buddy based lit analyzer and we're going to be covering a couple films of recent note um i might throw in some

dead reckoning as well because we had final reckoning and then we want to do the very bizarre but

very enjoyable from my perspective nicholas cage film the surfer of course i'm a huge nick cage

fan and we've got BLA with us.

What's up, dog? How you doing? What's up, y'all? I'm looking forward to this one.

This one fits into your Nick Cage, a canon. And I think, I think it's a pretty interesting movie.

There's a lot to be said. It certainly fits into a lot of the stuff that you guys have talked about recently.

And then if we get to the new Mission Impossible, I'm definitely looking forward to that one because we saw it today.

And we've got some thoughts on it.

I do too.

Why don't we start with the Mission Impossible if that's okay just because I actually think the surfer was a better film

than the Mission Impossible. I did not think that Final Reckoning was that great. It was kind of a

lackluster showing in my view. So maybe a little bit of background of Mission Impossibles

and then some final reckoning and then we'll go to the

surfer is that okay with you yeah yeah yeah so BLA tell us initial thoughts about

first of all the overall Mission Impossible Tom Coombs series, then Dead Reckoning, and then Final Reckoning.

Well, I think, well, there are eight parts to this. And what's amazing is that the first film came out May, like May 22nd, 1996, May 22nd or 24th. The date is in the final reckoning, which was sort of added in there. And I remember, just I guess

background, I remember watching Mission Impossible, the television show when I was a kid, and I thought

it was super cool. It's spy stuff. And so then when the film came out, I just finished my exams

at school, and I went with my dad and my dad and I kind of had a like a tradition of going to these mission of possible movies just like a Bond movie.

That's this kind of the thing.

Yeah, exactly.
