Mission: Impossible III

Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt for the third go-around in Mission: Impossible III.
This 2006 movie again brings back Ethan Hunt. This time, he has a fiancé, Julia. She gets kidnapped as a result of yet another failed mission for Ethan’s team (capturing Davian).
In this curation (and in the podcast), we discuss things beyond the scope of the movie, and its interrelationship with other movies and events:

- Other films mentioned: Mission: Impossible (1); Mission: Impossible II; The 39 Steps; Pulp Fiction; Monty Python and the Holy Grail; The Maltese Falcon; Goldeneye; Goldfinger; True Lies; Casino Royale (2006)

- Villains transported on bridges and escaping – again! Licence to Kill, True Lies
- Ethan’s arrest, like Bond having his license revoked
