Web Bist of TRILOGY IN THEORY co-pilots all for the love of Hayley Atwell.

But don't worry all you level-headed listeners... Vanessa Kirby also get a lot of love. As does the latest entry in the Christopher McQuarrie helmed entries to the Ethan Hunt saga which also doubles as yet another attempt to kill Tom Cruise. As the last remaining Hollywood showman will this film stand the test of time? In short, we don't care. This movie was a blast.

What one host does care about is settling scores with all the internet haters of John Woo's CLASSIC version and wants it on the record that his forty plus watches of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 were not in vain.

Before DEAD RECKONING We Need A FEW GOOD MEN

A return to the SOBER CINEMA is in order for The Savior of Cinema.

My co-hosts in the past tense only (it's better for present self that way) Jairo and Jared return to the heat check of Rob Reiner's run on film with A FEW GOOD MEN. Among the topics of interest as we attempt to find a new take on this classic:

The "good vibes only" nature of a Miami sports fan. Any losses go in the memory hole.
A spirited defense on the decisions of Jack Nicholson in this film.
Is this the least that Tom Cruise had to exert himself in the history of his roles playing the hero?

All of this as we look forward to Mr. Cruise coming back to save the theatrical box-office once again with next week's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE! Even the title reeks of blessed excess.

Joan Cusack was the Robot Barbie ahead of her time.

I don't know if that's a spoiler because it was honestly hard to follow Barry Levinson's fever dream passion project TOYS. We debate the creep factor of many things in this film:

The use of Robin Williams childlike nature YET AGAIN used as a means of courtship. This time THE PRINCESS BRIDE herself, Robin Wright, is the unfortunate love interest.
LL COOL J as The Prodigal Son and ALSO The Master of Disguise (shoutout to Dana Carvey.)
And finally... the white privilege of a robot's chosen diet.
