Hey everyone, welcome to The Nerve. We are back after a week off and I am so happy to be reunited with all of you. And we are hitting the ground running. You know what? I'm going to amend that. We're sprinting. We've got a lot to get to to you we've got two big stars heading to the woodshed

actually we're going to put one of them in the wood shipper we're expanding here at the nerve

you know what i'm telling you actually we did have a meeting during our week off and we were

discussing expansion we're going to be adding another show, it looks like, to the weekly schedule.

That's sooner than later. So all good things are happening here. We've got a preening hipster author

who was once great and is now he's going out back to. He showed his face in the culture and it's not pretty.

Plus, we are going to dive into your feedback.

I'm so, so glad you guys kept writing and DMing me during our little break.

I was reading all of it.

Also, just a quick note, because we did that Tom Cruise segment with Bill from Brooklyn.

A few episodes back.

I finally this week got to see Mission Impossible Eight, the final reckoning.

I know I'm a little bit late, but honestly, one of my very favorite things to do and has been forever is to go to the, like, I have an inner geriatric.

Like George Clooney, I definitely have an inner geriatric.

I like to go to the movies on a weekday afternoon by myself and the movie's been out long enough so like there's really

nobody in the theater nobody's going to annoy me by talking or eating loudly or being on their

phone the whole time it's it's such a great like I find it a really decadent, enjoyable experience. So anyway,

I had that exact experience on Friday afternoon. And not only is Mission Impossible

Eight everything you would hope that it would be. There are all these, like Christopher McCory,

who is the genius writer, director of these films and has been collaborating with Tom Cruise for years and years.

He puts all these, there are little Easter eggs that aren't, and actual overt references, not just to old Mission Impossible's, but to other great films.

So if you're kind of a film geek, like I am, like it was really fun.
