Chimera! Bellerophon! Viruses, antidotes, scientists, the black plague, kids playing and singing, airplanes, and multiple kinds of masks, and who is really who?! These are some of the key parts of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II pre-title sequence.

If you don’t know the back story to the Greek mythology figures Chimera and Bellerophon, take a listen to this episode to find out why these two figures are used as the codenames for the virus and its antidote.

Plus, you have to love call-backs to the black plague in a modern movie.

So, Dan and Tom decode this pre-title sequence. We think it is an underrated sequence and does a great job of setting up the rest of the movie.
