About this episode
"Scene Weekly" For our 60th episode, we’re trying something new: focusing on one iconic film—Brian De Palma’s Mission: Impossible (1996). We break down Tom Cruise’s star-making turn as Ethan Hunt, the legendary CIA heist, and how this franchise-starter balanced suspense with blockbuster spectacle. Does it hold up? Is it the best M:I? Press play and find out!
