Summary

It’s May, it’s May, the lusty month of May! Despite that introduction, Paul and Erika aren’t talking about musicals, or Camelot, or Julie Andrews…no, they’re spending the month talking about spy movies! And how else could they kick off this month than by talking about the film that took the desire deep in Tom Cruise’s heart to one day die while flinging himself off of a moving train, and fanning that desire into a spark, and that spark into a flame, and that flame into a hugely successful film franchise?? Grab your parachute, a face mask, and a stunt double, we’re talking the very first Mission: Impossible!
