More from the vault this week on Parking Lot Critiques—Jeffrey and Andy's discussion of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, recorded in late 2018 as part of their Mission: Impossible marathon. If Ghost Protocol is the point at which the Mission: Impossible franchise hits full speed, Rogue Nation is a worthy film to take the baton. With the franchise under his control as writer and director, Christopher McQuarrie crafts an intelligent and intricate film with layers of commentary on and criticism of real life espionage and its depiction in cinema—especially its portrayal in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
