Gimme Three Podcast - A Series For Cinephiles
Gimme Three is a love letter to one of the most powerful mediums of artistic expression—a love letter to the films that moved us and to the great experiences we've had watching them.
In each episode, hosts Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis (and frequent special guests) will pick three incredible movies based on a selected theme.
The Gimme Three podcast aims to encourage people to return to the theater and expand their watch lists through fun banter and passionate analysis.
Gimme Three Podcast - A Series For Cinephiles
75 - Mission: Impossible? Mission: Accomplished! (feat. Sonja Mereu)
This week, we’re celebrating the release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which highlights three films with the biggest stunts, highest stakes, and most pulse-pounding, applaud-worthy finishes of the Mission: Impossible franchise.
- We start at the beginning, with Brian De Palma’s now legendary spy thriller. 1996’s Mission: Impossible.
- Second, we jump to the franchise’s fourth installment. Tom Cruise scales the highest building in the world in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
- Finally, we deep-dive into one of the series' most emotionally satisfying films, Mission: Impossible - Fallout.
In addition to talking about the films themselves, Nick, Bella, and producer Sonja Mereu discuss their favorite stunts, characters, and, of course, their favorite Tom Cruise hairstyles.
