Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning
We're diving deep just like Ethan Hunt as we talk about the 2025 sequel Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. It's a race to see if we can keep this episode under the running time of this movie as we talk about the cold open, which we can't even finish before taking a break, a chat about the underwater submarine sequence which is one of our favorite sequences in the entire series and the highs and lows of cross cutting between the thrilling biplane stunt and whatever else is going on to wrap up this possibly and hopefully final film in the series.
