We\\u2019ve covered how summer is the season of sequels, but so far this year we\\u2019ve avoided mentioning Tom Cruise. Well, no longer, because he\\u2019s in a\\u2014say it with me\\u2014sequel. This sequel\\u2019s special, though, because it\\u2019s in a franchise that has a colon right in the main title, and you know how much Daniel loves those. Franchises with colons in the title get to use dashes for the installment names, though, so that makes it a bit better. OK, so the movie\\u2019s Mission: Impossible\\u2014Fallout, but you already knew that. The only way we could say something unexpected about it was to talk about punctuation. We hope you\\u2019re happy.

Just so it\\u2019s not all Cruise all the time, though, let\\u2019s also take a minute to talk about some TV. Err, sort-of TV. Whatever we\\u2019re calling all these streaming services that are turning into premium cable networks. Hulu has a new show called Castle Rock that\\u2019s produced by JJ Abrams and draws from all over Stephen King\\u2019s body of work. It\\u2019s a show made for Josh to hate, but sadly he\\u2019s not here to talk about it. We\\u2019ll let Chris, Melody, and Daniel do that instead; we\\u2019re sure they\\u2019ll be just as pessimistic about it.

And with that, it\\u2019s off to Facebook. How many impossible missions will it take for the word \\u201cimpossible\\u201d to lose all meaning? You decide!
