Your mission, shoul- ok, fine, I’ll stop. There’s a new Mission: Impossible film, so David and Brent review it (this time keeping spoilers relatively minimal), and then dive into ranking elements of the series. They talk about their favorite villains, female leads, macguffins, set pieces, and cold opens, and try to figure out exactly what makes a Mission: Impossible film… besides Tom Cruise running.
Caution! Talkie Talk reviews are spoilery unless otherwise noted.
This episode also features minor discussions, which could include spoilers, of these films/shows:
– Jury Duty S1
– Barbie (spoiler-free)
– Every entry in the Mission: Impossible film series (heavy spoilers aside from Dead Reckoning Part 1)

The last one was fun, so we figure, why wait 3 years for another? In this episode, Brent, David, and TJ do a double review, first discussing Season 2 of Hulu’s The Bear, and then moving on to Netflix’s Chris Hemsworth-helmed action sequel. We’ve cooked up a great episode (WINK!) and we’re going to extract some… ok, just give it a listen.

– The Bear, S1 (duh)
– Extraction (2020) (duh)

224 episodes oughta do it, don’t you think?
You think we need one more?
We don’t have a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, even one Jethroe, a Leon Spinks, and certainly nothing close to the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever, but we do have Brent, David, and TJ to revisit Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 Vegas heist classic. We all go way back, and you owe us from the thing with the guy in the place, so give it a listen! We may or may not make you laugh, but we promise to not make you cry.

In a coincidence begat by a half-year delay in recording, Here Are the Nominees takes a look back at Ridley Scott’s war classic just in time for Veteran’s Day. This reverent re-telling of the Battle of Mogadishu is notable for its gritty, realistic immersion into the fog of war and serves as a reminder that anti-war films can still be pro-military. We take a look at Scott’s career, this incredibly deep cast, and how BHD fared at the 74th Academy Awards.

Thank God for double episodes. If they didn’t have double episodes, they wouldn’t have gotten the idea for the regular ones! Here Are the Nominees would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the wild ceremony and fairly tame award selections for the recent 94th Academy Awards, so first we do exactly that, discussing the winners and, generally, wha’ happened. Then we wrap up with a look at Christopher Guest’s 2003 Best Original Song-nominated folk mockumentary. Is David going to hold out in his distaste for Guest’s comic style, or will there be a kiss at the end of this rainbow? Listen to find out!

Michigan State Ph.D. candidate Kate Dibiasky has made a terrifying discovery – Brent and David’s microphones still work! Worried that our one movie a month pace might cause us to run out of movies by the year 3800, we took an 8 month break to let the Oscars get a better headstart. We’re back to talk about Adam McKay’s comet comedy nominated for four Academy Awards this month. We’re still knocking off the rust, so hopefully this won’t be a total disaster (this is where McKay would cut to a quick scene making sure you understand my use of the word disaster is a reference to the film’s plot, because you probably couldn’t have figured that out). Give it a listen!

To listen to this episode, hop on your lightbike and go inside your computer! You’ll need a casually placed laser, so head on over to your nearest small game developer/megacorporation and pick one up, then join us all in the HATN mainframe where we discuss 1982’s Tron, which was nominated for two Academy Awards – neither of which was for visual effects!

Someone pure of heart must have made a wish and jumped off a mountain, because Here are the Nominees is back! This time we’re looking at Ang Lee’s decuple-nominee (that means 10 – I had to look it up), Wuxia romantic adventure film that took the world by storm. Fly with us down memory lane and revisit the tale of the theft of the Green Destiny! After that, we’ll rehash its Oscar performance and, despite 10 nominations, still find some snubs. Give it a listen!
