Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

235. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Guest: Paul Tweddle from Heavy Spoilers
Q: Tell us your overall thoughts on Mission Impossible, Rogue Nation.
Paul expresses that Rogue Nation is probably his favorite in the series to date, noting it as a reinvigoration of the franchise's formula and praising the solid ensemble, especially Ilsa Faust, while acknowledging the final act and some villain elements as weaker points.
236. Top Secret! (1984) - Guest: Emma Logsdon, YouTuber and Editor
Q: What makes Top Secret stand out among spy spoofs?
Emma highlights Val Kilmer's performance and the film's ambitious, craft-heavy gags, noting the film's willingness to trust the audience and the variety of musical numbers as standout elements.
Jens Hultén on Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation + Skyfall - SpyMaster Interview #124
Q: What was the story for Mission Impossible and how did that opportunity come your way?
Jens explains that a Swedish agent helped connect him to the Mission Impossible project after a self-tape process; eventually, a monologue audition and then a second tape led to a test in London, and he was offered a role after demonstrating his stunt and martial arts capabilities.
231. The Boss Baby (2017)
Q: Is there enough spy stuff in this film for it to be called a spy movie?
It's tough because in terms of what we think of as spy craft, it's definitely kind of on the line, but the corporate espionage element is probably strong enough.
231. The Boss Baby (2017)
Q: What do you think about Boss Baby?
It's a no from me; two interesting concepts, probably some big ideas in here that they never quite stick the landing off.
