Rob DeeringHOST
He's got a great gait.
Rob DeeringHOST
Ethan Hunt, you know, Tom Cruise is such a studied actor.
Rob DeeringHOST
He runs in different ways depending on who's playing.
Rob DeeringHOST
But Ethan Hunt, who I think, don't get me wrong, is probably about 97% Tom Cruise.
Rob DeeringHOST
He's got this speeding gait where his legs, big stride, knees right up, his torso... barely moves at all really sits like his head is he could be balancing a glass of water on the top of his head i
Jo WilkinsonGUEST
do and his head
JoeHOST
In the same way Tom
GarenHOST
Cruise is, but Ethan Hunt is innocent.
GarenHOST
Sorry, you don't know who Ethan Hunt is.
GarenHOST
Digger.
GarenHOST
Digger Rockwell is innocent.
IndieHOST
That's what's going on here.
IndieHOST
He's literally like, he wants Ethan Hunt.
IndieHOST
Operating under non-official cover can be more dangerous than working under diplomatic cover because Knox lacks diplomatic immunity if they're caught.
IndieHOST
Uh-huh.
Julia HullHOST
Insidious is really good at doing that and then purposefully not filling the space for a while until they do.
Giles GoffHOST
Insidious I've never seen I think I've seen the start it's the Ethan Hunt Ethan Hawke in the first one right
Julia HullHOST
yes it's James Wan as the director who did like a whole spate and you know not every Insidious film are made equal you know Some are far superior to others, but the very first one, there's a constant trend of having someone in shot and in a nice, big, open doorway or hallway, which is
Tim HillierGUEST
empty,
Hunter HillHOST
Weirdly, this trip to Eastern Europe feels more like Hollywood's interpretation of espionage.
Hunter HillHOST
I feel like a medically obese Ethan Hunt, you know, Ethan Bunt cake.
Hunter HillHOST
Wah, wah.
Hunter HillHOST
This trip has been super cool.
ChrisHOST
Andy Warhol is correct.
ChrisHOST
Mike, Ethan Hunt is played by Tom Cruise in which film franchise? Mission Impossible.
ChrisHOST
Mission Impossible is correct.
ChrisHOST
By the way, those missions are eventually possible.
San QingHOST
Yang is the admission of all colors.
San QingHOST
And you, Ethan Hunt, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to walk through the center and realize the mission impossible is absolutely possible because there is no definition.
San QingHOST
The identity is dissolved just like everything else, including the politics of the cult of personality.
San QingHOST
And so that void becomes true, the truth serum.
Christian EstabrookHOST
And like, I, what Myra and I got into a lot is the Mission Impossible franchise, like, really, like, took off and got to another level, like, in the back half of that run, which is very strange and surprising for franchise filmmaking to have this, like, so much juice late in the run.
Christian EstabrookHOST
And so, yeah, so, you know, we went hard on Mission Impossible and the cruise of it all because it was my take, and I think Myra was with me, like, the Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt figure, like the saving the world.
Christian EstabrookHOST
There's like an angle where it's not really about the, you know, MacGuffins of that movie, but it's kind of about movies in general, like capital M movies.
Christian EstabrookHOST
Like if Tom Cruise isn't there to try and save the movies, then what do we have? Like in the world of Mission Impossible, you'd be afraid to not have Ethan Hunt around.
Christian EstabrookHOST
For me, I'm afraid to not have Tom Cruise around.
Christian EstabrookHOST
And so it's cemented for me.

Christian EstabrookHOST
Do you know the depths? I don't know.
Christian EstabrookHOST
But the way I think about the journey of Tom Cruise as a figure in movies for my entire lifetime...
Vincent M. GaineHOST
Spy films are a staple of Western cinema.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
with agencies like MI6 and CIA, figures like James Bond and Ethan Hunt, and resistance movements in the occupied Europe of World War II making frequent appearances on screen.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
But there are, and have been, conflicts all around the world that also involved spying, including resistance movements against occupations.
Vincent M. GaineHOST
One such movement is that of Korea under Japanese rule that lasted from 1910 to 1945.

Hello, Jack Ryan.
BrettHOST
But there is a little bit of hijinks in the sense that like they think his life is a lot more spy thrilled than it actually is.
BrettHOST
So they think he is in immediate danger, on the run, like Ethan Hunt, code red, gotta go.
BrettHOST
They think they're part of the impossible mission force now.
BrettHOST
They're
