173 - Mission: Impossible - II with George Hendricks and Jonathan Howell

WARNING: This episode is very explicit.

Welcome back to Reel Comic Heroes—the podcast where we take a deep dive into the best (and sometimes worst) action-packed, comic-inspired, and downright legendary films. Today, we’re tackling a sequel that cranked up the stunts, slow motion, and doves—Mission: Impossible II.

Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, but this time, John Woo is in the director’s chair, bringing his signature style of over-the-top action, intense face-offs, and, of course, some gravity-defying motorcycle chases. But does this sequel live up to the impossible standard set by the first film, or does it self-destruct in a blaze of fire and techno music?

Our returning guests are George Hendricks and Jonathan Howell.

Strap in, put on your best disguises, and let’s talk Mission: Impossible II.
