The very conversation that needed a 2nd part, Greg & Joe's discussion of the 7th Mission:Impossible film might be considered treason. Nothing could be more exciting than a new Mission:Impossible movie coming out this week, so it was time to do a deep dive on the previous film, Dead Reckoning Part 1.

What if Jason Bourne was also TurboTax? Ben Affleck is an autistic math savant who moonlights as a lethal assassin and part-time financial consultant for warlords. And you know what? One of the hosts of this show loves this movie.

Secret trailer arsenals? Check. Hidden identities? Double check. Anna Kendrick showing up to save the movie? Triple check with a spreadsheet.

This is peak Great Bad Movie material: it’s serious about being serious, but somewhere deep in its Excel-loving soul, it knows it’s kind of ridiculous.

30 years later, it hasn't aged a day! (Just kidding.)

If you can get past Janice to join us for this episode, and that’s a BIG if… Greg and Joe’s conversation will feel a lot like your missions in Cairo: A cake walk, thanks to the training. So hop on your horse, walk it into an elevator, and get on our level 😀

It’s time for you to start lying to your spouse, and then tell them the truth, so that they can join you in your secret life. In the end, and this is important, you’ll probably dress up and dance the tango together, because that’s adorable. True Lies is 30 years old, so it’s finally time for the conversation that needed to be had.

We’re celebrating our 1st anniversary with the turbo-charged, melodrama-soaked, gravity-defying classic that redefined what a Great Bad Movie truly is. Fast Five is the Citizen Kane of car-based heist movies.

We saved this one for a special occasion, because Fast Five isn’t just any movie — it’s a beautifully chaotic mix of telenovela-level emotional showdowns, dialogue that sounds philosophical but means almost nothing, and incredible action sequences with things you've never seen before. Is it absurd? Absolutely. Is it brilliant? Unquestionably. Is it a little bad? Ummmmmm, all we can say is we love every second of it.

Come celebrate with us as we toast to one year of great cinematic achievements, and honor the film that somehow made dragging a vault through Rio with two Dodge Chargers look cooler than it has any right to.

We are joined by our inaugural guest, the hilarious Scott Erickson to discuss a fake movie about a billionaire who uses his money to pursue his selfish goals. Not really a thing that happens IRL. We’ll dive into the real questions: What ice cream does Joe spare no expense on? Should Neapolitan ice cream be equally chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry? How has Jeff Goldblum somehow made sweaty chaos theory sexy? There’s obviously a LOT to talk about.

Also, we get to the real MVPs: Timmy, the trolling younger brother, Newman’s Barbasol can, Samuel L. Jackson’s off-screen demise(?), and that poor lawyer who just wanted a quiet moment on the toilet. From velociraptors who learn how to open doors to a T-Rex that follows no rules of physics, we’re covering all the glorious nonsense that makes Jurassic Park a high-budget disasterpiece. So grab a flare, hold onto your butts, and let’s see if life, uh, finds a way… to make this episode worth your time.

Scott chose this movie because he talks about the Jurassic Park series in his hilarious book and show called Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up On Yourself.

Dev Patel woke up and chose absolute (heartbreaking) chaos, directing himself in a revenge thriller that's basically "John Wick meets Indian mythology but more SAD and ANGRY." This masterpiece has Patel literally wearing a gorilla mask to get repeatedly beaten in underground fight clubs for money before transforming into a one-man apocalypse against corrupt elites.

But what makes this cinematic sledgehammer truly magnificent is how it's simultaneously the most visceral action debut since The Raid AND a scathing political allegory about class warfare that features Dev Patel's character learning knife skills from an outcast Indian communtiy. The movie swings wildly between heartbreaking cultural commentary and scenes where our hero gets his face literally set on fire while fighting in a burning kitchen.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Dev Patel's interview in Vanity Fair
• The trailer for Dev Patel's animated short, Roborovski
• The Fresh Air interview with Walter Murch, sound designer for Francis Ford Coppola's biggest movies.

It’s time to celebrate the heroes at the Bio-Cover Unit, and make fun of families who bizarrely graze each other’s faces with their fingers.

Joe decides if loving this movie is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right. Greg has divisive, controversial takes on John Travolta and Boat Chases, and an unfettered love of loud fabrics and BOOM SHOES.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Anderson, Montgomery, Berkely, Pinkus, Gianelli, and Winters.
