Theater & Stream: A Film Podcast #016 - Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Praise Xenu! Box-office king Tom Cruise has returned to "save the movies." Via the Cruise/McQuarrie team, the M:I franchise has grown into one of the best action blockbuster offerings Hollywood can muster. Does the trend continue? We also discuss two huge news stories - the Emmy noms and what the SAG strike means for you, as a movie watcher. In a short, but meaty "Watchlist," Chuck has seen the "controversial film du jour," "The Sound of Freedom" and Matt watched the latest thing Soderbergh crapped out in his retirement. ALL THAT, plus "The Mentionables," in this super-sized episode!
