This week on the InSession Film Podcast, with The Final Reckoning maybe being the end, we do a consensus ranking of the Top 5 stunts in the Mission: Impossible franchise! We also discuss the weekend box office and the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
– More on The Final Reckoning (0:34)
Despite having a cathartic conversation with Griffin Schiller of FilmSpeak in our review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, it turns out we had more to say on the film. We love this franchise and there’s something about these last two and its hard right turn with how they treat Ethan that left us quite frustrated.
– Dumb Twitter Discourse / 2025 Cannes (26:29)
The discourse around Lilo & Stitch has been nothing short of dumb and disingenuous. We felt inspired to not only address it, but specifically talk about why parents would take their kids to see *checks notes* a kids movie. Of all the movies out right now, it turns out there’s only one option appropriate for young kids. And you guys are never going to guess which one it is. After losing our minds, we end the segment celebrating the great films to come out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The fall season looks to be really exciting.
– Mission: Impossible Stunts Ranking (1:04:57)
Instead of doing a traditional Top 5 this week, we thought it would be more fun to do a consensus ranking of the best Mission: Impossible stunts. We started off by aiming for the five stunts that we loved the most, and ended up discussing thirteen because we just couldn’t help ourselves. There’s just so many absurd and incredible stunts to talk about, with some of them changing Hollywood filmmaking as we know it. With that said, what would be your Top 5 Mission: Impossible stunts?
