In this episode, Kim and Billy Talk Mission: Impossible 3 and the impossible mission behind getting this movie made in the first place, which of course includes an overview of Tom Cruise and the infamous year 2005. Some discussed topics include: Billy’s strong feelings about Smokin’ Aces; the fact that Domino’s Pizza is better at screening people than the IMF; our favourite Theodore Brassel lines; Italian Gael García Bernal; the relationship between Owen Davian and Kim’s dating life; so much more!

CORRECTIONS:

  • 2005 press tour was for War of the Worlds, not M:I 3
  • Nostril air bubble was magnificently blown for Minority Report, not War of the Worlds
  • The actress from Scandal at the engagement party is none other than the fabulous Bellamy Young. Forgive us, Bellamy!
