RETROSPECTIVE 022: Mission Impossible Franchise

With its 8th and (final?) entry coming to theaters this coming weekend with Mission: Impossible–The Final Reckoning, we look back at the storied action franchise that dates back to 1996. We’ll reflect on the legacy of the franchise and its 7 entries, along with the stars and directors who have contributed to its 30-year evolution. We’ll discuss all the mask reveals, surfaces Tom Cruise has run across, and villains he has pursued as Ethan Hunt, the IMF agent who we’ll trust one last time.
