series.

164
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,800
Moving forward.
This was like a formative action

165
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,000
movie for me, and Philip
Seymour, Hoffman's performance.

166
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,200
As you know, one of the main
villains.

167
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,800
I remember being completely
terrifying and how he had just

168
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800
come off of an Oscar win and he
was like I'm doing it baby.

169
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,700
I'm going to make my summer
action Blockbuster and and just

170
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,500
completely owning the screen in
a way that when I went to see

171
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,500
The Dark Knight Years later I
uh, I kind of pointed back to

172
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,800
Casino Royale and to this movie
as, you know, yes, the Joker was

173
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,700
something we had never really
seen done before.

174
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600
And that tone of movie, for a
superhero was something we'd

175
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,100
never seen done.
But I have to give JJ Abrams a

176
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:45,800
ton of credit in that, you know,
the the Shanghai sequence in

177
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,500
this movie is, you know, almost
copied in the dark night in that

178
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:54,600
Hong Kong seen wins.
And how the villain here felt so

179
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,300
much more threatening than Most
screen villains I'd ever seen.

180
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,700
And, you know, so when you get
to the Joker it's like all

181
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,500
right, I got a throwback and
give Philip Seymour Hoffman,

182
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,700
some credit and JJ Abrams for
allowing that performance to

183
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:10,800
kind of take over.
Yeah, the way Hoffman takes this

184
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,300
character and runs with it.
It really does have that essence

185
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:17,200
of like, I don't even know who
you are.

186
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,800
Don't even really care who you
are.

187
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
I'm just going to destroy you
because you are in my way, and

188
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,100
that's kinda it kind of feels
like a Baseline.

189
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,500
Foundation for with Heath Ledger
could build upon the Joker.

190
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,100
I think that the the scene that
really got me with with Philip

191
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:37,800
Seymour Hoffman because he
doesn't really feature

192
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,300
prominently in the film until
about like 40 or 50 minutes in,

193
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:46,300
like halfway through the movie,
it's after Tom Cruise has taken

194
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,400
him in this airplane and he
shoves him.

195
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,700
And he the dude like hanging out
of the airplane and Tom's about

196
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:55,600
to kill him, and his team
members are shouting at him like

197
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,900
Ethan, what?
Are you doing any?

198
00:10:57,900 --> 00:11:01,300
They pull him back up into the
plane and he looks at Tom Cruise

199
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:06,600
and he says Ethan and the way he
says it, you can tell that he is

200
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,700
nonplussed.
He's not bothered by what just

201
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:13,900
happened, and he now knows who
just tortured him and he's gonna

202
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:17,700
make him pay, and it's just the
way he says that in such a cold

203
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,300
cold way.
Just, oh, kiss me the chills

204
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:21,900
man.
Well, since we're already diving

205
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,700
into performances, let's kind of
finish out our conversation on

206
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,800
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Before we To the rest of the

207
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,200
cast.
I have to say if there's a

208
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,000
nitpick I have with this movie,
it is that it kind of does the,

209
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,800
The Dark Knight Rises thing
where the main villain isn't

210
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
really the main villain.
And you find that out, like

211
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,900
towards the end of the movie.
And I hate when they do that, I

212
00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:44,500
hate the fake outs because you
build up one villain.

213
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,200
And it's like, oh, this is an
imposing person and then it's

214
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,400
like, no, that's just Darth
Vader.

215
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Here's the emperor, you know?
And it's like, oh, I gotta get

216
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,300
concerned about another villain
now and it didn't totally, Ali.

217
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:57,700
Why life is so difficult.
I know.

218
00:11:57,708 --> 00:12:00,600
I mean like it just didn't
totally work for me, but in

219
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,600
addition to that, I was really
shocked at how little Philip

220
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,900
Seymour.
Hoffman is actually in the

221
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,400
movie, like I remembered him
being a much more dominating

222
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,800
presence and he definitely does
like, when he's there, but he's

223
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,600
only really in like, I want four
scenes of the movie, I'm

224
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,600
curious.
What do you mean by?

225
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Like the bait and switch with
the villains.

226
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,700
So, like at the end of the
movie, you know, again this this

227
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:26,600
podcast gets into spoilers.
So if you haven't, Seen Mission

228
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Impossible, 3.
Go watch it, it's a fun ride and

229
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,300
then come back and listen to me,
reveal that the real villain is

230
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:34,700
Billy crudup.
Scare actor.

231
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,300
Who is Ethan, hunts boss at the
IMF and that he has been

232
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,800
coordinating.
This thing the whole time.

233
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,900
There's a huge reveal at the end
of the movie and you find out

234
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:47,000
that he's basically just using
Philip Seymour Hoffman.

235
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800
And his underworld cronies like
a puppet.

236
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:54,200
It's kind of like the Vader vs.
The emperor thing where yes, I

237
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,500
guess the emperor is more
powerful but we're more

238
00:12:56,500 --> 00:13:00,000
concerned with the battle
between Vader and Luke.

239
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:02,300
And in this movie, it's like, oh
okay.

240
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:05,100
So like am I supposed to care
about the whole Billy crudup

241
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,300
like subplot or because I'm over
here with Philip Seymour Hoffman

242
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,200
and I want to see him get his
comeuppance.

243
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:14,700
And so it kind of pulled me into
directions where I couldn't

244
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:17,900
really tell like, who's the
baddest bad guy who's the final

245
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:21,800
boss, here is the final boss.
See, I didn't take it that way

246
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,500
at all, to me.
It felt like Billy crudup was

247
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:29,900
more of just Gay and IMF agent
who was disenchanted with the

248
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,000
system and like, was kind of,
like, I'm still going to get the

249
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,100
bad guys, but I'm going to use
the bad guys to help get the bad

250
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:37,700
guy.
Yeah.

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,900
And so I didn't really take him
as like, the final boss, like

252
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,700
Philip Seymour, Hoffman is the
one who gets the cool death

253
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:48,800
like, like Billy crudup.
Just gets shot like a dog.

254
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,200
Bye-bye, Michelle Monaghan
Michelle Monaghan.

255
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,300
I was about to say, Julie amount
of hand, which is her her

256
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:56,700
character.
Cheers baby.

257
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,200
Julia.
Yeah, Michelle.

258
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,500
Monaghan shoots him at the end
and it's not even like really

259
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,100
epic or interesting.
It's pretty anticlimactic from

260
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,000
him, would, you know, kind of
fits his character.

261
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:12,300
So I guess I didn't really have
any issues with like, who's the

262
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:13,400
bad guy?
Like Philip Seymour?

263
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,700
Hoffman, is the bad guy in this
move?

264
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,300
Sure.
Did you think that we could have

265
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:19,900
used more of him?
Because that was my second

266
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:21,700
Point.
Like the, he just wasn't enough

267
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:24,700
for me.
Hmm, I don't know, man.

268
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:28,500
I think that it's one of those.
Cases of like there's just

269
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:34,400
enough of him to.
He is very potent in this movie.

270
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,500
You only need a few drops of him
and he infiltrates the entire

271
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:39,200
film.
Yeah.

272
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,200
So I don't know, I think I'm
okay with the amount of Philip

273
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,300
Seymour Hoffman.
Well then let's let's kind of

274
00:14:43,308 --> 00:14:46,000
transition to I want to finish
talking about Billy crudup now

275
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,500
to and I'm pretty sure that's
how he pronounces his last name.

276
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:50,100
I've heard crude oil.
I've heard credit, but I think

277
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:51,900
it's crudup.
We haven't talked about him

278
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:54,400
since Almost Famous.
I was really happy to see him

279
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,000
here.
I just, I really like him.

280
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:59,200
He's a good actor and he does a
lot of Theater.

281
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,100
Now I just kind of wish that the
man had gotten the career he

282
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:06,400
deserved in film because he's
just so good.

283
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:10,100
And he came on to realize like
that he's made millions of

284
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,400
dollars being a supporting
character.

285
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,900
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.

286
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:16,400
But like, you know, and he
probably just doesn't want to

287
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,500
do, like, huge franchises.
I'm sure he's been offered

288
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,700
stuff.
He was dr.

289
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,600
Manhattan, in the Watchmen
movie, so like he's been in

290
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,500
superhero stuff, but I, yeah, I
just wish that we Talked about

291
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,100
him in the same breath as some
of like the big, big actors in

292
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:32,500
Hollywood because he definitely
has the talent for it like that.

293
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,100
He almost brought out the 20s
gangster in you.

294
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,800
Like you literally just said
yeah man, come and get me Kappa.

295
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,800
Alright, so Billy crudup in this
movie he comes on screen and I'm

296
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,500
like yes crudup here and then
I'm like, why isn't he in more

297
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,800
of these deemed?
Does he get killed by?

298
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,300
Someone, like what happens?
And then I'm like halfway

299
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,000
through the movie and I'm like,
man, it's so good.

300
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:58,100
Good.
That they're not leaning into

301
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,500
the fact that he can play kind
of a dick really well.

302
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,100
And I'm like, yeah, I love it
when they just like, leave him

303
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:05,400
as a nice guy and then the
ending happened and I was like,

304
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,300
come on, you can't hang a man
play against type.

305
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:13,500
So yeah, good performance.
Ultimately, I'm bummed about

306
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:14,500
where they went with his
character.

307
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,200
I would have liked to have seen
him in at least one more Mission

308
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,500
Impossible movie, I thought he
was really good, I thought he

309
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:22,500
was fine.
I think that like you get

310
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:26,600
different handlers for, for
Ethan, and I think All six

311
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,600
movies, pretty much everything.
So Handler is like, I'm actually

312
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,900
a bad guy.
Yeah.

313
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:36,200
Hey man, there's a lot of play
with their own tropes.

314
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Sure.
I guess for me crudup didn't add

315
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,300
a lot to the movie like he like
he was fine.

316
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:49,300
I think that his best scene is
when he's talking to Ethan after

317
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:52,900
Ethan's been captured by the IMF
and he's like talking about how

318
00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:56,400
disappointed he is in him.
But all the while he's He's you

319
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800
know, mouthing to him like where
he needs to go and handing him a

320
00:16:59,808 --> 00:17:03,000
knife so that he can escape
like, I really enjoyed him in

321
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,400
that scene.
But I think if we're talking

322
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,500
about people from the IMF that
had really just great

323
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:12,500
performances, I would lean
towards Laurence Fishburne.

324
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:14,700
Yeah.
Because he's the person that you

325
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,200
think is the bad guy for most of
the movie and you don't really

326
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,700
find out that that's false until
the very end.

327
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,900
He's really good and they play
up that uncertainty really well.

328
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,599
Laurence Fishburne's, good and
everything.

329
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:28,600
Like I mean, it's just you get
him in your movie, it's like a

330
00:17:28,608 --> 00:17:31,300
home run.
He just has such an incredible

331
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:36,100
voice and I think it's the way
he carries himself that like,

332
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:41,100
he's one of those people that
can immediately fill a room with

333
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:44,200
like with his presence.
And so when he's, when he's

334
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,700
interrogating them at the end of
the Germany Mission and you

335
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,600
know, accusing them of
mishandling things and

336
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,800
authorizing operations that
shouldn't have been authorized.

337
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:59,500
Like you can feel the Conviction
and belief behind his, his words

338
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:03,000
and his actions.
And he just contains so much

339
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,500
Menace within his figure that I
just he's just phenomenal and it

340
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,400
almost makes his character even
better to find out at the end

341
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,600
that he really is a good guy.
Like like to know that he really

342
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,200
believed what he was saying at
the start of this, like he wants

343
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,700
things to be done, well, rather
than impulsively.

344
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,900
And so he while coming across as
the bad guy because of

345
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:30,600
Information.
He genuinely is a foil for Ethan

346
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Hunt and I think that's what I
like about.

347
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,300
His character is like Ethan
really is impetuous and crazy

348
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:41,200
and will do anything to win and
Laurence Fishburne is set up as

349
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000
an antagonist to that as this
controlled.

350
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,800
Calm.
Cool headed.

351
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,900
Like I'm going to win through
bureaucracy, Laurence Fishburne

352
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:52,800
is one of those actors that can
take dialogue.

353
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,600
That is like objectively, not
good and deliver It so well.

354
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,800
And so convincingly that you
come out of the scene saying,

355
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,800
like that was really clever
dialogue, like the scene where

356
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,000
he's interrogating them at the,
beginning of the movie, and he's

357
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,100
making all these like references
and just establishing himself as

358
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:12,900
like a no-nonsense guy, he makes
a passing comment about like the

359
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:16,600
Invisible Man, and then he like
looks at Ethan and he's like,

360
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,800
and by the way that's Wells not
Ellison.

361
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,100
In case you thought about being
smart of again and it's like

362
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,300
it's not a very good line and it
doesn't really give you that

363
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,200
much more.
Right into the character other

364
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,500
than I'm annoyed and he delivers
it so well that you're like, ah,

365
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,400
this guy.
He's really not messing around.

366
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:37,200
So like he had there certain
actors that just have a talent

367
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,400
for elevating dialogue to the
point where you like.

368
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:44,700
It casts a positive light on the
screenwriter, like it's just a

369
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:47,900
gift.
Well, yeah, I fish bird is just

370
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:50,400
amazing in this.
I think my goal at this point is

371
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,400
to talk about every person in
the movie.

372
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,100
Other than Tom?
Yes, that was actually kind of

373
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:57,200
gearing us towards that.
So let's do it, right?

374
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:59,700
I mean, I and then let's jump
over to Michelle Monaghan

375
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,200
because we just talked about her
a couple weeks ago with Gone

376
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,300
Baby Gone talked about how her
character was, kind of just the

377
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,000
supportive girlfriend and how we
wished.

378
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,300
She had a little more to do and
Brad.

379
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,900
We fired up this bad boy and
found out that she is the

380
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,900
supportive wife and doesn't have
that much to do.

381
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:18,300
Hey, man, she she hits his chest
a few times.

382
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,300
She sure doesn't magically start
this his heart.

383
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,400
There's also like this is one of
those movies where there were a

384
00:20:24,408 --> 00:20:28,800
couple moments in this movie.
Like Ethan gets has to drink

385
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,100
that potion, that knocks him
out, and he's dizzy.

386
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,400
There's just like a random
overlay of Michelle Monaghan

387
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,300
like stripping and like to
demonstrate, like I'm thinking

388
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:41,300
about my wife, but it's also
like this was completely

389
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:43,100
unnecessary.
You could have inserted just an

390
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:47,000
image of her face like I don't
need to see her bare body at

391
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,500
all.
So like man, you know, he's he

392
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,300
wants that honeymoon.
He's yeah, he's recalling fonder

393
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:55,900
time clearly.
But yeah.

394
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,500
Like I did feel kind of bad for
her.

395
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,800
That not only, does she not have
very much to do, but they were

396
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,000
also like, alright also.
Take your pants off.

397
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Yeah, yeah.
I'm with you dude.

398
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,400
I think that Michelle Monaghan,
I like her more in this than I

399
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,300
liked her in Gone Baby Gone.
I think that she actually shows

400
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:17,200
a little bit of tenacity and I
think that in her small moment

401
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,600
of Glory, when she kills Tom
Cruise and you know, he teaches

402
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,900
her how to use a gun really
quick like she like she, you see

403
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:30,500
Her in the midst of fear in the
midst of, like, I don't know

404
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:34,100
what to do, but you like, I
don't know, the way she controls

405
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:36,300
her face, like she controls her
breathing.

406
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:40,800
She thinks she uses the the
mirror, a lot Jurassic Park to

407
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,700
figure out where the bad guy is,
she knows how to reload the gun.

408
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,600
Like I just liked her in that
scene.

409
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,900
She showed some tenacity and and
bravado and I was like, okay,

410
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,400
come on Michelle.
Let's go look like you're

411
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,300
actually doing something here.
So I really liked her in that

412
00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:00,600
part.
I will also say, you know, the

413
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,500
people talk about the John
Wicks, movie being accurate and

414
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,600
you know, there's only so many
bullets in the gun.

415
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:08,500
He tells her that there's 15
Duelists.

416
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:12,900
Yep and she shoots 15 times and
after to reload I was like I

417
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:15,500
counted this time I was like all
right come on Tom Cruise.

418
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:20,300
Yes go.
Okay so let's talk about the

419
00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:23,500
minor IMF people.
So out in the field with him is

420
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:25,900
Ving Rhames as Luther.
Who is just fantastic?

421
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,200
Every single time and they're
still wheel in my guy out, he's

422
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,100
got to be like, almost 70 years
old by now.

423
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:34,000
But even in fall out there like,
hey, you may not be able to run

424
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,800
anymore, but you can defuse a
bomb and he's like, yes I can.

425
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:41,000
It's just an in this movie.
I feel like it is where you

426
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,900
really get the, the depth of the
relationship.

427
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:46,300
And this is where his I really
do.

428
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:48,700
See the series kind of take a
step in the right direction

429
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:53,000
because they make it a point to
flesh out Ethan's backs, not

430
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,800
backstory, but like life away
from the IMF.

431
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,300
If and when they share that
moment on the roof in Shanghai,

432
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:04,000
right before Tom Cruise, you
know, swings across, its really

433
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,800
heartfelt and touching and Tom
Cruise tells him like, thank you

434
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,600
for doing this for me, man.
You know, and I don't know,

435
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,800
like, I think when this moment
there, when this movie takes a

436
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,000
moment of respite, it always
uses it to its Advantage.

437
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,800
Always uses it to remind you
that these people are at least

438
00:23:19,808 --> 00:23:23,100
in theory, real human beings who
have real emotions.

439
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:26,000
And I think Ving Rhames does
such a good job.

440
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,500
Good job of building that
camaraderie with Tom Cruise that

441
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:31,100
has carried through to the other
movies.

442
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:33,600
I have two thoughts on Ving
Rhames in this movie.

443
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,900
First off, the fact that Ving
Rhames still comes across as

444
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:46,500
just such a badass after his
role in Pulp Fiction is a

445
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:50,500
testament.
To the just immensity of his

446
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:55,200
acting like like as all.
I'm going to say about that.

447
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,900
Secondly, that scene where he's
talking to Ethan about Carrie

448
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:05,600
Russell's character, Lindsey
Farris in the movie, and he just

449
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
flat out ask her like, hey, man,
like, was there something going

450
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,800
on there?
Like, were you guys sleeping

451
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,700
together?
And Tom Cruise goes, she was

452
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,600
like my little sister and then
he just flat out.

453
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Ask you to ask him were you
sleeping with your little

454
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,200
sister?
Yeah.

455
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,200
And and he did and you know
Ethan Hunt just looks at him and

456
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Ving Rhames goes, hey, man,
Everybody needs somebody to ask

457
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,100
them.
Those questions that moment I'm

458
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:33,200
going to philosophize about
humid, like the nature of

459
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,100
humanity.
That might be one of my favorite

460
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:42,200
lines in any movie ever like,
like I know it might sound dumb,

461
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:46,400
but in that moment, it just hit
me at the core of my being of,

462
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,800
like, yes, like everybody does
need to have someone who is

463
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,000
willing to ask you, the hard
questions, who's willing to go

464
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,200
into the places and say, hey,
man, Like I know that humans are

465
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:58,400
messed up.
We do dumb stuff.

466
00:24:58,408 --> 00:25:01,700
So I'm going to ask you, did you
do the dumb thing?

467
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:04,500
You shouldn't have done, and
that could be on very small

468
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,100
levels and it can be on very
deep levels.

469
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:10,800
And like, the fact that Ethan
has somebody like that in his

470
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:17,000
life, makes him in, like
inordinately better of a

471
00:25:17,008 --> 00:25:21,900
character than James Bond and I
think that it gives Ethan a

472
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:25,400
depth and in and just a
believability.

473
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,500
T that somebody cares about him
enough to be involved in his

474
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:32,500
life and ask him the hard
questions, like, Luther in my

475
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:36,700
opinion, makes the entire
Mission Impossible, franchise

476
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,700
believable, and interesting, and
better and better.

477
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:46,200
Yeah, so yeah, dude, I am 100%
in if there's anybody in the

478
00:25:46,208 --> 00:25:49,400
mission impossible franchise,
that's a 10 out of 10 outside of

479
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,800
Tom Cruise, it's Ving Rhames.
All right, very briefly, I think

480
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,900
this is the first time we see
Simon Pegg Show up as Benji in

481
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,800
the mission impossible films.
Very clear at this point that

482
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,800
they had not figured out his
character yet.

483
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:04,900
Like, yeah, he just doesn't
really seem to fit the movie

484
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:08,400
very well, not really his fault,
but they've definitely used him

485
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,400
to Greater effect in other
movies.

486
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:14,900
Well, I think, at this point
Simon was still a little bit on

487
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:18,000
the lower end of the movie star
totem pole.

488
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:21,100
If you will, you know, I like
I'm trying to think he had.

489
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,000
He done Shaun of the Dead and
Hot Fuzz at this point, or was

490
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,200
he kind of in the middle of all
those?

491
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,000
He had Done Shaun of the Dead, I
don't think.

492
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,200
Yeah.
Hot Fuzz didn't come out till

493
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,000
the year after this.
Okay.

494
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:32,200
Yeah.
So like he's still in the

495
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,700
process of being discovered.
And I will say, I think that the

496
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:39,100
mission impossible franchise is
one of the reason he is

497
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,400
discovered as like a really
solid actor, and I like him in

498
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,200
this the, the whole scene he has
talking about the anti.

499
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,800
God doesn't really fit with the
movie very well.

500
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,000
No.
But it should take a long time

501
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,100
to just like, let him tell that
story like the A movie Tom

502
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:59,500
Cruise is like I'm in a I'm in a
hurry and then Simon pegg's like

503
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:02,100
to tell you a story about this
professor I had and I mean it

504
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,800
goes on for like seven and a
half minutes and they're just

505
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,500
feels like him.
It feels like nor McDonald's

506
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:12,600
moth joke like it like he just
keeps going on and on and on and

507
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,400
at the end of it they're like
what the hell was that right?

508
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,600
Because, you know, it's just
something I think about what I

509
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,300
think of the end of the world.
Okay, the other two people that

510
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:26,200
are out in the field with him
are Maggie Q as Jen and Jonathan

511
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,900
Rhys Meyers as Declan, who are
both really good.

512
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:32,200
And then never get asked to
rejoin the franchise again.

513
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,700
Yeah.
And I was thinking like maybe

514
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:36,900
they get killed.
No, they just Tom Cruise is like

515
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,600
I'm sitting here.
Yeah, I was kind of surprised.

516
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,200
I really likes them both.
I was so disappointed.

517
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,300
This is like, probably one of my
favorite Mission Impossible

518
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:49,300
teams, you know, because they
change pretty much every movie.

519
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,500
Which once again, I'm like, okay
with that.

520
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:54,900
I like that, they switch it up,
but I really liked, Jonathan,

521
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:58,800
Rhys Meyers and Maggie Q like
the the roles that they were

522
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,200
asked to play.
Which is, you know, like, let's

523
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,800
just say if you had each actor
makeup, you know, certain

524
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,000
percentage of the importance of
this movie.

525
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,400
So, like Ethan Hunt is like 70%
importance and everybody else

526
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,500
has 30% to make up.
Jonathan, Rhys Meyers and Maggie

527
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:19,100
Q combined, make up about three
or four percent importance of

528
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:22,200
the movie.
She but they freaking rock it.

529
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,100
Mmm.
And I thought that they were

530
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:29,500
spectacular, the scene, when
Ethan, and Declan are arguing as

531
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,300
Italian delivery men like
Jonathan, Rhys Meyers is

532
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,600
spectacular.
He's Charming, he's funny, he's

533
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,400
believable.
I, I just, I really love them so

534
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
so much.
All right, finally, before we go

535
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
to break the most important
person in this whole movie

536
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,400
bread, Keri Russell.
So, Kerri Russell shows up for

537
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,900
did you like that?
She shows I say about it, 32

538
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:57,300
seconds in this movie and she's
like, just a big enough star

539
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,300
that you could probably be like,
hey, you know, people still

540
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:02,000
recognize you but you're not
doing much right now.

541
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,800
Do you want to come be in my
movie and be the fake-out death?

542
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,600
And she's like, sure, I got us a
really good.

543
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:11,600
Like I wish I had had more Keri
Russell in this franchise.

544
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,400
When they kill her, spoiler
alert like 10 minutes Into the

545
00:29:16,408 --> 00:29:19,300
movie.
When the when the explosive

546
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:23,300
inside her head goes off.
The face that they have my girl

547
00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:26,900
make with the, with the eyes go
in each direction is the funny

548
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:29,800
the most unintentionally funny
thing I've ever seen.

549
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:33,000
And like, when it first happens
and they cut away real fast.

550
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,900
It's like very gruesome.
But then there's probably like

551
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:37,300
six or seven shots where they
are.

552
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:39,100
Just like, you know what, we
need to see again.

553
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,000
We need to see Carrie Russell's
Dead face and they keep cutting

554
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,200
back.
And then they like, they cut to

555
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,300
a new scene and she's in a body
bag and they unzip it and they

556
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,100
just dwell on it again.
And it's like after you look at

557
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:53,100
it for a couple seconds, it's
This is hilarious.

558
00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:55,300
I don't know if I mean, it's
probably just me.

559
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:58,200
I just thought it was really
funny and and one of the big

560
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,700
glaring flaws with this movie
Bob.

561
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:03,000
I'm going to get, I'm going to
give you something here that you

562
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
need to know.
It's not funny at all.

563
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,800
It's not very gruesome and
grotesque, it's gruesome.

564
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,900
But it's also like it just looks
corny after a while.

565
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,400
You texted me that and I was
like, you texted me that like

566
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,600
five minutes before I got to
that part of the movie.

567
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:21,300
And I was like, really.
I was like, I don't know.

568
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,100
Remember it, I remember being
pretty like, terrifying, like

569
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:27,300
when it happens, like, abnormal
and strange and weird, and then

570
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:28,500
I got to and I was like, oh
yeah.

571
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:30,400
No, that's that's not funny at
all.

572
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,000
Bob is as a Dark Dark Soul.
Yeah, yep.

573
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,300
You know who they almost had to
play this role but it got messed

574
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:40,300
up.
Who's that?

575
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,600
My girl scarjo really that
Scarlett Johansson was was cast

576
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,200
in that role and then with
production delays and issues

577
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,600
that they had, they she had to
do Something else had to go work

578
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,900
on another project and they got
Keri Russell.

579
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:57,600
Interesting I had no idea.
Yeah.

580
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,800
Huh.
Well which is like interesting

581
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,600
because I feel like I don't
really know anything about Keri

582
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,200
Russell.
She was on a TV show.

583
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400
That was really really popular
for a long time and then you

584
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,200
know is one of those things
where like the TV show ended and

585
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,300
she she's done movies.
Like she's been consistently

586
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,500
working since then but it was it
was the peak of her career to do

587
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,000
that TV show.
Yeah.

588
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,100
Okay.
I think it was.

589
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:19,300
It Felicity?
Is that the show?

590
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:22,100
No.
I Literally.

591
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,800
Yeah, so the show Felicity, fun
fact, the show went downhill

592
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,800
because in like the, I don't
know, whatever the third or

593
00:31:27,808 --> 00:31:31,700
fourth season, they gave her
like a really dramatic haircut,

594
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:37,000
and it was like the anti Rachel
from Friends where, like, you

595
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,500
know, everyone wanted the
Rachel, they cut felicity's hair

596
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,100
and it like ended the show
legitimately like the ratings.

597
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:45,900
Went down so much that they just
were like, we're done after this

598
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:47,200
season because they cut her
hair.

599
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:50,800
I feel like that would be like
an episode of community.

600
00:31:51,900 --> 00:31:56,100
Like they just completely like
change and he's hair and it

601
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,500
causes the entire school to fall
apart something.

602
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,800
All right man, we're going to
press pause here.

603
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,100
We're going to come back and
talk about the two men at the

604
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,100
center of this movie, Tom Cruise
and JJ Abrams.

605
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:10,100
But before we get there, let's
try this suntory Toki.

606
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,300
What do you say?
Let's get to it.

607
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,700
Alright, today, we are checking
out, suntory Toki.

608
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800
This is probably the most
popular Japanese whisky from the

609
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,200
suntory line in America.
It's relatively inexpensive.

610
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,600
It's a blend of two single malts
that suntory makes called the

611
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,800
yamazaki and the Haku shoe.
And then they blend it with a

612
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800
single grain whisky called the
cheetah, and you can get all

613
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000
three of those, but they're
significantly pricier.

614
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,800
So they just blend them here and
they release it as a nonage

615
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,000
stated thing, and it's way
cheaper.

616
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,200
So, This is a lot of people's
introduction to Japanese whiskey

617
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:48,800
Brad.
I believe we've only had three

618
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,400
Japanese whiskeys on the show up
to this point.

619
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,200
So this is a realm that we're
still relatively new to, but

620
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,100
we've had enough Scotch and the
the production, the process of

621
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,100
making Japanese whisky is so
similar that, I feel like we can

622
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:05,700
still give some some pretty
accurate notes on Japanese

623
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:08,400
whisky.
But I always am excited to try

624
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,500
another one.
My-my question is, does this

625
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,500
bottle come with a replica?
Mirai on top, it does not.

626
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:18,800
So we're going to deduct at
least four points for that

627
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:24,500
easily easily four points off
for the chin, seest bottling.

628
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,300
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, it's that I've ever seen

629
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:31,200
that bottling so frustrating
because it is like, it's such a

630
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400
gimmick but it's so well
constructed.

631
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,800
Like it's made out of metal.
It's really nice.

632
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:39,000
And I just think about like if
we were going to export

633
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,300
American, whiskey to Japan and
do the same thing like what we

634
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:48,600
just like Build a porcelain like
fat guy with a trucker hat and I

635
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,200
put it on top of here.
Jack Daniel's bottle.

636
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,900
I feel like it'd be like Paul
Bunyan on top of the bottle.

637
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,300
Which is a big Lumberjack with
an axe.

638
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,500
I love it.
All right, we're not even

639
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,600
talking about this whiskey.
Let's get back to this whiskey,

640
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:04,500
Brad, what are you picking up on
the nose here?

641
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:07,700
Oh man, it's a pleasant knows
Bob.

642
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:11,000
It's got some honey going on.
A little bit of peach.

643
00:34:11,699 --> 00:34:14,100
There's a little bit of floral
stuff going on.

644
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:17,000
On there and it's a little bit
okey at the end.

645
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,400
So that like, it's nice.
It's not overpowering.

646
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,199
It's very delicate.
I'll give it a seven and a half.

647
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,199
Yeah, there is something
underlying it though that it

648
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,900
keeps kind of like, undercutting
it where every time I'm thinking

649
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,000
like, oh, this is really
Pleasant.

650
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,100
There's some nice like peachy
notes on this and I could really

651
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,100
get into this.
Is has a lots of lemon zest.

652
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:38,800
And then underneath all that is
like the brine from a jar of

653
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,900
green olives, and I can't shake
it.

654
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:45,000
Like there's just something
heavily green Olive about this

655
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,900
and that's something that we've
gotten on on Scotch before

656
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:50,300
especially peated Scotch like it
happened with one of the Ardbeg

657
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:54,199
is just a few weeks ago, but
here it's really fighting

658
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,699
against the super bright fruit
notes.

659
00:34:56,699 --> 00:34:59,900
And it doesn't seem like they
are in harmony with each other

660
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,600
so I think I am going to deduct
a few points because of that.

661
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,400
I'm only going to give this a
six and a half on the nose and

662
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,300
then we get into our taste for
me.

663
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:12,000
It's very thin.
It's a very soft palate.

664
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,800
That honey really comes through
Through and then for me it kind

665
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,800
of moves into more earthy like
grass and floral notes.

666
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,100
Hmm.
That's like interesting but not

667
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:26,400
necessarily my favorite.
I'm going to come down a little

668
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,500
bit.
I'm gonna give it a six out of

669
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,700
ten.
Yeah this this is really

670
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,500
Pleasant up front.
It has just a bit of tingle and

671
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,700
then it hits like the mid palate
and it's just gone.

672
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,900
Like, it's just water at that
point.

673
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,600
And yeah, it's really watered
down.

674
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,500
This is bottled at 43% ABV.
So 86 proof.

675
00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:46,500
So it's not the The lowest proof
that it could be but it really

676
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:48,700
does seem to have affected
something here.

677
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:51,900
I'm not really a huge fan of
this Brad, I like it and it's a

678
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,400
pleasant.
Like I could drink this the way

679
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,100
that I would drink a beer after
mowing the lawn, you know what I

680
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,000
mean?
Like it is.

681
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Yeah it is something that's like
refreshing but it doesn't linger

682
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,900
at all.
So I'm only going to give it

683
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:06,400
now.
I'll call it a 6 on the taste

684
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,800
and then we have our finish,
it's short, it's okey.

685
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,000
And you still have a little bit
of that honey lingering.

686
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,100
I'm going to stay at a 6 out of
10.

687
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:17,200
Yeah, I think a little bit of
The Malt comes through on the

688
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,500
Finish, but it's just such a
small amount and it fades really

689
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,300
quickly.
There's not much finished to

690
00:36:22,308 --> 00:36:24,600
speak of here Brad.
I think this might be like one

691
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,500
of our shortest reviews ever
because there's just not a lot

692
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,800
to pinpoint here.
I'm going to get a five and a

693
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,600
half on the Finish.
Yeah, it really is kind of like

694
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,500
the light beer of the whiskey
world.

695
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:38,900
Like literally I mean it has the
exact same effect on the pallet

696
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,900
that light beer has Mmm.
Yeah and that's the thing.

697
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,300
Like we're getting a balance.
I think this is actually She

698
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:47,400
like decently well balanced.
There's just nothing like

699
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:51,300
outstanding about it.
I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

700
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,600
Yeah.
I'll come up to a six and a

701
00:36:52,607 --> 00:36:55,300
half.
Like if we're just talking

702
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,200
balance this is actually
probably like an 8 out of 10 for

703
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,300
a whiskey that is designed to
only be like a 6.5.

704
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,600
You know what I mean?
Like it, consistently delivers

705
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,300
what I think they're going for
here.

706
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:07,700
It's just like not a great
whiskey.

707
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,900
So I'm going to give it a 6.5
when we get to Value Brad.

708
00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:14,000
What is this selling for in the
state of Ohio?

709
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,600
Well, when I look it up in the
state of Ohio, the only thing

710
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,400
that comes up for suntory is
suntory Toki with highball

711
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,700
glass.
Hmm.

712
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:27,300
So it's like one of those
Christmas time.

713
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:29,800
Like yeah packages they give you
oh I know it comes up.

714
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,500
If you just if you just type in
Toki they've only got it listed

715
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:35,400
as Tokyo Japanese with.
So it's the same price though.

716
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,300
It's 3699, they don't have it
listed under suntory.

717
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:41,100
I was just called Toki Japanese
whiskey.

718
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:45,000
Good job, Ohio.
AO Toki.

719
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:48,500
Yeah, well that's that's my bad
for thinking.

720
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:52,000
I should search the word suntory
for this whiskey.

721
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,200
Sorry about that phone.
Whiskey Nation.

722
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,600
Yeah.
So you said it's $37.

723
00:37:56,700 --> 00:37:58,200
It is.
Okay.

724
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:02,300
So 37.
Yeah, I'll give it a super

725
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:06,300
excited 10.
Yep, it's too much but I'll say

726
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,900
it's a pleasant experience.
It's just not much more than

727
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:12,200
that.
It's just kind of like a nice

728
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,700
little pleasant experience.
If this cost like 2999.

729
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:19,300
I'd be like, yeah, sure great.
It's an imported whiskey, you

730
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:22,900
know, 20 30 bucks.
Its pleasant, it's fun.

731
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,900
And I would honestly, probably
keep a bottle, you know, to

732
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:28,200
share with friends be like, hey,
this is kind of like a starting

733
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,600
point for Japanese whiskey.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

734
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,900
I'm going to give it a 6 on
value, it used to be closer to

735
00:38:35,908 --> 00:38:37,900
thirty dollars.
I think even a year ago is only

736
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:42,100
$34 so it has been slowly
increasing in price and I don't

737
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:44,100
think the quality is there to
justify that.

738
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,700
That.
So Brad, I'm coming out to a

739
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:50,600
30.5 out of 50.
I appreciate this for what it

740
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,000
is.
It just doesn't have much going

741
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,300
on in the glass.
So it's like if you dig Bud

742
00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:00,100
Light and you want the whiskey
equivalent of that, like that's

743
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:02,000
what this is.
And I'm not knocking anybody,

744
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,100
who likes that if you want
something that's much, softer

745
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,600
and goes away quickly, and
doesn't linger and isn't going

746
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,000
to give you much of a chest
burn.

747
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:12,200
Start here Toki is like exactly
what you want but compared to

748
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,800
some of the more complex and
Whiskey's.

749
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,900
We've had it just doesn't stack
up Brad.

750
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:21,200
Yeah, I'm with you.
I'm coming to a 32.5 out of 50.

751
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:26,500
I honestly I don't know if I
would encourage you to try this

752
00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:30,700
at a bar like yeah I just don't
know if it would be worth

753
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:32,300
paying.
I don't know.

754
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:35,400
Six to nine dollars somewhere
around there.

755
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,400
I don't think it'd be worth
paying that much for a shot of

756
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,200
this.
I think the way I'd say to go

757
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,000
about it is like get a few
friends who are interested in

758
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,600
trying a Japanese whisky and
split the out of a bottle and

759
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,000
just drink the whole bottle on
a, you know, on a hot summers

760
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,800
night on the porch and just
shoot the crap and enjoy some

761
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,000
decent whiskey.
Yeah, I mean, I honestly would

762
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,500
recommend buying a bottle before
buying a glass of this.

763
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,300
Like, I think it's worth, you
know, if you're trying to get

764
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:02,300
into Japanese whiskey, this is
probably going to be the most

765
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:04,900
available Thing by you and it's
a good starting point.

766
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,500
Like, there's nothing wrong with
having a starting point whiskey.

767
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:12,000
So I would say pick it up and if
you like it, keep getting it,

768
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:14,600
you know?
So we're coming out to a 60. 3

769
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,700
out of 100 or 31.5 out of 50 on
average.

770
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:22,300
I'm not going to recommend other
than to say, if you're new to

771
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:25,600
Japanese whiskey, this is the
best place to start, but I will

772
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,800
say, if there's a place to start
with the mission impossible

773
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,500
franchise, it might be with with
Mission Impossible, 3.

774
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:34,300
Well Brad, let's get into
talking about it.

775
00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:35,800
What do you say?
Let's get to it.

776
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,600
All right, everybody that was
suntory.

777
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,300
Toki a whiskey that we are not
super bullish on.

778
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:48,000
Is that fair?
Oh totally fair.

779
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,700
Okay.
Yeah, but you know what?

780
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:53,400
I am bullish on.
Brad Mission Impossible. 3 to

781
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,100
facts in a falsehood.
That's what I'm yes, you are the

782
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:58,000
best segment.
I don't know.

783
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:00,500
Would you say this is our best
segment or is it still Brad

784
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:03,800
explains?
I really like this segment to

785
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:05,900
it's fun.
It's competitive.

786
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,900
That's like America's Roots, it
is And there's also like the

787
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,200
added bonus of, not knowing
whether we're going to get

788
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,700
fact-checked after the fact.
Yeah.

789
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:16,800
After retroactively change
scores like it's just it's a

790
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:18,400
complete crap shoot and I love
it.

791
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,900
It's chaos.
It's it's absolute chaos.

792
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:24,400
Bob are you ready for your three
facts about Mission?

793
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,700
Impossible, 3.
All right, let's hear it.

794
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:26,700
All right.
Fact.

795
00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:30,500
Number one, while he normally
does all stunts on his own, a

796
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:34,000
pair of cracked ribs prevented,
Tom from performing the majority

797
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,200
of stunts in this movie and the
the wild thing about this Is

798
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,600
that it's set back filming for
about a week as they had to find

799
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,900
a stunt, double they actually
did in the production process in

800
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:48,200
casting, they didn't find a
stunt double for him because he

801
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,400
normally does every single one
of his own stunts.

802
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,500
Interesting.
Okay.

803
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:57,200
Fax number to the role of Benji,
was originally given to Ricky

804
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,100
Gervais, who had to drop out,
due to scheduling conflicts with

805
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:03,000
for your consideration.
Huh.

806
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:06,900
Fax number three.
While they were filming in Rome,

807
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,600
you know, when They were he was
climbing up the wall to get into

808
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,800
Vatican City.
The production crew couldn't do

809
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,500
anything like to officially shoo
away all of these inquisitive

810
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:21,000
Italians.
And so they set up a phony

811
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,100
second unit a little further
away and they hired several

812
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:29,500
women in bikinis and several
older women dressed as nuns and

813
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:31,900
pretended to be filming takes
for the movie.

814
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,800
While the main unit filmed Ethan
climbing up over the wall in the

815
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,200
Vatican City.
You know, I'm just going to I'm

816
00:42:38,207 --> 00:42:41,500
not even going to like go in
depth on how I think the other

817
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:43,700
the other ones go.
I'm just going to say I think

818
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:46,200
twos the falsehood and I have no
basis for that.

819
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
But I just cant see.
Ricky Gervais seen this movie?

820
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,300
I'm probably wrong, but I'm
going to say to the falsehood

821
00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:55,500
Bob.
Number two is not the false

822
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:57,100
Hill.
Wow.

823
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:58,800
Oh man, they made the right
choice.

824
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,700
Oh, 100% made the right choice.
Yeah, well, I mean, like I said

825
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:06,900
earlier, think about it at the
time Simon Pegg was not really

826
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:11,100
super Well known and Ricky
Gervais had just created the the

827
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:13,800
office.
The British version and for

828
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,300
whatever reason they wanted him
to.

829
00:43:15,308 --> 00:43:18,400
Wow, but he did not do that
role.

830
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,700
All right, so what was the
falsehood Tom Cruise did not

831
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:24,900
have two cracked ribs.
Did he do his own stunts?

832
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,200
He did do his own stunts.
Interesting.

833
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,800
I will say this is one of the
few Mission Impossible movies

834
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,300
where I can really see some like
some green screen going on

835
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:37,300
especially the scene where he's
like floating out of the The

836
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:41,500
skyscraper with his parachute.
And yeah, and kind of plummeting

837
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:42,500
towards the ground.
Yep.

838
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,300
It's pretty clearly, obviously,
it or not, that's something you

839
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:48,100
can't capture but especially
with where the series has gone

840
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:49,800
since then.
And like in Fallout where you

841
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,700
like follow him jumping out of a
plane and it's very tactile and

842
00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:55,800
real.
Yep, you could kind of tell that

843
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,200
they were patching over some
areas where he couldn't do a

844
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,400
real stunt.
Yeah.

845
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:06,000
There's definitely I think that
if anything, it's that that

846
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,300
in-between time When green
screen and CGI just wasn't quite

847
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,500
up to standards that you start
to see with like avatar coming

848
00:44:15,500 --> 00:44:19,600
out and 2009 10, 11.
So I think that they did the

849
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,900
best they could but you are
100%, right?

850
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:25,600
There's a few few issues with
the stunt work in this one.

851
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,600
But my boy, Tommy Crews, still
nailed them all on his own.

852
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:33,800
He sure did man, let's see if
Tom Cruise for the very end and

853
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,000
let's talk JJ Abrams because if
I'm going to nitpick the movie,

854
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,400
Oh, I'm going to nitpick JJ
Abrams, and it has become very

855
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,000
fashionable to nitpick JJ Abrams
in light of the Star Wars

856
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,200
Fiasco.
And the fact that, you know,

857
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,300
once he started doing lost and
he developed this whole, what's

858
00:44:49,300 --> 00:44:52,000
it called?
Like the mystery box approach,

859
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,800
to, to story writing, you know,
he doesn't really do that here.

860
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,500
Like, there's a MacGuffin at the
heart of this movie, but it's a

861
00:44:58,508 --> 00:45:02,300
pretty a, to be movie.
So I have to give him a lot of

862
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:04,900
credit, and I think that some of
these sequences are among the

863
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:07,900
best in the mission impossible.
Franchise like They're not done

864
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:10,300
in one long, take the way that
many of them are now.

865
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,300
But the bridge sequence is one
of the best action sequences

866
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:17,400
like just as a set piece of the
last 20 years.

867
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,000
It's excellent, utterly
phenomenal.

868
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:23,000
There's a great there's a great
elevator sequence.

869
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
You know, people always talk
about the Captain America,

870
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,300
Winter Soldier one.
This is a really good elevator

871
00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:28,500
fight.
I got to give it to him.

872
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,600
Yeah, there's something about
Anna setting an action scene in

873
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,600
An Elevator that like it kind
of.

874
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,100
It almost reminds me of like
when we talked about baseball,

875
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,500
All movies and how everybody
knows the geography of a

876
00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:43,400
baseball movie.
Like, everybody knows the

877
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,400
geography of an elevator, and
that might sound like a dumb

878
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,700
statement because you might just
be like, well, Brad elevators

879
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:53,000
are tiny.
And they're this big empty shaft

880
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,100
and I'm like, yes, like that's
the point.

881
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:58,500
Like when you set an action
piece in the middle of an

882
00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:01,400
elevator, everybody knows that
there's nowhere to go.

883
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:06,300
And that like the action is fast
and brutal and heavy and then he

884
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:10,300
just freaking The top off and
starts climbing up the that they

885
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:13,800
it's just, it's just such a
great set piece.

886
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,900
And I think that even beyond
the, the action pieces in this

887
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:23,500
movie like the whole Italy gig
from the point where they they

888
00:46:23,500 --> 00:46:26,900
have their van fake breakdown
and they get into that argument,

889
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:29,400
you know, to the point where
they're blowing up this

890
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,000
beautiful car to make it look
like the bad guy.

891
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,700
What's-his-name.
Davion, I think they make it

892
00:46:36,707 --> 00:46:38,400
look like Philip Seymour Hoffman
died.

893
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,200
So, like that whole scene, I
think might be the best bit of

894
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,700
the whole movie and it's not
even the main point.

895
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:51,400
So I think that Abraham's gets a
lot of crap for ripping off

896
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,500
Spielberg a lot, and it's become
very apparent, you know.

897
00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:56,400
He made a movie called Super 8.
I don't know if I ever saw that

898
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,700
movie, not that great.
But it really aped.

899
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:04,100
The Spielberg Close Encounters,
ET kind of, you know, even some

900
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:06,700
of the movies that Spielberg
produced, like, Goonies it had

901
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:07,700
all that.
Going on.

902
00:47:08,300 --> 00:47:11,100
And he has said for years and
years that he wants to be the

903
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:13,100
next Spielberg and that
Spielberg's his favorite

904
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:17,500
director.
And I think here he shows how to

905
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:21,000
do an homage to Spielberg and to
do it well and then to move on

906
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:24,400
because there's a sequence where
Tom Cruise is trying to escape

907
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,500
out of a building with a
parachute and that entire

908
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:28,500
sequence, the way that it's
filmed the way that it's cut

909
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:32,000
together.
The visual gags total Spielberg

910
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:36,200
like when Tom Cruise lands in
the boardroom it crashes through

911
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,900
the window and lands on it.
Table and then there's just it

912
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:42,300
racks Focus to the back of the
room and there's just a janitor

913
00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:45,700
standing there staring at him
total Spielberg moment and then

914
00:47:45,700 --> 00:47:47,400
the wind picks up and Cruz gets
sucked.

915
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,500
Back out the window, total
Spielberg moment, it's a chuckle

916
00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:53,200
and then when he hits the ground
and the rabbit's foot goes

917
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,500
rolling down the street total
Spielberg mom, like there's just

918
00:47:56,500 --> 00:48:00,200
so many in that sequence but he
also knows like when to stop

919
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,600
doing that and to get serious
again, it's really nice to have

920
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,400
that bit of playfulness in the
movie.

921
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,000
I just wish that Abrams.
Did a better job of, you know,

922
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,900
in general of knowing when to do
omage and when to stop, you know

923
00:48:14,900 --> 00:48:16,900
what I mean, who went to do and
when to do his own thing?

924
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:19,300
Yeah.
And I think that's the issue

925
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:22,500
with Abraham's right is that he
just doesn't really do his own

926
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:26,500
thing for me.
My issue with j.j. in this movie

927
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,100
is like I'm just going to ask
you a simple question.

928
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:31,400
Bob, are you ready?
Hey I'm ready.

929
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,200
How much shakier could the shaky
cam have gotten in this in this

930
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,400
shaky cam move?
G.

931
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:40,600
Oh my gosh.
So here's the thing with me that

932
00:48:40,700 --> 00:48:44,600
I was surprised to see him doing
was this was Abraham's trying

933
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,700
his best to make a Michael Bay
movie and it's really apparent

934
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:50,100
towards the beginning of the
movie.

935
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:53,400
In that kind of Germany, exfil
sequence.

936
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,900
Like, it is shot like a Michael
Bay movie.

937
00:48:55,900 --> 00:48:57,500
They're going for the kind of
grittiness they do.

938
00:48:57,500 --> 00:49:00,100
The high contrast thing,
everything kind of has like a

939
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:03,300
greenish filter on it.
All the buildings in this movie

940
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:06,700
are very industrial and they're
either like really grimy or

941
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:08,700
they're like, Lee shiny on the
inside.

942
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:11,800
It's just it's total, Michael
Bay and it makes me kind of

943
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,900
Wonder, like, I don't know, a
lot about the production history

944
00:49:13,900 --> 00:49:16,300
of this movie or what's rumor or
what's not.

945
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,400
I kind of wonder if Cruz had
gone into this movie thinking,

946
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,800
like we need baby for this
movie, or we need something like

947
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,900
him because Abrams doesn't
really make another movie that

948
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:29,000
looks or feels like this.
But Brad, like I sent you a

949
00:49:29,008 --> 00:49:31,900
YouTube video to watch that was
breaking down Michael Bay's

950
00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:36,300
visual style and you can't tell
me that Abraham's wasn't just

951
00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:40,100
directly Trying to copy him.
No 100%.

952
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,000
I do know that originally, it
was supposed to be David

953
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,700
Fincher, who was going to direct
Mission Impossible.

954
00:49:47,700 --> 00:49:49,000
Interesting.
Okay.

955
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,700
Which yeah would have been
absolutely wild and then

956
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:58,300
replacing Fincher was Joe
Carnahan.

957
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,900
Okay.
And he was actually in

958
00:49:59,900 --> 00:50:05,700
production for like up to like
15 months but it took so long

959
00:50:05,900 --> 00:50:12,100
that he He moved on and just
like wasn't down with it and so

960
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:16,700
they finally got JJ Abrams so
interesting.

961
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:20,100
There you go.
No Michael Bay but I would be

962
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:24,800
curious because the way JJ plays
it off, there's just explosions

963
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,400
everywhere.
And the camera movement feels

964
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,400
similar to Bay.
I'm with you.

965
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,200
Dude.
The the movie screams like

966
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:34,700
Michael Bay all over but I will
say this.

967
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,900
I think it works.
Hmm.

968
00:50:37,500 --> 00:50:40,300
Like like the opening action
scene, man.

969
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:43,700
The way they show the guns, the
turret swiveling.

970
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:49,800
It kind of has like a Star Wars
feel to it or what was the Pearl

971
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,100
Harbor.
Yeah, that that Michael Bay did

972
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:55,400
like the way the turrets are
spinning around and then

973
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,700
shooting into it.
Like it just has a heavy feel to

974
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:04,400
it and it's just cool.
I will say, like there are some

975
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,900
moments in this movie that I was
really surprised at like, in a

976
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:13,300
Isn't way the needle drop of.
We are family coming on that the

977
00:51:13,300 --> 00:51:15,800
boom box but Harry it's very
strange.

978
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,300
It's really funny though because
then they cut outside and it

979
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:21,800
like jj-just blasts it, like
it's the soundtrack of the movie

980
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,200
and they don't do that kind of
thing in Mission.

981
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,900
Impossible movies and so I
really like, I kind of liked it.

982
00:51:26,900 --> 00:51:30,000
I was like, yeah, screw it.
Let's do something fun for the

983
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,800
next 10 seconds and then we're
back into the action again for

984
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,500
me.
I just, I think this movie still

985
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:36,000
works Brad.
Is it the best Mission

986
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,300
Impossible movie?
No.

987
00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:41,000
Is it like, you know, is the
ending maybe a little bit of a

988
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,800
letdown for me a little bit, but
it's a really good movie and

989
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,100
what it all comes back to is Tom
Cruise.

990
00:51:47,100 --> 00:51:50,600
Like there's not much more we
can really say about Tom Cruise

991
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,200
that we haven't said in other
episodes.

992
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,300
I mean, Edge of Tomorrow, we
raved about the guy.

993
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:57,100
He's so good.
Brad.

994
00:51:57,100 --> 00:52:02,000
He is just he is like the
platonic ideal of a summer

995
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,600
blockbuster actor and he also
binge watched the first two

996
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,000
seasons.
As of Alias and then called JJ

997
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,300
Abrams to direct this movie, I
can see it right?

998
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:21,200
He had foresight dude, Tom just
has this impeccable way of being

999
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:27,300
absolutely just Easy about
everything, he does like, he

1000
00:52:27,300 --> 00:52:32,700
makes everything looks so smooth
and like, for a series called

1001
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:35,800
Mission Impossible.
He just has a way of making the

1002
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,900
impossible.
Things look possible, and I

1003
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:43,900
think that's why he's so daggone
good in these movies is like

1004
00:52:43,900 --> 00:52:48,200
he's just hyper focused hyper
and control of himself as an

1005
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,600
actor like like Tom Cruise as an
actor and Ethan Hunt as a

1006
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,600
character.
Like, there's just no way to

1007
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,600
explain the mission impossible,
franchise without explaining Tom

1008
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,000
Cruise, as a human being.
Like, I don't know if there's

1009
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:08,400
been ever a character that is so
fully embodied by the actor who

1010
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,900
plays and it's just spectacular.
Brad.

1011
00:53:11,900 --> 00:53:13,500
I think I'm ready to go into
final scores.

1012
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,600
Do you want to go first or you
want me to I'll go first?

1013
00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:20,000
It's my movie.
I think that this movie is, is

1014
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,500
just flat-out.
Spectacular, it is.

1015
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,700
It is crazy, Tom Cruise is
running, is spectacular in this

1016
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:31,900
movie.
I've never seen an actor who can

1017
00:53:31,900 --> 00:53:36,300
run with better sprinting form
than Tom Cruise like he just

1018
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:38,300
looks impeccable while he does
it.

1019
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:43,100
I think that the the the scene
where Michelle Monaghan kills

1020
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:47,200
him by sending a shock through
his body is one of the most like

1021
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,700
violent shots in movie history
and it's spectacular.

1022
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,700
I love this movie.
If there are issues with it is,

1023
00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:57,900
not a perfect mission impossible
movie.

1024
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,100
But the reason I picked it for
this frame for this season is

1025
00:54:02,100 --> 00:54:06,400
just because man, oh man, I just
think this is a blast of a

1026
00:54:06,408 --> 00:54:08,500
movie.
It never stops.

1027
00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:10,800
It never quits.
It just moves you from place to

1028
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,500
place to place.
And has action set piece after

1029
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:15,300
action set piece of keep you
moving.

1030
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,900
I love this film Bob, I will
give it a nine point five out of

1031
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:20,400
Tau.
That's awesome, man.

1032
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:23,000
Yeah, I see, here's the thing
about this movie is that, I

1033
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,300
think, Everything about it
works.

1034
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:27,300
Like there's nothing about it,
that doesn't work.

1035
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:30,600
But there are degrees of like
this works less than this.

1036
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,500
Does that make sense like a
hundred percent?

1037
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:36,300
And for a movie to be a 10/10, I
feel like everything has to work

1038
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:39,300
in a has to work almost to
maximum capability.

1039
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:42,400
And so for me, the thing that is
going to bring it down just a

1040
00:54:42,408 --> 00:54:45,900
little bit.
Is that the ending of the movie

1041
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,300
is just not as strong as it
should be.

1042
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:52,300
And for me it's the it's the
fact that they really kind of

1043
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:56,700
took credit Character and made
him the brains of the operation

1044
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,400
which left Hoffman just as like,
big brutish guy that had a

1045
00:55:01,408 --> 00:55:04,500
grudge and you know, it just
kind of devolves into the scene

1046
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:07,400
of him like beating up Tom
Cruise and being like, didn't I

1047
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,100
tell you Tony like just punching
him you know like Jeff Bridges

1048
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,000
and and it just that didn't work
for me and it's because the plot

1049
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,100
of the movie, kind of falls
apart, if you give it any

1050
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:21,600
thought towards the end of the
movie, like the thing that's

1051
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,700
driving Davian.
Is that he's pissed off at

1052
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:28,400
cruise for the way that Ethan
interrogated him.

1053
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:32,100
Like, you hung me out of a
plane, you disrespected me, but

1054
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:35,500
even was only doing that even
only interrogated him in the

1055
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:38,600
first place.
Because krupps character sent

1056
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,700
them to get him and then that
really makes you think, like,

1057
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:45,000
wait a minute.
When you break down Billy crudup

1058
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,900
scare actors motivation, which
is like, we're going to take the

1059
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:51,800
rabbit's foot, we're going to
let it be sold by Davian to this

1060
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,800
Middle East buyer.
We're going to use that as an

1061
00:55:54,808 --> 00:55:58,200
incentive to go start a war and
Implement a democracy in this

1062
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,400
Middle Eastern country.
It kind of makes the IMF

1063
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,800
completely Superfluous to the
whole thing.

1064
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,700
Like, why couldn't, why did you
ever involve the IMF in, in any

1065
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:09,300
way?
Like, why couldn't you have just

1066
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:12,400
let Davian?
Keep the rabbit's foot, sell it

1067
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,800
to the person, you know, it was
getting sold to and then started

1068
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,000
your War, like, I don't
understand the plan at all,

1069
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,500
because you know what I mean?
I think you might have missed

1070
00:56:22,500 --> 00:56:24,900
one key.
I'm Bob because Billy crudup

1071
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:28,000
scared, or didn't actually send
them to get Philip Seymour

1072
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,700
Hoffman's character.
Because if you remember, Benji

1073
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:36,400
finds the that he's going to
roam the next day to Vatican

1074
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:41,800
City, and Tom Cruise tells him.
Don't tell crudup about it

1075
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,200
because I want him to have
deniability.

1076
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,000
So he didn't actually send them
to go get him.

1077
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:50,600
That's right.
So I don't know man.

1078
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,600
I think Ethan made an enemy all
of his own.

1079
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:57,100
He's The figure out who the mole
is in the IMF.

1080
00:56:57,100 --> 00:56:58,900
I did forget about that line.
You're right.

1081
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,100
Okay.
It makes more sense.

1082
00:57:00,700 --> 00:57:02,900
I'm going to, I'm still gonna
give the movie an 8.5 out of 10.

1083
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,600
I think it works really really
well, but like, if Fallout is a

1084
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,700
nine and a half the, and the
original for me is probably like

1085
00:57:10,700 --> 00:57:12,100
somewhere between eight and a
half and a nine.

1086
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:15,600
I think this is just a hair
below that, I need to re-watch

1087
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,100
four and five because 4 is the
one where he climbs the Burj

1088
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,300
Khalifa & 5 is it's awesome.
So cool.

1089
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:24,100
I was the one where they do the
thing at the Emlyn, but I don't

1090
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:26,400
remember like anything else that
happens in either of those

1091
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,700
movies.
And so they're kind of nebulous

1092
00:57:28,700 --> 00:57:32,100
like I don't know what my
ranking would be but just of the

1093
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:35,200
ones I remember like Fallout at
the top.

1094
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,200
Number one is underneath that 3
is beneath that and then there's

1095
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,800
like, you know, 30 feet and then
there's two at the bottom.

1096
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:43,600
So yeah, I'm going to give it an
eight and a half.

1097
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,100
I think it's a great movie.
We're coming out to an average

1098
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:48,900
of a 9 out of 10, but we'd like
to know what you think.

up my list with a movie from the

1108
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,400

Barry Jenkins that I think

1109
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:19,600
didn't get the love.
It deserved.

1110
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,000
It's called if Beale Street
could talk very different movie

We're going to wrap up my list

1112
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:28,500
and then we'll be back for our
final episode, Harry Potter, and
