Here it is! The moment you’ve been waiting for! For our 200th episode we are joined by Tom Cruise himself! But that’s not all, we are also joined by “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” writer/director Christopher McQuarrie, editor Eddie Hamilton and actors Mark Gatiss and Nick Offerman. Plus, we get a cameo from “Top Gun: Maverick” stars Glen Powell, Greg Tarzan Davis and Danny Ramirez. This episode is very much worth the wait!

This week we dip into the “Mission: Impossible” multiverse by exploring the Robert Towne draft of the first movie. We go through the script, picking apart the changes from the final film, both subtle and substantial, while comparing it to the David Koepp drafts that both preceded and followed this draft. It’s a peek at a never-made ‘Mission’ that very nearly was!

This week we are so lucky to be chatting with IMF team member Zhen Lei herself Maggie Q! We discuss her history in Hong Kong cinema, learning from Jackie Chan and how Brett Ratner was being courted for “Mission: Impossible III” before J.J. Abrams accepted the gig. We also get great stories about costume designer Colleen Atwood, her iconic red dress and working with Philip Seymour Hoffman. Also, lots of dog-talk and dog noises!
