Nearly three decades after Tom Cruise first dangled from the ceiling in that iconic vault scene, we're diving deep into the original Mission Impossible film to answer one burning question: does this 90s action thriller still hold up in 2025?

This mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join us in determining whether the original Mission Impossible still deserves its place in the action movie hall of fame, or if this message should self-destruct.

38:50 Cool vs Nostalgia Results

The eternal struggle is fought here between what is genuinely cool and timeless for every generation versus those things that are pure nostalgia and only seem great because of your childhood memories. Whether it’s Ghostbusters, Star Wars, James Bond, Super Mario, Star Trek, or Marvel Comics vs DC, we cover all our favorite things from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. After each of us present an item related to the episode’s topic, the group votes to decide whether it is still Cool or Just Nostalgic.
