38.5 Mission Implausible

38.5 Mission Implausible

Author: Dylan Davis July 19, 2025 Duration: 1:52:32
What can we say that hasn’t already been said about the last Mission Impossible film? And why can’t we just go through it all again? Just because we love cinema, love Tom Cruise, and every tangent in between. Danny Gaylord joins us from the Film is Lit Podcast as we fawn over and shake our head at this very, very flawed film. You can find the Super 70 Podcast wherever you find podcasts. You can find me, my book, and my blog at www.thatdylandavis.com and @thatdylandavis on threads, Letterboxd, and Blusky. You can find Roziland MacPhail on Soundcloud and Facebook.

Dylan Davis hosts The Super 70 Podcast, a unique audio experience built for film lovers. Each episode is designed as a scene-by-scene commentary track meant to be played in sync with a specific movie, offering deep-dive analysis, behind-the-scenes trivia, and thoughtful observations you might miss on a solo viewing. Of course, you can also just enjoy the conversation on its own during a commute or while doing chores-the insights stand alone. Dylan brings the perspective of a creator himself, having written works like "FLYNN!", "Dating Virginia," "Buffalo Seine," and "Threshold." This background as a writer and a dedicated consumer of culture informs the discussions, which are less about simple review and more about engaging with film as a vital, layered art form. Tune in to this podcast for a guided tour through the details of cinema, where the focus is on understanding the craft and the choices that shape the stories on screen. It’s like having a well-informed friend in the room, pointing out the clever edits, the symbolic set design, or the narrative turns that define a film’s impact. The goal is to enrich your viewing experience and foster a deeper appreciation for the movies, one scene at a time.
