Description

Good evening, Agent. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join your host, Azrael, on a deep-dive of the modern action classic 'Mission: Impossible – Fallout', exploring the making of the film and what it means for the past and future of action cinema. He will then rank all eight films in the series in honour of 'The Final Reckoning', which is currently in theaters. As always, if any members of your IMF team are caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
