Just in time for Dead Reckoning (Part I), we're returning to one of our favorite franchises to talk about the film that started it all: Brian De Palma's 1996 blockbuster Mission: Impossible!

\\n

Join in as we discuss the film's post-Cold War setting, the Impossible Mission Force, Vanessa Redgrave's villainous performance, and our brief glimpse of pre-breakdown Ethan Hunt.

\\n

Plus: Why were fans of the Mission: Impossible TV show upset with the movie? How did the rat at Langley die? Why is the NOC list available as a single file? And, most importantly, why doesn't Ethan do magic more often?
