In this explosive episode of the Over/Under Movies Podcast, we're diving headfirst into the Mission: Impossible franchise — from Brian De Palma’s stylish 1996 original all the way to the death-defying stunts of the Tom Cruise-led blockbusters. We break down Ethan Hunt's evolution, the franchise’s stunt spectacle, and whether these films are cinematic masterpieces or just popcorn fluff.

Is Fallout the best action movie of the decade? Did Dead Reckoning justify the hype? And how has Cruise’s commitment to practical stunts shaped modern action filmmaking? We explore all that and more — including critic vs. audience scores, franchise fatigue (or lack thereof), and the legacy of spy thrillers in Hollywood.

Plus: our Guess the Film from Its Letterboxd Reviews segment makes its triumphant return.

This week on the Over/Under Movies Podcast, we’re jumping to lightspeed and diving headfirst into a galaxy far, far away. That’s right—we’re talking about the legendary Star Wars original trilogy: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. These films helped redefine science fiction, revolutionize visual effects, and shape modern blockbuster filmmaking—but are they still as untouchable as fans claim?

We break down the cultural impact of George Lucas’s groundbreaking space opera, the strengths (and flaws) of each installment, and how the trilogy holds up today. Is Empire still the gold standard? Does Jedi deserve more love? And how much does nostalgia factor into the legacy?

We also dig into critic vs. audience reception, performances from Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, and whether the original trilogy lives up to its mythic status or is just a product of its time.

Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan or a skeptical newcomer, this episode is for you. Hit play, and may the Force be with you.

Ryan Coogler's new film, Sinners, is now out in theaters, and with this film getting incredible critic and audience scores, we just had to check it out for ourselves to see if it's REALLY as good as everyone is saying it is. With that being said, we went full SPOILERS with this review, so if you haven't seen the film yet, you have been warned!

​Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a genre-defying Southern gothic horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Michael B. Jordan stars in dual roles as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, WWI veterans who return home to open a juke joint with their musically gifted cousin Sammie (Miles Caton). Their dream of creating a safe haven for Black culture is shattered when a sinister force—led by an Irish vampire named Remmick (Jack O’Connell)—descends upon their community, turning the opening night into a battle for survival.​

Blending supernatural horror with themes of racial injustice, cultural appropriation, and artistic legacy, Sinners is Coogler’s most personal and ambitious film to date. Shot in large-format IMAX and featuring a haunting score by Ludwig Göransson, the film has earned critical acclaim for its bold storytelling and powerful performances.​
