Mission Impossible (1996)

What does sitting through church without rolling your eyes and Brian de Palma’s 1996 action spy flick have in common?  They’re both Mission Impossible! Alright, a bit of a reach there but there was no time to waste! Mission Impossible is de Palma’s 1996 blockbuster spy movie featuring Tom Cruise, Jean Reno, Ving Rhames, and Jon Voight. Cruise stars as Mike’s brother, Ethan Hunt, a super spy who has been disavowed by his agency after being framed for the murders of his teammates. He must now work to solve the puzzle of what happened and who’s behind it and you know what? It turns out to be pretty darn difficult. Mission Impossible was made for $80 million and brought home a whopping $457 million in the box office ending in 3^rd place behind Independence Day and somehow Twister. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate prophylactic masks and plots dependent on diarrhea as we try to determine if we accept this Mission or let the glasses self destruct on our face.
