156: RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT! | Mission: Impossible (1996)

What are you even doing with your life if you aren't jumping out of a plane or off the side of a building at 60 being a literal spy?

Since it's Mission: Impossible season it was only right to review the one that started it all, the 1996 chapter. As children of the 80s both me and Jai are super familiar with Tom Cruise as an entity and every year he seems to ratchet up our collective blood pressure with each installment in the franchise.

We both remember seeing this film back in the day and it was such a fun ride. Some of the things we touch on is the amazing minimalist fashion, some Scientology, and marvel at the practical effects they used on the most "impossible" scenes.

If only I could have lived in this apartment building in 1992. It was Jai's first time watching this semi-commercial take on a rom-com of the  "grunge" era and I revisited it for the millionth time. -...

One weekend that lasts a lifetime.  Me and Charles had such a blast discussing this one.  To think this all took place in three days is wild.  We talk the wild ways of the road (ahem, Brad Pitt), trad...
