After Lunch | Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One (2023)

Rob and I wrap our Mission: Impossible movies watch-through (for now) with the new entry in the series: Dead Reckoning, Part One. We talk about all the spoilers and whether second viewings changed our perspective on anything. Well, one thing in particular, but sure, everything else, too.

After Lunch | The Hasbro Cinematic Universe

As Hasbro begins building its cinematic universe in real life, Rob and I welcome Jeeg and my son, David to talk about how we would do it. Following the MCU model, each person has picked a Hasbro game or toy to adapt into a movie that then connects somehow into the other movies, all leading to an Avengers-style crossover blockbuster. Madness or genius? You decide!

After Lunch | On Her Majesty's Secret Christmas

After Lunch | On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

After some Goldfinger and Thunderball trivia that you can play along with, Rob, Karen Flieger, and I talk about George Lazenby's grounded and human James Bond, Diana Riggs' lovely and kickass Tracy di Vicenzo, and Telly Savalas' tough and brutish Ernst Stavro Blofeld. It's an unusual entry in the series, but is it also good? Once we settle that, we wrap with some On Her Majesty's Secret Service trivia, too.
