The Film School Janitors will self-destruct in five seconds!

Well, at least it always feels that way. The Janitors discuss MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING, as well as the other films in the M:I franchise, which are only M:I films. No HOBBS & SHAW-type spinoffs around these parts. (At least not yet...?)

Can you believe this is the first M:I film they've reviewed?!

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Review

We’re back in the French Riviera for a very special episode, as Girls On Film returns to the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

This year, host Anna Smith welcomed guests to the second Girls On Film Cannes Do at The Members Club. This glamorous networking event on the beach brought together filmmakers, critics, and creatives celebrating the power of women in cinema. In this episode, you’ll hear reflections from our community on what Girls On Film means to them.

Later on in the episode Anna reunites with film journalist Wendy Ide who reflects on this year’s films, which she says have been of a consistently high standard. Wendy shares her standout picks from the festival, from the fiercely divisive Die, My Love, a visceral exploration of the raw edges of motherhood and mental unravelling, to Sound of Falling, a haunting meditation on how trauma echoes through time and place. She also dives into Sirât, an allegorical road movie, in which gender and disability are refreshingly incidental, not defining. Plus other titles that are already generating serious awards buzz. 

And finally, we’re joined by Liza van der Smissen and Nicole Lieberman, founders of the Female Film Club. This trailblazing global network uplifts women in the industry through practical workshops, seminars and a thriving, supportive community. They share the story behind their mission and how they’re helping to reshape the future of film, one powerful connection at a time. 

They also unveil an exciting new opportunity: a £10,000 investment in a short film, designed to give back to their talented global community. To enter from 16th June onwards, filmmakers must join their networking space.

Episode 82: Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Exposition & The Military in Film

In 1996 Ethan Hunt hit theaters and MTV played Clayton and Mullen's version of the series theme, which was originally written in 1966 by Argentinian jazz pianist Lalo Schifrin.

Originally tracked with FT2.

Mission Impossible Theme rezMIX (1996)

So there’s this movie about a woman who’s a spy and kicks a lot of ass and kills people. No, not “Atomic Blonde.” No, not “Ballerina.” And not “Alias” or “Red Sparrow” or “Black Widow” or… okay, maybe not the most original concept. But before all of these things there was “The Long Kiss Goodnight” - the Geena Davis/Renny Harlin attempt to keep working despite one of Hollywood’s most disastrous bombs the year before (Cutthroat Island). Like all of our shows, it’s a wild ride this week! We also cover some music, some James Bond stuff, Mission: Impossible, and America’s attempt to reject monarchy.

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors

This is a show about everything and nothing at all. We'll try to take you on a journey that shows you that your life is better than ours. Hopefully in the process make you laugh at some odd conversations.
