Before you watch the 7th Ethan Hunt adventure this summer, join your hosts as they go all the way back to the Clinton years and discuss the first entry, Brian De Palma's "Mission: Impossible" (1996). While Barry is giddy about this, his favorite in the series, Julia accepts the impossible mission of explaining the convoluted plot. Discussion topics include how awful it would be to work at CIA headquarters, what the heck is going on in the pre-credits scene, the superb use of Emilio Estevez and what's going on with that cougar arms dealer?
