Summary

The Enemy of The Entity Is My Friend Brock, Arnie, and Stuart are at last ready to have The Final Reckoning with the eighth Mission: Impossible film, as well as its daredevil star, Tom Cruise. Does the world still need Ethan Hunt to dangle from dogfighting airplanes, dive solo into deep-sea submarine wrecks, or impersonate others in lookalike masks? Or would it be better to let artificial intelligence take over the planet and remove nuclear control from unstable leaders like President Angela Bassett and General Nick Offerman? Step out of the shadows and enjoy Now Playing’s latest podkova today!
