The Bad and the Beautiful: Conversations on Cinema – Episode 11
On this episode, Charles and Jeff have chosen to accept Tom Cruise’s latest mission, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT. Does it self-destruct? Hardly. Ethan Hunt is, after all, the living manifestation of destiny. Then, from the nail-biting thrills of international espionage, we swing to the traumatic anxieties of middle school in EIGHTH GRADE, the awkwardly cringe-worthy new tale of modern adolescence in the social media age.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Does it self-destruct? Hardly. Ethan Hunt is, after all, the living manifestation of destiny.
Then, from the nail-biting thrills of international espionage, we swing to the traumatic anxieties of middle school in Eighth Grade, the awkwardly cringe-worthy new tale of modern adolescence in the social media age.
In between, we take a quick look at Blindspotting, the latest examination on modern urban life coming out of Oakland, CA, as well as the fascinating (and unexpectedly shocking) documentary Three Identical Strangers, about a set of triplet brothers who didn’t know they each existed until they were all nineteen-years-old.
Music Selections:
– “Mission: Impossible Theme”, Danny Elfman/Lalo Schifrin (Mission: Impossible)
– “The Exchange”, Lorne Balfe (Mission: Impossible – Fallout)
– “How To Be Confident”, Anna Meredith (Eighth Grade)
