🎬 This Week at The Popcorn Pundits – Week 83
Peter & James went full IMF as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning exploded onto screens—and yes, Tom Cruise is still sprinting like the fate of the world depends on it.
💥 Directed by Christopher McQuarrie
🕶️ Starring: Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Henry Czerny
What’s the mission?
Ethan Hunt’s team is racing to stop a rogue AI (called “The Entity”—spooky) from triggering nuclear doom via a sunken Russian sub. It’s global espionage, emotional trauma, and underwater chaos… with stunts that should probably be illegal.
🎯 What we loved:
• Cruise jumping off more things than necessary 🚁
• Benji sweating bullets (as always) 💻
• The Skyfall-style emotional depth
• That submarine finale—Hunt for Red October vibes with a 2025 makeover
🎶 The score? Pulse-pounding.
🎭 The stakes? Higher than Ethan’s last motorbike jump.
🎉 The verdict? A high-octane, globe-trotting farewell (…or is it?)
🌀 Plus, Nikky's got this week’s Sequel throwback waiting for you too—what movie did she dig out of the Pundit vault?
