It's Lawrence of Arabia meets The Abyss with a side-helping of Sidney Lumet's Fail Safe and they can't wait to see it again. In this episode they discuss the meanings of the movie and also make time to mull over the qualities of all of the other Mission: Impossible pictures. Enjoy.

SPOILER ALERT: your neighbors are terrible. We bring this up Dear Listener because, with the infinite amount of “content” out there, it can be hard to decide what to watch, but Gareth has a suggestion: Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, with their examination of crime, hope and atonement are just the thing for this week. A real spoiler alert: please watch these two films before listening to the show. Yours in Cinema, Jett and Gareth.

In an episode that frankly goes off the rails multiple times, we discuss our favorite Gene Hackman movies while reflecting on what made him such an extraordinary actor, dissect what wasn’t said at the 2025 Academy Awards and ask what our responsibilities are in the response to the unfolding national emergency in the United States.

The Brutalist is magnificent, it’s bleak and beautiful at exactly the same time, go see it. At least that’s what Jett thinks. Gareth agrees...but maybe not quite so much?
