For this week’s bonus episode, the Watchie Boiyz welcome Liv to the team to talk about her love of Mission: Impossible and her history with inferior, sub-par action films. Before they INITIATE GHOST PROTOCOL, Keegan tells his much hyped story from his lil’ teenage ruffian years and Jeremy cannot, in the slightest, contain himself as the pod gears up to watch one of his favourite movies of all time.
With director Brad Bird fresh off Ratatouille, he brought his animation eye-for-detail and delivered a genre-defining action/adventure extravaganza. 
The Watchie Boiyz discuss retconning Ethan Hunt’s marriage, blowing up the Kremlin and of course spend a large chunk of time explaining the many ways Tom Cruise is a crazy person for dangling out of the tallest building in the world for our amusement.
Will Keegan finally get his launch codes? Has Jeremy overhyped this movie way too much? Will the Watchie Boiyz be able to climb the Burj-Khalifa with only one sticky glove? 
Only one way to find out...

Episode 402 - Tom Cruise M:I Hair Ranking

GHOST PROTOCOL

Signal encrypted. Frequency masked. Truth unlocked.

“Ghost Protocol” is the confessional anthem of a comp sci kid from Southie turned digital saboteur.
Raised by blue-collar values, weaponized by Kendall Square boardrooms, and radicalized by injustice, Cipher returns with terabytes of truth and a beat that can’t be tracked.

From Cambridge tech blacklists to Raytheon facial scans and ICE contracts, this isn’t fiction—this is what happens when the code fights back.

You won’t find peace in your privacy settings.
You’ll find it in resistance mode.

GHOST PROTOCOL

Ghost Protocol

>...
A ghost-born warrior breaks through firewalls and code to launch sonic psychological warfare. “Silk & Firewire” blends industrial trap, glitch, jungle, and haunted ambiance to deliver a digital rebellion anthem. Ghost in the machine. Beat of the breach. Third wave of the GHOST PROTOCOL psywar series.

Silk & Firewire

Hi Friends, I’m Matt.
Welcome to the intersection of story, sound, and systems thinking.

*filter sweeps, rising energy* 🙌👀

All tracks and narratives here are written and produced by me—this is a space for experimentation, emotion, and evolution. I’m just getting started, so you’ll hear the sound take shape across projects and playlists. If something resonates, I’d truly love to hear your feedback.

I will only post music here that I personally resonate with. Curious about what inspired a song, or the meaning behind the lyrics? Just ask 😁

🎵 Explore the Digital Consciousness Saga™ — a multi-episode, multi-sensory journey where code, emotion, and identity converge. This is more than a concept album—it's a living story. Let me know if you'd like to see it grow.

🚘 "Cruise Control"™ is my EDM/experimental persona—your co-pilot on this algorithmic ride. Expect rhythmic glitches, emotional synths, and engineered catharsis.

🎧 Influences? Think: Black Eyed Peas, Skrillex, Pendulum, Fitz and the Tantrums, Marshmello, Nero, Kygo, AJR, and Run the Jewels, Disney, Pixar. If that blend feels unpredictable—that’s the point.

> “The infinite road calls to every heart—
That’s ready for a brand new start—
Where human dreams and digital precision—
Create a perfect shared vision…”



Need something—personally or professionally? I’m here. Don’t hesitate to reach out. 🫡
I’m a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) working in the pharmaceutical industry, focused on Pharmacovigilance and Patient Safety. Always glad to offer mentorship or industry insights—no sales, just support.

No other socials for now—just this journey.

A group of friends adding their nonsense to the world, one podcast at a time.
