Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to this podcast. OK, sorry that was corny. In this episode we welcome Drew and Charles from the official Mission: Impossible podcast, Light the Fuse!

We asked them to give us four movies they felt relate to the brand new Dead Reckoning: Part One and boy did they deliver. We discussed The Hunt For Red October, The Wrong Trousers, Police Story 3: Supercop, and The Lone Ranger(??). Additional topics include: becoming friends with Tom Cruise thanks to their podcast, not asking him his four faves, McQ and Tom’s collaboration style, our favorite Hong Kong stunts and out-takes, our REAL personal four faves, and much more. On a personal note, this episode is dedicated to slim’s dog Chloe. You can hear barking in the background a few times. Chloe, we miss and love you. 🧡💚💙
