Great episode for a movie that I was lukewarm on. Jen and I are in lockstep on this.

Shout out to Jen because I too love Katy O'Brien every time she's in anything. GIVE HER HER OWN MOVIE

Huge fan of everyone's calls for supporting characters. I think Taylor Trammell and Hailee Steinfeld are in the running for best line readings of the year. "And you must be......out of your damn...mind." The way I howled.

There is no way this movie is better than dead reckoning. Dead reckoning doesn't work super well either but there is a comedic energy that runs throughout that entire movie that is such a welcome breath of fresh air. Also the car chase scene in Rome is one of my favorite action sequences in the MI franchise.

The Fast/Furious slander is unnecessary and hurtful! I will argue that Fast 5 is better American action movie since 2000 other than The Dark Knight, Kill Bill Volume 1, and John Wick 4. And I absolutely adore Fallout in an unhealthy way. Fast 5, 7, and the original are legitimately great action movies imo. I can do away with the rest of the movies in that franchise tbh even though I have a soft spot in my heart for a couple of the others.
