Your mission, should you choose to accept it: revisit the film that started it all.

In this episode, we’re diving into Mission: Impossible (1996). The slick, stylish thriller that kickstarted one of the biggest action franchises in movie history.

We break down what made De Palma’s take so bold and different, how it still looks incredible nearly 30 years later, and why it’s so much fun to revisit. 

Plus, James shares a behind-the-scenes story from the Phoenician Scheme premiere.
