We reach the middle portion of our Mission: Impossible Retrospective with entries from a young, hungry JJ Abrams and an unexpectedly competent Brad Bird. In "News," we give an update to last week's story about a TV with two screens, another check-in with the WGA Strike, and a report from the Cannes Film Fest. In "The Watchlist", it's Fatal Attraction, Dungeons & Dragons, and Barry. To round out the show, in "The Mentionables" Matt recommends a profile about Jeremy Strong and Chuck's got a report he needs you to read. All THAT, plus our "Picks of the Week!"

The WGA strike runs into its second week, and we break down the latest heads to roll. The Watchlist this week includes the heady high concept "Class of '09", and the sports drama "Air", along with a quick hit about the "Jeopardy: Masters" tournament. The main event is the first installment of our "Mission: Impossible" retrospective, covering Brian De Palma's debut installment and John Woo's batshit insane sequel.
